Latest News
About five more hours' worth of body-moving beats are in this week's update. Featuring a few tracks from Hocico, Tristesse De La Lune, Culture Kultur, and many others. Keep dancing so it all keeps spinning.
A few more hours' worth of delicious beats are now in rotation. Heavily featured are remixes, but we've also got singles from Bodycall and Solitary Experiments in the mix, and a few tracks from the venerable Die Krupps.
This week we're also presenting some amazing tracks from Frightdoll's new album Assimilation Illusion. If you've heard her debut Reference Version then this is something to check out; if you haven't, then what the hell are you waiting for?
As always, listen loud, listen often, spread the world. Be beautiful.
mirrorshades radio has now been added to the Nokia Internet Radio service. Anyone using a device that supports the service can search for mirrorshades radio and tune in, wherever they happen to be. Enjoy!
We're still here -- just having some issues with the server. Be beautiful -- we'll be back up and running shortly.
Update 2140 EST: We're back. Thanks to all for the emails and support. Enjoy the music and play it loud.
Couple more hours into rotation this week. Tracks from Assemblage 23 and Mechanical Moth are featured, along with remixes from VNV Nation, Rotersand, and several others. We're also introducing several tracks from Monody, whose work is reminiscent of Seabound in many ways. Keep an eye out for "Ceti Lullaby" in particular if you're at all into sci-fi, and see if you catch the sample faster than I did.
I caught the Imperative Reaction show in Atlanta along with :SITD: last Wednesday. If you haven't seen them, you really owe it to yourself to check them out if they're coming to an area near you. :SITD: trades off vocalists, which surprised me, but both had a lot of energy and were down on the floor with the audience half the time. Imperative Reaction put on a great show as expected, and used an acoustic drumkit, which is a nice touch in this genre. Watch for flying water -- that's my only warning.
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.
