Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 272

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-272/

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 272. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
A varied, slightly quirky ambient and electronic journey mixing French precision, personal storytelling, and hauntological grit.
Side A moves from kinetic speed machines and diary entries into monolithic atmospheres, cherry-sweet narratives, and limbic depths. Side B shifts through soapworks hauntology, glass colours, ticking pianos, translucent synths, and ends on questions of reception and what comes next.
Overall mood: Contemplative yet playful, with a mix of intimacy, nostalgia, and quiet curiosity. Perfect for focused listening, late-afternoon drives, or evening immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,098 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
Side A
On this episode you’ll hear Paris-based artist Stéphane Laporte, better known as DOMOTIC, and a track from an album I’ve been spinning a lot since its release. The album is Fourrure Sounds Vol. 3 to 6, and the track is “Bolide” (which translates as “Speed Machine”). It’s one of my favourite releases this year, and the 36-track cassette version is available through Astra Solaria Recordings.
Staying in France, we have artist and label curator Richard Francés with “12 Décembre 2024” from the album Afterwork III (Février 2024), out on his own Hylé Tapes — where you can still grab one of the five remaining cassettes.
Next, another Hylé Tapes artist, this time Tokyo-based Raphael Leray, with “Akurah” from the 2015 release MONOLITH.
Then something a little different: Salt Lake City singer-songwriter and indietronica artist Josaleigh Pollett, with her captivating storytelling on “Cherry” from the latest album If I Let It Quiet.
We’re back on Hylé Tapes for the title track from the 2024 album Biodiverse by the trio Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster.
Closing Side A is my Glaswegian mate Fragile X with “Limbic” from the 2021 album Hive (previously featured on the Trip FM compilation Blue Shift).
But first, to set the vibe, DOMOTIC with “Bolide”.
Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us.
One side flip. Just the music.
Side B
Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting.
You’ll hear another track by Glass Roots from the 2020 album The Idiot — an older Triplicate Records release I’ve been revisiting lately (and all their older material is name-your-price, which is where my broke self tends to hang out). This is “Reds Blue”.
Then back to France for Mea Poulpa and the wonderful piano-based (dare I say almost trip-hop) piece “Clock” from the album Beyond Glass, out on Camembert Électrique.
Next we head to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and BVSMV (co-founder of Triplicate Records) with the 2017 synthwave track “Translucent” from the album Skies, available via Cardiff’s TimeSlave Recordings among other places.
Near the end we’re treated to an exclusive from the forthcoming compilation The Synthesis Co-Op Volume One — an amazing collective of artists, many of whom have appeared on this channel over the years (The Earl of Dean, Pulsliebhaber, HDRF, Swimming Lesson, Visionary Lines and more). The compilation drops 4 September. Go follow tscoop.bandcamp.com to stay in the know. Here is “Are You Receiving Us?” by the always delightful Drew Huddart, aka Scholars of the Peak.
And finally we travel to Buenos Aires for Aughflair and the 2017 piece “What Comes Next” from the album Rewritten, also available via the presently defunct Triplicate side-label Mangled Music Co.
But first, our friend Paul Broome, better known as Warmfield, with a track from the Woodford Halse compilation Undulating Waters 10. Warmfield has contributed to my first two compilations and also appears on the new Synthesis Co-Op Volume One (which isn’t out yet but is already stunning). This is “Waterton vs Walton Soapworks”.
Enjoy…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 271

