A limited time and highest caliber of skating will see the King of the Bronx crowned, cashed up and flying to New York City thanks to Globe, Fast Times, Brixton, Vestal and Slam Magazine.

The Queens Art Precinct will feature Australia’s up and coming talents exhibited with themed New York inspired works will be voted by the crowd and judged by industry leaders for their chance to travel to NYC and paint their own mural and mix it with the best, supported and curated by Rtist Gallery, Ironlak and Doss Blockos.

Brooklyn’s 72 Hour Film Festival will feature a selection of short films themed around New York City, presented in front of the Boroughs’ audience of professionals and peers. The winner will take home a DSLR camera and package, also included is an internship with Big Dog Productions to work on the behind the scenes for a Wolf Creek film production thanks to the Astor Theatre, Findie, T-Squat and Film Ink Magazine.

Entrants of the Manhattan Fashion competition will give young and emerging designers the opportunity to showcase their designs, receive valuable exposure to arts hungry festival goers, be viewed by high profile and industry savvy judges and have representation in extensive print and media sources with over $10,000 in prizes up for grabs thanks to Launch My Label.

Fixie bike enthusiasts meet at Federation Square at 11am for the Battle of the Streets from registration, city maps, spoke cards will be given out and the race will start at noon around the city where scrabble pieces will be handed out at check points around the city. Finishing at The Boroughs the King and Queens will be awarded with brand new David Reid bikes with riders entering into a game of scrabble and skid comps with prizes thanks to Knog, 3000 Custom, Sundae Stash and David Reid bikes.

In addition the infamous Globe mini ramp will be open for skating throughout the day allowing a full day of skate action to go down including appearances by the international Enjoi skate team including Jerry Hsu, Louie Barletta, Cairo Foster, Caswell Berry and Ben Raemers.

Sonic Expedition and Gods Kitchen Present NaTive Dog

Tonight we've got Native Dog back to play back to back with Sonic Expedition leader T-Dub. Expect nothing when it comes to what you think about dubbed out downtempo music. Bum wiggles, foot tapping, fat smiles and head nodding a given.

A Bit about the Dingo.....

Native Dog is a Dj/producer/hand-jiver that has a rep for dealing some serious doses of the funkiest, fatest, wobblyest, smoothest, deepest, weirdest, heavyest and everything in-between sonic treats this side of the dingo fence. Dogs have a great sense of smell- Native Dog has one specific to what the punters want/need to get smiles, good times and dance shenanagens happening; you walk in the door- you just created a new groove to the record. Native Dog has run and flipped alota partys/festivals through Melbourne and the North NSW areas, he has just returned from Europe gigs with stacks of fresh beats and other treats from sniffing through Euro/Asian music crates. You bring good vibes, Native brings the beats and the fun is on..
