Lost Dance Mantra
Good day to you listeners, wherever you are. This is Trevor.
Welcome once again to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set itself. This episode titled Lost Dance Mantra is based on the track Sum Dance by Steve Zydek aka Wavefiler, from the split EP Area Flood, which comes out on May 15 via a label very dear to me Mystery Circles. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. If you can subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help.
Right then… here we go.
00:00:00 The Eyes and the Mistoids – The Neolithic Period

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 174
28 January 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve washed up in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. I’m Trevor, turning the reels in the half-light, playing custodian to these sounds that drift in from places most folk never bother to tune toward.
We’ve got twenty artists lined up across the two sides tonight, twenty fragments of cassette spirit. No rush, no hits, no pleading for your attention. Ambient drifts mingle with electroacoustic textures, spiritual jazz breathes alongside kraut-tinged electronics, improv flickers meet drone horizons. Patience is the only ticket required.
Side A coming right up as we ease in with Bary Center and The Source Of Something Greater – Guide Me Through The Hills Of Your Home – Third Kind Records back in 2020. I’d describe this as Textured ambient with a glitch undercurrent, dub-like pulses buried in meditative marshland haze, a quiet hope threading through the sadness.
Then Asheville, North Carolinas Spooqs brings the shortest track of the episode clocking in a 2:27 with Lyskae, The Fissure – Biomes. Cinematic electroacoustic soundscapes, a pilgrimage mapped in melody across dunes and into salt water, landscapes that remember your footprints.
CV Vision follows with The Jam – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. A slice from the label’s latest roundup, electronics carrying that Hamburg lineage of krautrock echoes and avant-garde restraint.
The longest offering this round at 6:53 Resonating With Life offers Spinning Out of The Skies – Resonating With Life – Cyclical Dreams. Drone and ambient suspended in slow rotation, skies that keep unfolding long after you’ve looked away.
Another short one at 2:50 Galecstasy & Mike Watt Trio step up with Imitation Squid – Wattzotica. Which came out today January 28 on A favourite label and channel sponsoring Mystery Circles. I’d say this is Free improvisation from the Joshua Tree, punk-edged bass from Watt meeting synths and drums in unscripted motion, raw and restless.
GODTET deliver Stepper – +The Sydney Symphony Orchestra – La SAPE records. Spiritual jazz meeting orchestral weight, live from the Sydney Opera House, improvisation threading through fixed structures like light through stone.
Now, me, Trevlad with Obey Beams Starting – TVCL 09. Ambient electronics pulled from the library’s own recent episodes, beams that start quiet and refuse to explain themselves.
Camp of Wolves and Summer’s End – Bear Creek – Castles in Space Lunar Module imprint. Fading seasonal glow, folk-tinged atmospheres cooling into dusk.
Angel Wail – When The Burden Felt Too Heavy. A solitary voice in the weight, A self released single that will be featured on my next compilation Puzzles of the Psyche. A reminder to get your entries in for this before March 25th. This Is classic synth shapings with a sad story.
And closing Side A, one of the longer pieces of the episode at 6:50 Jarguna / Odile Bruckert / Henrik Meierkord close the side with The First Sunrise I Remember – Furrows Of Memory – Projekt Records. Memory etched in gentle field recordings and strings, the first light recalled across years.
Side B.
Hipwell opens with Too Much – Too Much. Available through Island House Recordings. This is Direct, unadorned, a title that says everything and nothing more.
Hipnotic Earth brings Snow Begins To Fall – Islas Calm Cloud – Whitelabrecs. Winter settling in slow layers, calm cloud islands drifting.
OdNu, Mi Cosa de Resistance and mRn with En el Viento – Southern Lands – Southern Lands. On another show sponsoring label Audiobulb. Wind-carried voices and tones, Argentinas southern latitudes whispering through the mix.
Das Kinn – Nichts – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. Another from the Bureau B harvest, negation turned into sound, sparse and deliberate.
Clearways offers Mirage – Latrality. Illusions held in place by careful electronics, edges that shimmer and refuse to solidify.
Serbian artist nedogled with Toplina – Upavi Snovi. Warmth in dream states, tones that wrap rather than strike.
Autistici – 2.25 Degrees of Internalisation – Familiarity Unfolded. Another one out on Audiobulb. Internal shifts measured in fractions, unfolding slow and precise.
