Introducing...Nightbreed Radio!




Out of the ashes of Radio Nightbreed comes a brand new dynamic station that features THE BEST and darkest music in the world...NIGHTBREED RADIO.

Our intention is to play the widest selection of tracks covering 80’s and 90’s classics as well as the underground releases of today from the Goth, Darkwave, Deathrock, Industrial and Dark Alternative genres. Even the automated playlist consists almost entirely of hand-selected tracks by its DJ's, so that you will experience less of that 'album filler' broadcast when you tune in at any time.

All of this painted upon the backdrop of the world renowned label, Nightbreed Recordings.

Nightbreed Radio is home to the hottest and most regarded Gothic DJ’s and shows as well as the coolest playlists in the world; a lot of hard work has been going on in the background to present what you will hear and see from today!

So how do you listen to this station?

All I need for 20 minutes...

A broadband internet connection at optimum working capability.
A house bereft of any inside or outside noise.
No salesmen or visitors of any kind.
Backup equipment running alongside main setup.
The Gods of technology smiling upon me.
 
As long as I have all of these together in one place at one time next week I shall have something special for you to listen to on the weekend 24th/25th July.
 
I'll update this accordingly after the event.

A time for change and giving.

Last week it was decided that Nightbreed Recordings and the social network site Pray Silence would part company. As of this weekend, Radio Nightbreed is no longer a going concern.
Very soon, Nightbreed Radio will be broadcasting from Radionomy with many of the original DJ's including myself, and will in all likelihood keep the same schedules for most of the shows.
We hope to give you the same if not better listening experience, and as we're operating the station as a team rather than one person looking after everything, we'll also try to give you far more 'uptime' than previously experienced when listening to Radio Nightbreed.
In the meantime, you can still hear Fadeout every week on Phoenix Radio (http://www.phoenixradio.co.uk) every Saturday at 7.00pm GMT or download the podcast at http://fadeout.podomatic.com as normal.
I'm also working on a podcast archive which will serve two purposes; (1) to make every show available since the beginning of the year as a download in case you missed any from way back, and (2) as a backup in case once again, my podcast page bandwidth allowance craps out. The price of popularity, I guess...
Watch this space; I'll be updating my official website this week with an archive page. If demand calls for it, I'll archive most or all of 2009's podcasts too.
I'm just too bloody generous to you lot, aren't I?

UPDATE:
I've just included a link to the archives on my Downloads page at http://www.cruelbrit.co.uk.

(I've also increased the text size of this blog so Martin Oldgoth can read it. He said it was too small. Between you & me, I think his eyes are going with age... ;-)
