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. We support DJs, Producers, and Vocalists of all genres within the electronic music landscape. If you are interested in being featured on our pages, we warmly welcome your expressions of interest.

Artist Interview

I play live events in Germany and across Europe...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

I am based in South Manchester and have been a DJ for over 25 years. I specialise in Underground Progressive House and focus on delivering musical journeys through my sets with detailed transitions and complex soundscapes. I am currently International Resident at the KASHAY SALON Artists / Events / Label Collective based in Dresden, Germany. I play live events in Germany and across Europe with my co-residents. I have also been resident on the UK's Beach Radio since 2020.

Alongside the live events and my radio shows, I specialise in global podcasts and have had mixes featured on the following channels over the last 18 months:

OMIDOX Hypnotic Podcast (Germany - Hamburg)

Fractal Architect's Depth Perception Sessions (UK - Bristol)

Melodic Beats Music (UK - Plymouth)

So What Radioshow (Canada - Quebec)

Tel Aviv Sunsets (Israel - Tel Aviv)

Melodic Deep (Holland - Amsterdam)

I am looking forward to more events in Germany, Sweden and elsewhere in Europe...

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?
Highlights of the last year include my continuing residency with KASHAY SALON and some fantastic events with my co-residents and international guests. In particular we had a superb event at Plan B Club in Malmo, Sweden earlier this year.

I have also worked closely with my good friend and Plymouth legend Tim French who has been my guest in Germany earlier this year and I am delighted that Tim will be playing with me again in September. I have also continued my great association with Paul Honey's Melodic Beats Music and recently provided a third mix for the podcast series. I am looking forward to more events in Germany, Sweden and elsewhere in Europe with KASHAY SALON over the next 12 months.

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

For any aspiring Artist I would encourage hard work, dedication and patience - with a focus on promoting high quality music there are definitely opportunities available!

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

The set I have prepared for Little South features some of my favourite progressive house tracks.

The mix is a musical journey from ambient organic vibes through to deep melodic progressive and underground club vibes towards the end. I really enjoyed preparing the set which I think showcases my style perfectly and hope that everyone enjoys listening to it!
