SOAK : Hermitude & Claire O'Brien
Night 1 of SOAK: Live at the Baths unfolds into an unforgettable audio sensory experience at the water's edge: Hermitude — ARIA Award-winning duo Gusto and Dubs, known for genre-blurring electronic and hip-hop soundscapes — join forces with Claire O'Brien, the Newcastle-based DJ and Ode Label founder whose sets have taken her from Dark Mofo to the Warehouse Project. A pairing that's never happened before and may not happen again.
