Flagship - The Emporium Of Postmodern Activities - Los Angeles

Darkened and crispy on the outside. Chewy and delicious on the inside. Welcome to The Emporium of Postmodern Activities. Deus Ex Machina’s third addition to its global ground fleet of marvel outlets is proudly located in Venice, CA—one of the most vibrant hubs of surf, bicycle, and motorcycle culture on planet Earth.

Featuring in-house custom built motorcycles by Michael “Woolie” Woolaway, hand-shaped and hand-glassed surfboards, clothing and artwork designed at the House of Simple Pleasures in Camperdown, Sydney, and brewcraft from Vittoria as well as an intimate selection of fine apparel, accessories, footwear, motorcycle gear, books, magazines and more —the gas station turned flower shop turned Deus Ex Machina depository draws from its grand vessel of world flavors and stands at the ready to astonish and serve its citizenry.

On the edge of Harajuku, a bold new sign has risen - The Residence of Impermanence - in Harajuku, Tokyo, is back. Art, surfboards, motorcycles, apparel, café, music - a place where all kinds of enthusiasms collide. Step inside to the Deus Café - a breezy open ceiling space, serving all-day breakfast and the perfect energy for every moment. We're not ones to argue with that. Climb the spiral staircase to surfboards quietly lined against a softly lit backdrop.

Shaped exclusively for the Residence by Takuya “Tappy” Yoshikawa, Tetsuya Ogawa, and Jared Mell, each board is one of a kind. Sofas once beloved at the former Harajuku store — crafted by TRUCK Furniture and Stephen Kenn — have been reupholstered and brought to life for their next chapter. They’ll take on new character with time — just like this place. We invite you to settle in and enjoy the flow.

Same name. New form. The spirit remains, just slightly rearranged. Come in, stay awhile. Find us at 2-32-5 Jingumae, Shibuya-Ku, BPR Square Jingumae 1-1F & 2F Tokyo.

In Benzin Veritas!

Kumpul-Kumpul Ride V “A wet Sunday is still a good day to ride.”

Jul 04, 2025

That morning, the last Sunday of June 2025, Bali breathed under a mist of drizzle. The wet season, which should’ve long packed up and left, stuck around just long enough to soak a single Sunday. But at the courtyard of Deus Temple Canggu, rain wasn’t a delay—it was the opening act.
