Kimberley Isaac Moyes is the drummer and keyboard/synth player of the Australian electronic duo The Presets. On his own, he makes some enchantingly brutal, unorthodox dance music under the moniker K.I.M. He chatted with us on the phone from his hotel room in downtown New York before gearing up to DJ some gigs across the country. In September, The Presets and fellow Aussies Cut Copy will co-headline a North America tour (see dates below). We dug the last time they swung by Brooklyn, and for the record, so did he: “We had such a blast at that show, besides the fact that we were both sick as dogs. It was fucking great.” →
