Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 196
25 April 2026
Skivcentrum in Uppsala where I bought Bitches Brew.
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. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-six.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous. But really it’s just me and the frequencies in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets we exist.
Stream it free for seven days on Mixcloud.
The background track is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11 on Bandcamp. The episodes are sonic journeys with metaphysical flips at the halfway mark—perfect for long walks, mental wanders, or quiet moments alone with the universe.
No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
This episode is broadcasting from a record store in Uppsala where I bought Bitches Brew.
Headphones on. Let time dissolve. And let the frequencies claim you.
A Side
Survey Channel – Jaa’abaní (Dustopian Frequencies, Celebrating The Bat Chapter 2: Into The Night, April 2026)
A bat-radar pulse that maps the night sky in flickering code – Peel would’ve played this twice.
Justice – Repercussus (Dustopian Frequencies, Celebrating The Bat Chapter 2: Into The Night, April 2026)
Echoes rebound like guilt in an empty church; dark, devotional techno.
Hamandra – Nocturnal Conundrum (Secuencias Temporales, various compilations circa 2020–2026)
A puzzle wrapped in velvet dusk – hypnotic and slightly dangerous.
Tomoroh Hidari – Black Star Elevator (Mahorka, Music For Elevators Vol.4, December 2012)
Rides the shaft between floors of reality; creaking, beautiful, eternal.
Recidivist – Characteristic Techniques (Mahorka, Eastern Depths IV, September 2020)
Bulgarian underground grit that smells of solder and rain on concrete.
The Black Dog – Static Between Us (Dust Science / The Black Dog Bandcamp, Loud Ambient 2, April 2026)
Sheffield static that feels like two old friends not quite touching.
Darkhalf – The Cave (Dustopian Frequencies – recent compilation appearance)
Dripping limestone beats from somewhere far below the daylight world.
The Heartwood Institute – The Beach At Drigg – Rescued (Folk Police Recordings, Plague Dogs, April 2026)
Haunting coastal elegy rescued from the tides of memory.
The Science – Farewells and hellos (Mahorka, Eastern Depths IV, September 2020)
A two-minute postcard from the edge of goodbye and beginning.
*Photophobik – Coldchain (Woodford Halse – yet to be released)
Frozen signal from a label that never misses; ice-cold future ambient.
B Side
Hexham Wolf – The Night Singer (Dustopian Frequencies, Celebrating The Bat Chapter 2: Into The Night, April 2026)
A lone howl that turns the dark into velvet theatre.
Dogs Versus Shadows & Nicholas Langley – Substation Doll Gets Its Own Back (Strategic Tape Reserve, 16mm, April 2026)
Cassette ghosts reclaiming the power grid – playful, eerie, perfect.
Phil Geraldi – Taos Hum (ChakraWhip / Not Not Fun, Rural Deceased Undiscovered, May 2026)
That low eternal buzz you can’t unhear once the desert gets inside you.
*Farmacia – Cinco Cuartos (Woodford Halse – yet to be released)
Warm, flickering quarters of analogue light from the Doncaster vaults.
RIKAAR – Raining Space Mellow X (Rikaar Bandcamp – recent)
Space rain that tastes like melancholy and neon.
MiDi BiTCH – Genex Turm [Belgrad] (Cyclical Dreams – recent)
Belgrade tower transmission beamed straight into the nervous system.
Tim Stebbing – Homeward (Cyclical Dreams – recent)
Gentle propulsion toward whatever home means tonight.
E.U.E.R.P.I. – Left-Right (Mahorka – recent)
Stereo panning that feels like walking through two parallel memories.
Salamanda – allez, pousse! (Salamanda Bandcamp – recent)
French-tinged push into brighter, stranger territory.
OID – i-ph jz master (LO Recordings – recent)
Glitchy phone-jazz from the wires between worlds.
[Outro]
You’ve been listening to… well, everything.
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, frequencies and me.
Send files, codes, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
See you in the next crack in the wall.
Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 160
28 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‑sixty of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Applied Crawled Wires—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. A couple of treats in this one too: the Andy Maurer and Clariloops pieces are exclusives from the upcoming Whitelabrecs release Sleep Laboratory 6.0, and The Home Current track is taken from the forthcoming Subexotic Records album A Point Blank Dream. Always nice to have something you can’t hear anywhere else—yet.
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 drifts through ambient corners, modular murmurs, soft‑focus electronics, and the occasional unexpected detour. 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.”
