Gusto and Luke Dubs, the Blue Mountains-based duo, who have been experimenting with electronic and hip-hop sounds for over two decades. Their unique musical approach, which blends hip-hop roots with electronic soundscapes, has earned them critical acclaim. This tour and showcase will highlight all aspects of their brand and sound from their inception to date, while toasting to how far they’ve come.
Across the last two decades, Hermitude – consisting of Elgusto and Luke Dubs, both from the Blue Mountains – have consistently kept evolution and experimentation at the forefront of their craft, paving new directions amongst the electronic, hip-hop and pop spaces that have kept them not just ahead of the curve, but defining the curve’s every move.
Award-winning multi-instrumentalists, Hermitude have moved from strength to strength since meeting in their early teens. First signing to Elefant Traks in 2002, the pair have marked out a sonic footprint that is defined by their hip-hop roots and electronic soundscapes. Their 2012 album, Hyperparadise won the Australian Music Prize and would see its title track reach #38 on the ARIA Charts and its Flume remix hit speakers everywhere, with singles going Gold and double platinum.
Their follow-up album, Dark Night Sweet Light debuted at #1 on the ARIA Charts, with single “The Buzz” firmly placing them on the world map. Their 6th album Pollyanarchy again reflected the duo’s development as they became a global force doing headline tours and festivals across Europe, Asia and North America, from Governors Ball to Reading to Splendour in the Grass.
Releasing up and coming drum n bass track ‘Celebrate‘ along with their US tour (June/July 2023) is their first step in their never-ending search for the new sound.
