I am glad i across this lectrokitty's mix here. excellently done for sure. very nice transitions. from very low emotion to high levels at just the right time. i am now entranced into a realm i never knew of and plan to explore theses artists more, all of them have a good sound.

[@MiguelJuanez]

This is my "driving home through the deep rural areas of the Midwest on a dreary cloudy autumn evening" music.

[@comoselhama4653]

Must be awesome!

West Midlands are always a dreary cloudy autumn evening tho

when you a vampire but you need a mixtape for your 86 cadillac

[@dracsdead]

that's so funny bc my names dracula and I have an 85' Cadillac deville hearse

[@zinavejzovic9247]

Hahahaaa yessss

[@92GreyBlue]

I am a vampire in every sense except for the blood part. I know it sounds silly like I'm trying to sound edgy but I have to take methadone every day since I was a heroin addict and I decided to quit. Nothing in this world is more vampire like than a heroin addiction. It starts out romantic and you feel you've found something that can actually help you if you're careful. You feel that you're in control yet you know that what you are doing is wrong. Before you know it you are an addicted fiend. Literally over night it can happen. A lot of the time the first time using heroin is introduced by someone who is already a fiend themselves.. Romanticizing it and enticing you into trying it despite everything inside of you telling you not to do it.. One moment of weakness.. Will change your life forever. You slowly start to isolate yourself.. The person you were before begins to fade away.. All of your old friends, lovers, and even family begin to fall by the wayside.. All the while you are too hypnotized to realize or even care that your life as you knew it is slipping away.. You cannot dare tell others of your transition... Out of fear of judgement and persecution which actually does happen. People begin to see a real darkness inside of you. The light in your eyes becomes dimmer and dimmer.. Until eventually just a cold vacant gaze is all people see when they look at you.. Which is why they would rather stay away.. You stop eating.. Sleeping.. Bathing.. Socializing for any reason other than to get your next fix.. Becoming incredibly manipulative.. Stealing.. Lying.. Whatever it takes to keep from withering away without your fix... Pretty soon you can only socialize with other vampires who like you are now fiends of the night. Truly lost within their own torment and damnation... Forever looking back... Reminiscing with a heavy heart the days before you first took the poison.. Wishing with all of your might that you had never crossed paths with the one who brought you into this dark and miserable world.... Sorry yall I just thought I'd share the similarity I saw with addiction and vampirism years ago when I was still using. Very grateful to say I haven't touched the stuff for over a few years now but it's been difficult getting off of the methadone I got onto. I'm tapering off and I should be completely off this year. I hope nobody reads this and sees it in any way as romanticizing drug use because I cannot possibly stress enough how one time is all it takes. Someone told me that before I ever tried it and I thought to myself.. "Yeah but that's them and I know me. I wouldn't let myself get addicted especially if I only tried it once.." If I had one wish in my life I would go back and listen to what my friend Isaac told me. If you try it.. Your life will forever be divided into two parts... The days before you ever tried heroin.. And the days after.. And you will wish for the rest of your life that you had never done that to yourself. Please... Let my years of agony and misery in addiction serve as an example. Please. Don't do it to yourself. Not even once. If anyone ever tries to offer you heroin or hard drugs THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU. Despite how close of a friend they've been to you or how long you've know them. Don't participate in your own killing and the destruction of your life and devastation of all those around you.

[@justinroberts7291]

Outstanding mix. Wish I had a club I could go to and listen to this all night.

[@AngelusFromHell]

Damn, I wish it too. Here in south italy it's impossible to find a darkwave club. It doesn't exixts.

[@asht9n356]

that just gives me devil man crybaby vibes

[@gabrielstranger3724]

Man, that would be a dream, I would also love for this to exist, and still be able to talk and make goth friends, lol (Nice, I'm from Brazil)

[@hrtro]

For real, but we’ll settle for a night drive, a slow walk down an empty street. Or a lonely listen in a dark room.

