Going to see Cut Copy with The Presets tonight and am pretty amped up. I’ve been listening to some old Cut Copy stuff to brush up and came across this track “1981″. Yeah I know Cut Copy isn’t that old, but hell this track came out in 2001, that’s 7 years. Here’s a brief history lesson. Cut Copy was a side project that Dan Whitford, then a DJ and graphic designer, started and from there released the EP, I Thought of Numbers. From there he recruited additional members Tim Hoey, Mitchell Scott and Bennett Foddy (left group in mid-’04) in 2003 and released their debut LP, Bright Like Neon Love. Then in 2008 came the release of In Ghost Colours and the eventual acceptance from mainstream media. Anyways check out the video above and hear where the sounds of Cut Copy originated and after that, go and check out our interview that we did with them earlier this year in May, here.
Recently, I caught these two commercials off Big Stereo that feature music by Modular Recordings’s The Presets and New Young Pony Club. Both commercials were fun to watch and themed appropriately. “My People” is an intense track that mated well with the Hyundai soccer game commercial. Now all I’m anxiously waiting for is a new car and September 26th to roll around.
The latest single/video from The Presets’ Apocalypso album - “Talk Like That”.
The video is directed by Jonas & Francois - known for their collaborations with So-Me for Kanye’s Good Life and Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. videos.
I suppose now would be a good time to also mention that they will be playing with Cut Copy in Vancouver on October 9th at the Commodore - tix are on sale now @ Ticketmaster.
A new take on my favorite track from The Presets latest album, Apocalypso on Modular Recordings. And unlike many of these types of gems, this one is available on itunes.
“This Boy’s In Love” remixed by Lifelike, who pretty much comes correct on every remix I’ve heard by him. Indulge, ALL OF MY PEOPLE!!
P.S. I’m not responsible if you get up and start wilding out like one of those silhouettes in the itunes commercials and get fired for doing so.
I’ve been sweating the AM95 inspired Uptowns for some time now. Thanks to Nice Kicks, a release date of June 7th is set. Also, in this pack is a pair of AM95 inspired Court Forces. The Uptowns will go for $175, but the sneaker is immaculate with 3m, premium leather and of course, the visible air unit. The Court Forces are nearly a whole bill cheaper. The price and the half tone appearance from heel up makes copping them an easy call. June 7th can’t be anymore busier as it is with the Susan G. Komen’s 5k, The Presets playing at Rock n’ Roll Hotel and finding time to cop one or both of these releases. Make the leap for more images.
