Live Act / Producer

01. The Presets

We’re not overstating ourselves when we say that the past few years have been pretty gosh darn big for Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes.  The all-conquering electro duo wiped the floor at the 2008 ARIAs, winning Album Of The Year, Best Video, Best Dance Release, Best Group and Producer Of The Year. They’ve sold out arena tours, sold about a billion copies of their album ‘Apocalypso’, and now been voted inthemix’s favourite live act! [Article]

  • 02. Dirty South

    Dirty South won’t forget the year 2009 anytime soon. The globe-trotting Australian remix and production wunderkind was given major props by - of all people - Bono! When playing live in Barcelona, U2 used elements of Dirty South’s remix of their track ‘Crazy’. The fly-eyed frontman also paid him his dues with a mention to the crowd. Pretty cool, huh?

  • 03. Bag Raiders

    With only three years as a duo behind them, the Bag Raiders have been knocking Australian clubbers senseless with their latest forays in the production arena. 2009 saw Chris Stracey and Jack Glass follow up their massively popular singles ‘Fun Punch’ and ‘Turbo Love’ with the suitably epic ‘Shooting Stars’. A new and unique path for the boys, the track shot straight into high rotation across Australia. [Video]

  • 04. Cut Copy

    With two albums now under their belt - their most recent contribution being 2008’s acclaimed ‘In Ghost Colours’ - Melbourne trio Cut Copy have proved they’re quite adept at producing melodies you can’t help but hum along. With dreamy anthems such as ‘Lights and Music’ and ‘Hearts on Fire’ to their credit, the band also scored a #1 spot on the ARIA album chart. All in a day’s work, it would seem. [Video]

  • 05. Empire of the Sun

    Who would have thought that a meeting of the minds this epic could ever take place? When The Sleepy Jackson’s Luke Steele and Pnau’s Nick Littlemore donned their finest fancy dress costumes and entered the studio to collaborate as Empire of the Sun, the results were out of this world. Their album has been praised across the globe, and they even stepped up to contribute their own soundtrack for the once in a lifetime solar eclipse of July, 2009. [Video]
