Here's a quick bio from upcomer Mike Swells:

Below the surface of the dance music industry, a saturation of otherwise unknown DJs are constantly vying for recognition. The competition is undeniable, and often creates schisms amongst the very people who should be working together to keep the music moving forward. Fully aware of this fact, Mike Swells emerged on the Boston scene as a face in the crowd supporting house music nights throughout the city. After so many late nights in clubs, lounges, and other mischievous after-hours gatherings, Swells eventually became a familiar fixture of the Beantown crew. Once he was sure that his commitment to his hometown's EDM scene, as well as the DJs behind it, could not be questioned, he started asking his friends for deck time. Before long, Swells was regularly serving up 5 hour sets downstairs at Rise, Boston's only after-hours nightclub. Playing extended sessions to a musically discerning crowd has allowed him to develop a sound that encompasses many subgenres of proper dance music over the course of a night; sometimes spacey, often funky, always flowing deftly onward. He is excited to bring for the first time his own unique and positive element to Perceptions on Proton Radio.
