It’s how, in the early 2010s – under the recently resurrected »Philip D Kick« alias – 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.“ (refugeworldwide.com)
„Jim Coles has never been an easy producer to pin down sonically but if one is able to zoom out on the years of exploration in the potentials of beats, the space of slow-motion house music, the darkest corners of drum & bass & the hardcore continuum, or the frenzy of footwork patterns and now his more mature take on acid, dub, breaks and techno one can see there is a lineage of very personal takes on various musical tropes fashioned from experience, experimentation, and excitement.“ (rinse.fm)
„Jim Cole aka Om Unit kann die Roland TB-303 einfach nicht weglegen. Der analoge Bassline-Syntesizer hat inzwischen Kultstatus erreicht und ist vor allem durch seine geilen Acid Sounds bekannt, die in vielen Techno und Raveproduktionen der 90er Jahre zu hören sind… Begleitet werden die Produktionen durch stabile Sub Basslines und auch die Dub Effekte gehen sehr gut rein und reißen die Hörer tiefer in den Strudel des Acid Dubs.“ (https://basscomesaveme.de/)
