The Presets

2006 will be a good year if we keep getting MP3s from Australia's Modular Records. Home to a wide range of goodness — from the epic rock trip that is Wolfmother to the Avalanches' turntable bricolage — Modular is set on opening the world's ears to Sydney duo The Presets, whose dark, moody (and sometimes sleazy) electro funk gets remixed here by labelmates Cut Copy. Sounds like they dialed up the "Underworld" setting, if there is such a thing. Now, if we could just get Modular to offer up a Cut Copy original, that'd be one more band I could cross off my 2005 wish list.
