As we head down into the basement of 170 Russell, that moustachioed Pizza Guy (also known as Touch Sensitive) is working the floor with his trademark, chugging disco-house. Complementing what is essentially a laptop set with live bass, Touch Sensitive bounces about the stage with a cheesy grin on his face looking very happy with himself. Across his short, 45-minute live set, Touch Sensitive doesn't let his disco-house get too camp on us. He concentrates instead on producing solid, funky vibes that help get this evening's dance party off to a fine start.

As Cut Copy take to the stage, fans let all their excitement out with a collective gasp of astonishment that breaks into enthusiastic shouts of encouragement with hands waving madly in the air. Expectation runs high as the quartet prepare to unfurl the feel-good, acid-house machinations of their latest album. “This house is mine,” asserts Dan Whitford as We Are Explorers cranks up under a show of blinding, coloured lights. The live versions to which we are treated tonight introduce most of Cut Copy's songs into the squarely, four-on-the-floor, feel-good bounce of house music. Take Me Over speaks irresistibly to the hips and feet but it is merely a prelude for the ecstatic summer of lovin' highs of Free Your Mind, which unleashes complete mayhem among the crowd. Whether they are working from a particularly New Order-esque electro pop template or aping an Andy Weatherall remix of Primal Scream, Cut Copy's influences have always been rather obvious but come at us with irresistibly infectious hooks and beats.

So Haunted has the crowd grooving but there's plenty of love in the room when they let rip with Hearts On Fire. There isn't much talk in between songs, but eventually Whitford acknowledges that the band spend too much time overseas. He is obviously thrilled to be playing to an eager hometown crowd and Meet Me In A House Of Love feels entirely appropriate at this point. Coming on like a massive hit of serotonin, Lights & Music inspires no less than seven dudes to simultaneously mount and ride their mates' shoulders for most of the song. Encoring with Walking In The Sky and Need You Now, these tunes provide the sweetest comedown. Cut Copy well and truly free our minds with their music, at least for the rest of the weekend.
