Welcome to
Electric Candlelight

Electric Candlelight is a free-form radio program committed to broadcasting a variety of musical genres.

🕯️ Inspiration

Electric Candlelight draws its name from Pavel Yablochkov’s revolutionary Yablochkov Candle, a symbol of old technology and the enduring power of science, and is inspired by the Kinks’ song Lola, which tells the story of a romantic encounter with a trans person, where characters “drank champagne and danced all night under electric candlelight.” This unique blend reflects a celebration of invention, curiosity, and the many forms of love in a world that’s becoming increasingly intolerant, especially intolerant of love between queer people. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

💖 Purpose

As a child, the radio was my sanctuary, a portal that unlocked a world of imagination. The radio was a creative and artistic playground where I could truly be myself, discovering music and the world beyond. Electric Candlelight seeks to recreate that safe space for listeners today; a warm gathering spot for all the freaks, misfits, and dreamers. Here, everyone is welcome to come together under the glow of electric candlelight, sharing stories, music, and connection.
