We explore the thoughts of artists and music sharing. In today's digital age, discovering new music has become more accessible than ever due to online platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, and download services such as Beatport. While traditional methods of exploring music, such as visiting record shops, have diminished in popularity, the process of musical exploration remains significant and enriching, especially when one encounters a standout track. For performing artists, the quest for fresh music is a continuous endeavor, often regarded as equally important as the performance itself. This raises an interesting question: is it appropriate for artists to keep the details of their music sources confidential? This topic invites further discussion from some of the South West DJs and producers on the nature of music discovery in the modern landscape.

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.
