Radio Arcane is the endeavor of a few ambitious Dark Music Specialists headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky.
We host events, live music and a curated, nighttime oddities and art market known locally as The Dark Market.
From hosting Louisville’s longest running gothic events, we’ve accumulated so much music over the years, we started this streaming radio service.

Our primary focus is a love for what we describe as “Dark Eclectic Music” involving a variety of sounds, to include Gothic Rock, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Industrial, EBM, Coldwave, Synthwave, Synthpop, Dark Folk, New Wave, Minimal, New Romantic and other related genres.

Please follow us or subscribe to our social media and streaming sites for continuous content and updates on happenings, performances and events.

The Kentucky Vampires are an unapologetically Gothic Rock band with roots in the city of Louisville, Kentucky.

They deliver eloquent lyrics and dramatic instrumentals about ancient times, sinister love, acts of sorcery and dark romance and are a part of the revival of Gothic Rock in its evolved contemporary forms while remaining true to the roots of traditional gothic origins.

Soon after creating their first album in 2018, they were signed to Secret Sin Records in 2019, after which they began work on their second album “Crimson Curse” released in 2020.

The band ended up on uncertain hiatus after the pandemic with members separating a bit to pursue other projects and personal lives but began performing live shows again at Dark Castle Fest in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

A brand new album has just been recorded at Cleveland, Ohio’s Suma Recording in January 2026 with a release date not far away featuring -
Zac Campbell - Guitars, programming
Ashley Vega - Vocals
Daniel C - Drums
Motuvius Rex - Bass
