the ep is finished off with a track from dublins slowburn. they debut with >meteor<, a deep as you like slow burner. lovely kicks, languid keys. a promising start from ireland!

a1: >feels like< - a great start to this release, a dreamy vocal backed with heavy disco style percussion and a awesome bass line!
a2: >give you love< - classic nicholas right here! a great soulful vocal sample paired with chilled disco / house percussions.
b1: >i know< featuring nick anthony - this track brings something different to the release, a more percussive feel, again with classic nicholas style chopped vocal samples and bass.
b2: >inside my mind< - deep funky bass line, again great percussive elements with just right amount of space and nice keys/synth sounds. as with the rest of these tracks, a brilliant vocal sample tops it off!

jatoma are all about the unknown and though they are new amongst us they remain cloaked in paradoxes and already questioned by many. some think that one of the members is a famed producer amongst 2 genius teenagers.
others project they are a side act for a band held in the highest regard. some will speculate they are just trying to get more attention by remaining unknown. the facts remain blurry and ambiguous but there remains an clear authenticity surrounding these factors - jatoma are clearly one of 2010s most inventive new acts our ears have had the pleasure to hear and its with our excitement we welcome them to kompakt. so enter their self-titled debut full length - >jatoma<.
