Stu Tones loves throwing great parties and playing quality dance music. Stu started clubbing in London at the end of the 90s where he found a great passion for all sorts of electronic music and has been DJing house, electro, techno and trance since the early noughties. Stu, like many, lost touch with the clubbing scene to focus on work and family for a number of years but lockdown parties reignited his love for DJing and hosting events. Realising he is not alone in this renaissance was a driving force in creating House of the South to share and bring people back to a scene that was so formative in our lives.

House of the South resident DJ, AL-X-D loves to entertain us with his dedication and loyalty to all things banging beats! Pumping out Tech House and cheekily squeezing in a mainstage techno track or 2, AL-X-D strives to keep the sound truly ‘underground’.

As a teenager in the 90’s, Alex surrounded himself in the rave scene sound, endless collecting CD’s and vinyl which all had that undertone of a ‘banging beat’ with genres spanning from trance to techno to hard house and all sub genres in between!

Kris started DJing as a teen in the late 90s inspired by the legendary trance DJs of the time and the birth of the Euphoric trance album releases. His passion has always been for the energetic side of dance music, but having later taken residency at a cocktail bar in Ashley Cross, he found success and a love for mixing a variety of deep, tech and funky house tracks.

Proud to be representing the House of the South, you'll be seeing him mix a variety of genres, early or late, and will be sure to get the crowd moving.

A love of music from jazz to rock to house influences the music that reaches Andy’s setlists. Depending on the time of night (or day) Andy plays a blend of melodic and progressive house, taking listeners on smooth rollercoaster journeys that drift and uplift.

After failing to learn guitar Andy got into DJing during lockdown when he realised we’d need to party once out, pulling off a now legendary house party that was heard through half of Southbourne. It was at this point he realised he had a desire to to share music and play tunes to make people move.

Musically he’s influenced by the likes of Cristoph, Franky Wah, Claptone, Sultan + Shepard, Lane 8, Tinlicker, Kamilo Sanclemente, Marsh, Julian Nates & Simon Doty. Expect new releases, some recent classics and occasional reworks of old school classics.

My cousin got me in to DJing who would go out raving to many events and I'd listen to his tape packs and said I want to do this after watching videos of events like Fantazia, Obsession and fusion back in the begin 89-90 era. I was only 10 when I first put vinyl to deck. Favourite genres is a tough one as I like so many and range in different tempo/speed. I love all things 90s and vinyl as that's where it all began for me playing vinyl, (Hardcore, trance, house) but obviously we have to move on with the times so my favourite styles to mix currently are Hard Dance, Techno and Tech House.

I like to try and incorporate many genres into one set as there’s so much good music out there and I like to be versatile...... Biggest influences for me, definitely Carl Cox hands down. And if there was anyone in the world I'd love to do a b2b with it would be him 1000% . Other influences include BK, Rob Tissera after doing the Lisa lashes school of music with them as mentors. Amazing experience and learnt so much more from them.

Memorable DJ story, I think the whole 32 year journey has been and is still memorable to me and I still pinch myself sometimes at what I've achieved over the years both here in the UK and other countries. Memorable gigs include main stage opera house, playing Ministry of Sound in 2018, playing out in Australia in 2012 for Kontiki yacht party's on the WhitSundays at Daydream Island and then playing at the full moon party in Thailand's Ko Pha Ngan in 2012. So many great memories made and plenty more to come hopefully these next coming years.

Radio1's Essential Mix kick-started Pedro's addiction to multi genre underground Dance Music in the mid nineties. After moving to Southampton in '96 he found himself making a natural progression into Djing, carefully crafting mixes for home listening and getting people dancing in the Student PubClub, hometown venues and south west Forest & London Warehouse Parties at every opportunity over the following 10 years.
Fast forward to the 2020's and spare time during Covid, the buzz was reborn, with a jump into the digital music world, the need to share amazing musical finds led him to seek out a professional outfit to perform with; the exciting House of the South team. With his appearances you may hear anything from a thoughtful Deep House set, unashamedly butt-wiggling Funkiness, euphoric Trance to a pounding Techno journey and fusions of all kinds of genres in-between.
If you like the underground sound, Pedro will entertain you.

Growing up, Dori Mack loved music and dance and as a child, joined a choir and attended dance school with dreams of being a Butlins redcoat. Sadly illness put a stop to her dreams taking her on a path of poor life choices and away from her love of music. Thankfully, Dori Mack managed to turn her life around and rediscovered her passion for music, immersing herself once more going to live gigs, discos and festivals and realised this is the world where she belonged. Dori Mack decided it was time to pick up her dreams again and started up her own entertainment business, Psyche Entertainment. This gave her confidence to get out in the world, be more social and attend raves. Then one day in April 2023, she walked into a DJ shop and didn’t look back – DJ Dori Mack was born.

Her favourite genres to DJ are House, Hard House, Techno and Trance and names House of the South DJs Kaylene Sc@r, Darren Squires, Brian Holt and Wayne Chant among her biggest inspirations.

Matt has been passionate about electronic dance music since he was 13 years-old. His sound has evolved over the years and from the moment he got his first set of Numark belt drive decks when he was 17, he has never looked back.

He has DJ'd at numerous events and clubs in both Asia and the UK where he has perfected the art of building the perfect atmosphere for any venue. He produces a lot of his own mash-ups which you'll often hear in his sets. Matt will be welcoming us all to the Nexus dancefloor on Friday, 4 October with a Soulful House set.

Loving all genres of house and trance and now finally back in clubs mixing the music he loves.

Spykz began his journey into electronic music in 1990 after attending the iconic Pepperbox Hill Free Rave, an experience that inspired him to invest in a pair of Technics 1210s and learn the art of DJing through vinyl and dedication.

By the mid-90s, he was deeply immersed in the South Coast rave and hardcore scene, developing his skills and musical identity through crate-digging, mixtape culture, and countless hours behind the decks. These formative years laid the foundation for his focus on flow, energy, and musical storytelling.

Today, Spykz is an experienced and versatile DJ with a strong connection to the trance and techno spectrum. His sound ranges from euphoric and psytrance to acid and hard trance, with influences from happy hardcore, house, hard techno, and drum & bass. Known for his thoughtful track selection and occasional nostalgic surprises, his sets balance past and future with precision.

Now embracing digital technology while staying true to his vinyl roots, Spykz brings decades of passion, experience, and authenticity to House of Trance, delivering energetic and immersive performances for every audience.

I started djing when I was 18, 32 years ago. Just so I could do some tapes for me and my mates to listen to with all our favourite tunes on. I love mixing all types of dance music genres. I've played DnB, rave breaks, hardcore, garage, hard house, house, hard trance, and trance at various clubs up and down the south coast, but my favourite genres to play are hard house, hard trance and trance.

My favourite DJ until recently had been DJ Sy. I would have loved going b2b with him back in the day. I played just before Sy for Rampant at Bliss Southampton for a packed out club. That was an amazing night! I'm really excited to be playing at House of Trance! The atmosphere is simply electric with the most friendly and up for it crowd, playing my favourite music!
