A new twelve inch crafted in the Toronto studio of Stuart Li is always going to be welcome at the Juno offices, however there is added intrigue in the Northern Heights EP, his debut release for the Other Heights imprint as it also features the inaugural remix efforts of Unbroken Dub. Both original tracks are refined examples of Basic Soul Unit's trade with lead track "Come On" driven by typically raw and off kilter programming and sounds. "Growing Pains" weaves its way intoxicatingly from the delicate beginnings of soft analogue touches over rough bass hewn stop-start rhythms into something much more intricate before starting again midway through. Remix wise, the young Siberian excels in retaining key elements of both tracks but flushing the arrangements with his own signature frosted and dubby sounds.
