i know i know phoenix have been remixed to death but i thought the album was that good that this remix needed to be posted to show off the skills of a duo from the south of sydney where the talent is not that great bar a few exceptions, polographia have just started to dj in the sydney scene, they dj music from the ever growing nu-disco genre with productions along the same lines drawing influences from canyons, holy ghost and the like.

the boys say they have an ep that is going to be released soon but no mention of when. this remix is down tempo with slow vocals over a rolling synth that you just cant get enough of.

Hatch.

I was recently lucky enough to be able to send through some questions to Canyons who simultaneously signed to Modular and released the ‘Fire Eyes’ EP on DFA, to get the low down on this enigma and what’s happening in the near future.

Hatch: Your Myspace is quite the puzzle can you give our readers the rundown on who you guys are and how Canyons came about?

Canyons: Canyons came about after we started our little record label ‘Hole In The Sky’. We didn’t have a distributor so we sent out cds (to distributors) with a bunch of our tracks with made up names as the artists so it looked like we had more bands and more going on with the label other than just us. Canyons was one of those names, we liked it and decided to run with it.

Hatch: I read that your album will be released in early 2010, could you give us the low down on what’s happening with it are there any guests on board, which seems to be the why things are done these days a.l.a MSTRKRFT, Simian Mobile Disco

Canyons: The record will be out closer to mid 2010, but we’re going to release a 12″ on Modular before the year’s out. We’re recording every day which is great. We’ve got a pretty clear idea of what we’re trying to achieve musically which really helps. We want the album to be a heard as one thing as apposed to 10 tracks put together and called an album because it makes up 60 minutes of music.

Yeah, there will be some friends and guests on it for sure. Tame Impala were hanging out drinking beers today which was fun.

Hatch: Where do you guys find new inspiration for your music?

Canyons: We’re really interested in sounds and the feeling that is created by a particular sound. Trying to get different sounds out of our studio and our equipment generally takes us somewhere new. A lot of our tracks come about by a very simple sound looping that creates a mood that we think is curious or exciting or whatever and go from there.
