Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 204
Fragile, emotive ambient with lingering tones and a sense of hopeful suspension. Touching and vulnerable.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 204 of the Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is based on the track “Please Hold On” by Exit chamber out on the amazing Passed Recordings who are also featured with an Ed Herbers entry. Also shout outs to whitelab recs, Lo Recordings and 4000 records as well as free album codes for being awesome.
A deeply meditative and emotionally resonant ambient journey focused on introspection, space, and gentle melancholy.
Side A flows from soft, hazy summer drifts and weightless cosmic reductions into sun-baked road imagery and warm organic minimalism. Side B expands into vast harmonic depths, shadowy intimacy, fragile emotion, and powerful cosmic gravity.
Calm, spacious, contemplative, and quietly moving. Perfect for deep listening, late-night reflection, or moments of solitude. Intimate yet expansive, with a beautiful balance of warmth and ethereal distance.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 191
09 April 2026
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 back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the wall.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-one.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous.
But really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets I exist.
Stream free for seven days on Mixcloud.
Background track tonight is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11. The episode is a sonic journey with a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe that definitely isn’t watching you back.
Massive shout out to Ivo Petrov of Mahorka for pulling me into the Planck Tone series. Big love to my latest followers Andy InPhase. Check his mix Beautiful Nonsense. Cedric Wattergniaux (Kilmarth) who I played back on episode 173, Julian Kalchev ( Virtually J ) who I played on the latest Alone on the Dance Floor episode and Claudio Gasparini who has a massive following with less than ten mixes. You’re doing something right.
Anyway.
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
We’re bunching it tonight—three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
Tonight’s episode is broadcasting from… molars.blunt.notices.
Which is the location of Miyakodori—a Japanese-style gastro bar here in Stockholm where the food probably whispers secrets when the lights go out.
Let’s go.
First cluster incoming.
The episodes longest piece at 11:24. Just making the 12 minute limit. Vel Raine drifts in like bioluminescent waves from some distant galactic tide—Galactic Ocean Waves Flickering. Anything over 12 minutes ends up on another series of mine EXPANSIVE WAVES.
Then Fm Outt with that beautiful, futuristic sadness—Incomplete Kisses. Out on the Secuencias Temporales label.
And closing the trio, yours truly with something off the old virtual shelf—Caravan Grew Vaccines.
These three are about to melt into each other. Don’t fight it.
Still with me? Good. The walls are thinning.
Next transmission packet.
Heading back to 2007 and Sevensy opens a glowing doorway with Moon Arch. Out on the Mahorka label. Who I’ve done a series of Planck Tone specials for. The first is available now.
Stewart Keller follows with the, graceful exhale—Swan Song.
Then another long one at 10:27. Lee Evans slides in sideways with Bow Tel Banti—because why not. Out on The Jewel Garden which is described as being part label, pure vanity
Three more stitches in the dream.
Third and final cluster of the night.
French artist, Near Stoic paints movement in light—Kinematic Lights. Out on Third Kind Records.
Foxwarren gets not serious in Serious.
And Time Rival affirms existence with Also Yes.
Lean in. This one’s slippery.
One last track before the flip from Paul Beaudoin who goes plucky on Mercury’s Whisper. Out on Chitra Records sub label Ambient Cat.
You know the drill. The frequencies don’t stop just because the clock does.
Side B
The lights are lower. The sounds are looser.
Same rules: three transmissions stitched together like half-remembered dreams.
First B Side packet.
Going live now. GODTET brings in Cantus—big, orchestral, locked-in groove with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra riding shotgun. Out on La Sape Records
TOMC follows with the 8 minute journey—18, Chasing the Sun (Part 1, 2 & 3).
And Portland Vows closes it with Stone Children—haunting little shadows from the north. Out on Third Kind Records.
Let these three pull you under.
Next cluster. Snow is falling sideways tonight.
Erik Wøllo opens with Snow Tides—vast, Norwegian winter textures stretching out like frozen fjords. Out on Projekt records
El Michels Affair slides in cool and cinematic with the Indifference (Instrumental). Out on Big Crown Records. I’m loving this release. Library music just fills a hole in me.
Then mytrip whispers annie—a Mahorka ghost from the archive, quiet and close.
Headphones tighter. This one’s cold and intimate.
Last trio of the night.
Scott Orr with the simple, devastating Scott. Which I discovered from the recent Late-Night Tales release curated by Barry Can’t Swim
Jackson Mico Milas takes us Sea, Interior. Also on That Late-Night Tales release.
And Grammy-nominated Tim Story ends the main transmissions with Decelarate or Fasten—because sometimes you need both at once.
One more cluster before we fade.
You just heard Tim Story’s Decelarate or Fasten, Jackson Mico Milas’ Sea, Interior, and Scott Orr’s Scott.
One final transmission still to come…
The great Anubis Rude closes the show with Transmutation. Out on artist curated label Ingrown Records.
That’s the whole set.
You’ve been listening to… well, everything. But the last transmission you heard was Anubis Rude’s Transmutation pulling us through the veil.
Thanks for floating here with me.
I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se, on Trevor Lewis on Substack, and marked in the timeline like little glowing breadcrumbs.
If you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
No meetings. No rules. Just dust and frequencies.
Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. I’ll read them in my sleep-voice.
See you in the next crack in the wall.
Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 189
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
03 April 2026
votes.riddle.tuck.
Brams burgers – great burger joint. Now it’s just a coordinate for whatever this episode is.
Hey.
Welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the drywall.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-eight-nine.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous, but really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets I exist.
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
We’re bunching it tonight – four transmissions at a time, like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
FIRST CLUSTER
Four signals crawling out of the high passes and the liberation fronts.
Sonic-Soma – Kinnaur Calling – Cities and Memory, Nepal field recordings turned into sonic soma.
The Music Liberation Front Sweden – Astra Shambotica – Submarine Broadcasting, astral jazz revolution.
Grosso Gadgetto – Quadrata Dodus Act 2 – Bulgarian label Mahorka, who might be the reason for me not doing these episodes for a few days. Keep an eye and ear out for future Planck Tone episodes I may be guesting.
Willebrant – Dell – atmospheric drone from down under. Birds in the rain. A must.
You just survived the first transmission: Sonic-Soma, The Music Liberation Front Sweden, Grosso Gadgetto, and Willebrant.
The space between us is definitely thinner now.
SECOND CLUSTER Brain shells cracking open, hits amended, voids flattered, dust explained. Zerfranzt – Hirnschale – which means skull or, the nicer translation of, Brain case from Kaiseki Digital, who I’ve been playing lately as Free Album Codes has provided me with codes for some early releases from 2018. German synaptic spill. Trevlad – Hits Enjoyable Amended – self-released soundscape from the episode of the same name. A repeat name from the spot where I try and sleep most nights. This one’s from the album TVCL 10 and has nothing to do with the track of the same name from TVCL 09. Puscha – Sycophanatic – NEN, Melbourne cinematic hypnosis. Provided by Fonodroom. Everyday Dust – Without Explanation – Dustopian Frequencies, Scottish drone stories that evaporate.
You just floated through Zerfranzt, Trevlad, Puscha, and Everyday Dust. Halfway mark is creeping up. I’m starting to feel that metaphysical flip? The universe just winked at you and kept walking.
THIRD CLUSTER (pre-B Side)
Edges blurring, bodies floating.
phorme – blur – Kaiseki Digital, Australian meditative haze from NSW. Also from 2018.
Takashi Kusano – Floating – Sounds for the Soul, Japanese levitation.
And then comes the B Side…
phorme and Takashi Kusano just lifted you clean out of gravity.
Now the bench is empty and the cats are from hell.
FOURTH CLUSTER (B Side)
Empty benches, hellcat beats, half-human wires, clinical worms.
Substak – Empty Bench – Daydreamers, Greek meditative park-bench snippet.
Le Morte d’Abby – Nyanko No Jigoku Beat – dark electro from the neon underworld.
Jilk – Half-Human – Bricolage, Glasgow idm hybrid soul.
The Foot & Leg Clinic – Worms 2 – alternative rock diagnosis under fluorescent lights.
You just sat on Substak’s Empty Bench, got bitten by Le Morte d’Abby’s hellcats, glitched with Jilk, and received a full worm examination from The Foot & Leg Clinic.
Your body is now 40% frequency.
FIFTH CLUSTER
Appetizers of life, grace with nothing, tidal animation tags, Nordic sea breath.
The Appetizers – The Life – Italian roots reggae funk from Rome.
Rejoicer – Grace Was Happy (I Found Nothing) – LA epiphany of joyful emptiness. Sounds as if Weather Report did music for film.
Record Of Tides – Yoshimoto Animation Tag – Mahorka hauntological Japanese cels on the tide. Glitchy 8-bit crackles.
