Today's Song of the Day comes from an artist who is right now completely tearing up the bass music scene. Om Unit released his Threads LP last year around Halloween to wide critical acclaim, with most electronica fans believing that it was the best bass music album of 2013. With his very unique percussion, dark melodies, constant hip-hop base beat, and slow-fast rhythms, Om Unit develops a whole new spectrum for bass music that is very dissociating and spacey. His most remix is of Jay 5ive & Kromestar's Wishful Thinking. Om unit frequently collaborates with Jay 5ive and Kromestar because they are also bass music artists with a hip-hop background. In this remix, Om Unit starts off with a solid four-to-the-floor kick drum and slowly adds the synths from the original tune. When the beat drops, he throws in his signature otherworldly percussion and the original tune's low frequency synths. As the tune progresses, Om Unit adds more percussion, flawlessly creating a sense of movement better than most slow-fast tunes. With incredible sound system production and dynamic range mastering, Om Unit has taken the original tune and turned it into a very psychedelic bass journey.
