Artist Interview
My musical style is characterised by warm house music...
Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.
Between 2000 and 2010, I was heavily involved in the house music scene at various bars and clubs in the South West. However, due to the demands of my day job, I was unable to perform as frequently as I desired. As a result, I shifted my focus from playing live events to event promotion, which led to the creation of Little South. My musical style is characterised by warm house music, infused with elements of nostalgic late 90s trance.
...Ben Hemsley - this guy seems to have captured much of the warm late 90s trance sound in his recent releases.
Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.
If you enjoy doing something, keep doing it and surround yourself with like-minded people. It is ok to change direction and adapt.
What artists have inspired your DJ style?
I would say inspirational artists definitely started off with Pete Tong and Norman Cook. Artists over the years that I follow include Chicane, Joris Voorn, LP Giobbi, Lane 8, TSHA, Franky Wah and Ben Hemsley - this guy seems to have captured much of the warm late 90s trance sound in his recent releases.
Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.
This house music mix was fun to record and I wanted to include some of the warm trance-like sounds that seem to be making a return this year. I have included tracks from Franky Wah, LP Giobbi, Notre Dame, Enertia-Sound and Sasha.