Albin – Havet – Paltunes, Swedish sea inhaling your thoughts. Everything Albin Johansson touches glows with a nostalgic warmth I can never get enough of.
You just tasted The Appetizers, let Rejoicer’s Grace smile at nothing, rode Record Of Tides’ animation waves, and sank into Albin’s Havet.
The apartment is underwater now.
FINAL CLUSTER
Rain shelter geometry and half-a-day London melt.
Kikagaku Moyo – Amayadori – Guruguru Brain, psychedelic Tokyo forest clearing.
ff8282 – london / half the day – 4000 Records, fractured electronic daydreams.
You just sheltered with Kikagaku Moyo and melted through half a London day with ff8282.
That’s the whole set.
Thanks for floating here with me.
I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links, and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se and marked in the timeline.
If you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
No meetings. No rules. Just dust and frequencies.
Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. I’ll read them in my sleep-voice.
See you in the next crack in the drywall.
Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 187
23 March 2026
(Loch Ness pub in Stockholm where the beer tastes like regret and possibility in equal measure)
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 back, or maybe welcome for the first time, to the slowest-growing show on the internet. or off it. whatever.
this is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-eight-seven.
we’re still calling it a virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous, but let’s be honest—it’s just me in a room full of blinking lights and dying batteries, trying to convince the void that independent music still matters.
twenty artists. no schedule. drops when the mood hits, which is usually when normal people are asleep.
the three-word subtitles? they’re What3Words locations that mean something to me. personal little coordinates. this one’s grinning.cheek.traffic. Stockholm pub. good beer, better stories you forget by morning.
If you want in—send weird files, codes, confessions, whatever—to trevlad@gmail.com.
labels getting the slow nod tonight: Moolakii Club Audio Interface, Castles In Space, Adventurous Music, Bricolage, Audiobulb, Ingrown Records, i u we records, Noray Records… the usual suspects haunting the margins.
styles? liminal ambient, hauntronica, post-disco, whatever falls between the cracks. places on the map: Québec, Prague, Pereira. the world’s getting smaller, but the weird corners are still there.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. that song that ruined or saved you. record it yourself or I’ll read it in my sleep-voice and play the track. win-win-win.
also doing Trev Tales now—stories woven into the sets. like this is one long dream you’re not sure you want to wake up from.
One new follower since last time. Paso stranger. cheers, mate. you’re in the club now. the one with no meetings and no rules.…
A soft hiss opens the curtain. dust motes spin in pale light. first pulse arrives like a hangover you didn’t earn.
First out f5point6 – The Second Day (Remastered).
https://f5point6.bandcamp.com/track/the-second-day-remastered
Grey dawn leaking through blinds that gave up years ago. yesterday’s coffee is a cold accusation in the mug. synths breathe slow, like fog rolling over abandoned motorways.
headphones on. let time dissolve. frequencies claim you. no refunds.…
That was ‘The Second Day (Remastered)’ – by f5point6 from the album ‘In Retrospect’ out on the See Blue Audio label.
The next artist is Ver – Combine.
https://secuenciastemporales.bandcamp.com/track/ver-combine-2
Metallic clanks fold into wet footsteps, voices smear across rusted combine blades turning in slow motion under an endless flat sky.
Yes ‘Combine’ by Ver from that ‘Commemorative Compilation’ I’ve been playing lately out on the Secuencias Temporales label.
And now Dåggěr (Szórëgg) – Telekinetic Coercion.
https://secuenciastemporales.bandcamp.com/track/d-gg-r-sz-r-gg-telekinetic-coercion
Invisible fingers press the temples, thoughts lift like iron filings toward a humming magnet, chair legs scrape backward without feet.
Crunchy, haunted vibes there with ‘Telekinetic Coercion’ by Dåggěr (Szórëgg) also from the ‘Commemorative Compilation’ release.
Dub time now, Rural District Lo-Fi Recording Project – Planning A Bootleg LP?
https://ruraldistrictlofirecordingproject.bandcamp.com/track/planning-a-bootleg-lp
Cassette deck whirs in a damp shed, pencil scratches setlists on yellowing paper, distant lawnmower drone leaks through the window like memory bleed.
Gotta love that ‘Planning A Bootleg LP?’ by Rural District Lo-Fi Recording Project from the self released album ‘Jolly Johnny and his Oompahing Oomlahs’.
Time to pull some shapes on the dance floor with Baxter Dury – Schadenfreude Ft. JGrrey
https://baxterdury.bandcamp.com/track/schadenfreude-ft-jgrrey
Cigarette cherry glows in the dark cab, someone else’s misfortune tastes sharp and sweet on the tongue, laughter curls like smoke rings.
That was ‘Schadenfreude Ft. JGrrey’ by Baxter Dury from the album ‘Allbarone’ out on Heavenly Recordings
We retire to the lounge with 36 – Echo Diffusion.
https://pitp.bandcamp.com/track/echo-diffusion
Synth notes dissolve into mist, each chord sends ripples across black water, distant towers repeat the lament softer, softer, gone.
You’ve been listening to ‘Echo Diffusion’ by 36 from the album ‘Reality Engine’ out on the Past Inside the Present label.
Now the wonderful Ann Annie – home. This is a short 2 minute outing.
https://annannie.bandcamp.com/track/home-3
Bare feet on sun-warmed floorboards, lace curtains breathe in and out, a kettle clicks off somewhere deeper in the house that still smells of yesterday’s bread.
Blissful acoustic guitar there in ‘home’ by Ann Annie from the album ‘El Prado’ available through the ’Nettwerk’ label.
Which brings us nicely to Empty House – Sea Birds
https://mcpm.bandcamp.com/track/sea-birds
Gulls wheel above peeling paint, empty rooms fill with salt wind, curtains flap like trapped wings against salt-crusted glass.
Hope you’re still with us on the planet after ’Sea Birds’ by Empty House from the album ‘MCPM018 compilation album’ out on the amazing Moolakii Club Audio Interface label.
Time to head back to the club now with Pablo Diarra – Humour noir.
https://songe-anima-records.bandcamp.com/track/humour-noir
Cigarette burns slow in ashtray, punchline lands like wet gravel, laughter echoes in an empty corridor lit only by neon bleeding through blinds.
Yes ‘Humour noir’ there by Pablo Diarra aka Saïph from the album ‘Griffe Sonam’ out on Songe Anima Records
Next up an artist I feature quite regularly James Adrian Brown – ‘Poster Child’ from the album ‘Forever Neon Lights’ out on channel champion label Castles In Space
https://jamesadrianbrown.bandcamp.com/track/poster-child
Faded gig poster curls at the edges, spotlight glare trapped in yellowing tape, young face staring back with too much certainty.
Catch you on the flip side.
B Side
Needle drops into silence, groove dust crackles, the hidden track breathes like someone left the tape running after everyone went home.
This is the legendary Deerhoof – Apple Bomb.
https://deerhoof.bandcamp.com/track/apple-bomb
Teeth sink into skin, juice sprays, frantic drums explode outward, tart sweetness turns chaotic sugar-rush panic.
Classic Deerhoof there with ‘Apple Bomb’ from the album ‘Apple O’’ available through Joyful Noise Recordings
Next we get some haunted chills via Catharæ, Trem 77 – Dreams of the Mediterranéant (Fade at Brighton Beach Mix)
https://adventurousmusic.bandcamp.com/track/dreams-of-the-mediterran-ant-fade-at-brighton-beach-mix
Waves lap shingle under sodium lamps, bougainvillea scent mixes with diesel and chips, sun-bleached dream fades into Brighton March grey.
Cheers to Trem 77 for sending me ‘Dreams of the Mediterranéant (Fade at Brighton Beach Mix)’ from the album ‘Dreams of the Méditerranéant’ out on the Adventurous Music label.
We stay in the same world now Minimal Drone GRL and Belial Pelegrim – A Remembered Land Long Forgotten
https://bricolageglasgow.bandcamp.com/track/a-remembered-land-long-forgotten
Low hum rises from cracked earth, ancient stone walls breathe dust, wind carries fragments of half-remembered songs across barren fields.
‘A Remembered Land Long Forgotten’ there by Minimal Drone GRL and Belial Pelegrim from the album ‘Movements of a Cloud’ out on the Bricolage label.
Time to get weird Keith Seatman – Another Strange Thing
https://keithseatman-cis.bandcamp.com/track/another-strange-thing
Ornate music box unwinds in attic gloom, figurine spins jerkily, something moves just beyond the torch beam.
Great work there in ‘Another Strange Thing’ by Keith Seatman from the album ‘Counting To Ten Then Back Again’ out on Castles In Space.
