Blurb:

Om Unit Presents Cosmology. 9 tracks showcasing a new wave of beat production in the realm of Cosmic Bridge
& label head Om Unit’s signature “slow/fast” sound.

Curated by Om Unit for his Cosmic Bridge imprint the compilation features tracks from the first wave of Cosmic
Bridge artists and includes 3 collaborations with label head Om Unit.

In 2 short years Cosmic Bridge has released material from Om Unit, Kromestar and Boxcutter and has given us
Moresounds, EAN and Danny Scrilla; who after making their debuts for the label have gone on to make waves.

Unifying the Cosmic Bridge sound the compilation features grime and dubstep kingpin Kromestar’s blend of deep
dubstep romance and road­raw sci­fi boogie, Moresound’s digi­dub and soundsystem modulations, former
Various Production lynchpin EAN’s rapidfire darkstyles and deft footwork jungle chops, Boxcutter’s lush fusions of
Footwork and Electronica, Danny Scrilla’s forays into the unnamed airspace between dreadnought dub, halftime
footwork & O.G ’06 Dubstep and two appearances from Keysound’s experimentalist 140bpm updater Epoch.

Highlights include a VIP version on Danny’s Scrilla legendary ‘X’, Danny’s  collab with Om Unit on ‘Gentrification’
featuring the unwitting Giles from Foxton’s Estate agency in Brixton plus Om Unit’s jungle referencing collab with
Moresounds, the long waited release of Kromestar’s highly sought dub ‘V7STX’ and Epoch’s revisiting of Om Unit &
Danny Scrilla’s ‘Hunch’.

Om Unit’s A&R sensibilities and his focus in pushing boundaries show in Cosmology’s curation. Representative
the label’s catalogue, the diversity of styles on show across these nine tracks is unified by the talent of the
producers involved.
