It was always going to be a special night when you put The Presets in amongst a couple thousand of hometown fans in one of Sydney’s most beloved venues – the Enmore Theatre. Bringing HI VIZ to life over the weekend, The Presets were supported by Roland Tings and Kult Kyss. Photos by Gwen Lee.

Live Review: The Presets harness massive energy at hometown show at the Enmore Theatre

June 25, 2018 / Dylan Marshall

Irrespective of their time away from the musical spotlight, The Presets will always have a place in the hearts of the Australian dance music community.

Album Review: The Presets – Hi Viz (2018 LP)

June 1, 2018 / Sosefina Fuamoli

As I write this, the thudding beats of “Until The Dark” – the album closer for The Presets‘ new record Hi Viz – are still ringing out in my head. Over the course of almost seven minutes, Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes explore heavy, pulsating electronic territory that pulls each thread of the album together flawlessly. Of course, there was much…

Music Video of the Day: The Presets “14U + 14ME” (2018)

February 9, 2018 / Jessica McSweeney

Aussie rave kings The Presets have followed their massive comeback single “Do What You Want” with new track “14U + 14ME”, a pumping dance tune with The Presets’ signature craziness. The track opens with a slow build of manipulated vocals and rising synths, but doesn’t take long to get to the good stuff: it’s The…

August 1, 2017 / Sosefina Fuamoli

This morning, THIS THAT unveiled its line up for 2017 – the festival’s third edition. It’s a strong one for the east coast event to pull out of the bag, with a strong charge of Australian and international music being led by the likes of The Presets, Alison Wonderland and Thundamentals. It seems like a safe line up in…