Next up a piece of my own as Trevlad – Furnish Rests Goggle
https://trevlad.bandcamp.com/track/furnish-rests-goggle
Old sofa sags under fairy lights, goggles fog with breath, synth arpeggios drift like cigarette smoke through thrift-shop clutter.
That was ‘Furnish Rests Goggle’ which is the What3Words geo location of a hotel I spent a few days in back in January. It’s from the album TVCL 10.
Next we go minimal and dark with Autistici – 2.25 Degrees of Internalisation
https://autistici.bandcamp.com/track/225-degrees-of-internalisation
Faint heartbeat clicks inside the skull, temperature drops 2.25°, thoughts fold inward like origami swans sinking in black ink.
You’ve been witness to ‘2.25 Degrees of Internalisation’ by Autistici from the album ‘Familiarity Unfolded’ out on the Audiobulb label.
Now to brighten things up a notch Heaven Topology – Adventure Compass
https://ingrown.bandcamp.com/track/adventure-compass
Needle quivers between impossible directions, star charts peel from damp walls, footsteps echo toward a horizon that bends upward.
Excellent ‘Adventure Compass’ by Heaven Topology from the album ‘Describer’ out on the king of listening parties Ingrown Records
I always like to add a pinch of Jazz to the episodes so here’s Robohands – Achilles
https://robohands.bandcamp.com/track/achilles
Tendon strings pluck taut, bronze dust settles on mechanical joints, slow-motion stride across cracked marble, heel exposed.
Great drumming there in ‘Achilles’ by Robohands from the album ‘Oranj’ out on Bastard Jazz Recordings
Now the longest track of this episode at just under 10 minutes. This is Never Sol – Dark Mountains, Red Dust
https://iuwerecords.bandcamp.com/track/never-sol-dark-mountains-red-dust
Boots crunch red powder, peaks swallow the sky, wind carries iron taste and distant thunder that never arrives.
What a trip in ‘Dark Mountains, Red Dust’ by Never Sol from one of the best compilations released so far this year ‘connected #3’ out on i u we records
Before we go our separate ways and the virtual tape clicks out. I just want to thank you all for taking the time to listen and I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links to the material are in the comments on Mixcloud, on trevor.se and on the channel substack.
To send us off Rhucle & Arbee – Plain from the album of the same name. Available on Noray Records
https://norayrecords.bandcamp.com/track/plain

All the shows have three word subtitles for places that have some meaning for me personally. These are also used as names for the background music in show intros and outros. This episodes’ subtitle is Worker Buffoon Exact which is the entrance to Stockholms legendary jazz club Fasching.
If you’d like to be featured on the slowest growing show on the internet then send files or codes to trevlad@gmail.com

00:07:01 Gollden – destiny #10
https://imaginarynorth.bandcamp.com/track/destiny-10

00:09:00 frostlake – Sundowner
https://discusmusic.bandcamp.com/track/sundowner
(from the album *Shattered Stone*) Discus Music label.
Golden-orange sunlight spills across a calm coastal harbor at dusk. Wooden boats rock gently on mirrored water streaked with neon reflections, while seabirds circle above crumbling stone quays where long shadows stretch like forgotten promises.
00:12:34 Christina Chatfield – Sutro
(from the album *Sutro*) Mysteries of the Deep label.
Fog rolls thick over ruined Victorian bathhouse ruins perched on jagged cliffs above the Pacific. Pale moonlight filters through rusted iron frameworks, illuminating scattered pearl-like droplets suspended in the mist and tangled reeds swaying in an unseen current.
00:19:12 Rosie Tee – Wishbone
(from the album *Night Creature*) Kikimora Records label.
A dimly lit attic room filled with antique mirrors and velvet drapes at midnight. A delicate bone-white wishbone hovers mid-air, cracking open to release swirling threads of crimson light that weave into spectral figures dancing on the walls.
00:22:47 Hannah Peel – Emergence In Nature
(from the album *Fir Wave*) KMP Music Ltd.
Emerald forest canopy at dawn, where sunlight pierces through leaves in sharp, crystalline beams. Tiny bioluminescent particles rise like fireflies in reverse, forming organic patterns that pulse and expand across moss-covered branches in rhythmic waves.
00:26:42 Garden Gate – A Dream Within a Dream
(appears on the album *Edgar Allan Poe*) Library Of The Occult label.
Endless nested corridors of antique bookshelves under flickering candlelight. Pages flutter open on their own, revealing layered dreamscapes: oceans within oceans, skies folding into more skies, each frame dissolving into the next like ink in water.
00:29:13 ena b. – Birds Dance
(from the album *Night Walk*) Secuencias Temporales label
A twilight meadow encircled by ancient willows. Hundreds of shadowy birds lift in unison, their wings tracing glowing arabesques against a bruised purple sky, spiraling upward in harmonious loops that mirror invisible currents of wind.
00:34:05 ANNABEL [lee] – Cat’s Eye
(from the album*DECAPODA*) Buried Treasure label
A velvet-black room illuminated only by a single luminous green cat’s eye gemstone floating at eye level. Refractions scatter emerald light across floating dust motes and half-seen feline silhouettes prowling along the edges of perception.
00:37:06 Daniella Tourgeman, Tomer Baruch – Mistor
(from the album *שפת עולם*) Kame’a Music label
Ancient stone alleyways in a fog-shrouded Mediterranean city at predawn. Soft amber lanterns cast trembling pools of light on dew-wet cobblestones, where whispers of mist curl around arched doorways hiding secrets in shadow.
00:41:34 Castle If – Missing 404
(from the album *darknet*)
A glitchy, pixelated library floating in digital void. Empty bookshelves flicker erratically, pages dissolving into error-code rain that falls upward, while a lone cursor blinks insistently in the center of an unreachable, cracked screen.
00:44:15 Sachi Kobayashi – Nostalgia
(from the album *More Than Just A Dream*) Stereoscenic Records.
A faded childhood bedroom bathed in warm afternoon sun through lace curtains. Old photographs on the wall slowly develop reverse—colors draining away—while a music box melody unwinds in slow motion, dust motes suspended like frozen memories.
00:49:26 Me Lost Me – Real World
(from the album RPG) Upset The Rhythm label.
A bustling urban street viewed through rain-streaked window glass at night. Neon signs blur into watercolor streaks of pink and cyan, pedestrians dissolve into abstract shapes, while reflections in puddles show an alternate, quieter reality beneath.
00:52:23 Little Dragon, April + VISTA – Layers
(from the album *Slipping Into Color*) Ninja Tune label.
Translucent geological strata glowing in deep earth tones underground. Each layer pulses with different hues—indigo, amber, rose—shifting and overlapping like sedimentary memories, with faint bioluminescent veins threading through the rock.
00:55:46 The Mistys – Nervous Mirror
(from the album *Situations | Useless Mouths*) Castles In Space label.
A cracked vanity mirror in a deserted ballroom under chandelier light. Reflections multiply infinitely, each version showing subtle distortions: trembling hands, shifting expressions, fractured eyes staring back with quiet unease.
00:59:42 marine eyes, IKSRE – Forgiveness
(from the album *Nurture*) Past Inside the Present (PITP)
Soft ocean waves lapping at a moonlit shore lined with sea glass. Gentle tides carry away shards of colored light, smoothing rough edges over time, while a pale horizon glows with quiet, healing luminescence.
01:04:36 Sababa 5 & Canay Doğan – Gaip
(from the singel *Gaip / Seher*) Batov Records
A bustling Istanbul bazaar at golden hour, viewed through haze of incense smoke. Spices spill in vibrant pyramids, lanterns sway overhead casting warm patterns on tiled floors, while distant calls blend into a hypnotic, wandering rhythm.
Ode to the fem
00:00:00 Patricia Wolf – The Grotto
(from the album See-Through)
Balmat records.
Soft emerald light filters through a hidden cave entrance, illuminating dripping stalactites that gleam like wet crystals. Shadows shift gently across moss-covered stone walls as faint ripples spread across a shallow turquoise pool. Pale vines curl downward, touching the water’s surface, while distant echoes suggest unseen chambers opening further in.
00:02:54 marine eyes – suddenly green
(from the album to belong)
Past Inside the Present.
Early morning fog lifts from rolling hills, revealing fresh blades of grass sparkling with dew under a pale sky. Sunlight breaks through in soft patches, turning the landscape a vivid, almost luminous shade of spring green. Distant wildflowers sway lightly, and the air feels newly alive with quiet renewal.
00:05:50 IKSRE – Granite
(from the album Solar Return: Golden Hour Mix)
Imaginary North.
Ancient rock faces rise stark against a vast, open sky at dusk, their rough surfaces etched with veins of quartz that catch fading golden light. Wind moves across the stone, carrying subtle grains of dust, while the horizon blurs into warm amber tones, evoking timeless solidity and quiet endurance.
