Solitary Dancer 'Desire & Apathy' (Graded)
Midland’s exceptional Graded label is an outlet for house and disco of the highest calibre, but its fourth release is staggered, Detroit-styled electro. The title track of the debut EP from Montreal-based Solitary Dancer is a wriggling cut that comes in at a mean 130bpm pace. The eerie synths float in the background with an ominous melancholy while bass notes stab and cymbals flutter. B-side ‘Paradise Found’ follows a similar vein but ramps up the dread, and the two together combine to make one fantastic EP.
