Harrison Patrick Smith, the Grammy-nominated producer and performer behind The Dare, joins Lauren and Simon in the studio to discuss his debut album, What’s Wrong with New York?

They explore how The Dare recreates NYC’s iconic underground rave culture while still capturing its raw, grungy edge in a studio recording. Harrison opens up and shares his favorite Australian bands, artists, cities and how his electrifying club night, Freakquencies, fits right into Melbourne’s night life.