[@cherylmoatz4739]

Ahhh, all the fun nights dancing at the Castle nightclub, Ybor/Tampa, FL.

[@xHTHNx]

This mix saved my night.

You are exactly that, my friend. And don't you forget it, even if it doesn't always feel like this is the case!

[@TonyRios]

You are the main character in your life 🥺🧬

[@TankSwift]

Whoever mixed this is an actual Darkwave God.

[@joshuadiaz6336]

That transition between White Gate and Draumadís is a marvel.

[@imbatmanbitchh]

Well put bro honestly

[@sinisterfawn]

IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR MUSIC LIKE THIS FOREVEER WHAAATT OMG

[@sadvalentinez]

SAMEEE

[@kidofsteel0362]

Dark wave. Synth wave. Cold wave. Vapor wave. It’s all amazing

[@flyppy196]

I have to admit that you can rightly feel the darkwaves. Some mixes out there can't keep that vibe :)

[@azothamenti3378]

Yeeup

[@SALAAAAAMIII]

So true

[@jdallinder]

This is exactly what life sounds like.

[@eamylord]

Cold, slow, depressing & incredibly awesome ? F Yeah !

[@erikvanern6178]

Thank you! Brings me back in time to 1990-92 when I was stationed in Germany. My buddies and I used to go to a bar in Wurzburg called the Labyrinth, it was in an odd stone wine cellar and this is the type of music they played there.

[@puddentaine]

Great mix. Very dark. Very dreamy. I can drive to this, cook to this or even nap with this. Got that nostalgic feeling that brings me back in time.

[@blackboxpromotions6722]

Love gothic music been listening to this genre of music since 1985... It makes me feel bittersweetly happy... like longing for something in the past that I lost, and want to find and regain... oh my memories where have you gone...

[@saynotohookups]

Goth music makes me feel better.

[@nuwanda8557]

the songs COMPLETELY fade into each other and WOW SIR

[@sidney2685]

Thank you so much, I use to play in Rise and Hoffen and it's such a great honor to be side by side with these great bands. Lots of love from Mexico

[@Kiri_-so3ei]

Whoever mixed this blended the songs so seamlessly it's gorgeous and the music is revitalizing gothic post punk vibes 😍😍😍

[@deadeyejedi4298]

My favorite darkwave mix. I constantly come back.

[@sheva6131]

I like listening to this at night imagining I'm riding a motorcycle during a full moon. The transitions are flawless!

[@paulmoreno4913]

Nothing like listening to my favorite Darkwave Mix in the middle of a cold morning like today is. But let's be honest. This can be heard anywhere, anytime, anylife...

[@abangemirzaihanabangzulkip9502]

Driving in the middle of the road in Siberia, Russia while listening to this playlist would be a compliment.

[@eamylord]

During the night. While heavely snowing, with a powerfull wind. Wolves crying far away. You just lost a dear close friend.... Perfect ❤

[@Leuka_]

This one's better than most "goth" playlists out there.

[@saynotohookups]

I haven't listened to a lot of goth playlists but I'm betting that you are right.

[@v4mpb3rry]

Painting my nails black while listening. 🖤💅🏻

[@Noise_Meister_Records]

My nails are always black no matter what

[@matheus_cesar_]

i just put some purple in

[@addielmartinez9120]

Ima paint my nails cuz of this comment

[@demon_child1637]

🖤

[@eamylord]

I have no nails left 💅🏿

[@aaronfrey4418]

This mix is soooo good! It would be cool if the cassette was "playing" while the songs played and finished when the music did.

[@ms.lisamurphy269]

yeah, but you'd also need a fucking pen to rewind the tape after it destroys itself in the tape player

[@DarknessUnresolved]

This is probably the BEST batcave mix I've come across in a few years! THANK YOU!

[@JJones-nf9ce]

I listen to this with my kittens

[@createphone50]

Justin Jones hahaha love that 🖤

[@mornhiver]

nice

[@tiffany5333]

I bet ur kittens are cool af

[@karmabimo1274]

Interesting

[@alexonline2340]

the way each song blends into the next is pure genius. thank you so much for making this

[@fighting.sickness]

This mix is golden. I've been digging every single song.

[@OtakuBK]

Dark wave and Post Punk is the best

[@MCE851]

Don't forget gravewave

[@justinroberts7291]

...very nice transitions. Excellent track selection. Top choice.

[@duantorruellas716]

Best darkwave/batcave mixtape with the smoothest of blends , not to mention the tracks. This kitty's got it in the blood For sure.

[@arnaudheckmann7066]

Driving on a sunny day, sunglasses on, south of France, this mix strangely fits perfectly !

[@eamylord]

Cloudy late summer, near Paris right now, get you bro 🙏. France has amazing landscapes/countrysides/old villages to enhance the listening ! ❤

[@insurgentbroccoli]

I first listened to this mix three years ago. I was just looking for some random playlist to listen to while doing some work. When i saw the title, i said to myself "what the heck is darkwave??" and decided to check it out. That was probably one of the best things i did in my life. Song choice, transition between songs... everything about this playlist is just perfect. I tried many other mixes in this genre but this one just cannot be beaten.

[@darrinstokke3839]

2 years ago, still listen to it. I was talking about Darkwave music to a friend and pointed out that most if not all the bands in this genre, keep its dignity intact. Perhaps by its very nature its not corrupted. It wouldn't be Darkwave if it was.

[@WarbirdPhoenix]

I accidently woke up the dead with this. They told me to turn it up.👍💜

[@heidiholtz4382]

Awake. Alive. Superior... neurons that connect me with you all. The decades fade away and I’m back. I can actually feel my heart. No other music can do this. You get it or you don’t. We are the lucky ones

[@hughthetuber7990]

Amazingly worded. Gorgeous turn of phrase. A truly understated comment. Thank you for sharing your thought process surrounding the mix and have a lovely day when you read this. :) We ARE the lucky ones to dance in the darkness to these amazing tunes as bats wings flutter and the feint howl of wolves echoes on the wind.

[@megafrankenstien8049]

1 minute in and I already fell in love with this

[@tiffany5333]

The moment I heard the opening I was like "this is gonna be good"

[@smokyhusky5819]

same😂

[@666melancias]

I love how the tracks blend one into another

[@theglockykuzdra1006]

I am listening to this in an oversized black sweater and black fishnets drinking a bear at midnight in a motel room abroad. The only light in the room is from the tv with some movies from the 50s in German. They said live your best life 😂

[@renealvarez7038]

haha

[@Fi6ment]

you are such an aesthetic i love it

[@splod44]

That's the spirit !

[@anglo-saxon9182]

that's a vibe cant lie

[@bhavyakukkar]

The transition from Dead Poet's Society to Pale Light ( 12:40 ) is absolutely amazing

[@cherylchaison5085]

This is the kind of music that calms the soul

[@SunkenButterfly]

Jamming to this and some synthwave while working. Good walking music. Definitely outdoors at night 🌉🌙, nice ambience

[@lemonbasil]

THIS IS THE KIND OF MUSIC IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR ITS SO GOOD

[@Musicore08]

I miss the old goth days, I'm in my early 50s now and remember them well!

[@mikestuckmeyer6611]

25:49 This mix set is beyond astounding - These trax are all super intense. And the audio fidelity is impeccable with deep rich bass and treble / midrange mix! I wish I owned a Goth Industrial club where this would be played on a regular basis as head liner trax! A club hosting amazing elegantly Vampire Goth Industrial decorum 3 times the scale of Bar Sinister in LA! The cassette bat is the coolest

[@paniferrow]

so this is the kind of music youtubes been hiding from me

[@bostilhorrorstory]

you know the mix is perfect when you love every music of it, my favorite playlist so far

[@lennoxmcqueen2760]

I just want all of you to know that you're my kind of people.

[@dwightclark7627]

Come for the awesome cassette art, stay for the awesome Darkwave tunes... .

