Cut Copy

Cut Copy’s bassist channels the 70s with new disco single..

The Aus' dance legends make a short film doco to go with their new compilation.. Global Melbourne dance music ambassadors Cut Copy recently released Cut Copy Presents: Oceans Apart, digitally and on vinyl via the band’s own dance imprint, Cutters Records. The 19-track continuous DJ-mixed provides a snapshot of new and exclusive music from their hometown’s thriving underground dance music scene and club culture. Not ones to rest on their laurels, they've now unleashed the mix CD's accompanying documentary, providing a behind the scenes look at how compilation came to be. The 12-minute film offers a rare, fascinating glimpse into the Melbourne music scene. Following its premiere with The FADER, you can now stream it online, below: "…'Oceans Apart' aims to allow their listeners to hear a side of Australia that is as unexpected and expansive as the landscape itself." – DJ Mag  "It's impeccably mixed metaphysical disco, existential house and healing music [...] moving freely to this advent

Cut Copy are taking you deep into Melbourne's dance scene.. As we continue to lose Cut Copy to their ever-growing international audience (this is not meant in a bad way at all!) the legendary Aussie dance act are looking back home for a special release due November 11, called Oceans Apart. The 19-track, mixed CD offers a snapshot of their hometown scene with a heap of new and exclusive tunes from Melbourne's bubbling dance community. Mixed by Cut Copy themselves, it's a clear passion project for frontman Dan Whitford: "We’ve always found deep inspiration in the music of our home city. It’s where Cut Copy started, as just one band in a potent community of unique and likeminded artists. But it also continues to inspire and surprise us, with great new music constantly bubbling to the surface." You can stream one of the tracks from it - No Zu's Raw Vis Vision - below, and check the tracklist after that. TRACKLIST: 1. Knightlife - Don't Stop 2. Andras & Oscar- Music Is My Life 3. Michael O

Cut Copy well and truly free our minds with their music, at least for the rest of the weekend. 

Dan Whitford's still having a damn good time on the Cut Copy train.. A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of chatting to Cut Copy's Dan Whitford while the group were setting up for a show in Manchester. Being a massive Cut Copy fanboy, I was pretty stoked to finally chat to him (after interviewing everyone else in the group probably twice each), and was fairly dismayed when the first five minutes of our chat became basically indecipherable thanks to a dodgy connection. Fortunately we reconnected and I got some quality time in with a dude who's probably the most responsible for my descent into dance and club music. They're playing a few east coast shows next week, and we've got a DOUBLE PASS to giveaway for the Brisbane show - just email info@pilerats.com with CUT COPY in the subject header. [After re-establishing connection] I’ll go back to my last question, you guys seem like you’re almost touring overseas more than here, was that a conscious effort on your behalf around Zonoscop
