Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Hey. Welcome. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-five. We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous. But really it’s just me and the frequencies in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets we exist. Stream it free for seven days on Mixcloud. The background track is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11 on Bandcamp. The episodes are sonic journeys with metaphysical flips at the halfway mark—perfect for long walks, mental wanders, or quiet moments alone with the universe. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins. This episode is broadcasting from Brewery Ångkvarns Bryggeriet Uppsala. Headphones on. Let time dissolve. And let the frequencies claim you.

Hey. Welcome. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-three.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous. But really it’s just me and the frequencies in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets we exist.
Stream it free for seven days on Mixcloud. The background track is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11 on Bandcamp.
The episodes are sonic journeys with metaphysical flips at the halfway mark — perfect for long walks, mental wanders, or quiet moments alone with the universe.
We’re bunching it today — three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
This episode is broadcasting from The Londoner pub in Stockholm with the coordinates ///product.subsets.weekends.
#
Starting us off: a shimmering remix from Loopatronica, a brief suspended moment from Hi-Field, and Virtually J stepping out of the shadows with something quietly unsettling. Headphones on. Let time dissolve. And let the frequencies claim you.
#
Next we drift into Darryl Wakelin’s Swimming Lesson in a playful library daydream, Loula Yorke and Charlotte Jolly weaving something ancient and watery, and James Osland reminding us how everything starts from almost nothing.
#
Now the air gets heavier and more fragile: Sleep Chrysalis letting dreams fade, Scholars of the Peak dredging up sparkles from the deep, and Clariloops opening something very gently.
#
We cross into field recordings and memory: Ana Habesh calling from Vanuatu, Then we flip the virtual cassette and find willowlaun dropping the ultimate New Zealand ambient pop moment, and Hverheij stepping into the realm of outside possibilities.
#
Sunlight, crystals, and liquid spaces now: Miguel Otero & Raquel Pavón speaking with the light, Arcane Trickster in crystalline suspension, and Scav building a living terrarium.
#
Loops, snow, and southern flavours: petr drkula spinning prime loops, Trevlad wandering through bank snow turkeys, and Saïph serving Marseille au riz.
#
Thanks for floating here with me. I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se, on Trevor Lewis on Substack, and marked in the timeline like little glowing breadcrumbs.
If you’re still listening… you’re in the club. No meetings. No rules. Just dust, frequencies and me.
Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
For the final stretch we stay with Mahorka and a couple of great tracks that didn’t quite fit in my Planck Tone sessions but fit nicely here: Mloski – Shaper Mloski bending the waveform like it owed him money… beautiful. followed by nfc – ddopl whispering the last word in a language the machines haven’t learned yet. From Mahorka’s very first release Music for Elevators Vol. 1 way back in 2004.
That’s the whole set. You’ve been listening to… well, everything.
A place to let loose. A short break from the ambience that usually dominated the channel.
Back with another outing of Alone on the Dance Floor.
This series comes out whenever I can make the time to create them. Like all my shows. I am not affiliated with any station and do not get paid for this work. I rely entirely on labels and artists sending me material, an unquenchable thirst for sharing great sounds, a handful of Mixcloud subscribers and a few sales from Bandcamp.
Good evening… or morning… or whatever smeared fragment of clock time you’ve drifted into tonight. This is EXPANSIVE WAVES 26. I’m Trevor — your host, your unreliable cartographer of the long haul, your occasional sonic conspirator.
This one’s not built for the impatient. Eight pieces. Each one stretching beyond twelve minutes. Together they uncoil for over three hours. If you came looking for hooks, drops, or anything that resembles forward motion, best to paddle elsewhere. Or just dim the lights, let the room breathe, and allow the ceiling to become a slow-moving planetarium. That works too.
Big thanks to Ivo Petrov at the Mahorka label for nudging me into a Plank Tone. I got gloriously lost and ended up delivering four. The first surfaced on April 8th. Tonight you’ll hear more of those strange, unhurried faces — independent corners, leftfield wanderers, music that refuses to be hurried.
We open with a twenty-four-minute soup. For anyone who’s ever been in a band, this is that glorious end-of-session moment when everyone’s a little fried and the music starts melting at the edges.
Merlin’s Spell — Merlin’s Spell [Full Demo] A warm, hazy collective trance where sounds blur into one another like ink dropped in still water. Recorded back in 1978, gently refurbished for 2026. Out on The Dream Journal Institute — every penny heading to local libraries and quiet good causes.
That was Merlin’s Spell with Merlin’s Spell. Settle in now. Let the kettle do its slow work. Let the cat claim your chest like a small, purring dictator. Let the outside world keep spinning without you for a while.
Next, a dear friend of the show: Drew Huddart, recording as Scholars of the Peak. Fresh from a live set at Dubrek in Derby — the whole concert, audience whoops and all, because Drew decided not to chop it into polite pieces. Glorious nostalgic synths that feel like warm Sunday light through old lace curtains in the Peak District.
Scholars of the Peak — Live @ Dubrek Studios, Friday 10th April 2026 Bleeps and warm analogue sighs drifting through a room full of gentle human noise — the kind of set that makes you nostalgic for the future.
Now we arrive at the longest single piece I’ve ever slipped into this programme — a full hour, trimmed by a few cheeky seconds just so the software would swallow it. This is serious business.
OdNu + Ümlaut — Metamorphoses An ever-shifting ambient landscape that never settles, never repeats, never lets you look away. Not lazy drift — this is meticulous, constantly breathing evolution. Out on Audiobulb, arriving June 6th. Prepare to be quietly astonished.
An old favourite now — the Russian master x.y.r. who can drop you straight into deep jungle with nothing more than a few well-placed field recordings and patient tones.
x.y.r. — altered zone (longform edition) Birdsong threading through endless green layers, turning any room into a porch overlooking humid canopy at dusk. Tip for fellow travellers: when in doubt, add birds. They open windows that weren’t there before.
Back into the Mahorka family, 2019 vintage.
Thomas Park — Failsafe Blade Runner rain on a corrugated tin roof, random synth trumpet stabs cutting through toxic haze. Neon signs flickering in puddles that never quite dry.
Still in the Mahorka stable, this time 2014.
Ab uno — Remorae (b side) Deep drone waters where subtle synth lines move like slow silver fish just beneath the surface — barely visible, yet impossible to ignore once you notice them.
Penultimate unfolding, from The Jewel Garden label’s compilation.
Floating House Ensemble — Seven Sax and strings delicately sprinkled over choral swells, like light catching on the edge of a slow-moving tide. As the Bandcamp page quietly reminds us: “I stood there, the whole day wrapped around me. I stood there, crying, smelling vine.”
And so the waves begin their gentle retreat for another evening. Eight long forms. Eight patient unfoldings. If any of them settled into the quieter corners of your night, you’ll find the links and love on the episode page at trevor.se and in the Mixcloud comments.
Feel free to leave something on the timeline — a half-thought, a soft sigh, or even a single emoji that somehow contains the entire universe.
We close episode twenty-six with Michael Plaster, recording as yttriphie.
yttriphie — Paddock of Skies Twinkling space music from the album Solipsis on Projekt Records — delicate starlight that slowly swells until the whole sky feels like it’s breathing with you.
Until the next fragment of drifting time pulls us back into the same warm current… this is Trevor, signing off from EXPANSIVE WAVES 26.
Cheerio…
(Tracklist with links remains exactly as provided — because even in the longform fog, some things should stay perfectly clear.)

Hey everyone… Trevor here, welcome. I’ve always wanted to be a café DJ — you know, the kind who reads the room, feels the energy, and lets the music flow with whatever vibe the people bring in that day. Life took me down so many beautiful roads, but this particular dream… well, it’s still waiting to come true. So today, I’m bringing a little piece of that dream right here for you. This is my series of café and lounge-flavoured sounds — smooth, soulful grooves made for chilling, for unwinding, for good conversations and even better silences. Whether you’re sipping coffee, working on your laptop, curled up on the couch, or just needing a moment to breathe… Let these tracks wrap around you like warm sunlight through the café window. You’re listening to Trev’s Virtual Café. Pull up a seat… and let’s chill.

