Another band on Modular, The Presets are a duo from Australia and right now they're touring with The Rapture stateside for some crazy ass live shows. I should know, I just saw them last weekend. Live drums, a handful of synthesizers, a drum machine, and loads of vocal effects all collide into a techno-rock extravaganza.The live show totally blew the studio song versions away, but that's just my opinion. Good stuff to headbang to and dance your ass off to overall.
If you saw The Presets recently and bought a shirt, you'd have gotten a free cd, which so happens to be the new remix cd, Resets, that's already been available for purchase online. Although it's in the vain of Death From Above 1979's Romance Bloody Romance in the sense that it's the same 3-4 songs remixed by different artists, The Presets are definitely more remixable. The arsenal of remixers are also pretty exciting: Van She, Juan Maclean, Digitalism, Simian Mobile Disco, etc.
The remix that caught my attention was one for "Down Down Down" done by labelmates Bumblebeez 81, which has this weird hip-hop/techno vibe that isn't necessarily that at all, but I like it. I like Bumblebeez 81, and I like The Presets. Please, you listen:
