With their notorious clubbing nights in venues like Studio 80 in Amsterdam, these guys behind "Babylon" are ruling the Amsterdam underground scene. "Guilty Sectret", their debut release on 90watts is upcoming, so it's about time to wonder: who the hell are these guys? Let's ask them.

Hey, who are you guys?

Onno van Velzen and Victor Coral.

What brought you guys together into the music?

We have known each other as dj's for a long time, since we both have a history with the legendary Amsterdam promotors from Chemistry. Onno as youngest ever resident for their Saturday's and Victor as organising host and resident fro RUSH. PRESETONE however was born on Queensday 2008, a spontaneous back2back set turned out to be such a succes plus a lot of fun, that we decided to continue this joint venture behind the decks and into the studio as well, hence PRESETONE was born. The rest is history so they say, haha..

Who inspires you most?

What do you think about today’s issues in electronic dance music?

The digital revolution obviously has caused a snowball going downhill at full speed of releases every week. Most of them not really worth checking, yet we luckily hear a lot of really cool stuff as well. You just have to search for the little gems.... Besides that I have to say that the tech-house renaissance of Amsterdam is very inspiring to witness, big up!

What’s that typical “PRESETONE” factor?

Epic / Double trouble / Mayhem.

Any plans for this year? What may we expect?

Next to our upcoming release for 90Watts we have 2 new releases coming up on Spanish label Suruba Records in the next coming months. Also there is a new ep on German Circle Music planned for later this year. Partywise we are hosting a Moon Harbour Labelnight in Amsterdam in april, and of-course our bi-monthly night BABYLON at Studio 80.