Hey. Welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the wall. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-one. We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous. But really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets I exist. Stream free for seven days on Mixcloud. Background track tonight is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11. The episode is a sonic journey with a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe that definitely isn’t watching you back. Massive shout out to Ivo Petrov of Mahorka for pulling me into the Planck Tone series. Big love to my latest followers Andy InPhase. Check his mix Beautiful Nonsense. Cedric Wattergniaux (Kilmarth) who I played back on episode 173, Julian Kalchev ( Virtually J ) who I played on the latest Alone on the Dance Floor episode and Claudio Gasparini who has a massive following with less than ten mixes. You’re doing something right.
Anyway. Headphones on. Let time dissolve. And let the frequencies claim you. We’re bunching it tonight—three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins. Tonight’s episode is broadcasting from… molars.blunt.notices. Which is the location of Miyakodori—a Japanese-style gastro bar here in Stockholm where the food probably whispers secrets when the lights go out. Let’s go.
First cluster incoming. The episodes longest piece at 11:24. Just making the 12 minute limit. Vel Raine drifts in like bioluminescent waves from some distant galactic tide—Galactic Ocean Waves Flickering. Anything over 12 minutes ends up on another series of mine EXPANSIVE WAVES. Then Fm Outt with that beautiful, futuristic sadness—Incomplete Kisses. Out on the Secuencias Temporales label. And closing the trio, yours truly with something off the old virtual shelf—Caravan Grew Vaccines. These three are about to melt into each other. Don’t fight it.
Still with me? Good. The walls are thinning.
Next transmission packet. Heading back to 2007 and Sevensy opens a glowing doorway with Moon Arch. Out on the Mahorka label. Who I’ve done a series of Planck Tone specials for. The first is available now. Stewart Keller follows with the, graceful exhale—Swan Song. Then another long one at 10:27. Lee Evans slides in sideways with Bow Tel Banti—because why not. Out on The Jewel Garden which is described as being part label, pure vanity Three more stitches in the dream.
Third and final cluster of the night. French artist, Near Stoic paints movement in light—Kinematic Lights. Out on Third Kind Records. Foxwarren gets not serious in Serious. And Time Rival affirms existence with Also Yes. Lean in. This one’s slippery.
One last track before the flip from Paul Beaudoin who goes plucky on Mercury’s Whisper. Out on Chitra Records sub label Ambient Cat. You know the drill. The frequencies don’t stop just because the clock does.
Side B
The lights are lower. The sounds are looser. Same rules: three transmissions stitched together like half-remembered dreams. First B Side packet. Going live now. GODTET brings in Cantus—big, orchestral, locked-in groove with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra riding shotgun. Out on La Sape Records TOMC follows with the 8 minute journey—18, Chasing the Sun (Part 1, 2 & 3). And Portland Vows closes it with Stone Children—haunting little shadows from the north. Out on Third Kind Records. Let these three pull you under.
Next cluster. Snow is falling sideways tonight. Erik Wøllo opens with Snow Tides—vast, Norwegian winter textures stretching out like frozen fjords. Out on Projekt records El Michels Affair slides in cool and cinematic with the Indifference (Instrumental). Out on Big Crown Records. I’m loving this release. Library music just fills a hole in me. Then mytrip whispers annie—a Mahorka ghost from the archive, quiet and close. Headphones tighter. This one’s cold and intimate.
Last trio of the night. Scott Orr with the simple, devastating Scott. Which I discovered from the recent Late-Night Tales release curated by Barry Can’t Swim Jackson Mico Milas takes us Sea, Interior. Also on That Late-Night Tales release. And Grammy-nominated Tim Story ends the main transmissions with Decelarate or Fasten—because sometimes you need both at once. One more cluster before we fade.
You just heard Tim Story’s Decelarate or Fasten, Jackson Mico Milas’ Sea, Interior, and Scott Orr’s Scott. One final transmission still to come… The great Anubis Rude closes the show with Transmutation. Out on artist curated label Ingrown Records.
That’s the whole set. You’ve been listening to… well, everything. But the last transmission you heard was Anubis Rude’s Transmutation pulling us through the veil. Thanks for floating here with me. I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se, on Trevor Lewis on Substack, and marked in the timeline like little glowing breadcrumbs. If you’re still listening… you’re in the club. No meetings. No rules. Just dust and frequencies. Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com. Send stories for Chord Confessions. I’ll read them in my sleep-voice. See you in the next crack in the wall. Cheerio…
