Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 188
28 March 2026
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-eight.
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 city outside forgets we exist.
bags.colder.inched.
a great Thai restaurant, apparently. now it’s a coordinate for whatever this episode is.
twenty artists. no schedule. drops when the mood hits.
labels haunting the margins: Passed Recordings, whitelabrecs, Ingrown, Audiobulb… you know the ones.
braindance, idm, alternative, whatever slips between the cracks like water through broken concrete.
Honolulu to Amsterdam to Prague to Saint Petersburg. the world’s shrinking but the weird pockets are still warm.
send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
send stories for Chord Confessions. that track that ruined you or saved you. i’ll read it in my sleep-voice or you record it yourself. win-win-win.
I’m also doing Trev Tales now—little dreams stitched into the sets. long lucid naps you’re not sure you want to wake up from.
headphones on.
let time dissolve.
and let the frequencies claim you.
First out from the amazing Passed Recordings label stable Cavern Cult – Of Hope (from the album Approach)
This is followed by Russian idm champ NDORFIK – Joensuu from the album NORTHERN CACHE out on Clean Error Records after that some Loneward. but first Of Hope by Offenbach based Cavern Cult.
That was Mike Carss aka Loneward – The Unknowable Realm of Wisdom from the album Paradox of Silken Stars out on Altus Music.
Next up we head back to 2018 The Microgram – No Service from the album Savage Architecture which I received courtesy of Free Album Codes, cheers mate. Out on the Lansing, Michigan based Kaiseki Digital label.
This is followed by another great Passed Recordings release by David Aimone – Curiosità Ajmone and the track TimeDown
After that The Bird’s Companion and Neil McRoberts but first No Service by The Microgram.
You’ve just been listening to The Bird’s Companion and Neil McRoberts – Another Day from a few places, one of them being the compilation This Burnished Land a wonderful NYP release on whitelabrecs.
Coming up some quality indie pop in the form of Saya Gray – LIE DOWN.. from the album SAYA out on Dirty Hit records.
Followed by California beach vibes with Poolside – Looking Backwards out on Counter Records. and then some Black Country, New Road but first LIE DOWN.. by Saya Gray
That was the post-rock stylings of Black Country, New Road – Intro from the album Ants From Up There out on Ninja Tune.
Next up the episodes newest release by Jics. Out on whitelabrecs today March 28th.
Followed by Man as Island – Automaton from the album AN that’s out on Russian label Local Gods and was sent in by NDORFIK who I played earlier. After that the virtual B side flip but first Jics – What Brings You Here from the album New South Wales.
B SIDE
That was Prague based artist Kh3rtis – Still, for a Time from the album In the Wake of Light out on Audionautic Records.
Next up Leslie Lowder aka idiiom – Solitude from the album Neural Network out on the Audiobulb label.
after that Blank Embrace – The Caves from the 2018 release Ascension out on the Kaiseki Digital label.
Then some odd person
You’ve just witnessed odd person – earthquake anxiety – my dismal arcadia available on the outstanding Ingrown Records label. Who is homeless at the moment so any purchases from them could be life saving.
Coming up me, Trevlad – Pipe Fluid Fame which is a location from a Hotel in Dublin where I recorded the visual for the video that goes with this piece. All my track names are geolocations of places that mean something to me personally. I use them for the backgrounds in the intros and outros of the episodes Pipe Fluid Fame is from episode 165 back in January. After that Simon Holmes – Broken (South Sudan) from the compilation A Century of Sounds out on the legendary Cities and Memory label. This is followed by Tomo Katsurada & Misha Panfilov but first myself as Trevlad with Pipe Fluid Fame.
That was Tomo Katsurada & Misha Panfilov – Mostra – Eternal Almost out on the label Future Days Radio run by Tomo himself.
Now the penultimate piece of episode 188 of Trev’s Virtual cassette library is by Wunderfish – Through Painted Figures (Prologue) – the third piece in the show from the Kaiseki Digital label courtesy of the amazing Free album Codes. This one’s from the compilation Bento Box, Vol. 1
We end this adventure with a stunning 8 minute outing by Ben McElroy – Surely There Are Worse Things – from the album Bird-Stone which you could purchase via whitelabrecs.
that’s it for episode 188.
thanks for floating here with me.
if you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
no meetings. no rules. just dust and frequencies.
See you in the next crack in the drywall.
Cheerio…
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

11 December 2025
“Greetings all. Episode one-five-four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Decide Views Packages. That’s the track you hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—it’s up on YouTube if you’re curious.
I’m Trevor, presenting ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. Tonight you’ll hear Ranga on Secuencias Temporales, Augen from Womblabel, and FernLodge via Unexplained Sounds Group. Mark Barrott with Norma Winstone and Leo Taylor bring a celestial touch, while Steve Hauschildt and Martin Stürtzer stretch into kosmische and deep ambient zones. On the B side, Dolphins of Venice on Mahorka, Ekoplekz, Portland Vows, and my own track Project Admire Spreads drift through the signal. Jah Wobble, Kid Spatula, and Pyramids of Phobos add echoes of spoken word, IDM, and hauntological soundscapes.
Labels orbiting here include Adventurous Music, Cyclical Dreams, Third Kind Records, Wormhole World, and Balmat. Styles range from ambient and deep techno to ritual electronics, kosmische, jazz-funk, and experimental sound art. These transmissions stretch across places—Mexico City, Lisbon, Leipzig, Glasgow, and Uppsala—woven into the resonance of the library.
The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre‑order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. Every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.

This episode contains some household names like Hainbach, Loula Yorke and Matthew Halsall. Some friends of the channel like HDRF, Apta and Bryan Rohmer as well as some supporting labels like Third Kind Records, Mystery Circles, Moolakii Club Audio Interface, DiN records and many more. All the artists and labels are the soul of this show.
There is one exclusive track on this episode from the Argentinian trio of OdNu, Mi Cosa de Resistance and friend of the show mRn. The track, Regalo de Adios, comes from their upcoming album, Southern Lands, which drops November 29th on Sheffield based label, Audiobulb.
