Playground design by Norwegian architects

When I was a kid, our swingset was embedded in the rather uncompromising textures of rock hard cement. What can I say, Greek relatives! They love their concrete. This creative and functional playground design by Norwegian architects 70°N Arkitektur features mobile walls which hide toys for kids to discover.

Oh, ok. We just think they look kinda cool. Read more

Macedônian brutal doom outfit Potop, whose name means ‘flood’ in Polish, is one of the most anguished, despairing, dirty, hateful bands of the genre since Burning Witch. Their down-tuned, down-tempo sludge is virulently anti-life, oozing out of the speakers like poison gas. Read more

Beautiful Kaos is a small boutique Sydney-based label, created by Paulo Brito. His collection is launching this Summer, with a range of boardies, singlets, tees and jackets. The entire range epitomizes Summer fun, my favourite time of year.
