Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape. Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 274. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not. If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark. A textured, slightly nocturnal ambient journey through quiet intensity, natural shifts, and digital calm. Side A moves from prowling glass and sea changes into moonlight grass, barrel flowers, reduced beats, and deep geological time. Side B drifts through wormeries, rushing ascent, liquid amber circles, grid edges, digital meditation, and ends on an old road. Overall mood: Contemplative, atmospheric, and gently dynamic — blending organic warmth with subtle tension and quiet modern stillness. Perfect for late-evening listening, deep focus, or peaceful immersion. I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition. The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,101 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures. Side A On this episode you’ll hear the sprawling and inventive side-project of Suncastle’s George Evans and Kristofer Thomas aka Paris Texas who together call themselves Glass Roots. Yes it’s an older release from 2020 but as it’s on Triplicate records it means that it’s Name Your Price on Bandcamp. Which suits my unimployed world. Anyway the track is a stomping Idm piece titled “Panther Loud” from the album “The Idiot”. Go grab it for as little as you can. Then a dose of slapped bass in a wonderful track titled “Sea Change” by friend of the shows Emily Sobool, aka Socool who has teamed up with Paul Griffin and released a collection of tunes under the name “Dreams & Riddles” Next, another team up with Elizabeth Joan Kelly aka Orca and David Rodriguez aka Attack! with a highly original piece titled “Grass In The Moonlight” which is a great name so I think I’ll title this episode after it. It’s from a release out on the Mortality Tables label called, yes “Grass In The Moonlight”. This will be followed by, would you believe it?, another duo in the form of Ali O’May and Frazer Brown as Dohnavùr and a captivating synth adventure titled “Flowers In The Barrel” from their latest release “We Owe Each Other Everything” which you can get on vinyl from that Castles In Space that’s in everyones library. After that, not a another duo, o no, a Leeds based act of unknown numbers. Active between 1993-1994 called Adel Music Club. You’ll be treated to some sweet drum breaks and bongos or highly tuned congas in the track titled “Break Beats Nothing” from the release called “Golden Acres” out on the channel supporting FRBH Recordings. Closing Side A is of course another duo. A name all of you know and are probably a bit tired of after this release. It is of course Boards of Canada with the wonderfully wobbly track “Deep Time” from their latest gem “Inferno”. That’s on vinyl in my collection and is available through Warp Records. But first, to set the vibe: Glass Roots and Panther Loud. Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us. One side flip. Just the music. Side B Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting. You’ll hear a founder of Triplicate Records, Mr. Michael Southard aka Time Rival and an exclusive, I dare say, from his Bandcamp subscription library titled “Rush Up” from the album “stay safe out there“ which has an official release on the 2nd of October. Then, speaking of Triplicate Records and their amazing back catalogue I’m playing Belial Pelegrim and an enchanting track titled “Circle of Liquid Ambers”. from the 2020 album “Torus”. Next. No episode of TVCL would be complete without a dose of modular tweakings. We head to another channel supporting label Paris based Hylé Tapes and the artist Aurel Val with the track “Grid’s End” from the album “Mods-1”. Go grab one of the 7 remaining cassettes on Hylé Tapes. Near the end we travel to Genoa, Italy with a downtempo summer vibe piece by artist Brioskj titled “Digital Meditation” from the EP The Persuaders! And that’s another Name Your Price release from Finlands finest label: Kahvi Collective. And finally, a real exclusive track from a true friend of the show. A gentleman fond of words and espicially dialects. Mr. Graham Thorpe who of course is better know as gribbles at least for now. Keep an eye out for upcoming stuff in his own name. Anyway I’m playing a Lemon Jelly flavoured track titled “Owd Roa (Part)” from an upcoming release titled “Agatewards” dropping on boutique label Yellowbelly Records on the 4th of September. Keep an eye out for that. But first, another exclusive, that makes three for this episode! That deserves a subscription from someone out there does it not? Anyway, this is an amazing piece of audio art by Imogen Haley Baker who calls herself Enofa, and a rather haunted track titled “The Wormery” from an album called “Small Modernist House in Woodland Setting” which was sent to me by the wonderful Dan Seville, who runs the equally wonderful Subexotic Records. That will be released on double LP black vinyl from the 14th of August. According to the blurb for this release, Imogen made close to a hundred different pieces of music. A lot of htem, she says, will probably stay on her hard drive for decades. Well if you’re listening Imogen, yoou could enter one in for my quiet figures compilation. Anyway Enjoy…

Good evening… or good morning, wherever you are. This is Trevor.

