We kick off the show this week in Australia with Canyons and their gorgeous minimal techno featuring more than a hint of blissed out nineties saxaphone action. Other destinations in GS024 are Mexico, Florida and France (via India) thanks to the wonderful Jalebee Cartel's remix of Solead's track, 'So What.' We also make a long overdue return to the land of beautiful people, Denmark, and our favourite Copenhagen duo, Kenton Slash Demon. They have a new EP coming out and have kindly given us the title track 'Sun' to play which we hope you agree is pretty immense.

Canyons have a picture of a lazy seal on their Myspace, so we would have liked them even if their music was rubbish. Luckily, it's quite the opposite. |

When we spoke to Silas from Kenton Slash Demon he had just been "playing the hell out of the new Calvin Harris song". He really likes long walks and always wanted to be a MC. |

Hailing from New Dehli, Jalebee Cartel has challenged the notion that dance music is a Western domain by single-handedly putting India on the international EDM map and their high-quality production has helped gain them a growing fanbase. |

A Scissors deals with trouble sleeping by pretending he's homeless. "The process of thought is that if I imagine this while I'm wrapped up warm and in bed," he says, "I'll think that, 'hey, I'm doing alright tonight.'" |

Optivion (US) - 'Three Wolves, One Spear'
|
|
|
Optivion was once healed by a South American Shaman, saw a UFO after seeing Dead Can Dance in concert and used to lead a double life. "As a starving artist in Boston, I decided to busk as a Charlie Chaplin performer in Harvard Square. Each morning, I would secretly pack my costume into a messenger bag and then covertly change in a garage in. I would perform Chaplin's signature waddle and cane wiggle without anyone I knew being the wiser. "
Quite.
