DRM022: BASIC SOUL UNIT

DRM 022: BASIC SOUL UNIT .... Toronto, Canada.

We return this week with another top notch exclusive mix for our Deeply Rooted Mixtape Series, an attempt by us to gather together exclusive mixes by some of the worlds most talented producers and DJs, along with a number of locals who we personally think are the bee's knees.  If you check out the DRM Page you can see that so far we have been doing a decent job collecting exclusives from all over the globe, having amassed an impressive number of mixes from some of the worlds hottest up and coming producers and selectors.

This week is a special one for us here at the Deep North, because we have acquired an exclusive mix from one of Canada's most talented producers, a man who has been causing a buzz in Europe for quite some time now, yet remains largely unknown by many of his countrymen.  Stuart Li - - better known as producer Basic Soul Unit - - keeps a low profile here in Toronto, and the hyper-talented producer of tech house, deep house, techno and electronica likes to keep it that way.  The family man recently came back from a tour in the EU, and has stated that the plans for his return in 2012 are already well underway.  This is not suprising when one takes a quick look at the sheer number of quality releases he has had on well respected labels such as New Kanada, Thoughtless, Osgut Ton, Defected, Mule, Versatile and Creme Organization, to name but a few.  His most recent release, Deep Diving, just came out on Berlin-based label New Kanada and has 4 wicked originals on it.  This one is definitely worth a look - - and a purchase, if you ask me.  We posted some of his work earlier this year too, which you can check out here and grab at lower quality (128kbps) for those long rides to work or school.

We are super stoked on this hour-long mix from a local hero and fellow musician, and are honoured to have him headlining out next Late & Deep (#7) event this month alongside some other killer locals who have been making waves lately: Jamie Kidd (of Metalogic) and the Deep North's own Phantom Ambulance (Max the Fax and Max Lucas).

Here are a few tunes by BSU, which we snapped up from his Soundcloud page, check them out before you get into his awesome DRM mix.
