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.

Artist Interview

...I am best known for dance music where I’ve played and been resident at some of the biggest brands for dance in the South West...

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

No worries, I guess I could sum myself up as DJ and Producer from the South West, originally from Hayle in Cornwall where I grew up although I now live in Plymouth. I’ve been DJing in clubs since I was 16 which was longer ago than I would like to recall! I play a multitude of genres but I am best known for dance music where I’ve played and been resident at some of the biggest brands for dance in the South West including the Dance Academy and Tranzaction.


At the risk of sounding cliché I don’t like to pigeon hole myself when it comes to music or my sound, music to me is either good or bad. You can catch me playing anything from house to trance to harder edged sounds. I love records with a lot of energy, a killer groove or a “slap you in the face” bassline. I’m not shy of a vocal either, you can’t beat standing on the dancefloor with your hands in the air singing along with everyone around you. Making those moments happen are what DJing is all about.

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?

2023 has been a fun year, there are a lot of highlights but I’d say the ones to note would be DJing at The Tidyland Weekender, bringing Tranzaction back to the South West, Cohesion events and the stand out shows at The Depo in Plymouth with Ben Nicky, Billy Gillies and more.


There are plenty of events lined up for the next 12 months already including Tranzaction returning to Plymouth for New Years Eve at Strobe Nightclub along with Cohesion at various venues across the South West. I’ve also been focussing on production over recent months and I have a number of new releases ready to launch so watch this space!

Don’t let perfection get in the way of progress.

Tell us something positive to inspire future artists.

Work hard, be persistent, don’t be disheartened when you get knocked back. Always be yourself, don’t follow the crowd, make and play music that comes from within. Don’t let perfection get in the way of progress. Have fun. Get drunk. Don’t forget the importance of sleep. Wear sunscreen.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.

I’ve tried to put together a bit of a journey for the Little South listeners. This mix is 90 minutes spanning multiple genres, building from house through to my harder edged sounds. Dance music seems to have gone full circle, back to the early 2000’s when it comes to the trancier sounds out there at the moment, and hard house is making a come back. I have a lot of time for this, and both are reflected in this mix.


Prepare for the usual up tempo high energy bangers you’ve come to expect from me. I hope everyone enjoys. Turn it up!
