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.

Artist Interview

"Lockdown has affected us all but for me it’s a nice little break from DJing and promoting. I’ve swapped DJing for gardening and been keeping busy outdoors. "

Hi Rick, very much a different world we are living in since your last podcast mix for us. What have you been up to?

Hi Little South, thanks for having me back. Yeah, it certainly is a different world; I’ve swapped DJing for gardening and been keeping busy outdoors.

Have you been mixing at home?

A little, I bought a Pioneer XDJ controller earlier this year, something different for me, but I haven’t got to grips with it yet. Lockdown has affected us all but for me it’s a nice little break from DJing and promoting.

What has kept you entertained through the lockdown?

My dog keeps me entertained – she’s a Welsh Collie and full of energy, I’ve also been re-reading Sven Hassel books I enjoyed as a kid and, as always, listening to Rodigan, Leroy, and Cozzie.

Talk us through your podcast tune selection.

More of the same but different. I play as much new music as I can but I’ve thrown in a couple of classics this time, uplifting Reggae Vibes for sunny evenings and BBQs.
