The Presets are a Sydney-based electronic duo, consisting of Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes. In September 2005 they released their debut album, Beams, to positive critical response. They are widely recognised for their charismatic on-stage antics and in-your-face live presence. Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes also play in The Dissociatives, which is co-fronted by Daniel Johns of Silverchair and Australian dance producer Paul Mac. Johns also played guitar on Presets single "Cookie". Hamilton and Moyes are also members of Sydney instrumental group Prop.

Kim has also had a quiet solo career playing shows at Club 77 in Sydney with the local group Bang Gang, who also put both The Presets and Kim on their Ministry Of Sound album Mashed #2. He is the producer for the group and helped with the producing of another local band's EP, The Valentinos. The Presets are signed to Sydney independent record label Modular Recordings, home of The Avalanches, Cut Copy and Wolfmother.
