Win our top 31 albums of 2012 ! Read the original review . This was the year for Australia's favorite synth-pop duo, The Presets : after four long years in hibernation, the Sydneysiders finally returned with their third full-length, Pacifica and embarked on a nationwide tour of Australia headlining the country's traveling festival, Parklife , where they absolutely killed their live shows . Their new album saw a new fusion of indie synth pop and conventional [...]
THE PRESETS are one of the main reasons why I started listening to electronic music. What feels like a lifetime ago, back in July 2006 at Splendour In The Grass in Byron Bay, was the first time I saw the duo perform live. I was 19 years old and their debut album 'Beams' had been on the shelves for just under a year. I'll always remember being the one responsible for forming a large circle of people dancing ludicrously to 'I Go Hard, I Go Home', near the back of the [...]
Known for their unique brand of techno/dance music, Sydney's The Presets just released their third full length, Pacifica , via Modular Recordings - a record full of electronica gems. The duo is set to headline Australia's touring Parklife Festival , whose Sydney date we'll be covering, followed by a full-fledged North American tour supported by YACHT . Before they embark on their big tour, I got to talk to one half of The Presets , keyboardist/drummer, [...]
Possible Album of the Year? Pacifica has every element of a full album: story telling and beats.
I thought it would be appropriate to review the long awaited followup to 20082s Apocalypso, Pacifica - the newest album from Australian dance kings, The Presets , and damn, is it incredible. Although super-underrated in the United States, the Aussie duo is amongst electro royalty in their home country as they've toured with Daft Punk and will be headlining the upcoming Australia-wide touring festival, Parklife . To get an idea of their influence [...]
You'd think it was Halloween with all the songs about ghosts that we've been posting in the last week or so. Now it's The Presets ' turn for their track "Ghosts" , that if you haven't heard yet then the video below will have you hitting replay again and again, plus the video is pretty sick, too. There are zero bellyflops, though, if that's what you're holding out for. "Ghosts" , and it's predecessor "Youth In Trouble" is taken from [...]
The Presets have been out of the limelight for quite a few years now, so it's nice to see these guys return with two stellar tracks before the release of their newest full-length, Pacifica , due for release September 7th via Modular Records. If "Ghosts" and "Youth In Trouble" aren't already enough indications - the new album is beyond incredible! These Aussies are amongst the few that knows how to create the perfect blend of electronic and rock music, as illustrated [...]
Stream: The Presets - “Youth In Trouble (Green Velvet remix)
It's exciting times right now with The Presets announcement of their new album 'Pacifica' out this coming September on Modular. It's been all too long since they hit us with the tidal wave that was Apocalypso. Adding to the anticipation, they've released their first single Youth In Trouble , and put out a phenomenal remix package with edits from The Finger Prince, Green Velvet, and Alex Metric. To celebrate all of this, Modular has kindly decided to give out the Green Velvet treatment of track for free. We can't imagine a better possible collaboration, [...]

Se titulará Pacifica y nos adelantan Youth In Trouble , una canción que nos puede dar pistas de lo que está por venir. Si así van [...]
You need look no further than the image above to get an idea as to what kinda video is going to be below, and hey, you might even know what kinda music it is if you've never heard of The Presets before. It's dancy, upbeat, house music with zero WUB WUBs. You can close your eyes, pretend you're on E, put your head beack, relax your neck, and rock it back and forth like you're having an epiphany at a warehouse rave. "Youth In Trouble" is taken from The [...]

This made me remember why we love The Presets , and why they won 'Best Dance Release' and 'Best Group' , and became the first electronic act to win 'Album of the Year' in 2008. The Presets - Youth In Trouble (Official Video) The video for their latest creation: "Youth In Trouble" just released a few hours ago. It's a visual art piece that takes the form of a video in a mix of Warhol, Roy Lichenstein, and the graffiti artist Basquiat. There are faint shots of revolutionary [...]

Its been a long wait but here it is, the 1st track from The Presets upcoming album Pacifica .

The original 6-minute anthem is out now in Australia (I’m guessing soon everywhere else) featuring reworks by Green Velvet, Alex Metric, and The Finger Prince & Light Year. Sign-up to the emailing list HERE , get The Finger Prince & Light Year [...]
Looks like most people slept on the updated teaser for '"Youth In Trouble" that included vocals and the slightly cryptic numbers - 09 00 29 06 12. It was then spotted over on the ABC/Triple J blog a few days ago the not so-subtle hint that 'if you're keen on hearing new music from The Presets you might want to tune into triple j from 9am next Friday.' Tie that in with the pre-order of the 'deluxe' edition and [...]
The Presets have released a video teaser for "Youth In Trouble" - the first single from their expected new album for 2012. At 40 seconds long there really isn't too much to bite on but the hypnotic intensity can only point to this being a complete banger. Word from the vault is the album has been completed and ready to be unleashed! The yet to be named album will follow on from the 2008 epic record 'Apocalypso' and possibly offer a retrospective of vintage power synth sounds. Watch the teaser for "Youth In [...]
