The Presets just dropped their fantastic new album, Apocalypso:
their follow up to their also-fantastic debut album, Beams:
.
The Presets are an Australian electronica duo, consisting of two fashion students(?). One half of the duo has branched off into solo work as well, producing under the name of K.I.M.
If you like Justice and Daft Punk circa Human After All, then The Presets should appeal to you.

It's ApocalypTo
Hopefully their new album will spawn as many awesome remixes as their last.
Which one is doing solo work, the talented one or the singer?
I'm pretty sure K.I.M is the non-vocal one.
Since this is the closest thing to a music thread I'll ask if anyone knows what I'm talking about.
I was in a bar the other night and they played this song that was like a remix or a sample of Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin and I think it was being rapped over by a dude and then a chick. I couldn't really hear what was going on.
Anyone know what I'm talking about I've been trying to track it down
http://youtube.com/watch?v=qpN819k4sQA is one of their better tracks.
it was pretty nice of him
saved me the time and effort of checking them out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Ripper probably
and the videos are shockingly pretentious and yet cliché all in one breath
horrible
I'm going to go listen to Justice now because they are wonderful
Yeah, different from Daft Punk, and the repetition isn't quite as clear, but still there is a crossover in fans of both bands.
My People is the lead single off their new album, and is sure to be club anthem in the next couple of months. For anyone who liked Girl and the Sea of Beams, If I Know You will appeal.
I'm really digging Yippiyo-ay though.
I dunno nothing on that page says anything about Led Zeppelin
see now, when you say tiga you get my attention
so i gave that vid a shot, and didn't really feel the tiga, but it was alright
and then i hoped you were wrong about comparing it to daft punk, and checked out a recent track
my verdict:
not nearly as shitty as daft punk, and pretty listenable
yeah this is pretty neat
fuck you youtube
granted, all of daft punk's videos off Discovery were anime
and you, me
potatoe but you are normally so cool
those videos ruled
ugh
Is that what all this Interstella 5555 shit is?
you're delirious
It's pretty hard to listen to Girl and the Sea and not think of Tiga, but basically where I'm going with the analogy is that they're both producing music that texturally is meant for the dancefloor but structurally adheres to verse-chorus-verse pop. They also both use sparse, simple arrangements and rely heavily on vocal hooks to carry their songs.
t Ubik: Night Ripper is an album of mashups with a lot of classic rock and rap samples, but it doesn't have any Whole Lotta Love samples so I'm not sure why Ori linked to it. If the sample was looped for less than 30 seconds in a barrage of other unrelated songs, then it might've been a Girl Talk track.
or aren't I
:winky:
yep
Interstella 5555 is pretty much clips of the videos from Discovery back-to-back, telling a story of some sorts. A house music musical of sorts
......what
check out Chemical Brother's Star Guitar
Gondry did that one as well.
