Cut Copy Presents 'Oceans Apart' Album and Documentary Film, Out Now
By: Danielle DeSisto Dec. 19, 2014
With accolades ranging from FADER to Resident Advisor and beyond, global Melbourne ambassadors Cut Copy recently released Cut Copy presents: Oceans Apart via the band's own dance imprint, Cutters Records. A 19-track continuous DJ-mixed snapshot of new & exclusive music from their hometown's thriving underground dance music scene & club culture, Cut Copy presents: Oceans Apart was mixed by the band themselves and is also available as two vinyl EPs of compilation highlights.
Both a local scene document, which is increasingly rare in this global age, and a bumping 80-minute NON-STOP dance party, Cut Copy presents: Oceans Apart is the product of the band's observations of its hometown, where it became undeniably apparent that this fertile community was mushrooming. It 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. Cut Copy presents: Oceans Apart is streaming in full HERE and the band released a 12-minute documentary directed by Thomas Pollard, serving as a visual supplement to the compilation.Videos
