The Presets are reminiscent of their label mates Cut Copy – with their techy gadgets and computer wizardry thumping and clicking away in the background and with their sometimes mild-voiced and sometimes scratchy, smoky vocals. On a closer listen, there appears more of an energy to it, it’s more violent and sleazy sounding.
Full of melodic acrobatics and a buzzing back beat, this is a sure dance hall track. Spiky in all the right places, this one takes a little getting used to, if you’re not a fan of the more techno side of dance. But it’ll hook you, all right.
