For a few unforgettable years, South defined dance culture in the Southeast. It delivered world-class DJs and electric atmospheres every weekend.<\/p>\n

South built its reputation by booking the biggest names in electronic music. Legends like Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, Roger Sanchez and Sasha all played to packed dancefloors.<\/p>\n
