On June 2nd, 2018, music platform SBCLTR LA hosted their second SOUQ Festival, transforming an open-air venue in North Hollywood into a Middle Eastern marketplace for the 16-hour event. Over 1,500 guests enjoyed food by Hart Caters and perused goods sold by a bevvy of local artisans. World-renowned musicians set the soundtrack for the day, including Oceanvs Orientalis, Stavroz, Kerala Dust and Viken Arman, and DJ sets from LA-based SAAND and Armenian DJ/Producer Goldcap kept the party going.
