Few people have pushed the boundaries of breakbeat driven music further than Jim Coles in recent years. Formerly a Hip-Hop DJ and producer 2Tall, Coles shook off this alias around the turn of the last decade and began growing into his current incarnation as Om Unit. During this time he adopted briefly adopted another guise as Phillip D Kick, going on to use that moniker to cross-pollinate Chicago Footwork with Jungle - in doing so helping to develop the so-called 'slowfast' style that has since become his calling card. A fan of DnB since his youth, Coles was delighted when his work at higher tempos was eventually recognised by none other than Goldie - who enlisted him to drop last year's 'Sleepwalkers' three  tracker on his iconic Metalheadz imprint. 

That EP is now followed a year later by 'Inversion' an 8 Track mini album that finds Coles straddling all of the tropes of modern Drum and Bass that he himself has helped establish, whilst giving a healthy nod to the genre's traditions as defined by 'Headz. For his part Coles says he's, "..truly blessed to be able to put this project together and to be welcomed into the fold so readily". Before the record drops in full next Monday 17th November, we've got 'Parallel' for you to listen to in full below. A sullen amen driven stepper, it comes heavy with all the oomph of classic Headz thanks to stabs of scuzzily distorted Reese bassline that gut punches from the low end.

Slow Pressure

This track was inspired from a stag weekend in Amsterdam in the early 2000's. A group of guys all trying psychedelics for the first time resulted in a crazy trip...The original version of this track was about 3 years old now but finally got my production skills up to a level where I could make it sound like what was in my head properly....

SEDITION  - THE SPIRITS (BBCR1 EXCLUSIVE)

Crazy deep tune from the boys, actually surprised no one put it up yet. The amount of times when i had to force my brain to remember what i m hearing... my theory is that it will be on 1985.
