WORK HARD, PLAY HARDER

If you are in the position to pay a little bit extra, you will be directly supporting the electronic music industry in New Zealand and increasing the chances that promoters like us can continue to run events like Local Motion. It is currently very hard to sustain an underground events company like this, with very low success rates, so we are giving our more affluent patrons the opportunity to change this trend and bring direct joy to the community.

We appreciate your generosity and will keep you updated on our progress.

Has house music played a big, positive, role in your life? 

For us, it has! So much so that we have taken the initiative and financial risk required in order to bring more house music to the community in the hopes of giving others the opportunity to experience the wonders of house music.

**Why Local Motion?** 

Local Motion stands for more than music—it’s about putting in the effort to provide a platform for sonic artists as much as possible from underrepresented communities (females, POC, LGBTQ+), supporting local businesses, and elevating creative culture. Here, we care about real art and real people. Everyone is welcome—just bring your good energy and respect for our creative sanctuary and for all those around you.

 

**Ready to move?** 

Secure your spot, gather your crew, and let Local Motion deliver the kind of night the Christchurch dance scene deserves. 

We’ll handle the details—just come as you are.
