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.

What the organisers say

We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Andy Cato and Tom Findlay aka the iconic Groove Armada as our third Rock Oyster headliner. They’ll be playing a a showstopping DJ set of their classic chart-topping tunes! We see ya baby, shakin' that ass.

It’s (somehow) 25 years since Groove Armada dropped their debut before going on to become one of the most successful dance acts of all time, we can't think of a better act to kick start the biggest party of the Summer!

We’re super excited to welcome British reggae and pop singer HOLLIE COOK. VC PINES (Violet Coloured Pines) aka Jack Mercer brings his smart, articulate alt-soul to the banks of the Camel Estuary. And fresh from an extensive support tour with Dermot Kennedy, we’re super excited to welcome ZOLA COURTNEY.

Also joining the party are festival faves DR MEAKER, LAND OF THE GIANTS, FERRIS & SYLVESTER and THE SCRIBES. It’s looking like a great party! If that wasn't enough, we've also added TOM JENKINS, THE ROYSTON CLUB, JACK BOTTS and PATTERN PUSHER.

We’d suggest having a little mooch over to the Rock Oyster website and getting to know all our musical guests a little better!
