Je množstvo spôsobov, ako sa ľudia dostávajú k hudbe. V prvej polovici 90-tych rokov sa o ňu začal zaujímať aj Michal Breeth, no od začiatkov inklinoval najmä k tej elektronickej. Bolo to predovšetkým techno plné drivu, podbitých basov a nástupov privádzajúcich publikum do vytrženia. Obľuba u ľudí na seba nenechala dlho čakať. Výzva spojená s odchodom na austrálsky kontinent sa ukázala ako osožná, nielen na vybrúsenie svetového jazyka, ale aj hudby a nezabudnuteľných skúseností z miestnej hudobnej scény. Toto všetko po návrate zúročuje nielen ako DJ, ale aj ako guide nejednej DJskej hviezdy prichádzajúcej na Slovensko.

Za viac ako 7 rokov existencie sa stal program 4 Elements_FM hudobným majákom priaznivcov tanečnej hudby a zároveň vstupnou bránou v Slovenskom éteri pre nejednu svetovú djskú hviezdu, ktorých zoznam je už k dnešnému dňu naozaj veľmi dlhý.
Aj vďaka fúzii drivu a energie, ktorá je mu vlastná sa ocitá na tých najvyprofilovanejších slovenských eventoch. Čoskoro sa prichádzajú šance nielen na slovenských stagoch, ale aj v Maďarsku, Rakúsku, Českej republike, Poľsku alebo Španielsku, kde okrem mnohých iných robil spoločnosť pánom ako Paul van Dyk, David Guetta, Benny Benassi, Eric Prydz a iní.
Veľkého úspechu sa dočkala v roku 2007 predovšetkým jeho promo kompilácia Sound of Jagermeister, ktorá vyšla v náklade 15000 kusov a bola tiež prílohou najvplyvnejšieho hudobného magazínu v Českej a Slovenskej republike X Mag.

V druhej polovici roka 2010 zakladá so svojimi producentskými kamarátmi vydavateľstvo Oneway Records, ktoré už medzi časom vydalo tituly ako jeho vlastné, tak i množstva slovenských a zahraničných producentov.
Toto napredovanie prinieslo svoje ovocie aj počas roka 2011, kedy hral Michal na najprestížnejších festivaloch v strednej Európe.
