Chrome Canyon is the solo project of composer / producer Morgan Z, who was a member of the NY underground cult band Apes & Androids. Since their break-up Morgan has spent his time collecting a wide range of rare analog synths and gear in his Brooklyn studio while writing, recording and producing his brand of original soundtrack sci-fi / space disco. His remixes (for artist such as Phoenix, Passion Pit, Anoraak, and Erika Spring) have been widely circulated and praised, and his remix of Foster the Peoples "Pumped Up Kicks" was in the Top 20 downloads of 2011 for RCRDLBL.com and released as a b-side to the UK single. His first release "Body Music" was put out by the French label On The Fruit. His first full length "Elemental Themes" is due out later this year.

"It's pop, but don't expect it to be popular. Airbird's debut single, Part of the Game, features a vampy, faltering piano riff a la Elton John's Bennie and the Jets, over which Ford hisses a whispery vocal that sounds like Tyler, the Creator doing an impression of Debbie Harry, on Mogadon. We like the way it fades out then back in, in a Beatles-circa-Abbey-Road way. Really peculiar and lovely. It's chart music from an alternate pop universe where Toro Y Moi is No 1 for 19 weeks. Dania Shapes is one minute of luscious locked groove while KONMSTR does strange things to Luther Vandross's 1982 hit Never Too Much. Not so much chopped as cut up and covered in clicks and candy floss. "Body ..." is about the only word left from the original track, ironic as most of the 'human' has been erased from the music. And then you hear the irradiated shimmer-haze of Somewhere in a Field and you realise that, whatever he does, Ford is probably always going to be worth our time." - The Guardian
