RA.489 Basic Soul Unit – Techno from Toronto

Stuart Li‘s first album came out on Still Music, a Chicago label where sumptuous deep house thrives. His second album, meanwhile, is coming through Dekmantel, the Dutch label that‘s known for releasing, among others things, left-leaning techno. This tells you plenty about the way the Toronto artist straddles styles. Aside from those two (and his own Lab.our imprint), Li has jumped from big-deal label to big-deal label, including Mule, Ostgut Ton, NonPlus and Crème Organization, which is reflected in the diversity of his output.