00:09:01 Panic Girl – Feathers Of Hope
(from the album Memories)
i u we records.
Delicate white feathers drift slowly downward through golden afternoon light, catching gentle currents in an open meadow. They settle softly on tall grass stems, some twirling upward again before landing, surrounded by distant wild blooms and a sense of uplifting lightness.
00:11:26 Volker Rapp – Out of my Mind
(from the album Blade Runner 2099)
Cyclical Dreams.
Neon reflections shimmer across rain-slicked streets in a futuristic cityscape at night, with towering holographic billboards flickering in electric blues and pinks. Distant flying vehicles streak overhead, their lights trailing like comets, while the scene pulses with synthetic glow and detached introspection.
00:11:58 Andrea Cichecki – Different Step
(from the album Drawn Into The Edge Effect)
Castles In Space.
Footsteps trace an irregular path along a narrow coastal ledge at twilight, where waves crash below against dark rocks. Mist rises from the sea, blending with soft purple hues in the sky, and small stones shift underfoot, marking a deliberate yet wandering rhythm.
00:15:24 glo – kenóō
(from the album associated with experimental/ambient contexts, often standalone or mix-featured)
Empty temple halls stretch into dim distance, lit only by faint lanterns casting long shadows on wooden floors. Incense smoke curls lazily upward, dissolving into stillness, while subtle echoes of distant chimes linger in vast, open space.
00:21:22 Sachi Kobayashi – Healing
(from the album Weathervane)
Stereoscenic Records.
Gentle sunlight filters through a canopy of leaves in a quiet forest clearing, dappling the ground with moving patterns of gold. A soft wind stirs wild grasses and small white flowers, carrying a sense of calm restoration that spreads outward like slow-spreading warmth.
00:24:31 Amorphous Androgynous – Meadows
(from the album associated with their ambient/electronic works, often A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble series context)
Wide open fields stretch under a vast blue sky, dotted with clusters of wildflowers swaying in a warm breeze. Butterflies drift lazily between blooms, and distant tree lines shimmer in heat haze, evoking endless peaceful expanse.
00:27:42 the black Albumen – provokovieff
(from the album associated with Buried Treasure releases)
Buried Treasure.
Abstract geometric shapes float in deep black void, slowly rotating and intersecting with faint glowing edges in crimson and violet. Forms distort and reform like liquid metal, creating tension through precise yet unpredictable motion.
00:30:09 Pogo – Alice (Extended)
(from the album Broken Beats & Magic Snacks or extended rework context)
Vibrant cartoon woodlands come alive with swirling colors: oversized mushrooms glow in neon pinks and blues, teacups float mid-air, and checkerboard paths twist into impossible loops. Madcap elements whirl together in playful, accelerating chaos.
00:33:13 Emily A. Sprague – Horizon
(from the album Mount Vision)
RVNG Intl.
A flat, endless ocean meets a pale sky at dawn, with thin layers of pastel clouds drifting low. Subtle waves lap forward, reflecting soft rose and lavender tones that gradually brighten, holding a meditative line of infinite calm.
00:39:13 Scott Gilmore – Subtle Vertigo
(from the album Subtle Vertigo)
Spiraling staircases ascend into misty heights within an old tower, their steps worn smooth and bathed in diffused light from narrow windows. Shadows curve along curved walls, inducing a gentle, disorienting pull upward.
00:43:35 Cate Brooks – Curig
(from the album Horizons or related Ghost Box-inspired works)
Rolling Welsh hills under overcast skies, with ancient stone walls dividing emerald fields. Sheep graze quietly, and faint mist clings to distant ridges, evoking rural solitude and timeless pastoral quiet.
00:48:38 Tim Shiel – Between Ends (feat. Lonelyspeck)
(from the album Glowing Pains: Music From The Gardens Between)
Spirit Level
Twilight bridges connect shadowy urban fragments, suspended over dark water where city lights reflect in fractured lines. Echoing vocal fragments drift across the scene, marking a liminal space of transition and unresolved emotion.
00:50:09 Dean Honer, Supreme Vagabond Craftsman – I Saw The Frogman
(from the album Frogman)
A surreal pond at midnight, illuminated by moonlight: a humanoid figure with frog-like features emerges halfway from the water, wearing an old coat, staring curiously. Reeds sway around lily pads, blending whimsy with eerie folklore.
00:53:11 Hong Kong In The 60s – Disintegration, The Advisory Circle Reshape
(from the album Disintegration or reshape series)
Old film reels flicker with decaying 1960s Hong Kong street scenes: neon signs buzz and blur, crowds dissolve into grainy static, and colors bleed outward in slow analog decay, reshaped into haunting nostalgia.
00:56:08 Anita Tatlow – in hallowed spaces
(from the album the farthest star)
slow echo.
Sunlight streams through tall arched windows in an empty cathedral, illuminating dust motes dancing in golden beams. Stone pillars rise into shadow, and faint reverb carries the sense of sacred, resonant emptiness.
00:59:34 Lisa Bella Donna – Big Briar Cove
(from the album *Moogmentum (Presented by the Bob Moog Foundation)
*)
Thick briar thickets encircle a hidden cove along a rugged coastline, where tangled vines climb over weathered rocks. Waves roll in gently below, and wildflowers peek through thorns, creating a secluded, overgrown sanctuary.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 176
04 February 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 managed to carve out for yourself. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode 176. I’m your guide, Trevor.
The cassette sits ready in the deck, labels hand-scribbled, oxide already flaking a bit at the edges. Side A and Side B, twenty artists strung across them like beads on a frayed string. We’ll flip the tape halfway through, that satisfying clunk and hiss, because some things refuse to be digital.
Tonight we drift through ambient drifts, kosmische pulses, drone meditations, a touch of library funk, some psychedelic sprawl, electroacoustic murmurs from places like Bulgaria, the UK, Munich, Buenos Aires, Athens, Rome, Sheffield, Colorado, and a few others that don’t fit neatly on any map. The longest track stretches out patiently, Asha Patera’s – Wandering in the Upside Down from Sounds for the Soul Records, clocking in at just over 11 minutes. Durations aside, none hurry. There’s an exclusive track which open the B side from Moscow artist DEE_KAY and his track Bellcut. But we’ll get to all that in a bit.
Headphones on if you’ve got them. Volume where it feels intimate. Let the kettle whistle if it wants to. The world can wait.
We begin with a January release from the Mahorka label in Bulgaria, a collected volume of drone and teknoiz spanning a decade. Autonomаton offers The UFO project remix—eerie, floating synth washes that suggest something observed from a great height, unhurried and slightly unsettling in the best way. From the album Collected Not Lost 2015-2025 Vol 1: Drone and Teknoiz.
Autonomаton – The UFO project remix.
Next, Mark Ellery Griffiths with Synthi Sequence B. Loops and sequences built on vintage synths, patient repetitions that build quiet architectures. Mark is a regular of my shows and doesn’t get the credit he should. Check out his Bandcamp releases. He’s nudging on 50 and they’re name your price. Synthi Loops Sequences 2025 – Self released back in December.
Mark Ellery Griffiths – Synthi Sequence B.
Danielle Nia now, Longing For Togetherness. Warm, enveloping tones from i u we records, a gentle pull toward connection without ever forcing the issue. Stunning patchwork from the great Connected 3 compilation. Released a couple of weeks back on i u we records.
Danielle Nia – Longing For Togetherness.
Greek artist Substak and his track Apartment Window from Belgian ambient label Daydreamers. A quick view onto quiet streets, field recordings woven into subtle rhythms, the sound of somewhere lived-in and watched over time. From the EP Empty Bench – released not two weeks ago.
Substak – Apartment Window.
A good friend of the channel Asha Patera, Wandering in the Upside Down. Dream-logic drifts and inverted atmospheres from Sounds for the Soul Records, like walking through familiar rooms that have rearranged themselves while you slept. The Vale of Shadows – Sounds for the Soul. Which is a Stranger Things inspired ambient compilation. Also released in January. This is the long haul.
Asha Patera – Wandering in the Upside Down.
Belgian artist Jeroen Lauwers is, Red Stars Over Tokyo with In Trance from self released The Burning Spiral. Pulsing, hypnotic acid tinged layers that suggest endless night drives through neon-lit cities that might not exist. The Burning Spiral. released back in December.
Red Stars Over Tokyo – In Trance.
Southend On Sea artist Adrian Lane, After The Deluge. Post-flood calm, piano and strings emerging from residue, reflective, haunted and sparse. Their Ghosts and Ours – out on Sheffields finest Audiobulb.
Adrian Lane – After The Deluge.
