Cut Copy DJs: Party Preview
Cut Copy is one of those bands that does one thing, and it does it very well. The four-man Australian act has been at it since the early 2000s, tweaking and refining its simple-but-effective formula, in which it mines the electronic music of yesteryear (specifically disco — Italo and otherwise — and new wave-styled synthpop) and reshapes it into effortlessly catchy dance-pop. This weekend, two of the bandmembers, Dan Whitford and Tim Hoey, descend upon Mezzanine for a Cut Copy DJ set, in which you can expect them to rinse out their influences to full dancefloor effect. Expect a good deal of disco (both current and classic), some warm, sunny house music, and hopefully some gloriously cheesy '80s selections. On support duty are
Knightlife, Cut Copy's labelmate from Melbourne; local promoter
Jeffrey Paradise; and
Cooper Saver, a young DJ and promoter whose notoriety has risen alongside that of his L.A.-based party and tape label, Far Away.
