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. 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.

Soapi & Fondoo

We're excited to shine the spotlight on this party hard husband and wife DJ duo Soapi & Fondoo, whose energy and house party sound have been entertaining dance floors across the South West. Their vibrant blend of old skool beats and classic melodies brings a sense of joy and excitement that is guaranteed to set the tone for an unforgettable summer celebration. During our catch up with them, we discovered that their talent caught the attention of none other than Norman Cook, who selected them to perform at his prestigious All Back To Minehead event. This recognition is a testament to their passion for a party, and we can't wait to see where their journey takes them next.

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!
