In order to emphasise our good neighbourly (musical) relations, the Flemish Cultural Houses AB and Beursschouwburg will begin working together on a structural basis as of September ’13. The two houses have already collaborated occasionally in the past, remember the co-production for the Æthenor concert (the band encompassing Sunn O)))’s Stephen O’ Malley) or for the latest edition of Brussel Feest whereby Tommigun provided the soundtrack for Marc Didden’s film classic ‘Brussels By Night’.
But now, as of September, these occasional collaborations become structurally embedded. Both houses will organise, more or less monthly, a concert in the Beursschouwburg promoted by both and focusing on exciting and adventurous music. All with only one goal in mind: further enriching Brussels' cultural and musical landscape.

We’re keeping to our word and taking this exciting group up onto the Beursschouwburg roof!

Cut Copy was originally a solo project by Dan Whitford, DJ and graphic designer from Melbourne. In 2003 he amassed a few like-minded souls with whom he created the début album ‘Bright Like Neon Love’.

The important breakthrough came four years later with the second album ‘In Ghost Colours’, released on the Australian Modular label (who also signed Tame Impala, among others). The album peaked at the No. 1 spot on the Australian charts, while success in America and Europe was hot on its heels.

It was the 2011 ‘Zonoscope’ release that really made Cut Copy a household name, principally through the positive vibes of the sixties pop radio hit ‘Where I’m Going’ and the sublime dance track ‘Blink and You’ll Miss a Revolution’.

Their latest release ‘Free Your Mind’ (Ioma Vista/Modular) was presented in an unusual way at the Chicago Pitchfork Music Festival.

A few lucky folk were in the right place at the right time: 120 vinyl records were cut and copied.

CUT COPY, have you got it? Don’t panic, we had to think about it, too. This kind of action illustrates what the band stands for; Cut Copy is a universe in itself, where as much attention is devoted to aesthetic and image as to the music.

Thus, the Danish photographer, Asger Carlsen, was approached for the press photos, his absurd figures are symbolic of “open up your mind”. ‘Free Your Mind’ is inspired by the 1967 and 1988 “Summers of Love”. They want to recreate for you that free feeling with a terrific concert at the Beursschouwburg. Come and frolic in musical love with Cut Copy.
Just put your hands nonchalantly in the air and dance!!!

Afterwards there’s the DJ Disco Naïveté.
