Velvet Umbrella Radio - Connect With Us
Velvet Umbrella Radio is the shadow side of Eclectic Wonderland.
Broadcasting from the Driftless region of Wisconsin, Velvet Umbrella Radio is the late‑night wing of DJ Celeste’s radio universe, where the playlists get stranger, the lights get lower, and the records come from the darker corners of the bin.
What started as a community radio show grew into a small constellation of programs hosted by DJ Celeste Violet, Mr Announcer Man, and the increasingly mischievous Mickey Fingers.
If you’re looking for a way to connect with us, this is it.
The front door.
A weekly community radio broadcast where DJ Celeste, Mr Announcer Man, and Mickey Fingers spin an off-road mix of indie, alternative, new wave, surf, and the random earworms that refuse to leave the group chat.
Call it:
late-bloom main-character radio.
The shadow door.
Hosted by Mickey Fingers and DJ Celeste, After Hours on WDRT 91.9 FM is where the format loosens and the night gets weird.
Deep cuts, strange signals, storytelling, unexpected detours, and the occasional musical obsession that refuses to stay quiet.
Not the daytime show.
A darkwave chapel inside the After Hours cathedral.
Petals & Hooks is the late‑night darkwave chapel inside the After Hours cathedral: a three‑to‑four‑hour, unfiltered spell on Mixcloud only, where the format breaks completely and we follow the music off the map.
Darkwave, post‑punk, coldwave, goth, dream pop, synth‑noir, and the tracks that only make sense after midnight.
Legend has it the mix first appeared when the Puppet Master slipped through the curtain and left Celeste a playlist.
No one has confirmed this.
But the music stayed.
