A call-to-arms for the holidays, this relentless party starter was premiered on triple j today and is available now via Modular/EMI.
‘Do What You Want’ is the first taste of the group’s long awaited fourth album, which is set to drop in 2018. The song was written and produced by The Presets, with distinctive cover art from long-time collaborator Jonathan Zawada who has also worked with Flume over recent years.
The duo has been teasing some new anthems during headline slots on several Festivals over the last few months. They are also set to blast through This That Festival this weekend in Newcastle with Hot Dub Wine Machine and Beyond The Valley confirmed before the close of 2017.
“…sing it, scream it, feeeel it. We don’t care. Our love for you is unconditional.
Do what you want”

ABOUT THE PRESETS:
The Presets took shape in 2003 when Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes first met at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. They were quickly recognised for their ability to fuse elements of dance music with an energy more akin to rock’n’roll. After signing with Modular Recordings, the band released two EPs and an album Beams (2005).
In 2008 The Presets released the chart topping Apocalypso, selling in excess of Triple Platinum sales in Australia and featuring four hit singles, including the classic ‘My People’. Setting new standards for dance music in Australia, The Presets went on to win 5 ARIA awards (and 2 ARIA Artisan Awards) including Album of the Year, as well as the J Award and FBI SMAC Award for Album of The Year. Kim and Julian also shared the coveted Songwriter of The Year Award at the 2009 APRA Awards.
Pacifica was released in 2012, featuring Rolling Stone Magazine’s Song Of The Year, ‘Ghosts’. Pacifica was also nominated for an ARIA, shortlisted for the AMP Award, the J Award, and was Album of the Year in the Herald Sun and Daily Telegraph, and Electronic Album of the Year in the Sydney Morning Herald.
As well as making new music together over recent years, the pair also collaborated individually with other artists over recent years. Julian co-wrote Flume’s hit “Say It” and contributed to tracks with Flight Facilities, Steve Angelo and Meek Mill. Kim produced the new album for the DMA’s and has created remixes for artists including The Drones and TheJezabels while also starting an underground techno label called Here To Hell.
The Presets have been recognised worldwide for their dynamic live performances, playing hundreds of shows domestically and internationally, including key slots at renowned international music festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella, SXSW, Exit, Melt and Splendour In The Grass.
