Little South is where the artists come to play - created with the goal of supporting and promoting local DJs and Producers in West Cornwall, UK, who specialize in various genres of dance music. The enthusiastic response from the Cornish nightlife community was overwhelming, allowing Little South to become a crucial platform for local artists seeking exposure at events. As time went on, our reach expanded beyond Cornwall and encompassed artists and events from across the entire South West of England, UK. One of our defining features has been the opportunity to showcase DJ mixes through our podcast series. Since our establishment, we have actively published podcast mixes from some of the most talented DJs in the South West. These mixes serve as a testament to the exceptional skills and creativity of our region's DJs, providing a platform for them to showcase their talent to a wider audience.

At Little South, we have a strong commitment to nurturing nightlife and live music events. A crucial aspect of our work is event promotion, which we prioritize and strive to excel at. Our dedicated team actively seeks out localized, independent music events to showcase and promote. Additionally, we proudly provide a platform for major events happening throughout the South West region, including specialist music festivals and large capacity live music events. By actively supporting and promoting these events, we aim to contribute to a thriving music scene and ensure that both local artists and established acts receive the recognition they deserve.

The Little South pages serve as a platform for emerging musical talent in the South West of England. Our goal is to encourage, foster relationships, and provide opportunities for new artists to showcase their sounds and events.

Artist Interview

I play a variety of genres and just appreciate good music...

Hi, Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ life.

In the earlier days I have played all over the UK including many times at Ministry of Sound in London, I’ve also been lucky enough to play various gigs in Florida USA, Croatia and graced the decks in Eden Ibiza and the legendary terrace at Space Ibiza before it closed.

Describe your DJ sound.

I don’t like to be pigeon holed to one sound. I play a variety of genres and just appreciate good music no matter what genre. But my main sounds are tech house, progressive & trance

...I've still been working all through lockdown the best I could even with most clubs being closed around the world.

Tell us how you have kept busy during the last year or so of lockdowns.

Well aside from DJ life I actually work as a lead agent at one of the biggest DJ agencies worldwide. We look after well known artists like ATB, Sander van Doorn, Mauro Picotto, Eddie Halliwell, Seb Fontaine, Tall Paul & many more. So I've still been working all through lockdown the best I could even with most clubs being closed around the world.

Talk us through this podcast episode and why you have chosen to include the tracks that have made the cut.

Well to be honest it’s the first mix ive done in some time (mainly due to the Pioneer shortage during the pandemic and waiting for my new equipment) so I wanted to showcase a variety of styles and some of my favourite tracks right now.
