Passion Radio

Passion Radio is a specialist dance music station whose presented programmes draw on both current club culture and earlier dancefloor favourites. Its schedule gives space to DJ selections and longer mixes, allowing individual hosts to establish a musical direction. House, disco and funk are among the recurring sounds, with club memories also forming part of the audience's connection to the station.

Named programmes include Sun:Sets, Release Yourself and Hed Kandi. Each brings a particular approach to selection and presentation, ranging from more atmospheric music to the energy of a mix built for dancing. The presence of established DJ-led series gives Passion a programme identity extending beyond the records heard between those features.

Chicane, the recording identity of Nick Bracegirdle, hosts Sun:Sets, bringing the perspective of the producer behind Offshore and Saltwater. Roger Sanchez's Release Yourself connects the schedule with a DJ career rooted in New York and developed through club residencies and international performances. Mark Doyle supplies Hed Kandi's mixture of funk, disco and house. Their contrasting musical backgrounds help explain the changes of mood between the station's established specialist series.

The Clubber's Breakfast invites requests linked with listeners' own clubbing experiences, adding a participatory strand to the specialist output. The station also publishes coverage of dance music and nightlife, including developments affecting venues and events. Operated by Southdown Media, Passion combines that editorial interest with a continuing broadcast centred on dance music.
