W/ Mei Saraswati

Acclaimed Brooklyn ambient techno trio Purelink bring their immersive live show to ARRIVAL, delivering a hypnotic blend of dubbed ambience, experimental rhythm and atmospheric electronica.

Formed by Tommy Paslaski, Ben Paulson and Akeem Asani, Purelink have quickly become cult favourites for their fluid approach to electronic music drifting between brittle ‘90s drum & bass textures, dub techno and vaporous post-rock atmospheres. Early releases caught the attention of tastemakers including Pitchfork and Resident Advisor, establishing the trio as one of the most exciting voices in experimental electronic music.

Since their acclaimed debut album Signs, Purelink have expanded their sound further on 2025’s Faith, layering live instrumentation, organic textures and guest vocals (including contributions from Loraine James) over their signature cascade of dubbed ambience and gently propulsive rhythms.

Join them for their Australian debut at ARRIVAL with special guest Mei Saraswati for a transportive festival opening performance.
