Ōtautahi Sound System Culture Documentary

[@coastalsanctuary]

A good representation of Christchurch soundsystem culture as it stands. I liked that it was briefly touched on about lack of venues, and noise complaints. That was quite a curve ball but very relevant in the post-EQ environment.

Originally the sound systems played R&B from the states. Coxson used to take trip to the states to buy records.

Is there still a scene like this in Christchurch? I am from Australia and here for the weekend. Attend and organise warehouse parties in my home town so keen to see what it up.

What that dude talking about that it wasn’t big speaker box until it’s in UK??!! Who told him that!?

[@joaovillardequeirozneto3846]

He is corrected by the narrator who saus that in fact it was just a matter of technology that evolved from the 50’s small boxes to big stacks. But who knows about 70s and 80s dances in Kingstown knows that he is not right in saying that.

@@gabrielcalcott6340 you think you slick! I’m talking about speaker box now you talking 8 scoop! Scoop wasn’t the important part of Soundsystem before it became easy with the transistors they focus was on mid-range speaker ,frequency etc and to show they have that skills to build a speaker one needs to have an understanding of electricity.The change for a larger speaker box in the 1950s was ”The House of Joy” speaker end up becoming the standard in those time.

@@gabrielcalcott6340 You said “They make use with what they had” no! They make changes with what they had to something better. They are innovators and inventors don’t look down on them as a no thinker and simple minded ppl.

@@gabrielcalcott6340 I might give a little information,but Documentary! That’s not an easy reach for me! The closest I can get for now to show my appreciation is my Board game “Songklash” that’s base on Soundsystem which I’m planning to relaunch again.
