THE PRESETS - ARE YOU THE ONE? (LIFELIKE 1 SERIOUS REMIX) VIDEO

A technicoloured trip through crystal cities and swirling universes, this new video for The Presets is a snapshot straight from the mind’s eye of some of Australia’s premiere creative gurus. On the hunt for some music to blast out of their German car stereos, BMW heard the 2005 stormer Are You The One? and flipped.

However we wanted to revitalise the engine room of the song and commissioned a remix by French whiz-kid (and all around nice guy), Lifelike. The result was an post-electro love child, that bridged the gap between Beams and The Presets sophomore album, Apocalypso.

To celebrate BMW and Modular approached Jonathan Zawada and Shane Sakkeus (alongside the production brainiacs at Collider) to create a new video algorithm to solve the age old problem "what do youget when you cross The Presets + BMW + LifeLike + Zawada + Sakkeus + Collider?" The answer; a joy ride of the imagination that results in pure optical bliss. Traversing through parallel worlds of rainbow moon rocks, pyramids, and cosmic clouds, THE ONE(s) navigates the heavens and the earths alike. Ecstasy to the eye. Drink it in people.

Trippy.

Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire + Free Midnight Juggernauts Remix

The boys are bringing new life to their 07 saxxxy-anthem Hearts On Fire. Blazed out in its new album version glory the official release will come squished between remixes by The Midnight Juggernauts, Knightlife and Holy Ghost! It’ll be available July 5 (in 12”, CD, and digital form). A video for the single has just been finished so keep an eye out for info on that.

The official release of Hearts On Fire is rocketing straight to planet Jugular with a touch-up from everyone’s favourite neo-disco astronauts The Midnight Juggernauts, who have draped the original in atmospheric organ sweeps, glittering arena echoes and dulcet vocal harmonies. One listen will send you into a wide-eyed trip from couch to cosmos.

Get your FREE AS CAN BE download of Cut Copy – Hearts On Fire (Midnight Juggernauts Remix) – HERE.

The glistening moon rock that is Cut Copy’s sophomore record, In Ghost Colours, is available from the MOD SHOP, ITUNES, JB HIFI and RED EYE RECORDS.

Ladyhawke Blogs!

Pip has been touring all over the shop with people like Peaches, Soulwax and 2 Many DJs... as well as playing our very own Modular parties. She's started blogging over at her MYSPACE, but we've cut and pasted the first entry below, check back there regularly for updates.

"So, I've been doing heaps of live shows in the last couple of months. They've been heaps of fun, taken me to some places I've never been to before, like Sheffield, Brighton, Liverpool, Nottingham, Cardiff, Bristol, lots around London and lots more coming up! Anyway, when I play live, I only have two arms, I cant play everything at once myself haha so for the shows and touring I have a couple of lovely boys helping me out. So I thought I'd introduce you to my backing band, Tom on bass, Danny on guitar, and Ryan on Drums!! Check out the photo to see what they look like. Or catch us in person at The Macbeth in Hoxton, East London on May 14th. I'm playing a full show and my friend Peaches is flying over to DJ!"

Ladyhawke - Back Of The Van + FREE REMIX

Modular is beaming a rainbow-sized smile as we welcome Ladyhawke to the gang. Ladyhawke aka Pip Brown is the Kiwi born, Aussie bred, now residing in London artiste who stitches pure modern electro pop with the vintage day-glo disco elements of a bygone era. Ladyhawke's debut album will be released in September this year. Whilst Back Of The Van coupled with remixes by Fred Falke and Mock & Toof will be available early June.

Back Of The Van is an 80s hair brush sing-a-long that sparkles with discodust. A timewarp jam that is bringing the shimmering synth and bouncy bass of the acid-wash decade to a new audience. Whilst Van She Tech's Fire Engine Remix is a sweaty club rub, laced with a downright dirty attitude.

The Presets - J Award Nomination

The Presets are the first act to be nominated for the J Award.

The kings of electro-rock have delivered on the expectations set by their
debut a few years back with their sophomore effort Apocalypso. In equal parts menacing and enticing, darkly mysterious and compulsively fun, The Presets have a developed an individual style already being emulated around Australia and around the world. Triple J Music Director Richard Kingsmill, said ‘The Presets album is set to be one of the landmark Australian albums of '08. My People pointed towards an exciting second album might be coming, but the duo have exceeded those expectations. It's one of the darkest party records of all time.’

Apocalypso is stocked in the party jams aisle of the MOD SHOP, JB HIFI and ITUNES. Features current single and glittering techno gem, This Boy’s In Love.

Yeahh baby!
