We were given the opportunity to cover the production and post production of the music event ‘SNOWTUNES’ down in Jindabyne. Some crazy performances with insane pyrotechnics which made the crowd go loony.
We got the job done and hit the slopes the following day.
Music by Hermitude – The Buzz
The week of the Bondi Vans Bowlarama turns the Beach Road Hotel into a frenzy.
Masters of the sport sell their vinyl collection while skateboarders queue across the mini ramp, trading off to the sounds of the bands close by.
Velvet sea was asked to cover the performances on stage and in the bowl.
Still being relatively new to NYC, the thought of shooting fashion on rooftops and the yellow cab is still a fancy feature, so when Katherine got in touch to shoot, my rooftop in Brooklyn was the first thing that popped into my head. One of our mates from B_Space on Mulberry St, Nolita sorted us…
Kiki is blonde, super fit and very shy when sober, one of those stories where first impressions can be very deceiving.
For todays #VSHAPPYMONDAY we’re doing a shout out to one of our favorite Aussie photographers Akila Berjaoui and her amazing celebration of the female form.
In the spirit of Easter we’ve decided to post one of the people with the nicest souls we know.
Back in 2012 a very hungover Cassandra rocked up on my doorstep on a sunny Sunday morning willing to have a crack at her first photo shoot. All I had laying around the place were some my random clothes and Velvet Sea tee’s. The rolling is the result of a few hours of Cass, random clothing and good tunes.
Hope you enjoy it;
For this #VSFRAMES, we’ve pulled together an old post and photo essay from Sam Page, shot in Copenhagen, 2012 and inspired by the sounds of Trentemoller.

We thought we’d throw together a post, with the best of the web, to help nurse that hangover and get you moving into the day!
A floating, open air space which fuses European beach club culture with 5 star service.
It’s always a great day when it’s spent listening to a Cut Snake mix. This #vssounds is perfect for the weekend and a few beers (or a case, vodka, whatever) in the sun.
Velvet Sea was given the privelege of producing a music video for the band ‘ The Bungalows’.
The creative freedom to conceptualise from scratch makes the mind run wild with different ideas, decisions and COLOURS.

This week, #VSSOUNDS comes from Mark E with his album, Product Of Industry on Ghostly International’s Spectral Sound imprint. It’s a chugging, industrial sounding house album that pulls inspiration from the industrial rise and fall of the UK’s West Midlands. Made on almost entirely analogue equipment, the album invokes the raw and rough edges of…
#VSSOUNDS this week, comes from Joey Anderson with his full length, After Forever. It’s a deep, hypnotic, ride through the nether regions of House and Techno. Other-wordly synth and piano work compliment his raw, swinging beats and rough edged samples. After Forever is a phenomenal debut album and shows how well Joey’s style takes to…
Riley Blakeway has just dropped a new short film. The film explores the subject of creativity and is narrated by Warren Smith. Shot around Warren’s Downtown LA Warehouse, the film is an epic piece of cinematography and touches on a human trait that we all feel deeply.

From the genius lens and vision of Kai Neville comes Epokhe’s External World (1.5): “Join us for another pilgrimage into the raw & uninhabited landscapes that have become a refuge for the EPØKHE creators.

We missed a #vsweeklysounds last week, so this week we’ll have two. The first one, will be an album by a band called Swans, titled The Seer. They’ve been around since the 80’s (the front man is 58!!!) but you wouldn’t know that by listening to them. Their new album The Seer is, in my…
It’s a balmy Tuesday after a weekend of horrendous storms and this #vsweeklysounds couldn’t be more fitting. It’s a mix by Mike Parker for the always amazing, Electric Deluxe podcast and it’s probably like nothing you’ve heard before. Deep crate digging with an envious flow and a refreshing sound. It’s an expansive listen and a…
Velvet Sea has just put the finishing touches on a new feature film to be released in the coming weeks.

OXBLVD’s song “Tease Me” relates a story that we’ve all been through. A gorgeous girl teases a guy, somewhat unintentionally, and knocks his socks off. Time is spent bedding the girl. Drinks, dancing, and feeling. Some of us win, and some lose. The song throbs along and oozes a sexiness that isn’t present in most…
Our first AM/PM episode with OXBLVD was a short and sweet glimpse into the warmup for their gig at the Beresford. A preview if you will. This one, episode 2, is longer, beefier and will no doubt get you dancing, or at the very least head nodding. They are a well oiled live act now…
