Artist Interview

We love big bass lines, funky beats, lots of remixes and bootlegs...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Hello we are husband and wife DJ duo Sophia & Paul Lowndes aka Soapi & Fondoo. Soph's style is more funky, electro, bass house style and Paul's is progressive, tech and old skool house vibes. When we play together, we cover everything from progressive, trance, house, electro, techno, hard dance, breaks and drum & bass. We love big bass lines, funky beats, lots of remixes and bootlegs... Everyone loves a sing-a-long! We just love music, so you will often find a rock n roll/RnB/garage re-work in one of our sets.

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

Winning the Fatboy Slim All back to Minehead DJ competition! Norm hand picked our mix out of the top three and chose us to open up the centre stage on Friday, at his All Back to Minehead Weekender at Butlins. We were featured on South Devon Radio, booked for the wonderful Magic Hat Stand (it was their last event in The Cavern, Exeter) That club holds many memories. We just played at Immunity Festival too, on the Escape stage (First Festival of the year!) and all three gigs just went off!

We are lucky enough to be able to inspire each other and we are surrounded by an awesome bunch of DJ friends...

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

Don't ever forget how it feels to be a raver/punter, play what you would want to hear on the dance floor!
