Previously responsible for a split release on the Cologne label, Jatoma's debut album for Kompakt shows that he's interested in a range of sounds and approaches. There's the straight up dancefloor stompers like "Durian" and "Paper Lights", which fuse trancey euphoria with jerky, jack-knifing rhythms, but there's also deeper grooves like "Houseboat" and "Manipura" and a brief flirtation with organic drums on "Helix". Jatoma isn't just about the club however, and the fuzzy ambience of "Alang Beach" is the first sign that Jatoma is in touch with a more mellow sound, something that he further articulates on "Permafrost". However, the beatless sphere is also where Jatoma lets out some of his demons, and it's hard to listen to the drones of "Wood Face" - which features a redneck guitar sample right at the end - and "Luvdisc" without coming away with the feeling that there's something not quite right on Planet Jatoma. Essential uneasy listening.
