We have made some big moves in this past year. VERY BIG MOVES! First and foremost, we have merged with Radio Darkitalia and brought on 6 outstanding live DJs from Italy as well as 4 more amazing DJs from the United States. We have released 2 new mobile applications for Android and IOS , added 3 more stations to our selectable HTML5 web player and increased quality of our broadcasting signal. Also, we’ve revamped the website and formatted the schedule into 5 time zones to make it easier for our international listeners. Radio DarkItalia is a cultural association founded to implement, disseminate and publicize events that affect dark/gothic subculture. We have contributed a custom DarkItalia player for their radio page . DJ Black Ossian brings us the Voice of Silence on on Mondays, a selection of new and old gothic, deathrock and electronic. Tuesdays DJ Decadenz brings us l'Alcova. Wednesdays we bring you Out of Rain with DJ Saphiria post-punk, new wave and classic goth rock. Thursdays bring you WFKU double-agent DJ Nederfolk with his show Shadow and Darkness, and DJ Isis/Unvieled. Tune in Fridays for Synthetic with the lovely and talented Miss Lucifer playing synthpop and electroclash. We have brought on some amazing new live talent from this side of the Atlantic as well. Introducing See You Next Wednesday with Charlie The Slut featuring weekly horror, deathrock, goth, and punk. Stay late because at Midnight WFKU brings you Cultwave Radio with Brad Bleak . Brad dredges the netherworld of witch house and occvlt bass to bring you a variety of weekly new sounds from within the internet scene. In Brad’s words, “Escape Planet Sirius. Your only chance to survive is to leave with us!” Fridays check out Another Nightmare with DJ Mange Vorhees for a taste of New Orleans goth and crust-punk. Also enjoy industrial classics with DJ Nobledestro live from Pittsburgh every Saturday night.
We have expanded our custom web player as well. It sports SIX stations now. The aforementioned 3 as well as a full-time Neofolk Station curated by DJ Nederfolk and a Punk Station curated by Charlie the Slut. For the sixth station we put together a demo version of a requests system. Here is a little technical insight into our unique radio management software. We have upgraded our servers with our new custom built auto-transition system. This system sports time sensitive DJ logins, auto kicks (in case a DJ forgets to log off after their show) and an easy to manage live scheduler. Plus the full monty of server side post audio processing including auto-gain compression, auto-gain stabilization, dynamic intelligent equalizers, audio feedback interface backup with emergency playlist and the ability broadcast multiple quality signals dependent on the connection and device of the listener. With this technology, we can support thousands of listeners. In short, it totally blows anything anyone in internet radio has ever seen out of the water and we are just getting started. We have also spent some time making our advertising prices and services better, We have a special deal for bands labels artists and Muscians . We offer a unique system of banner ads and audio ads which run in conjunction with each other for a much higher return on investment. Also we are proud to be the only network offering psychic advertising . Check the site for more details.
