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

...disco inspired house music.

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

My name is Ben Holtam, aka DJ BenG.

Describe your DJ sound.

I play funky, soulful, disco inspired house music.

...I am very proud of the work that I have put in on this one.

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

A few years back, I produced a weekly radio show & podcast which I would send out to various radio stations around the globe but gave that up when it got a little too much. It was a big commitment & I found it tough to keep it up so I gave it up & took a break.

Now, I produce mixes as often as I can & post them to my music pages & also send out guest mixes to anyone who asks. This is now my fourth mix for Little South & I am very proud of the work that I have put in on this one.

A close up of a man 's face with a beard

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

I wanted a bit more of an uptempo vibe to this mix, something that would listen to pre-club or in a late night bar. The tracks I have selected are all pretty new & current which is mostly how I like to play in my mixes. I like to keep the music bang up to date & also include tracklistings to help support & promote the artists & labels.

This isn’t always the case, sometimes to throw in a re-edit or a classic (as I have here) to finish things off.

My plans are to continue to put out new mixes for both my own pages or for guest slots & I am always open to playing out & about so give me a shout if you like my sound.
