The humble position to take would be that Submersion Festival is akin to its many contemporaries; a gathering of like-minds, hosted by like-minds, with the intention of furthering musical and artistic experiences in a space that makes us all feel at home with the event and its surroundings. The more modest position is that Submersion has achieved a standing in our wider community that is reflected in the circuitous return of fans, friends, and acts year on year. If you’re still on the fence, now’s the time to get serious. Tickets are running out, the doors open in three days’ time, and we’re hoping to see each and every one of you out in crowd for three days of sun, shoreline, and serendipity.

With over 14 years of music production hanging off of his toolbelt, Sam Rivkin has taken the patient path to musical maturation, gradually stirring his ingredients at the right pace and temperature to guarantee hearty results through his Conduit project. Rivkin is certainly no stranger to sound, having been a multi-instrumentalist for much of his life, and has been concurrently performing through his collaborative duo project Betafuse for over a decade. Up until now, Conduit releases have been kept close to vest. The payoff for this patience is release of his debut Duality EP through the veteran Colony Productions label, an apt home for such a granular set of tracks.
