There are bushfires ablaze in the country, cities swamped by intense heat waves and the West Indian cricket team have landed, but if all that wasn’t indication enough that the Australian summer was well and truly here then this year’s Harbourlife festival in Sydney this past weekend made it official.

The Sydney faithful came out in droves to take in the pristine beats from international superstars Stanton Warriors and Martin Solveig, not to mention local heavies Bag Raiders, K.I.M. and Beni, and inthemix was there capturing it all on film. We’ve selected some of the best shots from our galleries, complete with spectacular views, bikini clad girls and plenty of blokes revelling in their shirtlessness before Steresonic rolls around this weekend. Check them out in the links below for a taste of the summer action ahead.
