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.

As this is episode 280 that makes it a best of show. Where I’ve chosen 12 favourites from over the years.
The best of shows remain free but everything else slips quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers after 7 days. Subscribers currently have 1,109 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. They also receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, and get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
