The Darkest Hours

A page in support of the Darkest Hours radio programme, hosted by DJ Nightshade and Maidservent Mina Darkness has a voice on 90.1 FM.

The Darkest Hours exists at the intersection of gothic art, shadowy music, and haunting soundscapes. Hosted by DJ Nightshade and Maidservant Mina, the show ventures into the strange, the beautiful, and the things that stir after midnight. This page offers visual evidence of their adventures, along with news, artwork, and updates about the show. The Darkest Hours is a loving fill-in for The Retro Red-Eye Express, hosted by our daywalking sister DJ Sunshine, Saturdays from 10 p.m. to midnight on 90.1 FM KKFI.

ATTENTION, CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT
The velvet curtain falls once again this Saturday, September 12th.
From 10:00 PM until the midnight witching hour, the frequency belongs entirely to us. DJ Nightshade and Maidservant Mina are taking over the studio to awaken the spirits through the airwaves.

Expect cold, relentless basslines, ethereal gloom, haunting synth pulses, and obscure cuts pulled directly from the underground shadows. No filler, no daylight sounds, just pure nocturnal atmosphere crafted for those who thrive when the sun goes down.

Thanks as always to DJ Sunshine and the Retro Red-Eye Express (R2E2) for allowing us to take over the airwaves once again.

Creep out of your crypt and lock your dials:
Kansas City: Tune in locally to KKFI 90.1 FM

Everywhere Else Across the Void: Stream live worldwide at kkfi.org/listen

Blow out the candles, crank the volume until the walls tremble, and join our communion.
We will see you in the shadows.
