Summary
Om Unit and Jubei operate at the sharp end of drum and bass: producers whose work carries weight far beyond the genre. The visual work had to match that seriousness without becoming self-important. For Om Unit's Metalheadz release, the brief was deliberately open — the only hard constraint was the 12-inch square format. We went through eight directions before one stuck. The final is always obvious in hindsight. The result is artwork that feels physical even on a screen: something that holds up in a shop bin, in a digital storefront and in a collector's hands.
