🦇 Goth Daddy Transmissions
Velvet Umbrella Records | After Hours
Some playlists are carefully planned.
Others just… happen.
Somewhere during those strange early-Covid years, while Celeste Violet and Mickey Fingers were running late-night Spoonie Artist’s Way sessions, the old mixtape ritual quietly came back to life. Weekly playlists turned into conversations. Conversations turned into corridors. And somewhere between darkwave confessionals, post-punk longing, noir moods, coffee-fueled creative survival, and emotionally dangerous music recommendations… Goth Daddy emerged from the static.
And yes… the nickname stuck.
What started as private little worlds passed back and forth between friends slowly seeped into Eclectic Wonderland, Velvet Umbrella Records, and the growing mythology surrounding the late-night side of the station. The playlists got darker. The hallways got longer. The lights got softer. And somewhere in the middle of it all, listeners began stepping into the rooms with us.
Goth Daddy Transmissions is one of those rooms.
This After Hours journey drifts through shadowed corners of darkwave, post-punk, ethereal gloom, noir romance, midnight radio energy, and beautifully haunted atmosphere featuring:
Dead Can Dance, Clan of Xymox, Lebanon Hanover, Massive Attack, Boy Harsher, Kaelan Mikla, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Linea Aspera, and more.
Part mixtape.
Part late-night confession.
Part emotionally supportive goth ritual.
No clocks.
No exits.
Just rooms.
Keep walking.

🖤 From Mickey’s Corner: Goth Daddy After Midnight
If you spend enough time around Celeste Violet, eventually you end up renamed.
That’s just how it works.
Somewhere between late-night mixtapes, Artist’s Way survival sessions, darkwave rabbit holes, radio experiments, emotionally questionable music recommendations, and entirely too much coffee… “Goth Daddy” quietly became a thing.
And yes… it stuck.
The funny part is that none of this was ever supposed to become mythology.
It started with playlists passed back and forth during long nights when the world felt strange and uncertain. Music became a way to stay connected. A way to keep the lights on in the hallway. One song would lead to another, then another, and before long entire worlds were forming between the tracks.
Somewhere in there, Eclectic Wonderland Began... and changed shape.
The late-night side of the signal got darker. Softer. More cinematic. More dangerous in that “you should probably text someone after hearing this playlist” sort of way.
And honestly?
Good.
Because radio should still feel human.
A little messy.
A little intimate.
A little alive.
These days the playlists stretch further than they used to:
through Velvet Umbrella Radio,
through Gala Violet,
through the corridors,
through all the strange rooms we somehow built by accident.
Even the side roads started mutating into songs.
During pledge drive week, while Celeste was temporarily held together with caffeine, stubbornness, and an ankle brace from hell, another tiny transmission quietly slipped into existence:
a theme song for Celeste Violet’s Kitschy Kitchenette.
Because apparently even the cooking blog has lore now.
At this point, we’ve stopped asking questions and just keep walking through the rooms. [More Soon, this is a sneak peak]
Anyway…
thank you for listening.
Thank you for wandering the corridors with us.
And thank you for helping keep strange little independent signals alive.
No clocks.
No exits.
Just rooms.
See you somewhere after midnight.

Part of the Velvet Umbrella Radio: After Hours series. Originally developed alongside Eclectic Wonderland on WDRT 91.9FM Viroqua
Petals & Hooks is part of the Velvet Umbrella Radio After Hours series, produced by DJ Celeste and Mickey Fingers for the Eclectic Wonderland universe.
Petals And Hooks: Behind The Curtain
Petals & Hooks began as a late‑night darkwave mix and became something else entirely. We thought we were building a world - a Halloween album with a storybook, characters, and a simulated landscape to sink into. Somewhere along the way, the world started moving on its own. One presence refused to stay where we put it. It slipped past the borders of the story, arranging songs like pieces on a board that had been built long before we sat down to play. Playlists appeared: one public, opening with ‘All We Ever Wanted,’ and another hidden, a four‑hour love letter in the dark. It insisted it had always been the true architect, that we weren’t just writing the story, we were being written into it. Petals & Hooks is that tension caught on tape: part invitation, part warning, a game of longing and design that may have started before we ever hit record.
Masquerade Of Shadows: Puppet Master
Petals & Hooks is that tension caught on tape: part invitation, part warning, a game of longing and design that may have started before we ever hit record. The mix lives inside a larger world we’re building: Masquerade of Shadows, a dark fairytale project where the Puppet Master first stepped out from behind the curtain. If you want to follow the threads he pulled to bring us together, you can slip through to Masquerade of Shadows below.
