A dimly lit workshop cluttered with circuit boards and flickering screens, shadows dancing as digital pulses awaken forgotten machines. Kicking off Side A with my own self released alias. This is Trevlad’s “Tablet Stocks Mice” from the album TVCL 09.
A crumbling tower under stormy skies, echoes of shattered illusions raining down like fragmented glass. Next up, Юродивый (yurodivy) with “Fallen Expectations ll” from the 50 track NYP album Commemorative Compilation released by Secuencias Temporales.
Imagine a bustling market at dusk, spices mingling in the air as rhythmic grooves weave through the crowd like invisible threads. Here’s Kaidi Tatham’s “Any Flavour” from the album Two Syllables Volume Twenty Two, on First Word Records.
An endless void, stars collapsing inward, pulling you into a cosmic silence dotted with faint, haunting signals. Farazdeck brings “Void” from the album Animae Perdita (ST017), courtesy of Secuencias Temporales.
See gentle waves lapping at a forgotten shore, mist rising as melodies drift by like autumn leaves on the wind. Clariloops’ “Pass Me By” from the album The Quiet Below, released by whitelabrecs.
Frost-covered cliffs along a rugged coast, deer silhouettes against a winter sunset, horns echoing through the chill. Phexioenesystems’ “Coastal Winter Deerhorn” from Patterns in Condensate, on Lunar Module.
A quiet farewell at twilight, streetlights blurring in the rain as final words hang in the ether. Gareth Jones’ “parting / nosDa” from ElectroGenetic 2 – Nos Da, a Mortality Tables product.
A woven lattice of vines climbing ancient ruins, sunlight filtering through in golden patterns. storyinsoil’s “Lattice” from the album distillation, released by Ingrown Records.
A city skyline at night, lights twinkling like distant galaxies, synth waves shimmering across the horizon. Ryu Oshi’s “Sparkling Night” from Cityfield: Ten Duets for Electric Piano and Synthesizer, on The Dream Journal Institute.
A shadowy alley where friends rally in chaos, urgency pulsing like a heartbeat in the dark. T-toe’s “Shes our friend and she’s crazy, We have to help her!” from The Vale of Shadows, on Sounds for the Soul Records.
Afternoon light piercing through clouds, flashes illuminating hidden landscapes in surreal bursts. Stereolab’s “Flashes In The Afternoon” from the album Cloud Land / Flashes In The Afternoon, released by Warp Records.
A zero-point field, equations dissolving into nothingness, potentials collapsing in elegant decay. Simon Heartfield’s “Nilpotent” from the Noon State EP, on Limbic Production.
B Side
Imagine awakening from a vivid reverie, the veil lifting as reality reshapes itself in unexpected forms. worriedaboutsatan’s “The Dream Is Over” from No Knock No Doorbell, self-released.
Barren fields under gray skies, the first flakes descending in silent promise. “Waiting for Snow” by Andrew Heath and Mi Cosa de Resistance, from the album Land, on Driftworks.
Cavernous depths where echoes reverberate, low frequencies rumbling like earthbound thunder. gribbles’ “Lows” from BOSH!, self-released.
Ancient temples shrouded in mist, realizations dawning like forbidden revelations – this one’s an exclusive preview, not yet out in the wild. Glacis with Henrik Meierkord’s “I Have Worshipped The Wrong Gods” from the upcoming album We Gape and We Are Healed, on whitelabrecs.
A lush garden bathed in golden light, mythical fruits ripening under eternal watch. Yakuza Jacuzzi’s “Jade Emperor´s Peach Garden part 1” from Wabi-Sabi, released by Cyclical Dreams.
Sun-drenched streets alive with infectious beats, shadows swaying in harmonious flow. Sababa 5’s “Asunsan” from Ça va Ça va, on Batov Records.
Ethereal threads connecting distant realms, pulses syncing in harmonious trance. Avsluta & Primal Code’s “Sahatā” from Commemorative Compilation , released by Secuencias Temporales.
That’s the end of the tape for Episode 183. Thanks for tuning in – keep exploring those independent sounds. Until next time, let the universe echo back.

Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 086
Shadow Variations.
🚀✨ Welcome to Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 086. Trevor here—transmitting once again from the fog-fringed sanctuary of Sollentuna, Sweden. Welcome aboard episode 086 of Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library, your sonic vessel for deep immersion and metaphysical resonance.
Today, we drift through a 90-minute odyssey: a two-sided portal cut into time, perfect for long twilight walks, candlelit notebooks, and cosmic solitude. At the halfway mark, the tape flips—and so might your perspective.
🌀 Our astral sponsors today include the tone keepers of Whitelabrecs, Batov Records, rohs! records, Driftworks, Downstream Records, Mahorka, and Audiobulb—labels that keep the spiritual machinery oiled and humming.
Featured artists lending their frequencies to the air: 🎴 Warmfield, Sons Of Faust, and Patrick R. Pärk. Special blessings to James at Viaduct Promotions for the Jamie Lidell offering, to Graham Thorpe and Plank Tone for kind echoes on episode 085, and to aeon music and ray of hope 858—for lighting torches in the archive.
🎶 This episode holds a single shimmering exclusive track by Adrian Lane—“Swallowed by the World,” from the album Where Once We Danced. Born from BBC Radio 3 whispers and strung across piano, strings, and eroded collages, Adrian’s newest work is a timeworn spell—a mist-cloaked remembrance written in chords and texture. It’s his most classical offering yet, tempered by ambient edge and handcrafted melancholy.
Alongside Adrian’s piece, the forest grows deeper with sonic threads from: Noctyrn, Jiri Jiri, Warmfield, Trevlad, Michele Di Martino, Bryan Rohmer, Jamie Lidell, Sons Of Faust, Andrew Heath, Mark Ellery Griffiths, Fabio Keiner, BVSMV, Bowing, Jeff Gburek, Patrick R. Pärk, Eje Eje, LOULA YORKE, Rival Consoles, Wilfried Hanrath, and Marc Neys.
No spoken interludes from me—this transmission breathes in uninterrupted form. Speak through the timeline, whisper in the comments. I’ll be listening.
