I'm the host of DJ cypher's Dark Nation Radio, a weekly goth, industrial, post-punk, and intelligent electronica broadcast that I started in 1999. More than 200 shows are available at mixcloud.com/cypheractive. I also host DJ cypher's Blasphemous Rumors--a dark 80s show--on the second Tuesday of each month and DJ cypher's Psychobilly Family Power Hour (psychobilly, rockabilly, and horror punk) on the fourth Tuesday of each month.

Oh, and I'm also prof. of English at Central MI U

This week’s Dark Nation Radio (my 250th upload to Mixcloud!!!) is representative of what the show is about: a mix of new and classic goth, industrial, post-punk, and intelligent electronica. The starts off with brand spankin’ new DEPECHE MODE, shifts mid-way into a more cerebral electronica block, and then ends with some floor-fillers from Covenant and Peter Murphy. I hope you enjoy it!
