Their song 'Are You The One' has also been featured in advertisements for BMW and been used to great effect in TV shows such as 'So You Think You Can Dance'.
In late 2007, The Presets toured Australia which electro legends Daft Punk. It was during this tour that the band introduced the first single of their new album 'Apocolypto' to the punters. The song 'My People' was well received and subsequently became a song that defined the '07/08 summer. The song also went on to the top spot on the ARIA Club Charts.
The song helped create plenty of buzz for the sophomore offering... The record was released in April 2008 and debuted at number one. Earlier that year another electro band 'Cut Copy' debuted at the top spot also, many music insiders signaled this as the first sign of electro music becoming a mainstay in mainstream pop music.
