Yoko Ono: At 77, still cooler than all of us! Following recent club mixes of her 1980 song "Give Me Something"–one of which we premiered back in April–the avant-garde high priestess is now sorting a collection of dubs, which are basically just mellower, extended versions of their predecessors. Richard Morel's is the kind of sweeping disco-house you'd imagine emanating from a Miami convertible–maybe a weird place to be hearing Yoko Ono, but also a situation we wouldn't be averse to experiencing. It's free below, and if you're in need of further uplift, take a look at Yoko's never dull Twitter.

Canyons equal two DJs/producers Leo Holiday and Ryan Sea-mist, Perth transplants whove been residing and rearranging dancefloors 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.
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 and fans of eclectic, irreverent dance music. Canyons also 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.
In the meantime, check out Canyons new 12 single on DFA called Fire Eyes/Dancing on Silk which is out August 11 - insanity!!