Argentinian artist Puppy Bordiga with mRn, Solarium. Collaborative warmth, sunlit electronics and gentle percussion from Walking the Way III. Self released back in November.
Puppy Bordiga with mRn – Solarium.
ATA Records is a label and I can’t get my head around if they are also a band. They really know their library stuff but on this release and others the artist is simply ATA Records, no credits to the artists which is a shame. Anyway This is Tatsuya, The Sword. Library archive material, cinematic and evocative, with a heartfelt flute. drawn from Vol 4. The Library Archive Vol 4 – ATA Records.
ATA Records – Tatsuya, The Sword.
Tape flip. The mechanism clicks, heads realign, oxide continues its slow decay. Side B.
Coming up the exclusive for episode 176 is by Moscow Marist DEE-KEY now, Bellcut. Sharp, precise cuts through ambient haze from Local Gods. Local Gods. Drops next week in the 12 of February. Remember where you heard it first.
DEE-KEY – Bellcut.
Now from one of the best Italian jazz-funk library albums of the ’70s. Oscar Rocchi’s Genziana. Herbal, pastoral electronics evoking wild flowers and Italian hillsides, from Erbe Selvatiche on Four Flies Vaults which is the digital imprint of Four Flies Records.
Oscar Rocchi – Genziana.
Now to a favourite label and a release from November. Grant Beasley, The Vanishing Point. This is the title track. Horizon-line drones and slow dissolves. Grant Beasley – The Vanishing Point – Cyclical Dreams.
Grant Beasley – The Vanishing Point.
Next filter sweep time. LA artist Good Sunset, Taormina. Which is a hilltop town on the island of Sicily and I bet they have good sunsets there. Sun-drenched, cinematic reveries from Cinema Everything on Mystery Circles.
Good Sunset – Taormina.
And here’s one from me, under Trevlad—EXPANSIVE WAVES 18 (Slipping Precautions Obvious). A previous transmission excerpt, layered and recursive. TVCL 07 – Trevlad.
Trevlad – EXPANSIVE WAVES 18 (Slipping Precautions Obvious).
Next the poppiest piece I’ve played in a good while. Nostalgia 77, You Where In My Dream Last Night. Dream-state jazz inflections, soft and lingering. Love the bass lines and sound. This is the first single from their upcoming EP titled: When The Lights Gone. Which drops on the 1 May on Nostalgia 77’s Bandcamp page.
Nostalgia 77 – You Where In My Dream Last Night.
Next up Guitars and synth with GROSSO GADGETTO, and “the track Once there was only dark”. Apocalyptic soundscapes for a world winding down, from “Soundtrack for a Dying World by Dark Supreme & Grosso Gadgetto”. Sampled voices of Matthew McConaughey & Woody Harrelson.
GROSSO GADGETTO – “Once there was only dark”.
Now get your world music psychedelic slippers on. We’re off to Melbourne Australia. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Flying Microtonal Banana. Microtonal excursions, psychedelic without apology, the shortest in the episode at 2:34 yet packing strange tunings into tight space. From the album of the same fantastic name. Released on the Heavenly Recordings label about a year ago.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Flying Microtonal Banana.
Now back to 2021 and some wonky synth chords. Near Stoic, Music For A Friend. Intimate, thoughtful pieces from Notebook Thoughts Short Stories on Third Kind Records. A definite Boards of Canada vibe to this one.
Near Stoic – Music For A Friend.
Now I wish my doorbell sounded more like this. The penultimate track and the ultimate wind down. Miguel Otero, Blooming in Sturton Street. Gentle blooms and street-level calm from Islas Calm Cloud. One of the recent compilations let loose on Whitelabrecs. Get it now…
Miguel Otero – Blooming in Sturton Street.
And before the tape ends. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for haste, and neither, I suspect, are you. Support the artists if any of this lodged somewhere—buy the music, share the names. Stream this one on Mixcloud for a week if you need to revisit. All the paths and links live at trevor.se.
And if it was possible to close on a chiller note I think I have you covered. We close with Astropilot, The River Knows No Hurry. Flowing, unforced kosmische from Stockholm label Valley View Records, a reminder that some currents simply continue.
Until the next time the cassette calls. Stay resonant. Stay expansive. Let the sounds find their own way.
Trevor, signing off.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 173
27 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 drifted into. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-three. I’m Trevor, turning the reels in the quiet hours.
We approach this one as always—with the old cassette in mind. Side A first, then the satisfying clunk of the flip midway through. Twenty artists tonight, drawn from the shelves where the quieter signals live. Expect drifts of drone and deep ambient, patches of electroacoustic haze, touches of field-recorded exotica, slow-unfolding modular pulses, and the occasional submerged melody that surfaces like something half-remembered from another room. Places flicker through too: underwater trenches, Los Angeles highways at off-hours, Mediterranean dream coasts, vast starry processions, the interior of mechanical bird boxes, and the soft geometries of winter rooms.
No rush. No hooks to grab you. Only the slow uncoiling of sound.
Side A – 00:00
We begin with Nelson, British Columbia based Codedekay and out of place, from Vol. 9 – The Struggle on (We Are The New Underground) Weatnu Records. A patient unfolding of displaced tones, edges softened by time and repetition.
Then an old pseudonym of the artist Time Rival is Supply Fi who brings Unruly Cascade, taken from Unruly Predation on Triplicate Records who I believe Michael Southard, Time Rivals, Supply Fi’s real name, helped create. Cross-genre currents here—ambient electronics that fold and fracture without ever quite settling. Grab this, it’s a name your price release.
I know we’re all over the Christmas vibe already. But at least here in Sweden the snow lies thick. So here’s Omni Gardens with Winter Wonderland, from the Christmas release on Moon Glyph. Familiar seasonal shapes viewed through gauze, Moog warmth and mellotron drift turning the usual into something hushed and interior.
Now one of the channels favourites with some 90s vibe Lounge. I get a hint of Lemon Jelly wafting through this one. THE GAYE DEVICE offers Argent Echo from Routes. Silvered reflections in electronic form, routes that loop back on themselves with deliberate calm.
This next one is the opening track on my second compilation release. This is Ursula’s Cartridges who submerges us in Mighty Underwater Adventure (UC’s Challenger Deep Remix), from Resonances from the Depths. Dubbed echoes refracted through deep pressure, bubbles rising slow.
Things fall apart now with Dissolved who arrives with Alveolate Minds, Exposure Fields on Mahorka. Grainy, fragmented atmospheres—drone and broken beats meeting in alveolar spaces, porous and breathing.
Belgian artist MICADO gives us An Afternoon Reflection from Mindscapes on Argentinian label Cyclical Dreams. Gentle modular lines catching light, a pause where the day leans back.
Now to help us into the zone is Dormance who closes the first side with Dormance 14, from II on Mahorka. Pure dormancy—Squeaky toys, dub tones, and a spoon in a tumble dryer do half the work.
Flip the tape. Listen for the mechanism.
Opening the B side is channel champion brain, melting, Stephen James Buckley aka, Polypores opens the reverse with The Body Is The Spaceship, Hungry Vortex. The longest track of the episode clocking in at 11:30. Organic electronics as vessel, pulsing inward and outward in equal measure. Get everything Stephen releases and thank me later.
Now a haunting melody of the free by Kilmarth feat. Silly Shadow with A Paradox So Cruel from Cherophobia on Adventurous Music. Paradox held lightly—shadows and light in tender opposition.
Next the shortest track of the episode at 1:36 Elijah Fox drifts through Her Palace from Ambient Works for the Highways of Los Angeles. Highway-side reveries, palace built from exhaust and sunset haze.
Now into the darkness with Autonomаton who present Endless stars procession from Collected Not Lost 2015-2025 Vol. 1 on Mahorka. Dub Drones tracing constellations in slow parade.
Next up Michal Turtle & HOVE with Only Sawdust Remains from Sawdust Dreams. Sawdust as memory material, fragile and aromatic. A pumping beat over tribal vibes.
Friend of the show now and a short one. Not the artist but the track. I have no idea what Dave Clarkson’s height is. Here he conjures Mechanical Bird Box Exotica from The Ghosts of Christmas Past and the Effects on Mental Health on Mortality Tables. Clockwork birds singing through antique mechanisms, exotica tuned to melancholy.
Here’s an adventurous outing by Edward Givens with Rapid Eye Movement (a Dance) from the album, Terra. Dream-state pagan motion, eyes flicking beneath lids.
Here an offering of my own. This is Trevlad with EXPANSIVE WAVES 20 (Airtime Text Reacting) from TVCL-08. Airtime caught in reactive loops—waves folding back on their own transmission.
Now French synth miestro Alex Ringess with the final track And Now Let’s Play This New Game from Asynchronicity. Asynchronous invitation, rules written in delay and overlap.
