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...
