Om Unit

Threads

Om Unit perfectly blends the old with the new. 15 moody tracks that keeps your heart pumping from the beginning through the end. While this is a debut full length for Om Unit, real name Jim Coles, it is in fact the producer’s fourth studio album, following from work in the 2000s under the name 2tall. Having reset the clock on his artistic output in 2010, Coles has spent the past three years refining a unique sound as Om Unit via collaborations with Machinedrum on Planet Mu, releases on Goldie’s Metalheadz, dBridge’s Exit Records and Civil Music, his own Cosmic Bridge label and the short-lived Phillip D. Kick alias that fleshed out the links between Chicago’s footwork, jungle and slow/fast. The confluence of all this work takes full flight on Threads.
Across its fifteen tracks Threads articulates Om Unit’s musical journey from his beginnings to the present. Highly recommended.
