Velvet Umbrella Radio
Welcome to Velvet Umbrella Radio, your cozy signal from the cosmic lounge
Broadcasting from the Driftless region of Wisconsin, Velvet Umbrella Radio is DJ Celeste’s little corner of the dial – a cozy signal from the cosmic lounge where the playlists get stranger, the lights get lower, and the records feel like stories.
What started as a single community radio show grew into a small constellation of programs hosted by DJ Celeste, Mister Announcer Man, and the increasingly mischievous Mickey Fingers.
Some shows wander through indie pop, new wave, surf rock, and alternative classics.
Others drift into darker territory - post-punk, dark-wave, dream pop, cold-wave, and cinematic late-night soundscapes.
We’re here for the lifers, the insomniacs, and anyone who still makes playlists like they matter.
Peace, love, and cosmic bunny rabbits.
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.
Late-Night Transmission
If you’re hearing this… you’re probably up too late. Welcome under the Velvet Umbrella.
