Some things stay.

Some things pass.

most of what matters happens somewhere in between.

Eight different moments.One place in between.

Not quite the beginning. Not quite the end. A record about the part in the middle: instinct and restraint, closeness and distance, what happened and what almost did. Built on warm grooves and restless rhythm, it has as much release in it as reflection.

Built to move a room first, and to still mean something on the drive home.

Jordanian.Dubai-based.Artist and DJ.

ATOUM is a Jordanian artist and DJ based in Dubai. He makes melodic and progressive house with the shuffle of UK garage running underneath it: warm basslines, restless drums, and hooks that are played as often as they are sung.

Years behind the decks shaped the writing. The tracks are built to move a room first, and to still mean something on the drive home.

His album, Everything in Between, is in preparation.