Next an odd one by Catharæ with In my world from Dreams of the Mediterranéant on Adventurous Music. Mediterranean shores remade as interior landscape, trails tracing the mind.
And now the penultimate piece some deep bass tones from Christian Kleine who brings Slow from the 2025 Label Compilation mixed by Todos on A Strangely Isolated Place. Deliberate tempo, everything given room to breathe.
And now, as the tape nears the end, a few words before the leader. Thanks for staying with it. These programmes aren’t built for playlists or quick consumption, and neither are the ears that find them. Support the artists when you can—buy the music, name their work in quiet corners. It matters more than algorithms admit.
This episode streams free for a week on Mixcloud, links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments. Say something if the mood takes you. Or let the silence hold. Both are welcome.
I leave you with the wonderful Sussex Telecom who signs off with Kendophaz from the 2022 release Creator Warehouse on channel sponsoring Third Kind Records. Phased signals from some coastal telecom exchange, wires humming in the wind.
Until the next wind or the next run-out groove—stay resonant, stay expansive. Let the frequencies find their own way back to you. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 172
24 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 drifted into. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-two. I’m Trevor, sifting through the reels once more, turning the dial until something faintly human—or faintly inhuman—comes through.
These cassettes still carry the promise of two sides, a flip in the middle. Twenty artists tonight, drawn from various corners: some from the damp fields of field recording-touched ambient, others from the slow-burn electronics of Glasgow’s Bricolage or whitelabrecs quiet corners, a few from Portland’s soft tape worlds, and further out to the looped, patient rhythms that refuse to hurry.
No rush here. No hooks to grab you by the collar. These are pieces that breathe, that unfold like fog over water, that let time stretch until it forgets its own name.
The Wild Hunt Die Wilde Jagd – Gleiß K – Convenanza – Höganord Rekords
A motorik pulse wrapped in dark-leaning kraut electronics, voices half-buried in the machinery, building without ever quite arriving. So Headphones on, let time dissolve and let the frequencies claim you.
Now one of the shortest entries on the show Ann Annie – lupine – El Prado (Deluxe) – available through Nettwerk label.
Portland piano atmospheres drift in gentle layers, carrying a meditative hush, like rain on greenhouse glass.
blochemy – Eim – Islas Calm Cloud – whitelabrecs. Sorry for the mispronunciation in the last episode.
Minimal tape wonk and electroacoustic patience, tones that hover and slowly modulate, a quiet study in restraint and space.
And now clap along with Nu Era – See Are Seven (Bonus Track) – The Second Circle – Neroli Records
Deep, enveloping electronics with a touch of kosmische drift, layers folding inward, unhurried and expansive.
Next Saya Gray – PUDDLE ( OF ME ) – Saya – Dirty Hit
Intimate, watery textures, voice and instrumentation blurring into something fragile and reflective, almost confessional in its slowness.
Check the reverb on the rimshots. Robohands – Oranj – Oranj – Bastard Jazz Recordings
Wonky Rhodes and guitar-led loops that circle and evolve, warm and understated, letting small repetitions reveal hidden depths over time.
Now panic inducing mud flaps. Sophie Sleigh-Johnson – Chaldean Acts – Nuncio Ref – Crow Versus Crow
Sparse, ritualistic soundscapes, field edges and processed resonances evoking ancient, unspoken acts.
Back to some pop phrasings and a bassist at work Flora Hibberd – Auto Icon – Swirl – self-released
Delicate, swirling arrangements, voice and instrumentation caught in gentle eddies, intimate and quietly hypnotic.
And now a recent mate of the channel brings some pigeons CommsBreakdown – In The Heart Of Spring – Dadtronica Ambientus – self-released
Spring-like modular pulses and soft drones, a sense of renewal threaded through the circuitry. Lovely stuff.
Now to end Side A with a stomping track from one of my fantastic supporting labels Bricolage Black Lupus – Fractal Particles – Paradigm 10 Year Label Sampler – Bricolage Glasgow
Granular electronics from Glasgow, particles scattering and reforming in fractal patterns, precise yet organic.
Tape flip.
The cassette turns. Side B.
Starting off Side B Vancouver based Active Dark Filament – Song for Moritz – (NYP) – Lost Axioms Excerpts – self-released
Dedicated drift, dark ambient threads that pull slowly across an 80s vibe stereo field.
And now for something special from David Soulscorch here as Rural District Lo-Fi Recording Project – Disenchanting. Nice Work If You Can Get It – Jolly Johnny and His Oompahing Oomlahs.
Lo-fi pastoral wanderings, disenchanted yet oddly affectionate, cassette warmth intact. This album made me happy.
Next is from a label I’d love to play more of as they release some of the best sounds out there. Unfortunately I can’t afford to play as much as I’d like and I respect that they won’t send me stuff for free, but every now and then something lands on my decks for which I’m grateful. This is one of those times. Here’s Kayla Painter – Anicca – Tectonic Particles – Quiet Details
Shifting, impermanent textures, tectonic plates of sound moving beneath the surface, calm on top.
And now to the label who has championed the channel for many a year and a release by James Adrian Brown – Generator – Generator – Colin Morrisons Castles in Space
Generator hums and harmonic overtones, a machine dreaming its own slow song.
Speaking of great labels here’s another one worthy of your attention storyinsoil – Spin Glass – Distillation – Ingrown
Glassy, spinning drones, crystalline and distilled, turning in perpetual motion. Release date is set to February 3rd, so go grab a copy.
Now there’s this wonderful Russian artist NDORFIK who I’ve had a bit of contact with over the past few weeks. He’s a great guy and good at promoting his mates here is one of them in Local Gods label curator Alexander Lvov as Man as island – Haikei – AN. This has yet to get an official release date so you are a lucky bunch.
Isolated, island-bound reveries, spacious and solitary, awaiting their proper tide.
Now an oldie I think I discovered through an instagram post by dream.weasel. I recommend you checking her out. This is Andy Stott – Luxury problems – Modern Love
Heavy, dubbed-out pressure, bass weight and smeared atmospheres from the Manchester shadows.
Now my favourite middle eastern groove outfit Sababa 5 – Allô – C A VA C A VA – set for release on Batov records on 20 Feb.
Psychedelic-tinged grooves, loose and sun-bleached.
The penultimate track and another super supporter of the channel. Label curator Harry Towell & Guy Gelem – Esplanade – Islas Calm Cloud – Whitelabrec.
Calm, esplanade-length drones, coastal in feel, minimal and modern classical in poise.
And now, as the tape nears its end, a few words before the leader tape rattles through. Thanks for staying with it. These libraries aren’t built for playlists or algorithms; they’re for the ones who still turn the dial by hand. Support the artists if any of this lodged somewhere inside you—buy the tapes, the files, the vinyl where it exists. Whisper their names when the room is quiet. It matters.
This episode streams on Mixcloud for a short while, links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments below. Say something if the mood takes you. Or say nothing. Silence has its own frequency.
The final piece is the shortest of the episode but is a gem by Kure – Moon Acid – Another from Paradigm 10 Year Label Sampler – on Glasgows finest Bricolage label.
Acid-touched moonlit electronics, another Glasgow echo, warped and lunar.
Until the next reel spins—stay resonant, stay adrift.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 171
23 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 managed to carve out for yourself. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-one. I’m Trevor, speaking to you from the other side of the tape head, where the oxide still clings and the hiss is part of the charm.
We find ourselves on the twenty-third of January, two thousand and twenty-six, with a programme assembled in the spirit of those old C90s that used to stretch evenings without apology. Two sides, as ever. A gentle flip midway through. Twenty artists in total, no more, no less. The music wanders through ambient drifts that evoke Norwegian fjords and calm clouds over islands, psychedelic excursions rooted in Tokyo’s lost forests, motorik pulses, industrial jazz fragments, electroacoustic meditations, desolate plains of techno shadow, and transmissions that feel beamed from some parallel broadcast tower.
No rush here. The pieces breathe. Some stretch beyond the usual borders. If you’re in a hurry, the dial is yours to turn. Otherwise, stay. Let the kettle whistle its own tune. Let the room settle around you.
We open with the first of five exclusive tracks for the episode. This one from Revbjelde and the piece Non Chion – from that Extracellular promo CD on Buried Treasure. Berkshire’s particular strain of industrial jazz psych motorik folk, with guests adding their edges; here it’s a slow uncoiling, fragments of voice and rhythm that feel unearthed from some forgotten field recording.
Next, WEALDHAM with Spectral Points – self-released on Bandcamp. Ghostly electronics, lo-fi edges meeting something almost jazzy and indie, spectral in the truest sense, points of light flickering in the undergrowth.
