Oily Rag

This year’s playground was Pantai Kelecung, raw, remote, and still clinging to the Bali of old. Coconut palms, undulating black sand beach, riverbanks, and open fields formed our trackside theatre. This wasn't a doddle, this was a test of dirt and devotion.

Introducing The Chamber of Eternal Combustion, located in the heart of Seongsu-dong: story after story of apparel, hospitality, and entertainment. This one has opened with a certain aplomb, and the cause is anyone’s guess (though we have our suspicions). Our newest flagship space has shape-shifted into something curated and exciting - a rich embodiment of everything we’re uniquely proud of at Deus. A world that celebrates craft, creativity, and connection: a meeting point for culture, and a destination where curiosity is rewarded.

Come in, stay awhile; good things tend to happen when you do. 

There’s a calmness to photographer Woody Gooch’s work. Some might even call it a quiet pulse that hums somewhere between intuition and serendipity, unfolding with a kind of ease. For Woody, the art lies not in control but in recognition, in knowing when a scene has found its own rhythm, and being present to catch it before it slips away.

Deus ambassador Forrest Minchinton has been hard at work, bringing two new motorcycles to life in partnership with Gas Gas Bikes. The MC450f - a motocross-specific build, engineered for the, at times, unpredictability of the track, where every component, every curve, every decision is made with speed and agility in mind.

We kicked off where we always should… in the drink. Pererenan Beach, dawn. The sand was cool, the waves were clean, and the only thing louder than the shore break was the hiss of our coffee machine firing up.

Slidetoberfest is what happens when you throw boards, bikes, and Bali into a blender and forget to put the lid on. Born to celebrate the Deus Temple of Enthusiasm’s opening, at fifteen years of age, it’s an annual excuse for organised mayhem… part pilgrimage, part piss-take, all heart.

Some projects start with a vision, others start with a tear-down. This one began as a brand-new 2024 Triumph Bonneville T100, and quickly became something else entirely.

The crack of dawn on a Saturday saw us chuckin' three of our race bikes into the back of the van. The crew was buzzing. We’d got a call from the Tasik Adventure mob, and when they say they're throwing a party, you just show up, no questions asked.

September 6th in Munich marked more than just another night on the calendar, rather it was the official launch of MINI JCW X Deus, a partnership a year (and then some) in the making.

Between Brazil's vibrant coastlines and Bali's wave-rich reefs, the story of Andrew Serrano - a longtime friend of Deus - blends soulful boards and a passion that pulls him back to the ocean. We discussed balance, craft, and what it means to stay true to the feeling that first drew him to the waves.⁠

Custom War has become one of the most anticipated custom culture shows here in Bali. It's a proper platform for fans of custom culture to share ideas, get inspired, and plunge into their passion.
