In a recent production tutorial, Om Unit described musicians as "transceivers of information".

"I think once we understand that", he continued, "then it becomes less about making things with such a fixed perspective and more about adding something reflective to the landscape by using our own techniques to hopefully create something unique and convincing." Taken in context this may have been a quite about production, but it also extends to the philosophy that makes Om Unit's music tick. You only need to read one interview to realise that he's religiously studied the forms of music dearest to him, and thought long and hard about what he can add to them. He doesn't take his position as a musician lightly, in short.
He originally did this as 2Tall, releasing a series of albums and mix CDs from 2004-2008, including the brilliant Beautiful Mindz, a collaboration with Dudley Perkins and Georgia Anne Muldrow. As Om Unit, he found his opening act with a white label edit of Joker's 'Digidesign'; the track was heavily supported by Plastician, who signed Om Unit up for a full EP on his Terrorhythm label.

Om Unit continued to released warped hip-hop on labels like All City and Civil, but in 2011 something really clicked. Inspired by Chicago's footwork scene, which had started making waves in Europe due to the support of Planet Mu and others, he released a series of EPs under the name Philip D Kick which explored the then-mostly-untapped ground between jungle and footwork. He wasn't quite the only one doing this - in fact, when Om Unit and Machinedrum discovered they'd had the same idea, they joined forces for an EP as Dream Continuum - but he was among the first to discover this winning formula, and it led to a whole new phase of Om Unit's career. After years of studying the form, he was now a fully-fledged jungle producer.

Like the best jungle producers, Metalheadz eventually came calling. Om Unit's latest EP Inversion was released last week on 'Headz and saw Om Unit given access to label boss Goldie's DAT archive and sample collection, which he "gladly used as salt 'n' pepper to spice up the work." This week, he toasts Inversion with a mix that leans heavily on producers like, like himself, started off making non-jungle music but have been drawn to the style of late: Lee Banon, Etch, Lee Gamble and Teklife's DJ Earl all feature, alongside 4Hero, Dead Can Dance and more.

Limited edition 10" vinyl in 2 colour screen print sleeve designed by Utile Creative and hand pulled at Rarekind Print House. No repress.

Fracture returns to the label for the first solo release since The Limit VIP to kick off another LTD 10” series. APHALTD001 sees Fracture giving the VIP treatment to one of his favourite hardcore records from 1992; The Skeleton Krew’s ‘Luv Ta Luv Ya’. Originally released on Skeleton Recordings, it was a big favourite of DJ Randall and LTJ Bukem but as a young Charlie Fracture was only 13 at the time it was pirate radio where he first heard it: 

“I had a tape from my favourite station, Weekend Rush. It was a Vinyl Groove set with MC Shabba over it and a lot of the records on there totally blew my mind. I’ve since found out what pretty much all of the records are but there was this one, Luv Ta Luv Ya, that I only recently managed to get an ID on and lost my mind again. I hadn’t heard it outside of that tape, which I sadly lost.” 

Soon after finding out the details of the record, Fracture took to twitter to pass on his love for the track and praise to DJ Monita. It turned out the praise was mutual and that he was very much still active. Very soon after that a remix was arranged . . . sometimes the internet does actually work, or was it something in the stars?
