It’s hard to put into words the impact Neck of the Woods has had on Auckland’s music community.

For years, it has been far more than just a venue. It has been a platform for emerging artists, a home for underground culture, a place for communities to gather, and a space where countless musicians, promoters, creatives, and music lovers have found opportunities to grow.

Having spent many years working within those walls before moving on to my current role, I’ve seen firsthand the passion, dedication, and care that went into building something so important for our city.

Neck of the Woods wasn’t just a venue; it became part of the cultural fabric of Auckland, helping shape the sound, spirit, and community of our city for more than a decade.

The loss of any independent music venue is felt across the entire industry, and Neck of the Woods leaves behind a legacy that has touched thousands of people over the years.

On behalf of The Mothership, we want to thank the entire Neck of the Woods team - past and present - for everything they have contributed to Auckland music.

The impact you’ve made will be felt for a long time to come.

Arohanui,
Courtnee 🫶

HOUSE OF BOOKER - SAT JUNE 20

It’s been a while since the last House of Booker… as a matter of fact, it was in Wellington late last year. So mid-winter feels like a great time to revive the concept: This time we’re taking it to The Mothership! I loved the vibe and sound system so much when we hosted Alton Miller earlier this year - it felt like a natural step to run a House of Booker night there, and I’ve invited one of my very favourite DJs to play alongside me: Rose Alice! She absolutely smashed it last year for House of Booker at Double Whammy, so it feels only right to invite her along once again to share her unique blend of soulful, uplifting, heavyweight dance music! Join us: There will be Disco - There will be Boogie – There will be Broken Beat - There will be Garage and House. There will be a red light - there will be a smoke machine and there will be a disco ball.

XCOMMUNICATE - FRI JUNE 19

We’re hitting up on June 19 with our talented sister in beats, , for another floor-shaking XCOMMUNICATE. Tickets are on sale now (link in our bio), get in and join us for a night of sublime sound.

The formidable powerhouse duo COMMUNICATE bring their clubnight, XCOMMUNICATE, to The Mothership in June.

Known for their long sets that incorporate decades of sound, .orson and have been punishing dance floors across Aotearoa since they joined forces almost 4 years ago. They’ve also launched their label, XCOMMUNICATE RECORDS, and their second EP is about to be released. With no plans to stop this train any time soon, they are pulling up at The Mothership on June 19 for a journey through sound.

Usually XCOMMUNICATE is a six hour adventure though decades and sonic realms, however as Heylady is still recovering from burnout they’ve roped in one of their good friends, the amazingly talented LittleWild, to join them as they lay down four hours of four to the floor.

LittleWild is a Tāmaki Makaurau based selector who has been making waves cross NZ. Known for her fierce sets that light up the dancefloor, she is tuned in, slick and knows how to hold the floor just right. You are all in for a late-night treat as she takes you through to close.

We recommend arriving early as there are no warm-up DJs, it’s straight in to the COMMUNICATE universe from the first beat.

IMPORTANT INFO:
Our event is a safe space for all. If you or someone you know is feeling unsafe or harassed, please approach one of the DJs or bar staff. If you are behaving badly and impacting others ability to have a good time safely, you will be removed. Please act with respect and care for your fellow attendees at all times, no means no and this goes for conversations as well as more intimate requests.
