There’s been much speculation as to how this unprecedented wave came about. Is the fluoride in the city’s water supply having positive side effects? Is it the mediocre Melbourne weather that’s either keeping people on the dancefloor or in house arrest, tirelessly tinkering in the studio? Is it the abundance of late night venues or the long standing presence of two influential community radio stations? Or does it all come down to the appreciative audience that are just as critical as the creators? All we do know is that this epidemic can’t be stopped and needs to be celebrated.
Cut Copy presents: Oceans Apart threads together a cross-section of the different party crews, label rosters & ambitious lone rangers that have been catalysts in making Melbourne vibrant & happening week in, week out- all in the format of a continuous dance mix, which is what the music was made for. In celebration of this vibrant culture, Cut Copy will launch the compilation on day two of Melbourne Music Week (Sat Nov 15th). The night will showcase local talent from the release, carefully curated by Cut Copy themselves, featuring the likes of Andras & Oscar, Roland Tings, No Zu and World’s End Press.
