The Presets Aria Mix

You know The Presets. And, you probably dig ’em. It’s hard not to. Kim Moyes and Julian Hamilton are the soul of Australian electronic dance music, and have been since their first EP, Blow Up, landed in 2003. Then, of course, they wrote Are You The One and entered a realm untouched by any Oz dance act prior. Three albums later and they’re still brill. We adore success served with panache and these gents are fine dining on all fronts.

So, more pertinently. The Presets’ last album, Pacifica, is up for Best Dance Release at this year’s ARIAs. As the mood intensifies, we’re gifted a list of their favourite jams from past winners and nominees of the award. It’s a snapshot of Australia’s more dancefloor-friendly tip from the last, like, 12 years. It’s really good. Welcome to the weekend.

If the ARIAs is something that heightens your aural senses then you can scoop live Tweets from @rdioau while it’s rolling, and listen to the night’s live performances the following day (December 2) right here.

Oh, and if you wanna get full plays instead o’ previews, go join up to Rdio. Free and easy.
