Metalheadz Podcast 57 - Om Unit

Recorded Live at Outlook 2015 - The Void

As a producer and DJ, Jim Coles has been a significant and pioneering presence in various dance music circles for the past five years. Following a formative decade in the global hip-hop underground, Coles took the name Om Unit in the late 2000s and began to travel across genres and scenes in search of sonic tropes to cross-breed and re-imagine. Key to his approach is a desire to never settle for the destination and instead focus on what can be learned from the journey.

What drives Coles is a desire to keep challenging himself, and in turn his audience. Over the past five years, this has led him to distill various influences — hip-hop, dubstep, ambient, jungle, footwork — into a fluid take on sound system culture that sidesteps the pitfalls of genres and pastiche and creates new potentials for exploration and inspiration, with many following in his footsteps. It's how, in the early 2010s, he came to pioneer the stylistic and rhythmic links between jungle and footwork via a series of acclaimed edits that brought him to the attention of the drum & bass scene. This personal approach has earned Coles praise as a refreshing voice in dance music from both peers and the media.

On record, Coles' explorations into the deeper end of the electronic music spectrum have come via releases for Civil Music, including a critically acclaimed debut album, 2013's Threads, legendary drum & bass outfit Metalheadz, where he was given access to Goldie's personal sample archive as the inspiration for 2014's Inversion album, Planet Mu, for a collaboration with Machinedrum as Dream Continuum, All City Records, remixing Grammy-winning producer Om'Mas Keith, Plastician's Terrorhythm, and Exit Records, where he first collaborated with Sam Binga (leading to their BUNIT series of white label releases). The same exploratory approach has made him an in-demand remixer and BBC Radio 1, Boiler Room, Resident Advisor, FACT, XLR8R, and Rinse FM have called on him to provide mixes and showcase his sound.
In 2011, Coles set up a label, Cosmic Bridge Records, through which he has exercised an A&R sensibility that has created an exciting independent home for likeminded artists. The label's releases, pressed onto limited edition vinyl runs, regularly sell out within days of their street date. Through Cosmic Bridge, Coles has championed veterans such as Kromestar and Boxcutter alongside new voices from Europe and America, including Moresounds, Danny Scrilla, and Graphs. The label's breadth is best seen in the celebrated, and award-nominated,Cosmolog compilation series Coles began overseeing in 2014. Cosmic Bridge represents a dual path of inspiration: that which Coles found in others' music, and that which others have found in his.

Coles is also a sought after DJ, with over 300 appearances in clubs and festivals in more than 30 countries he has made the equivalent of over a dozen trips round the globe and counting. And in line with his desire to imagine new potentials for dance music has appeared on varied bills from the Montreux Jazz Festival to Bass Coast, Outlook to Mysteryland.

After two decades in London, Coles relocated to Bristol in 2015. From his new studio on the English west coast he continues his search through production work (the Torchlight EP series on Cosmic Bridge) and aesthetic exercises (the Gates mix series). A keen scholar of all music, he draws from the past and present to imagine the future, never content to remain in the same place for too long.

5 incredible Jungle Footwork fireworks from @Omunit ’s legendary, back from the dead, alias  'Philip D Kick'. Adding Acid, 4/4 UK Hardcore and sound killing Amens to the sound he spawned in 2011, when he made the inspired connection and took classic Jungle anthems and footworked them across the  3 x defining Philip D Kick ‘Footwork Jungle’ EPs.

As label boss @fracture-official says "At the time, this was mind-blowing." And - it could be argued that - despite the alias being immediately retired - Om Unit’s 'Philip D Kick' alias created an entire movement and directed many towards explore this new path/tempo in the hardcore continuum 

So 7 years later it is with great pleasure and genuine excitement @Astrophonica present Philip D Kick’s first original material - 'Pathways' - which also features Teklife/Chicago Footwork originator @dj-spinn-1 for the guest feat. on "Vibe Off"

MAHAKALA01 - Mahakala - The Exodus / Desert Road

ltd 12" >> sold out 
Digital >> https://sq.lnk.to/MAHAKALA01

A. The Exodus
B. Desert Road

Om Unit’s ‘Mahakala’ alias goes into full modern Jungle mode.

Two serious breakbeat-lead expeditions, paired with what we reckon might be a world first, in that the Mahakala logo has been hand-branded into the vinyl! Also includes gold handstamped inner.
 
‘The Exodus’ - A crowd moving Amen tune with edits and atmosphere in equal measure, one for the heads, this one lets loose! 

‘Desert Road’ - The soundtrack styled spacious b-side with a similar tone, but reminiscent of the deeper edge of 90’s ’trip hop’. an ideal intro tune for the beats posse!

Who is Mahakala? 	
———————————————————
According to Shaktisamgama Tantra, the spouse of Kali is extremely frightening. Mahakala has four arms, three eyes and is of the brilliance of 10 million black fires of dissolution, dwells in the midst of eight cremation grounds. He is adorned with eight skulls, seated on five corpses, holds a trident, a drum, a sword and a scythe in his hands. He is adorned with ashes from the cremation ground and surrounded by numbers of loudly shrieking vultures and jackals. Among his side is his consort Kali and they both represent the flow of time. Both Mahakala and Kali/Mahakali represent the ultimate destructive power of Brahmanand they are not bounded by any rules or regulations. They have the power to dissolve even time and space into themselves and exist as Void at the dissolution of the universe. They are responsible for the dissolution of the universe at the end of Kalpa. They are also responsible for annihilating great evils and great daemons when other gods, Devas and even Trimurtis fail to do so. Mahakala and Kali annihilates men, women, children, animals, the world and the entire universe without mercy because they are Kala or Time in the personified form and Time is not bound by anything and Time does not show mercy, nor does it wait for anything or anyone.
