In addition to having a great moniker, Philip D Kick (aka Jim Cole/Om Unit) has some great ideas. This is purported to be "footwork jungle" which is cute, but just gives you two pigeonholes and he doesn't fit in either. Which makes this release it's own odd thing: https://omunit.bandcamp.com/album/pathways From the acid squiggles of "In Formation" to the Detroit chord memory samples that open Work this, this is bricolage of the first order, mashing up 90s D&B, Footwork, and unabashadly ravey sounds into something catchy and fun. If you care about such things, the production on this release is impeccable. Sometimes it takes an old head with decades behind the mixer to really kill you with the sonic perfection. And "Drown" is a perfect Bukem-esque roller complete with bong rips.
