Benassi Bros.
Phobia
(Ultra)
Euro house duo nail down another non-stop barrage of club tracks.
Alle and Benny Benassi strike a cliche, if efficient balance: Alle’s the diligent composer, Benny’s the big-name DJ. Conspiring together, Phobia never rings hollow despite being destined as a vacuous, 4 a.m. nightclub soundtrack. Guest vocalists Dhany, Sandy Chambers, vocoder-friendly Paul French, Naan, and JB are complementary yet undistinguished, perfect for the Playboy of electronic music: No one’s reading the articles.
