We are a group of mates who got together to initially run small gigs out
 of a barbershop in Wellington. Our first gigs were capped at 100pax but
 the sounds were powered by hefty sound systems. We have kept that ethos
 going with our current gigs. 



We run only a couple a year and the focus is still on a smaller more 
intimate dance with a legendary roster of sound system crews that we 
work with like Third Eye Hi-Fi, Further Sound and Prescription Audio.



Bass

Multi-genre


We're a group of young bucks that host high-energy, grassroots events 
across the motu. From bar gigs to bush doofs, we aim to push the 
underground sound of Aotearoa and hold space for musicians to shine. Our
 main event, Rolling Hertz, has quickly become a staple for bass and 
music lovers across the country. 

We love linking crews, sound systems, and talented people from all 
corners of the country to come bring their talents together to create 
something truly gangster and special. Creating a space where everyone 
can bring their passion to the table and for it all to converge into an 
epic experience for everyone to enjoy. 

As well as hosting events, we also have a DJ roster of the most talented
 locals in the area. All homies and brought up in the Tasman music 
scene, veterans of the underground sound.  Building a loyal following 
and bringing hype, vibrant crowds wherever we go, performing takeovers 
at festivals such as Twisted Frequency, Into The Vortex, Oasis, and 
Rolling Hertz. 



 Our kaupapa is all about connection, intention, and fkn gangsta bass 
music,  crafting full-spectrum musical journeys from start to finish. 
Expect deep and rolling through to chunky, techy, spontaneous, and 
experimental. We focus on a range of bass-heavy genres including 
halftime, dubstep, minimal rollers, grime, jungle, UKG, breaks, always 
curated with intention and flavor.

Big up the Aotearoa Underground and every hooman that gets amongst. This
 is the future of the scene.

Ghost Media was formed in 2018 as a vehicle for its creator, Casper de 
Wit aka Young Gho$t, to host events that he could perform at alongside 
his peers. In the post-lockdown events boom, this snowballed into 
regular events in a range of genres, which naturally led to bringing 
artists from overseas, placing well respected international DJs 
alongside talented locals. In 2021 they began embracing soundsystem 
culture, working alongside crews such as Further Sound, Third Eye Hi-Fi 
and Tubs Audio to deliver audio-focused club nights showcasing a full 
spectrum of styles of electronic music. Since then they have maintained a
 commitment to DIY culture and creating unforgettable nights for music 
fans in Aotearoa’s capital and beyond. Nowadays, they're just trying to 
provide people with a good time in this capitalist hellhole we live in.

I was born in the space before a night out while playing music and 
getting ready with my girls. Between putting on my flatmate's clothes, 
trying to find the perfect outfit and having a kiki, Miss Raven was 
born. The year is 2024, we’re in a mouldy Welly flat where I host the 
best pres and house parties. I knew it was time to take my creative 
hosting skills to the big stage… A fierce diva was born. My shawties and
 I are multifaceted; we have plenty of creative outlets. We have now 
hosted a vast range of events. Band nights, DJ gigs, market days and 
even art galleries. We love to bless the Pōneke scene with our presence.
 We have a slick as team who’s Kaupapa aligns with my own, wanting to up
 lift FLINTA*. Not to hate but we put more than just a token girl on the
 line up. Lemme talk you through how my usual night goes… *ring ring* 
“Hey bb what are you up to tonight?”,  “Ossshh I’m going to this meke as
 techno rave, pass it on xx?” - Love Miss Raven xx

Safehouse began as a small club event in Wellington with the original 
goal of creating a place for self expression and connection through 
dance music. Since then we have worked hard to push creativity and 
growth in the community, collaborating with collectives around the 
country creating high energy nights that welcome all genres and people. 
We put a lot of effort in to create a safe environment where people can 
dance freely and express themselves through music, our community and

Corner Store is a Pōneke based collective and a platform for local DJs 
and producers across any styles of electronic music, especially those on
 the fringes. Our events always have a live VJ and a focus on quality 
sound. We aim to create a safe, inclusive, and affordable environment 
for dancing and appreciating the full spectrum of electronic music, as 
well as hopefully opening people’s minds to more leftfield sounds. We’ve
 hosted gigs in venues across Wellington including Moon, b.Space, 
Heartbreaker & The Welsh Dragon (where it all started), and we’ve 
collaborated with the likes of Third Eye HiFi, Porcelain, Bella Mae, and
 the Pōneke Party Guardians on some of these events.


