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 specialise 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 Devon and 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 localised, 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.

Podcast Mix of the Year 2020

Danae B takes the crown for 'Podcast Mix of the Year 2020'.

There has been so many new and interesting Podcast Mixes in 2020 that have given us a lift during a particularly difficult year of Coronavirus lockdowns. We have seen artists such as DJ Ricardo bringing sunshine to some dark days, Alex Speller picking up the pace for those desperately seeking a dance floor fix and artists such as Cozzie Watt and Devinyl giving solid representation for the broken beats scene in the South West.

Deciding upon a single episode to capture our year of mixes has been so difficult, but ultimately we based our decision on the following areas: combined popularity across our main podcast providers, visitor feedback and page traffic in the first week of publish.

Danae B has taken the title for 2020 and her episode represented so much to our audience. Danae's Podcast Mix included tracks from Peggy Gou, David Penn, Purple Disco Machine and Claptone. The episode attracted comments such as "a mix fix fit for a lockdown" and "forgetting what I'm missing this summer it's all about the house party for 2."

2020 has also been a year of evaluation and growth for me. Having all of the amazing festivals and gigs that were lined up for me to play at being cancelled, it really made me evaluate where I am going on my musical journey.

Danae B - Congratulations on taking the title 'Podcast Mix of the Year 2020'!

Thank you so much! I am absolutley thrilled, such an unexpected surprise and such a positive note to finish a very uneasy 2020.

As it has been for everyone, 2020 has been an extremely challenging year. Quite honestly I found myself losing my mojo when it came to DJ'ing, which in the end has turned into a huge positive for me. Instead of researching and discovering only new house tracks, I've found myself listening to a really broad spectrum of genres of music, which has actually been incredibly inspirational.

2020 has also been a year of evaluation and growth for me. Having all of the amazing festivals and gigs that were lined up for me to play at being cancelled, it really made me evaluate where I am going on my musical journey. In turn I've begun my producing journey which has been incredible. I've definitely discovered the next chapter.

What are you most looking forward to in 2021?

cannot wait to get back on the wheels of steel and do what I love most! Getting people up and dancing, feeling their energy and watching them get lost in the moment. It is really a massive privilege to be able to share the gift of music with people.

I am also very excited about producing and will definitely have released my first track by around September time.

How will you be celebrating NYE to round off 2020?

I was supposed to be DJ'ing tonight, however with moving into Tier 3, those plans were quashed. So instead we have a fire lit, some fizz at the ready and I'm spending NYE 2020 with the loves of my life, my gorgeous boyfriend and beautiful girls.

Happy New year everyone!
