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.

Allen & Heath Drop Xone:96

Falmouth-based Audio Tech Firm Drop News Of Their Flagship Mixer

Allen & Heath have announced the Xone:96 mixer, the first major update to the Xone:92 since its release in 2003. As teased by DJ Mag last week , the update retains the 92's familiar layout while adding some modern features and extra performance functions to bring the mixer up to date with the requirements of modern DJ's.

The most obvious addition is the dual USB ports, allowing up to two DJs to connect directly to their computers for easy switch over and to use up to six channels from their DJ software via a single cable. Each of the two soundcards are 32-bit and can operate independently.

The other major new feature is a Crunch control, adding some harmonic distortion to the Xone's famous analogue filters. Elsewhere, there's a new three-band EQ for the booth output and you can now adjust the slope of the Xone's faders – finally!

The send and return options have also been upgraded with a master S/R adding to the four dedicated S/R channels. Interestingly there's also a 3.5mm 'Audio Sync Out' port which we assume is for use with Eurorack or any other 3.5mm compatible hardware. A&H have obviously listened to their main users and the Xone's focus on performance has been clearly influenced by the shift in how DJs are incorporating more studio-style techniques and hardware into their sets. It's clear too that Playdifferently's MODEL1 has had an influence with some of the features now showing up on the 96.

Pricing is expected to be £1,599 – no word yet on availability.