[@apollo_gen]

I've never even heard of this genre, I'm not even sure if darkwave is a genre, but this just appeared on my recommended and it piqued my interest, and I'm not disappointed.

[@CyanBlackflower]

Well Done Mix. Great selection... I love it. Thank You. Those days are gone and will NEVER return, but in memory~>~ ~I - Now age 60.5 yrs, I swear I was young once. In the spring of 1980 I was 16. I had a fearful, all but reckless passion for the perspectives I could potentially attain, using powerful synthesized variations of organic mind bending compounds related to mescaline, psilocybin, LSD, DMT, etc. I knew some people studying organic chemistry in California, and U of T Ontario... ~44 years ago in Toronto Canada, I was still kinda in "High" School... I found out the wisdom of NOT allowing "School" get in the way of my education. Wisdom for certain. This was the point in my life when I began night clubbing. "Goth" and Subterranean "Post" Punk clubs began an infestation wave. In all and any cracks & holes where a foothold could be had, a hang-out for every deadbeat, freak, creeping weirdo horror show, the shadows could devise. My first experiential exploratory encounter with that scene, appealed to my love of theater, iconic dark themes, and the therapeutic value that CAN be found in role playing... ~~>~~

[@bats5313]

My first year of college I would take half of an edible, walk to the student union and put this in my headphones and do homework. The transition from bloom to last call will never fail to give me chills. high or not lol. such a great playlist. thank you so much for putting this together and creating such a special experience for freshman year me lol ♥

[@cassg.1254]

this just popped up on my recommended and I don't regret clicking on it. spooky vibes forever

[@Mej304]

Ребята отжигают так, что рвут на части не только танцпол, Но и пространство и Время 👌💃💫

[@Fitzroyfallz]

I’ve started getting interested in goth culture (I go through new genres every few months lol) and haven’t been sure where to start when it comes to music apart from the obvious The Cure etc. This playlist is fantastic! I especially appreciate that you included all the song and artist names!

[@brianaarroyo5917]

I didn’t even know I liked this type of music until I listened to it 🧛🏻‍♀️

[@systemofadamn3512]

включил на плазме этот плейлист, в комнате полумрак, сижу отдыхаю после напряжëнного дня. спасибо. он прекрасен

[@imanonmd]

Damnnnnn....those transitions tho. Smooth and👏🤤👌

[@not-me9450]

Perfect mix for this Halloween thx

Nothing better than a bottle of the cheapest wine and this mix to save the night

[@johnalexanderagudelopena5723]

I love that retro look, every soundtrack it's wonderful, the dark wave are psychological extremely. Has loved.

[@NadDew]

I never heard of dark waves. youtube suggested this to me and I clicked thinking it was creepypasta story next think i notice I was banging my head with the music.😅 thank you youtube.

[@m6542]

This mix makes me sort of sad but at the same time it makes me want motivated to do what ever I aspire to. I just found this, it makes me feel so special.

[@chronicallytiredmedstudent]

Listened to this while having a mental breakdown in gym class. Very good mixtape, 10/10 would recommend.

[@clos3dmus1c]

Wow, this playlist sounds very vampire-style haha!!! I like it)

[@almightyalan8942]

I searched all day for dark wave mixes to find one like this, and finally, I found that vibe, may my soul dance all night 🔮🔮🧿

[@brendacabrera7163]

This has been my go to playlist, for 2 years, when I want to concentrate doing homework or chores, it helps me focus. Thank you so much!!!

[@blackskull8440]

Awesome mixtape,,, I wonder how many kids these days are listening to this and wondering what is that weird device on the picture 😂🦇

[@DentArthurDent68]

I'm a 56 year old just discovering this music and loving it! It kind of talks to 16 year old me directly. I would have worn out my walkman listening to this in the 80s.

[@stephenspark776]

Fantastic selection, superbly mixed. And any playlist that ends with The Marchesa Casati gets an instant 10 out 10 addiction rating. Who controls your feelings controls your mind". Indeed.

