James Jacob 'Flow' EP (Food Music)
Shadow Child and Kry Wolf’s Food Music label brings us this new EP from James Jacob, who you may remember from his strong collaboration with T Williams for Strictly Rhythm. ‘Over’ is a heads-down stomper with a shuffling groove, hypnotic tones and a whispered vocal, while ‘One Second’ makes more of an instant impression thanks to its rave clangs, frenetic drums and tumbling bassline. The self-assured ‘Shifty’, meanwhile, will ably rock a dancefloor, but without banging it just for the sake of it. With productions such as these and endorsements from respected names, it won’t be long before Jacob moves into the big league.
