"Love is All We Share" is the first track released by Australian electronic group Cut Copy since 2017. In a press release, band member Dan Whitford said the track was made, “using only a handful of sounds, hoping to create an intimate and unworldly atmosphere.”
Dan Whitford of Cut Copy stated about this new single from the Australian band: “It was written a year ago about the anxieties of imagined future times, as technology becomes more all-consuming. But in light of recent events the song took on an eerie significance. Now, with our immediate future uncertain and people the world over self-isolating, ‘love’ more than ever, feels like one of the best things we can share.”

Kenny Dixon, Jr., better known as deep-house hero Moodymann, whose career spans 25-plus years and an influence that can’t be overstated. Dixon was sitting in a van outside his own building in Detroit when someone reported “suspicious behavior” and the cops rolled up with their chaos. He made it out alive. Echoes of the conflict are all over his new album.
Moodymann first sold his last album, 2019’s Sinner, at a barbecue he held during Detroit’s Movement festival. And although Movement is cancelled (and going virtual) thanks to the pandemic, Moodymann is out here selling a new album anyway.