Then Harry Towell aka Glåsbird, Kaldsår – from the Islas Calm Cloud compilation on Whitelabrecs. Modern classical ambient, electroacoustic, a frozen landscape thawing very slowly, evoking those northern Scandinavian waters and quiet inlets.
Next a new artist for me. Kikagaku Moyo with Kodama – from Forest of Lost Children on Guruguru Brain. Tokyo psychedelic rock, acid folk with raga undertows and krautrock momentum; this one carries the weight of ancient trees and childlike discovery, hypnotic and unhurried.
Then German artist, Tobias Lorsbach, aka, Logic Moon, Under The Blue – also from Islas Calm Cloud on Whitelabrecs. Deep, patient ambient layers, blue horizons stretching out, calm as the title suggests.
Now the amazing Dennis Huddleston, or, 36 as you probably know him, with Imagine The Truth – from Threewave on Past Inside The Present. Vast, immersive drone and ambient textures, truth imagined in slow-motion swells.
Now Tim Gilbert, as, Fields of Few, with a short entry, Northern Light Fading – from Sines Signals on Triplicate Records. Fading auroral glows translated into electronic signals, northern skies captured in synth and reverb.
Next the second of five exclusives from Saratoga Springs based David Aimone, Formless Statement – from Eulogy for an American Dream. Dropping on the 20 February via channel favourite label Passed Recordings. A eulogy delivered in abstract, formless shapes, poignant and drifting.
Here is another short one and an exclusive from Dolly Dolly & Fogroom with Clock Tower – again from that Extracellular promo on Buried Treasure. Avant-garde abstraction, perhaps clockwork mechanics wound down to a whisper, hip-swinging in strange time.
This will be a vinyl launch will be at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, Reading, Berks. On
Sat 28th Feb – 7.30pm to 11pm. Get you tickets now.
UK based, Martin Archer led jazz collective, Orchestra Of The Upper Atmosphere, and the fourth exclusive in the form of, Moonride – from their up coming release on Discus Music. Due out 30th January. Cosmic jazz orbits, upper atmosphere drifts where melody and improvisation meet the void.
And now another channel champion in the form of Bucla easel star Giulio Fontana known as, Ogle, Walking Robots – from Dystopian Leisure on Mahorka. Robotic gait in a leisure dystopia, electronic pulses that walk with mechanical melancholy.
Here’s one of my all time top artists. Finlands finest, Jimi Tenor Band, Shine All Night featuring Florence Adooni – from the Bureau B 2025 compilation on Bureau B. Afro-futurist grooves, shining through the night with soulful brass and voices.
Now the final track before the flip from the wonderful Polish artist, Wojciech Golczewski, Transmission 21 – from End of Transmission 3 on French label Data Airlines. Synth transmissions, data streams ending in quiet dissolution.
Opening the B side is the second Bucla artist and amazing Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, I Miss The Way You Swim – from Thoughts on the Future on a couple of places. One of them being the Nettwerk label. Buchla explorations, missing the fluid motion, modular sighs and swells.
Now we head th New Zealand and, Liam Todd, as, ZHERAV, NAJA – from Naja Bazaar on London legends Batov Records. Bazaar echoes, middle eastern motifs twisted into contemporary electronic forms.
Now Toronto-based, Jordan Czamanski or, Jordan GCZ, I Said What I Said – from The Second Circle compilation on Italian label Neroli Records. Direct, unapologetic house rhythms, spoken truths over the beat.
Next Oslo based, Mikkel Haraldstad, better known as, Mikkel Rev, Desolate Plains – from the 2025 label compilation mixed by todos, on A Strangely Isolated Place. Wide, empty landscapes in techno guise, desolate yet compelling.
And now Portland based label curator Eric Angelo Bessel, Double Helix – from Mirror at Night on his Lore City Music label. Spiralling structures, night mirrors reflecting genetic twists in sound.
The penultimate track of episode 171 comes from Russian artist Aleksander Tochilkin who we know as Koett, Lost Time – from Lost Time pre-release, which is an odd title for an EP that was released in 2013 on Dutch label Atomnation. Time slipping away, recaptured in melancholic electronic memory.
And finally on the episode I present to you, the fifth exclusive from Isle of Lewis based, Ali Murray or The Lonely Bell, Elsewhere – from his upcoming release Time Lost. Preorder on the Oscaron label from the 30 January. Tones ringing from somewhere distant, elsewhere indeed.
And as the reels slow and the tape begins to slacken, a few words before the silence returns. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for playlists or quick scrolls. They’re for those who still let music occupy real time. Support the artists where you can – Bandcamp pages, labels, whatever small act keeps the chain intact. Whisper their names if you like; the void listens sometimes.
This episode streams on Mixcloud, free for a week as usual. Links, credits, the full tracklist – all at trevor.se and in the comments. Say something there if the mood takes you. Or say nothing. Either way suits.
Until the next time the cassette turns over – stay resonant.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 170
21 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 managed to carve out for yourself. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy. I’m Trevor, pulling another virtual tape from the imaginary shelf, blowing off the fantasy dust, and sliding it into the dreamed up deck.
Cassette tapes have two sides, of course. We’ll play through Side A, then flip it—virtually, mind you—and carry on with Side B. Twenty artists tonight, drawn from various corners, various decades in some cases, but all of them worth the time. No rush. The show runs as long as the tape does.
Styles drift across ambient swells from northern latitudes, submerged electronics that sound like sonar pings in forgotten wrecks, sparse house pulses, field-recorded quietudes, kinetic experiments, and a few moments of outright joyful confusion. Places echo through too: underwater depths around the MV Creteblock, Japanese winter clear skies in fuyubare which is Japanese and means just that, clear winter skies. We have snow-covered expanses in Stella Rossa territory, and various abstracted laboratories of sleep and decryption.
Side A kicks off with Berlin based, Metric System 1981 – Diffusion – Solar Return: Gollden Hour Mix – out on Toronto based ambient label – Imaginary North.
A slow unfurling of synthetic haze, layers peeling back like morning mist over still water. Patient, golden-hour glow without the need for resolution.
Don’t be fooled by this chilled opening Now we ramp up the party with Oh Mr James – The Acid Riddle – Extracellular Gig Ticket Promo CD I’ve been ranting about on the past couple of episodes – Buried Treasure.
Acid lines twist through a riddle of percussion and odd vocal fragments. Something peculiar and insistent lurks here, half-buried in the mix.
Taking us back down now, to a much darker place is Warmfield – Wreck of the MV Creteblock – Resonances from the Depths – Which is my own compilation album released on the Trevlad Bandcamp page. Pick it up for a buck. It’s got 24 Stellar artists. And a reminder to get your entries in for the next compilation dropping at the end of March.
Deep submersion piece, creaking hulls and distant bubbles. Feels like listening from inside a sunken freighter somewhere in cold northern seas. Warmfield with Wreck of the MV Creteblock
Now we’re entering Electro world with Revok – No Reflection – Mirror – A digital Bandcamp self release.
Mirrors without reflections: stark, echoing electronics that fold in on themselves. Minimal surfaces, maximum unease.
Over we drift to Lawrence – Spark – Spark EP – Ghostly International, which dropped way back in 2004.
A gentle house flicker, warm and understated. Spark as in ignition, but slow-burning, Detroit lineage felt in the restraint.
And now an absolute belter. This will have you on your feet in no time. In fact I featured it on my new series called Alone on the dance floor along with that Revok piece I played earlier. This is Baxter Dury – with the title track from the album Allbarone – Out on London based Heavenly Recordings.
Spoken-edged narratives over loose grooves. Pub philosophy meets off-kilter funk, delivered deadpan.
Shuffling up the genres again now. So how about some psych-surf rock? This is The Hamiltones – Suit Up – In Space – A name your price release on Buffalo, New York based Swimming Faith Records.
Cosmic soul strut, horns and tight rhythms lifting off into orbit. Feels like getting dressed for a mission beyond the atmosphere.
Now for some super fresh Electro stabs from SubDan – You – Moments of Joy – Out on Nottingham, UK based Remnants records.
Quiet joy in electronic form, soft pads and subtle shifts. A moment caught and held.
Now some gorgeous IDM from Djrum – Waxcap – Under Tangled Silence – Out on London label Houndstooth.
Mycelial rhythms, fungal growth in sound. Percussion that breathes, field recordings woven into the undergrowth.
The penultimate track of the A side brings the bliss with Luis Miehlich – 冬晴 (Fuyubare) – Verses – Out on the Dewtone label.
Winter clear sky translated to tones: crystalline, open space, Japanese seasonal precision in ambient form.
We end the A side in field recording teratory Lorebound – Tales of Decryption – AvRPG – Available on South Korean label Prekursor
Encrypted narratives unlocked layer by layer. RPG ambience with cryptic melodies emerging from static.
