Have a listen to the killer Burns remix of Ladyhawke's "Magic" while we celebrate.

The J Award is for an album of outstanding achievement as an Australian musical work of art - for its creativity, innovation, musicianship and contribution to Australian music, as judged by a panel at Triple J, Australia's nation-wide youth network. The Presets join the list of legends alongside previous winners Wolfmother, Blue King Brown and The Panics.

The Presets
In less than four years, Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes have worked their way up and out though the musical quagmire of Sydney’s club scene to become Australia’s foremost proponents of twisted electronic pop. The duo met a decade earlier as tearaway students at Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music: by day they were battling Beethoven, by night sweating it out in seedy clubs to the strains of New Order, Bjork and The Smiths. They’re now one of the most talked about and in-demand live acts today, with a catalogue of dance smashes, two adored LPs - Beams and Apocalypso - and ARIA’s aplenty, there’s obviously a method to the Presets’ madness.