Founded by a core team of designer, VJ, and two producers (who all DJ 
too), we started as a platform for recorded mixes - before shifting 
focus in 2023 to hosting gigs, which we’ve done ever since. We’ve now 
become a record label as well. Our first release is ‘Reduction’ by 
Monday Sucks, a bouncy, minimal 4 track EP inspired by juke, footwork 
and jungle. Corner Store Records has more releases planned and is open 
to any music submissions at radiocornerstore@gmail.com

Underground


Kia ora koutou katoa,
Hori Inc. is a Māori-led organisation based in the Tasman region, 
dedicated to uplifting music and culture, especially underground 
hip-hop. We provide a platform for unheard artists to shine through live
 shows, workshops, and community outreach, creating spaces that heal, 
connect, and empower. Our founder's personal journey from depression to 
finding hope through music fuels our mission. Inspired by the lyric 
"Back painting these bars instead of painting my arms," Hori Inc. aims 
to create life rafts for artists, offering spaces where they are seen, 
heard, and valued. Hip-hop, often misunderstood, is a powerful tool for 
storytelling, healing, and expression. We fight the stigma, proving that
 underground rap is not a threat but a source of strength. Run by 
volunteers, Hori Inc. has thrived on passion, but rising costs threaten 
our closure. Losing Hori Inc. would silence emerging artists, disconnect
 youth from culture, and eliminate a vital space of belonging. We 
fundraise to cover venue hire, high-quality sound gear, artist 
promotion, and fair pay for local talent. and any support keeps the 
music alive, lifts our people, and carries our kaupapa forward. 
Ngā mihi nui,
Hori Inc.

The SYLC was founded in 2022 with the goal of pushing underground sounds

A bit about us: Hutt Collective began in 2021 when five friends from the
 Hutt Valley, all passionate about underground house music, decided to 
start DJing together. What started as a small venture quickly evolved 
into us running our own events across Wellington and now in Sydney too. 
We began with local artists and quickly move on to hosting international
 artists such as Josh Baker (UK), Per Hammar (SWE), Black Loops (ITA), 
Nate S.U (AUS), Clint (FRA), and Isaac Carter (UK), to name a few. Our 
events have been held at venues including Club121, Meow, San Fran, Ascot
 and are currently organising an outdoor event with TwoMinds in 
Wellington! No event is the same with us, we are always looking for the 
next artists to bring through to Wellington and have created a great 
community who share the passion in underground music the same way us 
guys do.

PUR is a Wellington-based techno collective dedicated to building an 
inclusive and connected underground culture in a city where techno is 
still emerging.


By curating events that centre around deep, minimal, and hypnotic 
techno, each PUR night is designed as a journey through sound and 
atmosphere — creating moments that connect people beyond the dance 
floor.


Our kaupapa is grounded in inclusivity, self-expression, and respect. We
 believe in the power of people coming together through sound and 
movement, and in fostering spaces where everyone feels welcome to be 
themselves.


PUR represents the evolving voice of Aotearoa techno — providing spaces 
that celebrate community, creativity, and individuality. We see 
ourselves as part of a growing movement, giving Wellington a stronger 
place within Aotearoa’s underground landscape and connecting it to the 
wider world.


Our goal is simple: to grow a scene for an audience that’s hungry for 
it, and to nurture a community that reflects the openness, creativity, 
and unity that make this place unique.
