Ōtautahi Sound System Culture Documentary

Sound Systems have played a pivotal role in the development of music globally. From hip-hop to punk, grime to garage. Sound Systems are tied up in the story of every music culture.

The impact on musicians, DJs, and punters right here in Ōtautahi has been felt for decades and has furthered the development of music in our city, powered by hard work, passion, and innovation.

Ōtautahi Sound System Culture is a short documentary filmed by RDU 98.5FM that explores the people, history, and construction of Ōtautahi’s rich sound system culture. From the role of the sound system operator to the variety of experiences on the dance floor.
