    • Our events are a musical journey, blending old and new to appeal to both seasoned ravers and new listeners.

  4. Sustainability

  5. Support for Emerging Talent

    • We provide opportunities for new and upcoming DJs to perform in front of a crowd and for new producers to share and test their creativity.

    • Our nights feature a mix of familiar and new music, ensuring a journey through different types of house music and beyond to keep the night interesting.

  6. Mutual Support

    • Our DJs are more than performers; they are part of the crowd, dancing for other DJs, promoting the nights, and sharing the love.

What We Are Not

  1. Not Exclusive or Elitist

    • We are not a niche, avant-garde event that appeals to only a small number of people.

    • We are not about being 'cool' or needing to look a certain way to fit in.

  2. Not Profit-Driven

    • Our goal is not to make money but to cover our costs and ensure our members enjoy themselves without breaking the bank.

What to expect

  1. House Music Focussed

    • Our primary focus is on house music. Occasionally, we might feature techno, trance, or hard house, especially in the last set or on special nights.

  2. Community and Atmosphere

    • Our events are characterized by a happy, feel-good atmosphere where people can dance, meet new friends, and share positive energy.

    • We value friendliness, smiling faces, and engaged interactions between DJs and the dance floor.

  3. Accessibility and Openness

    • Our events are accessible and open, ensuring everyone feels welcome and accepted.

  4. Diverse and Engaging Music

    • We aim for a mix of new and familiar music, avoiding overly mainstream tracks while keeping the dance floor engaged.

  5. Agreeable Event Times

    • We create agreeable event times allowing everyone to reconnect with their love for dancing despite life’s commitments.

  6. Cost-Effective and Passion-Driven

    • Our events remain low-cost or free, driven by our love for music, dancing, and community, not by profit.

Goals

  1. ​Growth

    • We aspire to be invited to play at festivals and outdoor events, expanding our reach and getting more people dancing again.

    • We aim to be invited as guest DJs to other events, broadening the House of the South reach, helping grow other brands, and building partnerships and collaborations.

  2. Positive Vibes

    • We are dedicated to maintaining a positive vibe where people can be themselves, fostering a safe, welcoming space for like-minded individuals to connect.

By remembering these principles, House of the South aims to create unforgettable nights that are inclusive, supportive, and filled with positive energy. Celebrating the spirit of music and community!
