Solitary Dancer

What a year Midland has had. 'Final Credits' has been the stand-out track of the last 12 months and every notable DJ has brought crowds to their knees with its sumptuous disco stylings.

If it's been a big year for him then it's been equally good for his label Graded and its sub-label Re-Graded. 'Final Credits' dropped via the latter and Midland released the incredible 'Blush' on the main imprint.

Now 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.

Expect to see more of the Solitary Dancer in the coming months, god knows we'll be keeping our eyes and ears open.

Desire & Apathy will be released via Midland's label Graded on September 30
