Om Unit

British producer and DJ Jim Coles' work as Om Unit is an intricate yet fluid hybrid of several forms of bass-heavy electronic music. Notable as one of the first producers to fuse juke/footwork with jungle, his music shows a clear reverence for drum'n'bass while simultaneously pushing the genre forward. Initially debuting the Om Unit moniker in 2009 with material which leaned closer to dubstep and wonky hip-hop, his work grew increasingly complex and harder to define with releases such as 2013's full-length Threads occupying their own sonic territory. During the early 2020s, he forged a new sound with a series of Acid Dub Studies releases. Om Unit has released material on well-regarded drum'n'bass labels such as Metalheadz and Exit Records, and is responsible for Cosmic Bridge, a label similarly dedicated to futuristic bass explorations.
