Ocean

A 3 track ambient house single (18m 43s) — released May 30th 2005 on LEFT OF THE DIAL

You are holding the T.P. of the first ever Left of the Dial release, a sub-label of Do Right Music covering the Leftfield/Electronic side of Alternative Dance Music, you know how generic 'Alternative Dance Music' can be! Calling all journalists & tastemakers, please help us to come up with a new term! To launch the label, 001 features the up-n?-coming Toronto producer Basic Soul Unit aka DJ Stuart. Jazz not Jazz, nor techno...call it whatever you want, it's all Left of the Dial to us. Basic Soul Unit (Stuart Li) has been involved in the Toronto Club Scene promoting and DJing several independent nights of various genres. He grew up in Toronto where the multi-cultural nature of the city exposed him to the sounds of dance music, from Hip Hop, Techno, to Jazz, Funk, Latin and Disco. Many of BSU's teenage years were spent in after-hours parties during the prime of Toronto House music scene in the early 90's. Naturally, House music has always had a special place in his heart. Ocean EP showcases the 'signature' sound of Basic Soul Unit... reminiscing the rawness and immediacy of the early Chicago House and Detroit Techno sounds and let all his other influences filter in. This is music made in the now with the elements of today's sounds rather than ode to back in the dayz. After the unexpected and great international response to the first two BSU releases on Do Right Music & Iwanai, BSU is set to prepare a slew of new releases for 2005. The recently released 'Back Then Now' (Iwanai) track was already being banged out on dance floors by the likes of Jazzanova, Rainer Truby, Chateau Flight, Soul Patrol and Kyoto Jazz Massive. Upcoming are fresh releases for Versatile, and a work-in-progress Sonar Kollektiv 12... But for now, check out this Oceans EP, and tell your friends you played it first!'
