From the press release: It’s with an overwhelming sense of excitement and delight that we would like to propose a toast and introduce you to the freshest and funkiest dogs in the Modular pound, the producers of the swampiest fantasy house music from Australia’s wild west, Canyons.
Canyons equal two DJ’s/producers Leo Holiday and Ryan Sea-mist, Perth transplants who’ve been residing a rearranging dance floors in Sydney for a shade over 12 months.
Drawing influences from the far corners of planet Earth and beyond, Canyons’ music strikes a balance between sand dunes and icebergs, psych and acid house, volcanos and valleys, pop and disco, fiction and fact.
Not ones to claim genres or adhere to them, the Canyons approach to writing music is one of intuition and feel. Dancing is encouraged, and quiet listening works just as well.
Holiday and Sea-mist have been producing their distinctly boundary-less modern cacophony for a couple of years now, in that time attracting interest from all four corners of this rock from fans of eclectic, irreverent dance music.
Canyons run their own label Hole in the Sky, used simply to put out music they believe should be heard. Their debut album is in the making and will be released on Modular Recordings in the near future, preceded by a single release before 2009 is out.
With the odd remix in the pipelines and a 12” single release due out this July on DFA, Canyons are also working towards piecing a full live band together to take their musical healing on the road and to the people.