B Side
We open with some pretty wild jazz from Ljubljana, Slovenia based Etceteral – Minus – Kimatika – Out on Glitterbeat Records.
Subtraction as composition: negative space filled with sparse tones and distant pulses.
Next an old favorite of mine in the form of Benge – Five Fifty Eight – Orgoustic Plus 30.
Modular drift, clockwork precision meeting organic warmth. Time marked in subtle increments.
Now Tom Bragl – Tidal Force – Pielesh – Out on name your price Finnish label Kahvi Collective
Gravitational pull in electronic waves, tides rising slow and inevitable.
Next up Alexander Caminada aka Phonosonic – The Drifting Quiet – Sleeplaboratory60 – Whitelabrecs.
Quiet that drifts rather than settles. Field recordings and gentle drones in a sleep lab haze. I’ve played a lot from this compilation so go grab it on whitelabrecs.
While we’re on this record let’s take another dip with Tides – Light Veils –
Veils of light over water, translucent layers shimmering. Companion piece feel, same whitelabs stillness.
Now we head back to Buried treasure and that amazing Extracellular exclusive this time from Gong Girl – Kinetic Kinetic Kinetic – Extracellular Gig Ticket Promo CD.
Kinetic energy in perpetual motion, circling without landing.
So what’s missing from the episode? Ah, flutes and xylophones I hear you cry. Well I’ve got you covered. Not me personally but Dual Dialect – Conglomerate III – Meme-leak Mosaic – Conglomerate EP – out on Aussie label 4000 records.
Mosaic of leaking fragments, dialect collisions in glitch and rhythm. Chaotic assembly.
Lovely stuff there from Dual Dialect. Now to the penultimate track of episode 170 from mate of the channel. Simon Heartfield – Across The Snow – Stella Rossa – all live hardware stuff zero computers. Featuring a vocal samples by Isle of Wight artist Roberta Fidora.
Snowfield traversal: cold expanse, distant horizons in melodic ambient strokes.
To end this episode we bliss out with two artists I’ve played in previous outings but not together. Well here they are. Anita Tatlow & Runaway Horses – with the opening piece from their 5 track EP – The Shore from Above – The his is – confused and happy – out on Echoes Blue Music.
Shoreline vantage, happiness tangled with confusion. Voices and strings adrift on the edge.
Outro –
And then the tape will wind to the end. Thanks for staying with it. These selections aren’t chasing trends or filling slots—they’re simply pieces I wanted to hear in sequence. Support the artists where you can: Bandcamp pages, physical releases if they exist, or at least send a whisper of appreciation their way. It all travels further than you think.
This episode streams on Mixcloud for a short while, links and full credits at trevor.se, comments open if anything strikes you. Or stay quiet. Quiet has its own frequency.
Until the next tape calls—stay curious, stay listening. Here is Anita Tatlow & Runaway Horses with confused and happy.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 165
10 January 2026
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, Trevor here, and this is the all new Virtual Cassette Library and episode one‑six‑five.
First up we have the La Ponto Ensemblo which is actually a duo made up of Hans-Dieter Schmidt and Edward-Clark Cornell who together make delicate and harsh neo-classical pieces. This is track five from their latest release Fragile Objects: In A Harsh Environment.
Headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.
Next up an old favourite of mine in the form of fellow Irishman David K. Mason. Better known as Listening Center. Mason is now based in New York and runs the rather fantastic Temporary tapes label. Although this track, Plugged In Nollaig, (nollaig being Irish for Christmas) is from the Subexotic Records compilation EP Yule 25.
Just a heads up, 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.
Now next up the original sounds of Sam Prekop. Sam is a master of modular synthesis. This is the title track from his latest release Open Close which is available through Thrill Jockey Records.
Now Mark Donlon also known as CZiGO with the dare I say jazz fusion injected piece, SERPITUDE, from his album, Techno Feudal. The latest to drop on New Zealand based Machine Records.
Now Russian artist NDORFIK with the Idm vibe Saimaa which is named after a Finnish lake and here is given a Finnish remix by the legendary Lackluster. The album of the same name is available through the Local Gods label.
Next up is from the i u we records label. A label focussing on the beauty of female diversity in electronic music.
The artist is Silver Galaky and is a duo made up of Anna-Maria Van Reusel on modular and keyboard synthesizers, and usually a very imaginative guitarist Dennis Slypen. Although this piece might well be just anna letting loose on her 5U Moon Modular system. The track is Strahlensammler and is from the upcoming compilation release connected #3. Dropping on i u we records on the 20th of January.
Now one of my favourite Swedish artists at the moment. Albin Johansson who simply goes by the name Albin. Everything Albin has released is gold. He has that retro library music ear which I cherish. This is the title track from the name your price EP DFAM which I believe is entirely written on the Moog Drummer From Another Mother. Albin is also a curator of the Malmö label Paltunes. Let’s go.
And now staying in Sweden in a way. from my neighbours up the road Passed Recordings recent, must have Chrimbo compilation The Ghost of Christmas passed I’ve pulled another great track from the 35 piece strong release in the form of this short entry, Snowfields by the artist Angel who I no nothing about. Enjoy…
Next up a long live piece I’ve kept its entirety for the episode. This is the artist Ryan Watts who goes by the wonderful name of Akira Film Script. Here with the piece E. Not to be confused with E or E.. Which are tracks on the same album titled Live at the Modern. It’s released on a label you should all know by now, whitelabrecs run by the unstoppable Harry Towell.
And now to end the virtual A side another figure of the ambient scene who does more than his fair share, Boris Potschubay who we all know as Jogging House. Boris curates the fantastic label Seil Records on which he has released the album Kiosk. Here he is with the track Worn.
Starting off the B side was the wonderful harp-like piano sounds and jazz phrasings of Brooklyn based artist Eliot Krimsky with the track, Transmission, from the album, I Made My House. Out on the outstanding Moon Glyph
Next a track of my own titled Trunk Stubbed Wiser which is a What3Words geographical location where I’ve filmed a visual to go with the piece on youtube.
It’s from the album TVCL 07.
Now a legend who for me embodies the late 90s IDM mood. French artist Alain Pachins, better known as, CIALYN here with a live take called, Last Lights / Winds Reader, from the album, 24:1900 Session Live.
Now to Melbourne bassist and producer Karl Willebrant. The ultra prolific Willebrant has released two albums since the release of The Knight Seas which was released in November. Here is an almost 11 minute treat, Thoughts of Them (A Knight on a Beach Mix – slowed and reverb)
Next up the unmistakable organic electronic sound of KILN which is actually a group made up of Kevin Hayes, Kirk Marrison, and Clark Rehberg III. Here is a track from their 8th album, Lemon Borealis. Which was released on the wonderful label, A Strangely Isolated Place. This is Ptarmigan which is a form of grouse found in northern and arctic regions.
And now a short piece from the fun Dutch artist Toxic Chicken. This is the track, Inner Worlds, from the album, Felicity out on the brilliant label Ingrown Records.
Staying with Ingrown Records, here is another quicky, from label curator, Raw Ryan , here as the artist, Anubis Rude, and the 37 second ditty, Spirit Bell, from the album, Explorer. Support the Ingrown Records label. It’s needed.
Next up Jason Courtney aka, In Darkness There Is Light shortened to (IDTiL),
and another Machine Records release titled, A Screensaver Of Emotions, this is the pumping minute long, Ahhhh Sequence.
Now to the penultimate track and something different from British born, Vienna based, Mark Peter Royce Featuring Cecilia C from Tempestine and the track, Antidote, from the album Twilight in the Altered World.
We end with the beautiful ambient warblings of Collette Andrea who goes by the name Gollden. Collette helps curate the Toronto based label Imaginary North together with Daniel Field of Kilometre Club fame. Thank you all for tuning into episode 165 of the Virtual Cassette library. I hope you like its new direction. Sending us home is Gollden with, destiny #9, from the album, Destiny.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 162
1 January 2026
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‑two of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Mugs Softest Owners—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.
Before we begin, a very warm Happy New Year to you. Whether you’re listening on a walk, in the quiet of the early hours, or hiding from the world with a pair of headphones, I hope 2026 brings you peace, curiosity, and a few unexpected sonic discoveries.
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. And a quick note: the tracks by Simon McCorry and Gregory Paul Mineeff in this episode are exclusives from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation sleeplaboratory6.0. Apologies to Harry for playing so many pieces from this wonderful release, which drops tomorrow, the 2nd of January. When something’s good, it’s hard not to share it.
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 kosmische corners, microtonal detours, lullabies, croquettes, mythology, therapy, vortexes, and the occasional snow‑dusted memory. 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.”
