The Presets: A Legacy of Electronic Music Excellence

The Presets, an iconic Australian electronic music duo, have been making waves in the music industry for over two decades. Comprised of founding members Kim Moyes and Julian Hamilton, the duo met in the mid-1990s and released their debut studio album in the mid-2000s. With hits like "My People" and "This Boy's In Love," the Presets have solidified their place in music history.

Despite their long and successful career, the Presets show no signs of slowing down. They recently performed at the Ocean Sounds Festival and are set to headline AO Live Opening Week at the Australian Open 2026 in Melbourne. Fans can expect an electrifying performance from the duo, presented by Live Nation Australia for the first time.

While new music from the Presets may be on the horizon, Moyes and Hamilton have been exploring other creative endeavors. Moyes served as music director for the Brisbane Festival's production of Gatsby at the Green Light, while Hamilton has been the musical director for the annual APRA Music Awards. Their diverse experiences and collaborations have added depth to their individual personalities.

The Presets' discography includes hit albums like "Beams," "Apocalypso," and "Hi Viz," which have garnered critical acclaim and multiple ARIA Awards. Their unique sound and innovative approach to electronic music have set them apart in the industry. Despite not having immediate plans for new music, the duo remains open to the possibility of creating more music in the future.

For AO Live Opening Week, the Presets will take the stage at the fan-favorite precinct TOPCOURT on Birrarung Marr's middle terrace. The open-air stage will host four nights of electronic music, featuring performances from the Presets, RONA., Harvey Sutherland (DJ Set), and Post Percy. The event promises to be a celebration of electronic music and a showcase of top talent in the industry.
