After Basics: This doesn't crack the puzzle, but it's a little productive.

 UR[(3=9)r7c79] - (9=5)r7c4 - (5=8)r9c4 - (8=1)r9c8 - (1=3)r9c5  =>  r7c5,r9c7<>3

I found several steps that had limited impact including the AUR noted by Danny, but then I hit a winner; long but it did the dirty deed...........

anp(17=4)r78c1-als(4=13)r9c35-(1=8)r9c8-(8=5)r9c4-(5=9)r7c4-r7c79=r8c9-(9=6=8=1)r416c9; r6c1<>1

I went down a long twisty route with this one. Looked like lots of DPs in the grid to me and eventually I found this one-stepper...
Code:
BUG-Lite(68-69-38-39)r1457c79 ; r5c9<>3
(1)r5c9
||
(3)r8c9
||
(3)r9c7 - (3=1)r9c5 - (1=8)r5c5 - (8=3)r5c7
||
(9)r8c9 - (3)r8c9=(3-2)r8c3=r8c6 - (2=1)r4c6 - (1=8)r5c5 - (8=3)r5c7
Then I realised I was being thick! As the second and fourth streams are conjugates this m-wing-like AIC does the same job...
Code:
(3=8)r5c6-(8=1)r5c5-(1=2)r4c6 - r8c6=(2-3)r8c3=r8c9 ; r5c9<>3
