Blow Up is an extended play by the Australian electro house group, The Presets, the band's first release. It was released on 17 November 2003.[1][2] Silverchair's lead guitarist Daniel Johns guests on three tracks and co-wrote "Cookie" with The Presets' members, Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes.[3] Hamilton and Moyes also produced, mixed and engineered the album. InTheMix reviewer, EvilChris felt "[it] is loaded up with just under 30 minutes of energetic sleaze-soaked and slightly sinister synth-driven rock designed to slither into your subconscious".[4] Australian Music Online described the release as "a dirty dark soundtrack to sweaty clubs that reeked of sex and sweat and ... was electro pop delivered with rock'n'roll aggression."[1] "Beat on / Beat Off" was released to radio as a single and received airplay on Triple J.[2]