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-271/

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 271. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
A reflective, slightly mysterious ambient journey through memory, floating worlds, and quiet observation.
Side A drifts from cello warmth and barking flowers into micro-drones, memory death, and floating liminality. Side B moves through ghosts, watchful figures, dusty relics, field-recorded nostalgia, watery reflections, and ends in Borges-inspired shadow.
Overall mood: Contemplative, nostalgic, and gently enigmatic — full of soft transitions and quiet emotional depth. Perfect for late-night listening, deep focus, or peaceful solitude.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,095 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
Side A
On this episode you’ll hear Stockholm cellist Henrik Meierkord teaming up with Indian artist Suseti for the title track “Hilate” from their latest name-your-price release.
Then Rotterdam’s Ard Janssen, better known as Ard Bit, guides us through surrender and introspection with “Barking Flowers” from the album Juxtaposed. That’s out on Dronarivm’s side hustle DƎЯRDE.
Next, the trio of Zach Frizzell, Kaiton Slusher and James Clements — zakè, Ossa and ASC — open their remarkable album Microliths and Momentary Drifts with the delicate “Microlith 1”.
After that, a piece from Boards of Canada’s Inferno: the quietly devastating “Memory Death”, out on Warp Records of course.
Then a collaboration between Tomotsugu Nakamura and David Cordero: the floating “Ukiyo” (floating world) from the album Aware 哀れ which in Japanese translates as pity or sorrow. Thats out on the wonderful Home Normal label.
Closing Side A is Venezuelan artist Angelo Sanellix together with Mexican producer Justin Ortiz (as SpoonBeats), offering liminal ambience in “long time ago” from the album Distant Particles, released on the prolific Stockholm label Valley View Records.
But first, the opening track of the cassette: Henrik Meierkord & Suseti with “Hilate”.
Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us.
One side flip. Just the music.
Side B
Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting.
You’ll hear one of the strongest supporters of this channel — Gareth Evans, known here as HDRF — with an exclusive track from the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures (out 26 September). His piece is the wonderfully titled “Mr Baines (Is Watching You)”.
Then Scottish modular artist and Dustopian Frequencies curator Everyday Dust offers “Maria” from his latest album The Relic Room.
Next, Chesapeake, Virginia’s Ryan Watts (Akira Film Script), a long-time friend of the library and contributor to The Mystery of the Night. Here he brings the heavily field-recorded “N6-79” from Over Exposure on Driftworks. Shout-out to Andrew Heath for keeping that label so consistently excellent.
Near the end we drift through elemental sensations with Intact Veils (Kraków) and “Image of Water” from the album Saint Imago, released on The Artificial Pine.
And finally, Paul Haslinger and Christian Wittman close the tape with “Elogio de La Sombra” (In Praise of Shadow) from their album Borges — an immersive soundscape into the world of Jorge Luis Borges — on their own label NOION Music.
But first, Raleigh, North Carolina’s Derrick Stembridge, better known as Drifting In Silence and here as Unknowndivide, opens Side B with the drifting drones and IDM glitches of “Ghost” from the album Existence on Labile Records.
Enjoy…

Side A
00:00:00 Henrik Meierkord & Suseti – Hilate
Warm, cello-led ambient with soft Indian-tinged textures and gentle emotional depth. Intimate and luminous.
00:07:15 Ard Bit – Barking Flowers
Surreal, introspective ambient with organic oddity and a sense of quiet surrender. Curious and atmospheric.
00:09:55 zakè, Ossa, ASC – Microlith 1
Delicate, micro-detailed drone ambient with crystalline fragments and patient, drifting beauty. Precise and immersive.
00:10:52 Boards of Canada – Memory Death
Classic BoC nostalgia laced with quiet finality and warped analogue haze. Haunting and bittersweet.
00:13:17 Tomotsugu Nakamura & David Cordero – Ukiyo
Floating, transient ambient (ukiyo = floating world) with soft Japanese-Spanish elegance and gentle suspension.
00:16:22 SanelliX & SpoonBeats – long time ago
Liminal, memory-soaked ambient with distant warmth and soft, half-remembered atmosphere. Melancholic and spacious.
Side B
00:20:05 Unknowndivide – Ghost
Drifting drones with subtle IDM glitches and spectral presence. Ethereal and quietly restless.
00:26:05 HDRF – Mr Baines (Is Watching You)
Warm, slightly watchful ambient with community spirit and gentle narrative intrigue. Comforting yet mysterious.
00:32:39 Everyday Dust – Maria
Modular, relic-like ambient with dusty textures and quiet emotional weight. Atmospheric and intimate.
00:37:08 Akira Film Script – N6-79
Field-recording rich ambient captured with cassette warmth and domestic nostalgia. Personal and comforting.
00:45:02 Intact Veils – Image of Water
Elemental, reflective ambient with fluid, mirrored textures and soft emotional clarity. Serene and contemplative.
00:48:29 Paul Haslinger, Christian Wittman – Elogio de La Sombra
Literary, shadow-praising ambient inspired by Borges — deep, enigmatic, and richly atmospheric. Profound closer.

