This is sweeet. It instantly reminds me of good times, even from the first listen.

You Gotta Love Acid /Teaser/

It's time for a new act to make their debut on Graded and Solitary Dancer is the Montreal producer you're going to want to make yourself acquainted with. The 'Desire & Apathy' EP has received a hefty amount of support across the board, with selectors like Ben UFO, Roman Flügel and Axel Boman drawing for it in their sets.

We present the title-track now as a premiere and if you're a fan of staggered, broken beat electro that's steeped in nostalgia then you're really going to dig this. Take a hint of Drexciya and Dopplereffekt and add in some serene synths and bellowing, low-end bass stabs and you've got Solitary Dancer's first ever offering.

We Live As One

Following their eponymously titled 2016 arrival on Midland's Graded imprint, as well as a recent follow-up on Dark Entries, @Solitary-Dancer return to the label on which they made their debut. Once again, this three-track 12” blends electro, ambient, and acid to superb, undeniably modern effect. 

With a running time of nearly 12-minutes, the title track 'Transmitting To Heaven' is an ambitiously sweeping cut that subtly moves through its various shades, from electro and acid, to strobe-lit 90s rave.

The B-side kicks off with 'Birth of Saturn', built around an arpeggiating synth that shifts and morphs throughout the track as the intensity ascends. The 12” closes off with 'At The End Of The Corridor Of Love, A Loss', a slow burning ambient piece that is as sombre as it is cinematic.
