Sydney duo The Presets (Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes) are remixers for acts like Kings Of Leon, Silverchair and Lenny Kravitz, but are also musicians in their own right.

Their latest album Pacifica, which included the great single Promises, among others,  dates back to 2012. Now, thankfully, there’s a new sign of life. Do What You Want is The Preset’s new single, and I love the way they announced in on their Facebook: “Do yourself a favour and buy it. Ha ha, just kidding. We know you’re not going to buy it. So stream it, sing it, scream it, feeeel it. We don’t care. Our love for you is unconditional. Do what you want.”

The track couples a pounding four-to-the-floor beat with a rocky sound and some old-school vocal sampling, resulting in a certified banger that combines the best of LCD Soundsystem and Audio Bullys. Or, as they describe it themselves: ‘pub rock techno’…

Find out how that sounds via Carte Blanche Music, where Do What You Want is this week’s Wildcard. Hence it will feature on the blog prominently, only one click away from discovery…