A warm, emotionally rich journey blending folktronica, French charm, playful downtempo, and deep ambient reflection.
Side A moves from lovers’ carvings and apple-sweet whimsy into fragile unravelling and sunny British humour. Side B settles into forest loops, nostalgic balconies, aching screams, Eno’s calm, and ends with graceful pressure.
Overall mood: Intimate, nostalgic, and gently uplifting — full of soft emotion, playful moments, and quiet beauty. Perfect for relaxed evenings, reflective drives, or golden-hour listening.
I’ll introduce Side A now and Side B in the intermission. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 1 095 other shows whenever they like.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 268

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-268/

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.

A reflective, slightly dark ambient journey through memory, menace, quantum subtlety, and quiet acceptance.
Side A moves from flaming intensity and small-room nostalgia into protective shielding, occult precision, and wave-function deviations. Side B drifts through mossy mind-fog, returning places, hauntological guidance, Moog meadows, and ends on accepted suffering and powerlessness.
Overall mood: Contemplative, melancholic, and atmospheric — blending intimate warmth with subtle darkness and philosophical calm. Ideal for deep listening, late-night reflection, or quiet immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now and Side B in the intermission. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 1 093 other shows whenever they like.
As a subscriber you also get access to my new series Veil Frequencies based on a fictional world I’ve created called The Resonant Veil Enclave.

Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures.

On this TVCL episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by James Bernard with the title track from his album “In A Small Room, Decades Ago” a love letter to the magical 90s. Grab a CD copy from the Past Inside the Present label.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 267

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-267/

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 267. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps.
A stylish, cinematic journey through hauntology, Italian library grooves, cosmic jazz, and dusty intrigue.
Side A offers ceremonial nostalgia, Arabian adventure, 1970s modernism, and space-age elegance. Side B shifts into psychedelic funk, flowing calm, low-orbit jazz, conspiratorial dust, fiery intensity, and extraction drama.
Overall mood: Retro-cinematic, groovy, and atmospheric — blending playful sophistication with subtle mystery. Perfect for golden-hour listening, stylish drives, or immersive evening sessions.
I’ll introduce Side A now and Side B in the intermission. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 1 091 other shows whenever they like.
As a subscriber you also get access to my new series Veil Frequencies based on a fictional world I’ve created called The Resonant Veil Enclave. Each episode is around three hours and recorded from one of the floors of the 24 buildings in the veil. You can read about it on my Substack page. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures.
If I mention the labels Four Flies Records, ATA Records, Batov Records, Buried Treasure or Sonor Music Editions you’ll instantly get the vibe for this episode. A cinematic journey through hauntology, Italian library grooves, cosmic jazz, and dusty intrigue.
On this TVCL episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by the hypnotic sequencing of Italian artist Giuliano Sorgini, in the track “Arabian Safari” from the 7” single titled “Savana Selvaggia” available through Four Flies Records.
Followed by friends of the show and one of my all time favourite outfits “The Twelve Hour Foundation” and the super recognisable retro moog sounds of their track “Roissy 1977” which is taken from the final Undulating Waters compilation, and Woodford Halses 100th release. Get it.
Then Sarnia, Ontario based “EKT” with a groovy synth outing in the piece “Pioneer Plaque” from a 32 track album called “Pura Vida” A fascinating release where almost all the tracks have super psychedelic videos. The album is also free to anyone who sends a screenshot or photo proof of them deleting Spotify and/or any social media app.
The penultimate track of the first side of the virtual cassette is by Eric Wetherell and the theme from the 1975 HTV series “Sky”. The shortest track of the episode at just 47 seconds. Suggestive and eerie. From the well sold out Album “Sky” on the Buried Treasure label.
Finishing off the first half, we go one year earlier with a track by Milan based Barigozzi Group and a bouncing library jazz track complete with cowbell from 1974 titled “Violet Lips” from the album Woman’s Colours where all the track names are a specific colour combined with a different part of the body.
But first, to set the vibe is the outstanding Jim Jupp aka Belbury Poly and the psychedelic organ infused track “Scarlet Ceremony” from his album “The Owl’s Map” which was originally released back in 2006 on the Ghost Box label.
Now settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
One side flip, just the music.

