Hey :)

Just wondered whether there were many Kiwi Bluelighters on here and whether they knew much about Wellington parties (d&b, hardcore, hardhouse, psy etc..).

Moving from the UK to Wellington in december :)

cheers!
 
There are quite a few, though they're not always in this particular forum (and I'm not one of them :p) you might have some luck asking in the music sections.
 
I typically defer all NZ related questions to Busty. His lack of response to this question though may be an indication to the quality of the Wellington scene.

I'll give this one another week though to see if you get any more responses
 
I don't think the Psy scene is massive over there but there are a few bush type parties.

I had a mate move over to Auckland a few months ago and he's disappointed in the lack of decent parties, anywhere!

I think you'll have a better chance of finding out about stuff once you're over there; knowing where to look, checking on facebook, that kind of thing

That's because NZ is the home of Dub n Reggae and they don't tolerate that noise called psytrance. ;)

From what I can gather it is pretty close knit community, who you know type of thing. There is still a level of underground from what I have heard. KiwiBurn is a large, more mainstream (well sort of) party every January.

Massive is one production crew I have heard about who run a party every few months or so.

Edit: none of these are in Wellington
 
Massive raves are pretty good, but they are all around Christchurch. They're held at summer and winter soulstices and spring/autumn equinox. By December Christchurch might be livable, I'd suggest avoiding it right now though, the ground is shaking as I type this...

AHEM... I do believe it is mislabled and is actually an australasian forum.

But anyway..i am currently located in wellington and can furnish you with information if you still desire such.
 
I grew up in Wellington, Lower Hutt actually and I can't recall ever going to any event as listed above. This was 10+ years ago mind you and I was never very cool anyway.

However I did go to plenty of Metallica parties and was part of a huge WEED scene back in the day. That is just the type of place it is. Or was....

Proper drugs were freaking expensive and no one I knew took them anyway, including me. However when the OTC party pills (bzp) came about I noticed EVERYONE was taking them when heading out into town and as such the type of music everyone enjoyed changed. I'm sure it is entirely possible there is a lively scene happening but unfortunately I can't help you!

/Boring Story.
 
^ Hutt City represent! I was born and raised in Lower Hutt too. :)

Can't really comment on the Wellington scene, as I now live further north, dividing my time between Auckland and Waikato. Wellington is a very artsy/alternative city, so I'm sure there's a lot happening though. Shouldn't be too hard to find something.
 
moved to welly few months ago. they get some fairly decent international gigs here. hit up sandwiches and few others. check out summerset this weekend! dizze bassnectar etc hit me up for dets