[@BogWraith1]

All of the bands here are excellent. The one I'd suggest the most for others to go listen to the rest of their catalogue would be Dream Affair as they are an absolutely wonderful band! Thanks for posting this awesome mix!

[@marcilarson2274]

listening to this to relax and dissociate before having to enter a bulk grocery membership complex. eew, hiss. darkwave helps me walk through crowds of selfish shoppers waging war with overloaded wheeled carts. Dark wave keeps my soul from existential fear of the human race. The transitions are silky smooth. Best goth mix on the internet. 🌹🐈‍⬛☕️🌫🌧🕯❤️‍🔥

[@wltschmrz1945]

This music makes me proud to be a darkwave fan. Peace and keep rocking, children of the night 🖤

[@deathula1]

Darkwave music on my headphone at the work Xmas party. Soo relaxing.

[@HashslingingSLASHER92]

One of the best darkwave mixes I've found here. Got some of my favs in here. Kaelan Mikla as a start is just great. Thank you fellow darkwave lover. 🖤

[@thulsadames6573]

Listening to this at 3 in the morning and it reminded me to rewatch "Heathers", a movie I haven't thought about in twenty years. 🖤

[@moltenlana]

On this rare day where I can't seem to listen to anything else all the way through this provides me salvation

[@zmoraboza]

this is my music taste now

[@mullysmom]

Im 99% sure this is my favorite goth/postpunk playlist

[@sweetandsalty9387]

This is amazing music, even for people like me who dont belong into the Gothic/Darkwave Scene 😍

[@nicox8913]

If it moves you, my darling, you are indeed a great part of it. Thank you for raising your voice.

[@morbidhime]

for as long as you enjoy the music, you belong in the goth subculture! :)

[@TheRaphaelxau]

This playlist is a gift from the gods of darkness

[@DentArthurDent68]

I swear it sounds like every song and artist I liked in the 80s. Hints of Cabaret Voltaire, Devo, Flock of Seagulls,... all the way up to Trent Reznor and Rob Zombie. And I'm only 10 minutes in :)

[@markanthony4307]

this playlist is good as a cold night or a rainy afternoon

[@shisno7914]

I'm more of an electro/industrial guy but this is a fantastic mix. Well done; thanks for putting it together. Nice, clean transitions as well. It's a joy to hear a mix that's not full of trainwrecks every four minutes. An underappreciated skill.

[@mysticodyssey4013]

This dark wave mix is going to play at my next birthday party. 🌙🎂🐺🎈🖤🎉💀

[@666melancias]

invite me 😁🤝🤝

[@jennywitch4768]

This mixtape really got me into a few bands, discovered them because of this, Kælan Mikla and Twin Tribes for example, I can unironically say that this mixtape is pure fire. Good job, I keep coming back to this often.

[@esmokah]

This sounds great at 3am on a rainy morning waiting for the Sun to rise. Thanks for going through the effort of mixing the tracks and not just assembling a playlist.

[@evil_mady]

i like listening to this while making jewelry or cleaning around the house :]

[@CORPN]

I forgot about this mix for a bit and it popped back up in my feed. This is art, and it hits the soul

[@brinettareyes4046]

Needed a new mix for when I'm getting dressed and doing my makeup. This is perfect.🖤

[@monchichll]

This mix take me back. I wasnt goth or punk or anything but a friend at school made me a mixtape had The Cure and Joy Division and i dont even know the names of all the bands. I still have the tape and this mix here is the same style and vibe. Thank you for taking me back to a simpler and better times.

[@javinshki17000]

i just discovered darkwave, this is gonna be interesting

[@mwomacque]

Perfect music for a rainy day in the workshop! Still pretty good for a sunny day too.

[@Snowwhitequeen23]

I’m a metalhead but I saw a recommendation for a goth night for tomorrow and searched up darkwave. I’ve always wanted to go to a goth club/night. I’m very curious to go.

[@Wolfschaaf]

Best mix out there for a whole Vampir Life