Welcome sonic travellers to the B side. Six tracks down and six to go.
You’ll hear Lee Spreadbury better known as Gurulee and his wonderfully nostalgic prog-fusion jazz waltz infected track “Flo” from the EP “Into the Light” which is recorded at ATA Studios.
Followed by a group of artists that have probably sneaked their way into this episode in a few ways. Here is Leeds based, Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble, with the downtempo, sexy, flute injected, library piece titled “Low Orbit” from the album “The Kármán Line” which is out on ATA Records.
After that Nitzan Dana also known as Islands On Tape with a downtempo, hypnotic, cinematic and rimshot heavy piece “Dust Conspiracy” from the EP of the same name. Dropping October 16th on Batov Records.
Then the penultimate track for today comes in the form of the psychedelic jazz-funk grooves of Italys Atabasca and the track “Hell Dorado”. Grab one of the last vinyls of the self titled album on Killer Grooves Records.
Finishing us off is the label that is also a band, Leeds based, “ATA Records” with a party lifter complete with handclaps and bongos in the track, “The Galata Extraction” from the must have album “The Library Archive Vol. 4”
But first, Miles Newbold who, I believe is the entire ensemble of The Natural Yogurt Band, with the busy, neo-library, psychedelic track titled “On The Other Side”. Get a vinyl copy of the album “Parasol” from Sonor Music Editions. Enjoy…

Side A
00:00:00 Belbury Poly – Scarlet Ceremony
Hauntological library-inspired ambient with ceremonial warmth and scarlet, nostalgic glow. Whimsical and atmospheric.
00:10:33 Giuliano Sorgini – Arabian Safari
Exotic, cinematic Italian library music with desert adventure, swirling percussion, and 70s flair. Groovy and transportive.
00:12:34 The Twelve Hour Foundation – Roissy 1977
Retro-futurist ambient evoking 1970s airport modernism with sleek, institutional charm. Nostalgic and cool.
00:16:24 EKT – Pioneer Plaque
Space-age synth inspired by the Voyager plaque, with cosmic messages and interstellar wonder. Thoughtful and expansive.
00:19:06 Eric Wetherell – Sky – Main Theme
Classic library theme with soaring, open-sky melodies and bright, optimistic orchestration. Uplifting and cinematic.
00:19:51 Barigozzi Group – Violet Lips
Smooth, sensual Italian library jazz with violet-hued elegance and sophisticated grooves. Stylish and alluring.
Side B
00:25:05 The Natural Yogurt Band – On The Other Side
Psychedelic, organic funk-jazz with warm, other-side curiosity and playful analogue textures. Groovy and adventurous.
00:28:31 Gurulee – Flo
Flowing, fluid prog fusion with gentle movement and soft, continuous motion. Hypnotic and serene.
00:32:09 Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble – Low Orbit
Cosmic jazz with low-orbit float, spacey improvisation, and interstellar cool. Expansive and swinging.
00:38:00 Islands On Tape – Dust Conspiracy
Dusty, conspiratorial psychedelic groove with tape-worn textures and mysterious, island isolation. Atmospheric and intriguing.
00:40:32 Atabasca – Hell Dorado
Dark, gold-rush cinema with hellish heat and dorado intensity. Dramatic and fiery.
00:45:37 ATA Records – The Galata Extraction
Cinematic extraction-themed ambient with Galata intrigue and tense, narrative drive. Moody and evocative.

