Skivcentrum in Uppsala where I bought Bitches Brew.
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-six. 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 a record store in Uppsala where I bought Bitches Brew. Headphones on. Let time dissolve. And let the frequencies claim you.
A Side
Survey Channel – Jaa’abaní (Dustopian Frequencies, Celebrating The Bat Chapter 2: Into The Night, April 2026) A bat-radar pulse that maps the night sky in flickering code – Peel would’ve played this twice.
Justice – Repercussus (Dustopian Frequencies, Celebrating The Bat Chapter 2: Into The Night, April 2026) Echoes rebound like guilt in an empty church; dark, devotional techno.
Hamandra – Nocturnal Conundrum (Secuencias Temporales, various compilations circa 2020–2026) A puzzle wrapped in velvet dusk – hypnotic and slightly dangerous.
Tomoroh Hidari – Black Star Elevator (Mahorka, Music For Elevators Vol.4, December 2012) Rides the shaft between floors of reality; creaking, beautiful, eternal.
Recidivist – Characteristic Techniques (Mahorka, Eastern Depths IV, September 2020) Bulgarian underground grit that smells of solder and rain on concrete.
The Black Dog – Static Between Us (Dust Science / The Black Dog Bandcamp, Loud Ambient 2, April 2026) Sheffield static that feels like two old friends not quite touching.
Darkhalf – The Cave (Dustopian Frequencies – recent compilation appearance) Dripping limestone beats from somewhere far below the daylight world.
The Heartwood Institute – The Beach At Drigg – Rescued (Folk Police Recordings, Plague Dogs, April 2026) Haunting coastal elegy rescued from the tides of memory.

B Side
Hexham Wolf – The Night Singer (Dustopian Frequencies, Celebrating The Bat Chapter 2: Into The Night, April 2026) A lone howl that turns the dark into velvet theatre.
Dogs Versus Shadows & Nicholas Langley – Substation Doll Gets Its Own Back (Strategic Tape Reserve, 16mm, April 2026) Cassette ghosts reclaiming the power grid – playful, eerie, perfect.
Phil Geraldi – Taos Hum (ChakraWhip / Not Not Fun, Rural Deceased Undiscovered, May 2026) That low eternal buzz you can’t unhear once the desert gets inside you.
*Farmacia – Cinco Cuartos (Woodford Halse – yet to be released) Warm, flickering quarters of analogue light from the Doncaster vaults.
RIKAAR – Raining Space Mellow X (Rikaar Bandcamp – recent) Space rain that tastes like melancholy and neon.

Tim Stebbing – Homeward (Cyclical Dreams – recent) Gentle propulsion toward whatever home means tonight.
E.U.E.R.P.I. – Left-Right (Mahorka – recent) Stereo panning that feels like walking through two parallel memories.
Salamanda – allez, pousse! (Salamanda Bandcamp – recent) French-tinged push into brighter, stranger territory.
OID – i-ph jz master (LO Recordings – recent) Glitchy phone-jazz from the wires between worlds.
[Outro] You’ve been listening to… well, everything. Thanks for floating here with me. I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists.

No meetings. No rules. Just dust, frequencies and me. Send files, codes, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com. See you in the next crack in the wall. Cheerio…
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.

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.

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.)
