Over the years Jim Coles has turned his hand to a fair few different
styles and made them his own. These days, most know his Om Unit alias as
a significant force in fresh developments within D&B (recently
found larking about with Alix Perez, Binga and more in the Richie Brains
project on Exit Records), but it's not always been that way. From
initial moves in the dubstep world via Terrorhythm through to
shimmering, playful electro-leaning business on Civil Music, he's graced
plenty of high profile labels with his many-sided musical dice and come
up trumps. A personal favourite moment for us came in the shape of the
All City 7" Lavender / Lightgrids in 2010, which matched Jim's knack for
rich and detailed production to a slower, more contemplative groove.
This new release for Idle Hands comes from that era, a trio of secret
weapons sat waiting for the opportune moment to step out into the world.
With the warmer months upon us, it feels like the perfect time to let a
track like "Friend Of The Day" roll out in a heavy-lidded haze of
sun-kissed, ivory-tinkled finery. This being Om Unit, of course there
are different shades on offer here as well. "Basement Superman" plumbs
aqueous depths with its appropriation of dub techno tropes in a
slow-stepping, meditative framework. "What It Is" too revels in
introspection, a laconic bassline loping jauntily against the feathery
beat in a succinct encapsulation of Bristolian laissez-faire. Jim's
current exploits are reaching ever more interesting pastures, and
there's an increasing recognition of his past achievements too (check
the Kutmah-curated Lost Stories collection of unreleased 2tall bits from
his archives), so it's a pleasure to add to the movement and support
some truly special gems from a long time friend of the shop.
