Radio Arcane is a collective of Dark Music Specialists headquartered in Louisville, KY that host events, live music and a curated, nighttime oddities and art market called The Dark Market.

More recently, we have branched out with our own streaming radio service and are working with affiliates abroad. Our primary focus being a love of what we describe as “Dark Eclectic Music” involves a variety of sounds, to include Gothic, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Industrial, EBM, Coldwave, Synthwave, Synthpop, 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.

Molly Nilsson / Palm Ghosts - Live at Art Sanctuary

Molly Nilsson / Palm Ghosts - Live at Art Sanctuary

Molly Nilsson – Extreme
"Ten albums in, the Sweden-born, Berlin-dwelling synth-pop singer is as lo-fi as ever, but her songwriting just gets stronger. Her sense of irony is potent and funny – hair-metal chords seem to skewer dumb aggression, and Earth Girls’s joyous chorus of “women have no place in this world” is a withering portrait of toxic masculinity – but Kids Today and Fearless Like a Child have a straightforward, moving naivety. Pompeii, meanwhile, is Calvin Harris-level pop that should have been huge. BBT" The Guardian

Palm Ghosts is the sound of an 80s prom in a war zone…located in the dead heart of country music, Nashville, TN. More at home in rainy Manchester, the quartet weaves cinematic dream pop and new wave with brooding post punk. Embracing their 80’s idols, like New Order, The Cure, David Bowie, John Carpenter and even Divine, Palm Ghosts take the genre to soaring new heights.

Ships In The Night (New York)
"An electrifying mix of haunting, dark electronic and ethereal, ambient lullabies. Alethea Leventhal's magnetic solo project pulls from dreams, memories and echoes from the outer world to paint an atmospheric landscape with sweeping waves of synths and kinetic beats."
https://shipsinthenight.bandcamp.com

Solemn Shapes (Charlotte, NC)
"North American electronic, dark synth band based in Charlotte, NC. Scott Sunset and Melanie Foxfire perform live with synthesizers, samplers and drum machines to create dark distorted beats, vocal/sample effects and warped synth tones which evoke a haunting, psychedelic vibe…Solemn Shapes lives somewhere between 80's horror soundtracks & a dark dance floor in the dead of night."

Buck Gooter (Harrisonburg, Virginia)
"PRIMAL INDUSTRIAL BLUES. TO BE PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME."
