WHO IS MIKE? WHAT IS BASS & BREAKS?

BASS & BREAKS

The first version began as a weekly radio show on Xpression FM in Exeter in 2002. In 2006, Mike moved to Bournemouth, joined Fire Radio's news team, and produced a Thursday mix show. In 2007, Aquasky passed their Friday 'bass music' show to Mike Swaine, leading to the current Bass & Breaks format. After graduating in 2009, Mike established Pulse Syndication to expand Bass & Breaks globally and on iTunes. The show now airs on over 80 stations worldwide, reaching an audience of over 4 million.
