Description
The industrial/ambient 12-inch album “Y-3004,” created by the Montreal duo for the Y-3 runway show celebrating the partnership with Mercedes-AMG
Solitary Dancer is a Montreal-based duo that has provided the music for Y-3 runway shows with their distinctive sound, which incorporates industrial and ambient elements.
This limited-edition vinyl contains the score created for the collection that marked the sportswear label’s foray into the world of motorsport and the announcement of its partnership with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team.
The sound draws inspiration from the early era of automotive industrialization, exploring unique repetitive sounds and mechanical rhythms produced by factories of that time. In addition to repetitive expressions that make use of the vast spatial potential of the Palais d’Iéna, this limited-edition vinyl boasts a composition of extreme tension and restraint, from hypnotic low-end pulsations to dazzlingly shimmering metallic delays and a finale that lands firmly in techno territory.

On Y-3004, Solitary Dancer wade into the depths of their sonic palette for Y-3’s Fall/Winter 2026 Presentation— an occasion marked by the sportswear label’s turn into the world of motorsport, unveiling a partnership with Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team.
Dark, moody, and measured, the score reflects on the early era of automotive industrialization. Inspired by the factories which captured the sounds of nascent processes operating at their own rhythm, the vast physical potential of the Palais d’Iéna allowed the space to further explore such repetition. The composition proved a masterful exercise in tension & restraint— ascending from hypnotic, low-end pulsations to brightly shimmering, metallic delays and a decidedly techno finale.
