The first Om Unit album on Coles' own Cosmic Bridge label, 'Self' offers new forms amid familiar touches. Stripping away what people might expect, Coles deconstructed and reimagined his work so far as a challenge to himself and, in turn, to his fans. The album opens with 'Cold Love' and 'Passages', two minimalist tracks that deconstruct the tropes Om Unit has become best known for and teases the listener with games of tension and release. The album ends with 'Tahatan', the Sioux word for hawk and - via its rhythmic lurch, bird samples, and layering - an invocation of key steps in Om Unit's journey to date. As Coles admits 'Self' is not an obvious album, but then again he has never been an obvious producer.

Self is his third and most explorative album so far as he guides and glides us through powerful atmospheres, dynamics and textures from palpitating ambient such as the opener "Cold Love" and harmonic "Passages" and warped light fractures of "Fieldofdreams" to neoclassical motifs on rolling tracks such as "Out Of The Shadows"

The album-equivalent unit is a measurement unit in music industry to define the consumption of music that equals the purchase of one album copy. This consumption includes streaming and song downloads in addition to traditional album sales. The album-equivalent unit was introduced in the mid-2010s as an answer to the drop of album sales in the 21st century.

Om Unit - Self In 2013, in conversation with Plastician, Jim Coles discussed his interest in genre fringes and hybrid styles. I tend to connect more with the people that surf those edges and come out with something that maybe feeds onto something else," he said. I think the best artists keep evolving. And I think the best art also inspires other people to do that as well. Coles could be describing himself here. In the early to mid-'00s, he was making hip-hop, as 2Tall, and competing in DMC championships
