Jim Coles once again turns the tide towards a new horizon and
travels further into the echo chamber. Leading on from the much-
lauded æSecret LocationÆ mini-album with Seekersinternational,
one-offs such as æOpen Palms dubÆ (Dub Stuy) and other teasings,
æAcid Dub StudiesÆ is the fully-fledged result of the merging of
the calligraphic expression of the 303 Acid bassline with the
stern sway of Dub Reggae and the hazier edges of Dub Techno and
Ambient music.
For those who have been paying close attention, this project will
come as a welcome return to the vulnerability and playfulness of
early Om Unit records such as his sub-radar single from 2010
æLightgrids/LavenderÆ (All City Records) or the unearthed chugging
ambience of æFriend of DayÆ (Idle Hands) and indeed in some sense
draws from similar wellsprings as moments on 2013Æs Bass classic
æThreadsÆ.
Whilst being perhaps an æinterim projectÆ this is still a vital
and important expression of exploration and playfulness. A study
in the true sense and borne out of a subtle but pervasive
frustration with the rigidity found in musical words he has up to
now been cohabiting, Acid Dub Studies comes from the pressing need
to break with perceived expectation and to explore an honest and
natural space away from the genre labels and tags that had been
often lazily applied to his sizeable catalogue of music.
With no desire to reinvent the wheel, rather to paint pictures in
an honest framework, the LP was crafted using a medley of classic
analogue mixing techniques inspired as much by the adventurous
dubbing of Adrian Sherwood as by the inward-delving haze of Scott
MonteithÆs Deadbeat project. Created during a period of lonely
introspective walks through his home town of Bristol, the cover
art is a photograph of some of the iron kerbstones that are found
almost exclusively in the characterful and hardy city which were
installed in the late 1800Æs to protect pavements from cart
wheels. Something about the permanence of those iron slabs and
cobblestones inspired a sense of comfort and determination.
Acid Dub Studies is due for release as yet another self-released
label-free project leading on from recent EP titles æVioletÆ and
æSubmergedÆ both of which hinted at some of the shapes found in
this full length album.
Once again Jim has shown a rare convincing adaptability that few
electronic artists can embody. Another step on the journey of
personal and creative curiosity that fans are sure to appreciate.
