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

All I know is, people want to be together, dance and enjoy themselves...

Hi, what a year! What's new?

Thanks for having me back again. Well, here we are, still in a kind of Lockdown, no real idea of when we can get on the dance floor again! Hopefully, it will be sooner rather than later! I have been super busy since we spoke last, as Cozzie & I are expecting our baby at the end of July.

Event wise, the South West has not had it easy, and a spike in Covid cases after the G7 has left a sour taste in the County.

Our community has by far and away had the most negative impact from Covid, and if we are honest, the UK Govt doesn't appear to value us as much as you may have thought.

All I know is, people want to be together, dance and enjoy themselves, it is one our most primal urges. Let's hope things get better soon, as we are all only here once.

Tell us about your fundraising cause.

Before I talk about the mix, I wanted to highlight something that has happened to one of my best mates. Jay Day (DJ Re:Defeat) is the founder of Code Red, Newquay. He was responsible for running weekly Drum & Bass nights in Newquay for over 12 years.

As a team, we won the Best DNB Night at the SW DNB Awards, we have travelled overseas to DJ, and we did all of this with a huge smile on our faces. Without Jay, I wouldn't be the DJ I am today.

Jay has been diagnosed with Cancer, and as his friend, I wanted to do something for him and his 13 year old daughter, Tia. So, the local community has been donating to his Justgiving page, as we want to send them on a trip of a lifetime to EuroDisney. We had an initial target of £5k, so far, the pot is nearly £10k.

It goes to show the impact this guy has had on those that know him. If you can help, please do, here is the link.

...I have again gone with newer unsigned artists...

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

So, onto the mix. For this one, I have again gone with newer unsigned artists as a feature, playing only a few mainstream tunes. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did recording it.
