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.

Artist Interview

I play various types of music although my preferred type is Techno...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

I'm Ste Ellis I live in Cornwall but I am originally from North Wales. I started DJing in the early 90's playing Hardcore and Jungle. I play various types of music although my preferred type is Techno anything from raw, peak to hard! I love all of it!

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

Highlights of the past year have been playing at the Wetback Events and being a Wetback DJ (Thank you Brett Wetback). I have also recently joined a local trance outfit 2MINDS who have released some fantastic music and played at Paul Clark's Bring The Noise. A huge thank you to Dan and Tracy for getting me involved.

Continuing with TECHNOPULSE alongside DJ CHOON bringing the best techno around and trying to help others with playing sets on online platforms has also been great this year with loads of new DJ's joining the group.

Good DJ's will always help and support one another...

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

New DJ's should play what they enjoy and not worry about what other dj's around them do. Good DJ's will always help and support one another regardless of an individuals music preference.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

My mix would be best described as RAVE TECHNO BASS. It is high energy, reverse bass, hardtechno with some slight hardstyle elements. I hope you all enjoy and thank you Little South for giving me an opportunity to play.