London based, Time Attendant brings Lapping Up Flames – The Feral Mould. Flames consumed in reverse, feral shapes moulded into something almost gentle. An odd one this, avant garde in places.
Lorna Dune with Perseids – Sequential Dreaming. Another great release from Mystery Circles. Meteor trails across dreaming sequences, streaking light in the dark.
And now, as the tape hisses toward silence, a few words before we disappear again. Thanks for staying with it. These shows aren’t built for crowds, and neither, perhaps, are you. Support the artists where you can—buy the tapes, the downloads, the vinyl when it appears. Whisper their names into whatever void listens. It matters more than metrics suggest.
This episode streams free on Mixcloud for a week, full links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments. Leave a word if something landed. Or don’t. Quiet has its own frequency.
Until the wind shifts or the reel ends—whichever arrives first—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the universe keep its own counsel.
Antwerp based autumna closes the show with sea flames – Murmurs In The Mist – Trevlad. Flames on water, murmurs rising through fog, a final dissolution.
Don’t miss out on my next compilation. Details on my Bandcamp page.
That was Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. Good night.

30 December 2025
Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑six‑one of the Virtual Cassette Library—which also happens to be my 900th mix show. I’m not entirely sure how that happened, but here we are. Today’s theme is Obey Beams Starting—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words.
We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun. Early on you’ll hear Night Birds by The Inventors of Aircraft—an exclusive from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation sleeplaboratory6.0. Always a pleasure to be able to share something before it officially takes flight.
Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, 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 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’ll get it right.
The rest of the show wanders through winter light, spectral electronics, Casio memories, kosmische detours, festive oddities, and the occasional unexpected left‑turn. 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.”

26 December 2025
Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑five‑nine of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Twist Fondest Waffle—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words. We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun. We begin with Arbee & Norvik drifting through a Montréal alleyway, Bary Center disappearing into the trees, and Pocket Lint reminding us that we grow through our friends. There’s a rise‑in‑love from micca, diamond‑cracking teeth from pjpriiincess, and a new sun courtesy of GODTET. Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, 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 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’ll get it right. Later on, we’ll hear winter choruses from Unruly Disturbance, a 2025 remaster from Ian Boddy & Chris Carter, and a snowy Christmas‑Eve vignette from On Idyl. Leisure Prison gives us another living space, Tim Story offers a dust bale hole, and Clearways pings us exactly once before Michael D. Tidwell closes the A side. On the flip side, Tapemoth brings entropy, Marie dissolves into a Bahrambient remix, and IKSRE gives us granite from Imaginary North. There’s cartography from Droning Cats with NRV, Italian library breaks from Modern Sound Quartet, and a fading coordinate from Grant Beasley. Roedelius appears, as he often does, like a quiet blessing. I’ve slipped in one of my own—Another Oddly Screamed—before Floating Points and Raphah carry us gently to the end. It’s ambient, kosmische, wintery, slightly haunted, and occasionally festive in a sideways sort of way. 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.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 20
3 December 2025
Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
Tonight’s programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces, each longer than twelve minutes, each more patient than the last. If you’re expecting choruses, drops, or anything resembling urgency, you may want to try another channel.
We begin, as always, not with a bang but with a murmur. The track you’re hearing underneath me is from my own unreleased album, TVCL 08. It’ll be out when it’s ready—sixteen tracks, no sooner. You can find it on Bandcamp under Trevlad, if you’re the curious sort.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
Right, we are starting off tonight with a deep dive into primitive droning territories, courtesy of Patrick R. Pärk. He is based in Denver, Colorado, and is clearly a devotee of the kosmische sound. This piece is ‘Music As An Awesome Healing Force,’ which appears on his album Luminous Rainbow Pulse, released on November 7. His sound covers Berlin School, electronic, experimental, drone, and krautrock.
Next up, we travel to Luxembourg for Maxence Dubroca & co, who is an experimental composer and arranger, and the frontman of Projet -> Renard) Ost) the company being Anita Franz & Simon Gris. The work we have here is ‘Counsel: A Roam Is Not Consequent,’ lifted from the Jump Badger Jump album, which saw release on July 16. This is wonderfully slow material, categorized as ambient drone, electroacoustic, minimal, and slowcore.
