Modular People

Congratulations once more to the all conquering duo, The Presets who have been awarded the prestigious APRA Songwriters Of The Year award last night in Melbourne. Capping off what has been an astonishing 18 months for Kim & Jules, their phenomenally successful album Apocalypso showcased their ability to fuse lyrical daring with killer melodies and proved that they are without doubt an Australian songwriting force to be reckoned with. The award is represent the songwriters behind the most successful works of 2008. Massive kudos, boys.

Triple J's monthly rag-read Jmag is out today & is headed up on the cover by none other than Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. KO spills the saucy songstress goss on It's Blitz! and life as one of rock's most libidinous leading ladies.

Grab your copy of Jmag from all good newsagents.

Klaxons have unveiled new info on their forthcoming LP. Speaking with an eager BBC Music, Jamie Reynolds spilt the beans on the elusive trio's latest biz. "We've got 28 songs, and we're just about to put it together as a complete record" he proclaimed. Originally slated for 2009, the lads have pushed back the release until 2010... "We'd really like to put out the first great record of the 2010s rather than the last great one of this decade. Now that's become an aspiration and a goal." Excited?

The majestically kosmiche Eine Kleine Nachtmusik album is finally available outside the UK. Not only can you get it through Turntablelab, Emusic and Insound (mp3 or CD) in the US, but you can also get it from iTunes pretty much everywhere.

From Belgium to Barbados, it can all be yours, now!

As you may have heard, Andrew Stockdale dropped the bomb last week revealing that the Wolfies' second record will be given the very mystical title of Cosmic Egg, named after a Yoga position. Of course.

Tip your hats and say hello to Modular's newest family members, the DJ/producer duo Leo Holiday and Ryan Sea-mist, better known as the collective unit, Canyons.

Hailing from Perth but now calling Sydney home, Canyons are more "cool older step-brother" than "creepy uncle" and have been causing ripples in the house music pond with their unique flavour of eclectic genre-defying tunes.
