Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 123
30 September 2025
///mute.joke.renting.
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at the coordinates ///mute.joke.renting—Episode 123 of Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. A title, a signal, a portal. Drop it into What3Words and you’ll locate the visual echo of this transmission.
The track you’re hearing—“Mute Joke Renting”—isn’t just the name of the episode. It’s the pulse beneath my voice, the gravitational center of today’s journey. Available for pre-order on Bandcamp, already whispering through YouTube, it sets the tone for what’s to come.
Today’s mix is a 90-minute drift through curated frequencies—designed for walking meditations, mental meanderings, and communion with the cosmos. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion.
🌀 Side A opens with Altus’ “Pattern Theory,” followed by KeepSleep’s “complex feelings,” Susumu Yokota’s “Sleepy Eye,” and Anita Tatlow & Applefish’s “Celestial Drift.” Alex Ringess paints landscapes of the soul, while John McBain stretches time with “Fade In Fade Out.” Zavijava Orchestra, Cole Pulice, and Windstar Enterprises guide us through hidden nooks and cosmic breezes. Skeptical Inquirer and Ogle close the side with forest echoes and pond reflections.
🌊 Side B flips the signal with Sven Wunder’s “Misty Shore” and Sandro Brugnolini’s “Africaneìdico.” Trevlad returns with “Area Vent Clutter,” anchoring the mix before Radio Free London’s “At the Edge of Forever” and frostlake’s “Behind Closed Eyes.” Datasal and Rival Consoles bring texture and pulse, while Martin Solos and Cate Le Bon stir the stars. Zeke Clough and Twilight Sequence lead us into the pink forest, followed by Cate Francesca Brooks, Bryan Rohmer, and the trio of Meierkord, Lucchi & Kobak. Corrado Maria De Santis closes the journey with “Entangled Uncertainties.”

Sonic Ritual.
🎙️
Trevor here, transmitting once again from home base—Sollentuna, Sweden. This is your gateway to another immersive expedition through sound: Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 085.
A 90-minute 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.
Today’s flight is sponsored by the labels that keep our circuits humming: 🌐 Mahorka, DRONARIVM, Downstream Records, Cyclical Dreams, Sonor Music Editions, Mystery Circles, Preston Capes, and Error Prone Records. Special thanks to our sponsoring artists: Tommy Perman and Everyday Dust.

📼 A-Side Exclusive: “Canción del Adiós” 🎧 From the forthcoming album Songs for the Mist Forest by Morgan Szymanski & Tommy Perman Tommy kindly sent me an advance copy, and I’m honored to share this track with you. It’s a farewell—but not a quiet one. Vocals from Morgan, Tommy, Fernanda González, Juan Cordova, and Juan Pablo Ortíz rise like mist from the undergrowth, weaving through classical guitar and delicate electronics.
Born in the mist forests of Valle de Bravo, Mexico, this track mourns the loss of fireflies, birds, crickets, and the endangered Abronias—small, dragon-like reptiles now on the red list. But it also carries hope. A call to listen. A call to act. The full album releases July 18, 2025. This one’s for the dragons.
🔁 Virtual B-Side Exclusive: “^We Dance” by vx/hope 🎧 From the upcoming album the hungry will always choose a full belly over a full mind 🕯️ Sponsored by Woodford Halse’s sister label, Preston Capes Neil Whitehead and Pete Hope return with a track that misleads with its title—offering not celebration, but confrontation. Gravel-voiced poetry over pummeling beats and abstract textures. Dance music for the disenchanted. The full album drops August 1, 2026. “^We Dance” appears only in the digital edition—slightly extended and fully unhinged.
🎶 Also featuring: Backpullver, Shamanez, gribbles, Trevlad, Tim Six, Flux Of Sensations, John Scott Shepherd, Jamie Zarfas, Bartosz Dziadosz, The Flashbulb, Sandro Brugnolini, eardrops, Tim Koch, Waldgrenze, Chaircrusher, Fred Thomas, Philippe Neau, LR Friberg, Christian Kleine, Wavefiler, x.y.r., Suncastle, and no1uknw.