Marvelous. We move now to the UK, specifically Sheffield, for Hervé Perez. Hervé Perez is a sound artist, composer, and improviser, and his work is released via nexTTime production studios. This is a live recording, ‘nada 22, live stream 02 10 2024,’ released October 2, 2024, and takes up the largest part of the episode clocking in at 53:20. Hervés’ sound falls under electronic, electroacoustic, experimental electronic, improvisation, and new jazz. This is the sort of evocative work that uses disquiet and dissonance to open imaginary cinematic worlds.
We turn now to a journey from Jarguna, Odile Bruckert, and Henrik Meierkord. This is ‘Sleeping Among the Rice Fields,’ featured on their album Furrows of Memory. Projekt Records, which is America’s premier independent label specializing in passionately intense introspective music in the ambient, electronic, ethereal, and darkwave genres, released this piece on November 21. The work has a beautiful world, new age vibe. This is music that flows and takes you gently on a peaceful meditation.
Following that, we hear from SourceCodeX, a multi-instrumentalist specializing in synthesizers and guitar, working out of Washington, D.C.. This is ‘Clouds Parting Soon,’ which is part of the REBIRTH ~ 10TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED RELEASE, out on November 16. His sound covers ambient, electronic, progressive rock, and synth rock. SourceCodeX stated that listening to Steve Roach’s Structures from Silence is what turned him into an ambient artist. This is utterly splendid to my taste, described by others as an incredibly immersive experience and epic, mysterious, moving, and beautifully produced.
Next up, we have Ümlaut, with the piece ‘Pulling all the sky’. This track is featured on EX! Zine Edition 4 from Adventurous Music, released on November 24. Adventurous Music, based in Leipzig, Germany, is a non-profit micro-label promoting experimental music. Pulling all the sky provides a contemplative and trippy soundscape, it contains field recordings with bird song which I have a soft spot for.
We turn to Asheville, North Carolina, now for Spooqs. This is the complete ‘BIOMES (Full Suite)’, which came out on November 14. Spooqs calls his efforts Electronic Impressionist Instrumentals, creating mood music for imaginary spaces. As this is a full suite you’re are in for quite a trip.
And finally, to close out this installment of Expansive Waves, we have a beautiful, enveloping drone from a channel regular, Willebrant. This is Karl Willebrant, a bassist and producer from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, running an ambient field drone project. This piece is called ‘A Knight on a Boat (slowed and reverb),’ from his collection The Knight Seas, which saw release on November 7. It is firmly placed in the ambient drone, electronic, and meditation categories. Fans describe the album as divine and providing real gentle ambience to lose yourself in.
🎧 Outro And now, as we approach the final piece, a few words before we vanish again. Thanks for sticking around. Really. These episodes aren’t designed for mass consumption, and neither are you. I’ll be back when the wind changes or the tape runs out—whichever comes first. No schedule, no promises. Waves, that’s all we have. If you liked what you heard, support the artists. Buy their music. Whisper their names into the void. It helps. You can stream this episode on Mixcloud at djsofabed/expansive-waves-20, and find all the links and credits on the episode page at trevor.se. Drop a comment if you feel moved. Or don’t. Silence is underrated. Until next time—stay resonant, stay expansive, and let the soundtrack of the universe find you. Take it away Willebrant.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 143
14 November 2025
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 143 of The Virtual Cassette Library.
Plank Glides Enigma is the episodes subtitle, as well as the track you’re hearing in the background and its geographical location which I’ve filmed and can be experienced on YouTube.
I’m Trevor and I curate these 90-minute genre bending drifts through frequencies from around the globe. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion. Two, 45 minute mixes, 15 tracks per set with a side change half way.
Imagine the listening experience like being at a music festival where the artists play on a rotating stage. Each act is allotted time for their piece and as it ends the next act takes over rotating into view.
Styles for this episode range from beats to nature, from funk to new classical. The musical keys in focus are G sharp / A flat and F minor.
In this episode we’re joined by some new friends of the channel like Sævar Jóhannsson and Red Stars Over Tokyo. As well as some familiar names like THE GAYE DEVICE, Mike Dickinson and Listening Center as well as supporting labels like Cyclical Dreams, Buried Treasure, Moolakii Club Audio Interface, Ingrown Records, Mahorka, Castles in Space and many more. All the artists and labels are the soul of this show.
