the interview show: the presets
The Presets are Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes. They met while studying classical music at Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music. They are on Australia’s Modular Records, the same home of hype bands Cut Copy and Wolfmother.
The Presets make 80s-influenced electro with a harder edge, which often gets them compared to Depeche Mode, NIN and even Nitzer Ebb, but they also make the soft dreamy tracks that would make Cut Copy fans swoon.
Strangely enough, their experiences as The Presets wouldn’t change how they would interpret the classics, if they decided to throw in the towel and go back to Beethoven.
