April 11, 2008

Several new hours' worth of new music are now in rotation, and I've been trimming out others, just for the variety, you understand. It's like polishing a jewel -- a little here, a little there. This week look for selections from Run Level Zero, XPQ-21 and remixes thereof, The Secret Meeting, and the ever beautiful Frightdoll. There are also a few tracks from Lorin Richards who sent me a few CDs and is worth checking out for anyone with an appreciation of literature. Listen and you'll see why.

Big thanks to Spain-based Legion for great aggressive industrial tracks, and for putting together the first official mirrorshades radio commercial. You guys rock.

Lots of old-school ebm in the works this time around -- Suicide Commando, Wumpscut, and Grendel, all featured among others, alongside plenty of more melodic tracks from the likes of Imperative Reaction and XPQ-21 and more. Enjoy.

So, sometimes I'm a little slower on the updates than usual, but you've had the music to keep you company, right? This week I've put a ton of singles into the mix. Some you're sure to recognize, like Combichrist (oh, how I miss Icon of Coil) and Razed in Black. Others may be new to you -- The Birthday Massacre and Daybehavior, to name a few.

If you've sent me material in the past two weeks or so, fear not -- I haven't forgotten you. Keep an eye on this space in the next few days for updates while I convert, rip, normalize, equalize, adjust, position, resample, upsample, tag, bag, molecularly pound and prod, and all the other things that go along with bringing music to the masses.

This rollout is mostly singles from all over, and I've tried to keep the focus on songs that are, either originally or by remix, heavy on female vocals. In a genre dominated by male singers, it's nice to get that variety. You may recognize Diskonnekted, Psyche, and of course Iris, among all the tracks currently making their way to the server.

I've been getting a huge influx of promotional music as well; thanks to all of you who have been sending me these albums and gear. I'll be unleashing a few at a time for your aural enjoyment. This week, keep an ear out for Mindless Faith's industrial electronic sound, and Endless Shame brings us synthpop that reminds me of some early Depeche Mode. More to come from more new artists in the next couple of days, so stay tuned.

By the time I'm done writing this, the latest updates should be uploaded and processed and integrated and all the rest. This week's rollout features Mechanical Moth and the oft-underappreciated Lights of Euphoria. If you happen to catch the track Consequence (Face Yourself), see if you think that's Ronan Harris on vocals, cause I sure do. Also, I just discovered Fiction 8, and added some of their songs into the mix as well; I'd never heard of them before but I wish I had.



Talk back!

  • If you or someone you know is an artist interested in getting exposure, email me at kitten@mirrorshades.org and we can talk about putting songs into the rotation. I'm always on the lookout for new synthpop, darkwave, industrial, or other gothic artists.
  • Questions, comments, criticisms, requests, accusations, allegations, reincarnations, vituperations, renumerations, compensations, and devaluations can also be directed to me by email. Let me know what you think.


Why this music?

This is music I enjoy. This is music that I find shapes moods. This music is what motivates me, what I listen to at work, in my car, what I dance to at the club. These genres tend to be moody, dark, but dancey and catchy, with thoughtful lyrics that explore aspects of the psyche sadly missing from many other forms of music.

I hope you find it enhances the mood of mirrorshades.org, or wherever you happen to listen to it.

So it was written, and came to pass, and today, you can listen at 96kpbs, ad-free, to hours and hours of non-repeating awesomeness. And please, keep tuning in -- more songs are added to the rotation on a semi-regular basis, with new releases, features, spotlights, and the occasional live broadcast right here from the mirrorshades.org studio.

Listen at work. Listen at home. Listen often. Tell your friends. But most of all, enjoy.

Welcome to mirrorshades radio.
