Heaps of music, good films from Thomas Cmapbell, Taylor Stelle, Patrick Trefz and many more, all to be announced on the 30^th of May. 

Chapter 1: The boat leaves for new adventure 

Chapter 2: Swimming with skarks to the desert island 

Chapter 3: Finding the perfect wave

The ourCASTE Quick Cuts series are a bi-monthly collaborative release from a community of enthusiasts interpreting the things they love through different mediums influenced by the sub-cultures that connect us all.

Visualising a story of places they've been, people they've met and experiences shared together, ourCASTE seek to be a curator of sorts to the youth and an outlet for those weird, left brain ideas to be projected to that otherwise wouldn't necisarily have a home for. The end goal aiming to be a series entirely created by contributors. 

Check out the website to see a bit more what they're about.

Friday 18th January 2013 was the hottest ever-recorded day in Australia; but you already knew that. Walking outside was like walking into a fan forced oven, the heat was thick and sweat poured from your body by the bucket but that didn't deter the thousands of people who attended the first show of the Big Day Out shows in Sydney. Those brave enough to bare the heat were treated to amazing live performances, lots of wet T-Shirts and kids chewing their faces off.
