In 2003 LQ relocated to Sydney where he continued to be involved in radio and also worked with the reggae collective Free Dem Sounds. From Sydney he went to London on a vinyl buying mission and became further absorbed by jungle and soundsystem culture before he returned to Christchurch NZ in 2006. LQ then became involved with a collective putting on a series of warehouse events called Bass Factory which showcased a blend of sound system music - dub, dubstep, dancehall and jungle. He has been a pioneering figure in the NZ dubstep scene and put together the first NZ dubstep mix-CD with J Red, entitled 'This is not the Christchurch Sound: Dubstep Edition' which was released by RDU 98.5FM. In 2006 LQ took over the running of the Metrobeatz radio show on RDU until his departure to Melbourne in 2011.
