Cut Copy is kicking off their North American DJ Tour today, with select live dates confirmed in the fall. Unknown, to many. DJing has always been an essential part of their career. Their tour starts tonight in Dallas, TX.

“We’ve always DJed as long as the band has been around, and club culture is an important part of what Cut Copy is about,” frontman Dan Whitford explains. “From the ‘Fabric Live’ series Cut Copy mixed in 2006, to the underground Melbourne dance compilation ‘Oceans Apart’ that we curated and mixed last year, this has been an important part of our musical makeup. So I guess it’s probably overdue that we’re finally doing proper DJ touring this year.”

Their first-ever proper DJ tour makes stops in LA, SF, Chicago, NYC’s PS1 series and more. Cutters labelmate Knightlife will join Cut Copy’s Dan Whitford & Tim Hoey on the majority of headline shows. In celebration of the tour, Knightlife revealed “Heavy Down” which is available to stream and share below.
