Ice Cream Sundays

Melbourne independent Hip-Hop event series, running since 2014. Hip-Hop roots, open crate.

Live Hip-Hop, crate-digging DJ sets, a warm room, not a club-rap room. No corporate sponsorship, no mainstream playlist. The crowd is producers, MCs, photographers, designers and DJs.

ICS Radio, the station arm, launches February 2027. Venues book the room. DJs play it.

Spacely Clothing

Creative streetwear for the workers of imagination.

Founded by Henry, made in Melbourne, built on fifteen years of rooms rather than a mood board. Discipline made visible. Worn on every job, never pitched on one.
