Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 156
16 December 2025

“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑five‑six of the Virtual Cassette Library. Theme is Weaned Them Quietly—that’s the track you hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map if you’re curious enough to look it up on What3Words or YouTube. As usual, it’s ninety minutes, two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know—Craig Padilla on Projekt Records, Thom Yorke on XL Recordings—and others you might stumble across for the first time, like Sulk Rooms from Honley, or Rupert Lally out of Switzerland. Michal Turtle and HOVE bring us something dreamlike from Basel, Chris Randall sends mechanical pulses from Phoenix on Triplicate Records, and Redvet offers a guiding star from Floodlit Recordings. Now, there’s a little game running through these episodes starting with this episode. Each week, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten shows, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which, if you’re counting, means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ve got it right. Later on, we’ll hear Jarguna, Odile Bruckert, and Henrik Meierkord weaving textures somewhere between drone and kosmische; Daniel Vincent and Rick Sanders sketching out their own universes; Camp of Wolves from Lunar Module; Onepointwo with melodies that feel like they’ve always been there; Cole Pulice drifting through saxophone dreamscapes on Moon Glyph; and MICADO with a Berlin School ambient dream courtesy of Cyclical Dreams. On the flip side, Raica on Silver Threads, Lorna Dune, Signalstoerung with Asja Skrinik on Adventurous Music, Jordane Prestrot from France, and a piece of my own as Trevlad alongside Masefield Labs and gribbles. Fisty Kendal, Floormat Doormat, frostlake from Sheffield, Tom Bragl on Kahvi Collective, Kutiman and Ouzo Bazooka with a desert groove from Batov Records, Dual Dialect climbing pyramids, and Ghost In The Loop from Imaginary North. It’s ambient, drone, kosmische, experimental pop, modular synths, hauntology, global funk, and a bit of humour thrown in. The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you. First track up: Craig Padilla, Calypsos Improv Live 2011…”
