Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard Returns to Dublab for May Broadcast

The long-running Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard slot on dublab keeps its regular place on the calendar this month. Tyler Wilcox and Chad DePasquale split the two-hour show as they always do, airing every third Sunday from 4 to 6 p.m. Pacific. The broadcast has become one of the station’s quieter anchors. No fanfare. Just two DJs who know their lanes cold and dig deep enough to make the familiar feel foreign again.

This Sunday, Wilcox takes the opening hour under his Doom and Gloom from the Tomb banner. He’s promising instrumental detours through interstellar jazz and psych, the kind that moves sideways rather than forward. Breezy one moment, crunchy the next, with funk basslines drifting through the mix like something you half-remember from a late-night session decades ago. The description suggests less a genre exercise than a mood built from left-field corners of the 1970s and beyond.

DePasquale follows with New Happy Gathering, stacking an hour of hallucinogenic psych and weirdo freakbeat-pop. His curation leans toward the damaged end of the 1960s, where pop structure frays at the edges and melodies warp under the weight of echo and fuzz. It’s a logical complement to Wilcox’s set, the two hours threading together without ever stepping on each other’s feet.

The program runs Sunday, May 17, live on dublab. Tune in at 4 p.m. Pacific.
