September ended somewhere between an orchard, a corn maze, and a dance party. Then October knocked. The Invitation begins ROCKTOBERRR with a black envelope, strange details, familiar threads, and the feeling that something has already started moving behind the door.

We took a little time off, wandered Wisconsin, got lost in a corn maze, found another story, opened an envelope we probably should have left alone, and danced anyway. This week: Somewhere Past the Orchard, The Invitation, and Fuck-It, We’re Dancing. Plus pumpkin spice cupcakes, because October is knocking.

After midnight, the signal changes. Velvet Umbrella Radio | After Hours follows darkwave, post-punk, dream-pop, strange transmissions, hidden recipes, haunted corridors, and the stories waiting between the stations.

Familiar songs return with different fingerprints as Eclectic Wonderland dives into remixes, alternate versions, strange transmissions, Dimension 5 snacks, and a few doors that probably should have stayed closed.

February 2026 was a big month for Eclectic Wonderland on WDRT 91.9 FM, celebrating the show’s 4-year anniversary, welcoming Mickey Fingers as a new co-host, and launching the After Hours world of Velvet Umbrella Radio. The month’s broadcasts featured indie, dream pop, darkwave, and Valentine-themed mixes curated by DJ Celeste (DJ Tea) and Mr. Announcer Man.
