DJ | Canyons

Leo and Fred Cherry (Leo Thomson and Ryan Grieve) are Canyons, Sydney-based producers and DJs. Inspired by a diverse choice of sounds from hip-hop to disco, Canyons are the only Australian act to be released on New York’s acclaimed DFA Records label, which represents artists such as LCD Soundsystem and Yacht.

In 2008, Canyons released their first record The Lovemore EP on their own label Hole in the Sky. They have remixed for artists such as Ladyhawke, Tame Impala and Lost Valentinos, and are noted among the most well-known international club DJs.

Listeners to Canyons can expect to hear anything from disco and acid house to soul and psychedelic rock. Their combination of live instruments, drum machines, percussion, analogue effects, vocals and samples creates a sound that is refreshing and unique. www.myspace.com/thecanyonsinfo