A contemplative, atmospheric ambient journey through gravity, trapped moments, and fiery elements.
Side A drifts from weightless lapses and arcane nights into sinister awakenings, amber preservation, and circular comfort. Side B shifts through nostalgic postcards, patterned cosiness, collaborative warmth, and ends on flame and dated reflection.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 263

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-263/

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 263. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps.
A varied, atmospheric ambient journey blending mystical folklore, northern chill, and intimate warmth.
Side A moves from relaxing breaks and cliff-hanging tension into union commentary and mosaic beauty. Side B drifts through coastal calm, wizardly myths, hyperborean ice, sinister clouds, sunny winds, and communal glass.
Overall mood: Contemplative, mystical, and gently dynamic with a mix of dark mystery and hopeful warmth. Perfect for deep listening, nature connection, or late-night immersion.
As of now I’ll introduce Side A now and Side B in the intermission. as I’ve put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 263 episodes as well as the 820 plus other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for 3 quid anymore. It used to be a coffee.
As a subscriber you also get access to my new series Veil Frequencies based on a fictional world I’ve created called The Resonant Veil Enclave. Each episode is around three hours and recorded from one of the floors from the 24 buildings in the veil. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures.
On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by the collaboration of Analogue Path & channel friend Akira Film Script with the track “Lamkin” from volume two of the fantastic compilation series “The Silent Harvest” which you should really add to your collection if you haven’t already. They’re out on the Manchester based label FOLK POLICE RECORDINGS.
Then an artist that contacted me recently, fellow Irishman, Kilkenny based, Sean Grimes who goes bye the alias “NQUAUS” with the shortest track of the episode with the longest title “Rushe Cuts- NEW START- May 26- Vol. 1 – 15 – v.1.2 -Cliff Hanger” from the self released EP “Rushe Cuts vol.1 (Teaser)”.
After that Gordon Chapman-Fox an artist who is no stranger to the channel. A man with his noggin in the right place. “Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan” with the soaring track “Part of the Union” from the album “People & Industry Special Edition” with 4 bonus tracks from the 2021 original album, and you can grab that from the Castles In Space label.
This is followed by the Auckland, New Zealand artist Jim Marjoram and another piece from “The Silent Harvest Volume Two” FOLK POLICE RECORDINGS release the dark track is called “Lass of Lochroyan”.
Finishing off the first half is Berlin-based French musician arc rae and the stunning track “Mosaic” from the album “Bow and Arrow” and that’s out on long time channel supporter Las Vegas based Mystery Circles.
But first, to set the vibe is a collaboration I played on the last episode by Third Kind Records label curator Nicholas Langley together with university buddy Stephen Cousins. They are collectively known as Hz & Fisty Kendal here with the track “Relaxing Break” from the album “Now What?”
Now settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
One side flip, just the music.

Welcome to the B side. Six tracks down and six to go.
Starting us off is Liverpool based artist Borchardt with the bubbling piece titled “Hanko” from the self titled, self released album and also on the outstanding periodical magazine from Wirrals finest Moolakii Club Audio Interface.
Then another artist I played on the previous episode, Bristol based HAWKSMOOR with a medieval inspired “Myrddin Wyltt” from the album “Yclept Thorn” which you can obtain via the Library Of The Occult label.
After that an album I’ve played a lot lately and one of my favourite of the year so far “Petite Constellations” by Seattle based Bluetech here with the superb track “Hyperborealis”. You can grab the album from Bluetechs Bandcamp page, also Evans own label Behind The Sky on vinyl and Ian Boddy curated DiN Records for your CD version.
Then I’ve gone back to 2017 and a track from channel friend Belial Pelegrim titled “Followed by a Sinister Cloud” from the compilation release “Do You” from the, now defunct, Mangled Music Co., who were an affiliate of Triplicate Records.
Then the penultimate piece for today comes in the form of the 2014 track “Sun wind” by Protuberance from an album I’ve also played from in the previous episode “Recollections” go and grab a name your price version on the Bulgarian Mahorka label.
Finishing us off is UK duo Suncastle & Paris Texas known as Glass Roots with the soothing piece “Now Everybody” from their 2020 Triplicate Records release “The Idiot”.
