[ELECTRONIC/DANCE] An authority on dance music, Stuart Li, better known in the techno and house world as Basic Soul Unit, has been an integral part of Toronto’s music scene for years. The techno producer has released music on labels that span the globe, from the German label Dolly, run by techno duchess Steffi; the Japenese record label, Mule; the British label NonPlus, run by producer Boddika; the Chicago house music label Still Music; and most recently the Dutch label Dekmantel, through which Li released his latest full length album, Under the Same Sky a few weeks ago.

He’s also veritable globetrotter, recently wraping up a tour that included dates in Boston, Pittsburgh, New York, and in Hungary, Romania, and Italy. On Saturday, December 19 Basic Soul Unit will make a stop in Buffalo for Strange Allure’s first in a series of bi-monthly parties, and he’ll bring along fellow Canadian J-UL—who also happens to be signed to Li’s label, Lab.our. Strange Allure’s Alexander L will take the opening slot, and the Foundry’s NP will handle the visuals.
