Solitary Dancer are a shadowy Montreal-based electronic production duo creating expansive, immersive, and transportive music. They just released their largest statement to date with SDIII on March 20th via their own imprint, Private Possessions. The 17-track album was also released as a super-limited 6×12” vinyl compilation featuring graphic design by the legendary musician/artist Trevor Jackson.
For their supremely hypnotic and nocturnal-minded guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World, Solitary Dancer have reimagined the show's theme as a nighttime cruise and given it the apt working title of “Midnight (Drive) In A Perfect World.” With a cerebral mix of underground gems that touch upon trip-hop, downtempo, ambient, and minimal techno, Solitary Dancer cast a mesmerizing spell over their nearly hour-long journey
