DJ wattsson
Wattsson brings a signature blend of lush grooves, hypnotic synths, and authentic artistry—a journey celebrated at NZ’s biggest festivals. Immerse yourself in music carefully curated for connection and joy.
DJ Cyril Orson
Cyril Orson has been shaping underground house and techno for decades, from France to his long-time home in Auckland.
A festival favourite and club mainstay, he’s played alongside some of the biggest names and collaborated as part of COMMUNICATE, TTOTO, and Triangle & TDA. He’s also the driving force behind iconic nights Sonik Tonik and Ooh La La, and co-runs the new label XCOMMUNICATE.
Cyril played alongside Wattsson at the inaugural Local Motion back in 2021, and now returns with the boundary-pushing sound that’s made him one of NZ’s most respected underground DJs. He is the perfect DJ to join me in delivering the unique Local Motion sound.
