Om Unit steps into 2020 with ‘Submerged’, a six-track EP comprised of varied uptempo grooves, which in his own way defy categorisation once again. The EP draws influence from various aspects of the techno landscape as much as borrowing from tropes of previous work including his trademark use of space, rhythmic tension and sub-heavy hypnotic bass melodies. A record that showcases further diversity and sonic innovation within the realm of what has been coined ‘160’, a loose term to describe a movement which he himself has helped to pioneer since the early 2010’s.

Submerged opens with the electro-inspired ‘Patterning’, which takes as much influence from Detroit as from the rhythmic structure of jungle and broken beat, drawing a parallel between these forms in a similar fashion to artists such as deep blue or even 4 hero might have in the 90’s but with an upfront broken structure that might even be described as ‘retro-futurist’ in it’s electro sensibilities. ‘A Groove’ comes next leaning fully into a 4 x 4 foundation, with classic Juke-style construction, paying respect to modern funk in the process with it’s classic Roland pads and sun-drenched synth lead line whilst borrowing a jungle break here and there not in a dissimilar fashion to his work as ‘Philip D Kick’. Side A closes with ‘Vertigo’ which takes us in to a minimal eyes-down realm with a hypnotic vocal sample and a half-stepping percussive structure all supported by a seriously low sub-rhythm. Not one for the feint-hearted selector. Side B opens with ‘Runes’ which invokes a sense of nostalgia back to his work on ‘threads’ with gently rolling percussion and bass lines that support a synth landscape that invoke the a sense of the other-worldly dance-floor. Next up it’s ‘Long Summer’ a grounded and percussive Jazzy workout not that dissimilar to tracks from 2019’s ‘Violet’ EP, taking influence from Bukem’s classic ambient jungle of the 90’s but with his own unmistakable half-stepping ‘slow-fast’ groove. The record closes with ‘Peninsula’ which again whilst not being dissimilar to the work of ‘Violet’ this time takes the 160 realm into to a slow-mo 4/4 groove heavily inspired by the masters of dub techno, backed up with a classic syncopated breakbeat in classic Om Unit style.

This EP is another chapter in Om Unit’s work around the 160bpm realm, taking complete ownership of his process and leaning away from the confines of genre once again, expressing ideas that whilst lean heavily into known places make connections that some might not at first easily perceive.

The Empath EP is an assortment of tracks produced over the last year or so that highlight a current space of my journey in sound and my path as an artist and human being. Some of my most honest work to date. These songs lie heavily under the influence of experimental drum & bass and jungle, all while reflecting back to dark ambient and autonomic landscapes. An idealistic blend between sound system and headphone music.

Spread across the whole spectrum of this EP lie a variation of sounds created from soft and hard synth experimentation, resulting in textured atmospheres, hypnotic drones, evolving melodies, all while synchronizing with the contrast of warm sub rhythms and acid bass. The direction in creating these songs were heavily guided from my approach of drum break/percussion manipulation, and intricate sampling from banked sound design sessions over the years that are intimately personal to me upon periods of life I can reflect on. I’ve always been a heavy feeling person and throughout the process of creating these songs, it’s been quite rewarding to learn more about myself, about music, about culture and most importantly, how to live a better life. It’s all just part of my story and pushing myself to create alterity within music and art. Insight into foresight. I’m fortunate to progress and keep moving. Thank you for your ears, and thank you for the support.

Empath EP (Previews)

Translation pays homage to the version with a special release curated by Dubmonger, kicking off a new era of collaboration. This is just the beginning!
 
Our favorite versionist originally kicked this project off as a competition, inviting others to remix his track “Version 2”. Once the submissions started coming in, Dubmonger approached us with the idea of curating a release of his favorite from the batch – the ones that, when played from start to finish, felt like “…an album of versions as opposed to a bunch of remixes.” The contrast in styles and extent to which the source material was stretched, morphed, and deconstructed made clear these works went beyond “remix” status. So here they are, presented not as remixes but as original works book-ended by two fresh Dubmonger cuts, Alpha Version and Omega Version.

To round things off, Forest Basha created a special mix heaped in his own custom sound where tracks are effected, mixed, and recorded to tape, alongside a hand-built dub siren before these recordings are re-captured at a slower speed. These down-pitched tape versions meander through an opaque dubwise haze, inviting the listener get even deeper into each composition.

Tracklist:
1. Dubmonger – Alpha Version
2. Ducker – The Final Fort Version
3. Dub Across Borders – Organ Transplant Version
4. dreadmaul – Indigo Warpaint Version
5. Rainforest – Jungle Animator Version
6. Flatliners – Stoner’s Love Version
7. RogueState – It Came From the Swamp Version
8. neuroleptick – Dubmonger Meets a Reductionist Uptown Version
9. Forest Basha – Wayward Dub Scryer Version
10. Dubmonger – Omega Version
11. Forest Basha - Versions From the Treeline (Bonus Mix)
