The Canyons DJ

I’m not a big one for disco, but a new appreciation for spangled pants emerged when The Canyons hit my playlist. Maybe the pants are overstating it, but ‘Leo Frostwave’ and ‘Fred Cherry’s’ style mashes early house with hip hop, a sprinkling of soul and disco beats. They play live this Good God. Swap spangled pants for white trousers or blue jeans. – NS
