Julian Hamilton, half of Sydney juggernaut duo The Presets, has just released his first ever solo single ‘City of Love’, and it is brilliant.

With a syncopated bubbling, liquid undercurrent, ‘City of Love’ is a deliciously hyperactive track with Hamilton’s voice having a chilling, distant, almost disassociated vibe. There is a grand meeting of Kraftwerk motorik electronica with a Pet Shop Boys arctic delivery, and the result is a sublime piece of louche electronica, icy and elegant:

‘City of Love’ is available to download/stream here and will form a body of work for release later this year.
