It was not until 2009 that the Om Unit alias came about with his debut release on a compilation for Fabric entitled *encoder*, which was swiftly followed by a white-label remix of [Joker](/source/Joker_(British_musician))'s "Digidesign" and an EP called *The Corridor EP* on [Plastician](/source/Plastician)'s label Terrorhythm. In 2011 he found a more permanent home, with the record label Civil Music taking up release and management duties, releasing three EPs namely, *The Timps*, *Transport* and *Aeolian*, followed by an album *Threads*. During this time he worked on a one-off EP with Machinedrum entitled 'Reworkz' under the alias 'dream continuum' for Planet Mu. and arguably was one of the first people to fuse the style of Chicago footwork with classic jungle music under the alias 'Philip D Kick'.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] In parallel to these ventures, Om Unit started his own record label Cosmic Bridge in 2011 which has since released music from [Kromestar](/source/Kromestar), DJ Madd, [Boxcutter](/source/Boxcutter_(musician)), [TMSV](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=TMSV&action=edit&redlink=1), [Graphs](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Graphs_(musician)&action=edit&redlink=1), [Danny Scrilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danny_Scrilla&action=edit&redlink=1), J(ay) A.D. [Neuropol](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neuropol&action=edit&redlink=1), [Moresounds](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Moresounds&action=edit&redlink=1) and [J:Kenzo](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J:Kenzo&action=edit&redlink=1) as well as himself with his own 'Torchlight' series of EP's and his series of 'Cosmology' compilations featuring exclusive tracks and remixes from artists from the label. Following on from the exploration of his Jungle roots with projects like Philip D Kick, Om Unit set about working with seminal Drum N Bass label [Metalheadz](/source/Metalheadz) and releasing one EP and a full-length LP in 2014 entitled *Inversions* which came about through a creative relationship with [Goldie](/source/Goldie), who allowed him access to original DAT tapes containing samples from his personal archive. Alongside this he has also released three EPs with fellow Bristolian [Sam Binga](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sam_Binga&action=edit&redlink=1), the first of which was released on [DBridge](/source/DBridge)'s label Exit Records. in 2016 he was involved with a group project for Exit under the alias "Richie Brains", with an LP of works from himself, Sam Binga, [Alix Perez](/source/Alix_Perez), [Chimpo](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chimpo&action=edit&redlink=1), Fixate, Fracture, and Stray who collaborated over a series of sessions to put together a collection of works that became the full album. ## Discography This section may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.
