The monthly freeform session pairs Chad DePasquale’s New Happy Gathering with Tyler Wilcox’s Doom and Gloom from the Tomb, this month spanning recent 2026 digs and autumnal instrumentals.
Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard continues its monthly residency on dublab, airing every third Sunday from 4 to 6 p.m. PT. The September 2026 edition keeps the program’s split-format structure intact, opening with Chad DePasquale’s New Happy Gathering before handing the second hour to Tyler Wilcox’s Doom and Gloom from the Tomb.
This month, DePasquale’s segment works through a set of recent 2026 finds, pulling from new releases and overlooked material without leaning on genre boundaries. Wilcox follows with what the show describes as an hour of existential daydreams and autumnal instrumentals — a quieter turn that fits the changing season. The pairing gives the broadcast a clear arc, moving from present-tense discovery into a more reflective, open-ended register.
The show operates outside standard playlist logic. It doesn’t chase trends or push a consistent mood; instead, it trusts the hosts’ selections to carry the hour. That approach has made Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard one of the more dependable freeform slots on dublab, where the curatorial voice matters more than the size of the audience. Sunday’s broadcast lands as a low-key but deliberate addition to the station’s late-afternoon schedule.
