Summary
Cape DJs broadcast a wide variety of songs, with each DJ having a particular style and preference. Some DJs do all-request shows, pre-arranged theme shows, or both, depending on the week. Most often, live broadcasts are done from Pocket D, although shows have been known to occur in locales such as Gemini Park, Mercy Island, Croatoa, Talos Island, and elsewhere. Before Pocket D opened, shows occurred primarily in the Paragon Dance Party and Gemini Park.

One random day-a-month, you can be treated to "Celestial Kisses Under the Covers," a cover show featuring unusual covers of many of your favorite songs. Even more infrequent are her "Naked Kisses Under the Covers"--an a Capella cover show. You can view those playlists here. Beginning at 9pm, she'll kiss you til Midnight with her music and random personality. You can come dance with her at the Pocket D on the center platform!
DJ Pyrria - Production Director

During Degeneration, one can expect to hear everything from painful songs (such as Templar's favorite, "Not Roy") to all-time favorites (such as "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny"). With an enormous music library, Shecky can pull just about anything out of the wood-work. Degeneration is sure to "degenerate" his fans at the Pocket D.
Underground DJ Shecky comes back to us Thursday nights at 8pm for three hours of independent music. Underground focuses on a genre of music and features indie groups from across the country.

DJs
- Show Times: Sundays, 11am-2pm

- Show Times: Sundays, 2pm-6pm
Audio Whiplash Hold onto your hats, folks. DJ Crash will subject you to audio whiplash--and you will LIKE it!

Posthaste - Listener Liaison

You'll just have to tune in and hang with him at the center platform of the Pocket D! Except for the first Sunday of the month--then you'll find him in the Rikti War Zone for his monthly Mothership Raid Madness!
Treasure Chest The Treasure Chest features industrial, gothic, and more with the one and only Posthaste. MANCRUSH can't be wrong--Posthaste and Rob Zombie make a great match!

Vangelations Following Posthaste is the one and only, the creepy, DJ Vangelus. He likes to watch you as you sleep--he knows that you taste good. Featuring European metal bands such as Oomph!, In Extremo, and Nightwish, Vangelus is probably solely responsible for the increase in music sales and downloads for some of the bands he plays. You can hold the torch of radio during the weekly "Vangelations" at the center platform of the Pocket D.

He can be found in the Pocket D, Tuesdays from 4pm-7pm.
- Show Times: Tuesdays, 7pm-10pm
Crossing the Stream DJ Logos "Crosses the Streams" for us starting at 7pm, EST. His music ranges from blues and folk to unique and interesting mash-ups.

- Show Times: Wednesdays, 7pm-10pm
DJ Castor kicks off the Saturday line up in true intergalactic fashion! Join one of the twins--Castor or Pollux--for a stompin' good time. Did we mention he speaks French?

- Show Times: Saturdays, 2pm-5pm
Kicking off your live Saturdays is the one and only DJ Steel. Don't let the name fool you--this cool cat has a nice blend of rock, metal, comedy, and more to accost your aural senses! He made his debut "sometime" during the 2XXP Weekend (October 8-11, 2009), then took up his regular spot the following week. He'll be dubiously broadcasting from the D.
DJ Pheonyx - Assistant Events Coordinator
- Show Times: Saturdays, 5pm-8pm

Streamholding
What is streamholding? The Cape streams music 24/7, however, there is not a live DJ 24/7 (the only exception is during Double XP Weekend where the staff works round the clock for coverage). During the times when there is no live DJ, a "streamhold" is going on. To find out if the DJ is live, simply check the title on The Cape's main site. If it says something like, "Playing in the stream," or "Streamhold," then the DJ is most likely not live. It is, however, always best to just Check the DJ Schedule.
Ads, Events, & Other Stuff
Ads
DJ Steel is in charge of handling all requests for ads for Super Groups or Villain Groups. For more information on this service, please click here.
Events
DJ Pyrria is the current Events Coordinator. If you would like to host an in-game event, she's the one to talk to! Please be sure to check out the forums here to read the procedures and information needed to request your event.
Other Stuff
Cape Radio Street Team
Under the direction of Agent Crypto, The Cape Radio Street Team will be accepting applications for those parties interested in helping out The Cape. To learn more about The Cape Radio Street Team, please read the information here.
Requests
Some, not all, DJ's take requests. There is a DJ Library Search function on The Cape's main website. Check the schedule and listen to the show to see if the DJ is taking requests, then use the library search to see if the DJ has the song you want to hear! We hate sending e-mails back saying, "Sorry, don't have it!" Also, bear in mind that DJ's are the ones in control of their own shows. If they choose to play a request, it is their choice. Do not harass other players for the choices they make in songs.
Global Channel
The Cape has a global channel! If you desire to be a part of said channel, then please message one of the DJ's and they'll invite you to the coolest global channel based on Virtue! You can talk with the DJ's and other listeners about music, movies, builds, and more! Don't miss out on the fun!
Final Notes
Please remember, the Staff at The Cape are players, just like you. We volunteer our time and energy to help make the game more of a community and more fun for those who choose to listen. If you don't happen to like the music or a particular DJ, simply click "Stop" on your media player and turn up the in-game music, or put on your own tracks. You are not obligated to listen, though we do appreciate your patronage.
Thanks, and enjoy The Cape!
