About this listen

DJ Bass For nearly a decade, DJ Bass has been dropping sets as diverse as the crowds on his dancefloors. With a steady gig schedule in Toronto, around Canada and, most recently, in Trinidad, his repertoire spans hip-hop, dancehall, reggae, soca, EDM, house and beyond. DJ Bass balances his time between his weekly radio show Island Breeze on 89.5FM, his own production work and collaborations, as well as regular DJ mix releases. Island Breeze has played host to countless local and international guests over the years and is one of Toronto's best, long running Caribbean broadcasts. facebook.com/deejaybass

Island Breeze is a weekly Soca and Caribbean music radio show and Soca podcast hosted by DJ Bass and DJ Revz, airing Saturdays from 8–9 PM on CIUT 89.5 FM in Toronto.
