On Thursday, April 2, The Velvet Hum on DKFM Shoegaze Radio is proud to present an interview with Uri Avila of trauma ray of Fort Worth. His band just released a new EP “Carnival,” in February, and we talk about its creation and stories from tours in the past year.
In addition, I have a world premiere of a new song by Sea Forever. This is the project of Thomas Blank, formerly of Vet Trip and Wybercron. It’s a great song, so stay tuned to hear that! The rest of the show features only Texas bands, and thanks to John Emslie for helping me curate that.
The show airs at 10 p.m. EDT/7 p.m. PDT and repeats 12 hours later. You can tune in at cayfm.com or download the app.

On Thursday, Nov. 13 The Velvet Hum on DKFM Shoegaze Radio went to Brazil with guest host Gilson Machado.

At DKFM Shoegaze Radio, we’re usually locked in on bringing you the latest and greatest from the world of shoegaze and dream pop. But this time, I decided to mix things up. I asked a handful of DKFM DJs and superfans a deceptively simple question: What’s your favorite song of all time?
Of course, no one can truly choose just one—too many life-changing bands, too many moments soundtracked by music. Still, these brave souls took on the challenge, each sharing a song they consider absolutely over-the-top, endlessly amazing, and one they’ll never grow tired of.
So I present DKFM All-Time Favorites on The Velvet Hum on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at 10 p.m. EST/7 p.m. PST with a repeated airing 12 hours later. Tune into cayfm.com or download the app.
