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.

Boardmasters Festival in Newquay has announced that it will offer a drug testing service, following the lead of Bestival and MADE Festival in Birmingham.

The festival is working in partnership with Safer Cornwall, with support from Cornwall Council and the Devon and Cornwall Police.

The Loop will also be providing its MAST (Multi Agency Safety Testing) service at the festival for revellers to anonymously test their drugs.

A Boardmasters spokesman said: “As with anywhere in the UK, it is illegal to buy, sell or take drugs at Boardmasters. All drugs are potentially dangerous including new psychoactive substances (previously known as legal highs); there are no harmless drugs.”

In the past two years, there have been 11 drug-related deaths at UK festivals, including two at Portsmouth’s Mutiny Festival in May.

Cornwall's Boardmasters festival will take place from August 8th to 12th at Watergate Bay near Newquay, with artists The Chemical Brothers, Bicep and Denis Sulta playing across the weekend.
