Artist Interview

I now enjoy playing the deeper, long edits of tracks to build a session.

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Hi, I'm Matt Exelby and I used to play house music parties across the South West and European resorts. I've not played out for a little while (my other work gets in the way) but have never lost my love for all things dance music. My DJ sound has matured over the years and I now enjoy playing the deeper, long edits of tracks to build a session. This is something I used to enjoy when playing warm up sets at events - taking a crowd from zero to the full dance floor and really building a set.

...it still gives me tingles when it all marries up perfectly.

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?

Behind the scenes I have been orchestrating Little South and working hard with the South West's promoters to ensure that we support the South West dance music scene as much as possible. Little South has a team of contributors and event promoters that scour the South West scene to highlight the best artists and events no matter how big or small.

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

If something you want isn't available, create it yourself - this is exactly why Little South was created.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

This mix is full of tracks that I love right now. The deeper sounds that take you through a moment where you can keep a mix running to introduce new sounds - it still gives me tingles when it all marries up perfectly. Some of you will recognise tracks from Skepta, Bob Sinclar, Guy Gerber and Harry Romero among the set list. I loved making this podcast mix and I hope you enjoy listening to it!