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 Endless beige grass bends under pale sun, single power line hums, footsteps leave no trace on the flat, quiet expanse.

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.”
“Evening all. Episode one-four-five of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Voucher Bags Marriage. That’s the track you can hear underneath, and, oddly enough, it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—up on YouTube if you’re curious.” “I’m Trevor. Bringing you ninety minutes, two virtual sides, forty-five minutes each. Fifteen tracks per set. No chatter, no interruptions. Just the music, rolling on like a festival stage that turns—one act fading, another coming into view.” “Keys in focus this time: A sharp, B flat, and G minor. New friends joining us, Shay Hazan, John Garner and SUCCULENT SUCCUBUS. familiar names including, Asha Patera, Ed Herbers, Binaural Space, DARK FIDELITY HIFI, Audio Obscura and more. labels like Mahorka, Ingrown Records, Buried Treasure, and Subexotic Records keeping the whole thing alive. They’re the soul of the show, really. There’s even an exclusive track by Leisure Prison from the album Living Space dropping on Downstream Records on the 24th of November.” “If you’d like to be part of these missions, send your work to trevlad@gmail.com.

This episode includes 3 exclusive tracks that you’ll probably only hear here before they are officially released. The A side opens with a descent beneath the surface—into fractured ground and emotional resonance. From Newcastle’s electronic frontier, Bartholomew brings us “Land Fracture”, a track from his forthcoming album Subterranea, releasing July 25th via Castles In Space very own Lunar Module. Crafted by composer Chris Bartholomew, whose theatrical credits include the Barbican and National Theatre Studio, this piece fuses cinematic storytelling with generative electronics, orchestral textures, and raw sonic abrasion. It’s a meditation on instability—both geological and emotional. 🌀 “Land Fracture” feels like a fault line rendered in sound. Granular textures crackle beneath sweeping harmonic arcs. There’s tension, but also grace. Think Hans Zimmer’s emotional weight, Tim Hecker’s digital erosion, and Ben Frost’s stark minimalism—all refracted through Bartholomew’s unique lens. The album Subterranea was born after a shared bill with Gordon Chapman-Fox of Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan. That performance led to this release on Lunar Module, and it’s already drawing praise from sonic visionaries like Leafcutter John, who described the album as: “Cryogenically frozen Beach Boys slowly melting from the Earth’s final great glacier.” 🎧 “Land Fracture” is just one of eight tracks that explore resilience, collapse, and the beauty found in broken structures. The full album drops July 25th on CD and digital. If you’re near Newcastle, don’t miss the launch party at The Globe on July 24th. 🌌 Let the ground shift. Let the frequencies fracture. This is Bartholomew.
Also on the A side a moment of return, of memory, of warmth wrapped in stillness. This exclusive preview comes from the upcoming album Aunque llegue la mañana by Spanish duo Raúl Cantizano and David Cordero, featuring the haunting voice of Lela Soto. The track is titled “Algo a lo que regresar”—something to return to—and it lives up to its name. It’s a quiet invocation of place and feeling, where Cantizano’s flamenco guitar gently converses with Cordero’s ambient textures. The result is a soundscape that feels both rooted and weightless, like a memory suspended in golden light. 🌀 Lela Soto’s voice drifts in like a breeze through an open window—fragile, soulful, and timeless. Her presence adds a spectral warmth to the minimalist arrangement, grounding the electronics in something deeply human. This is not fusion—it’s communion. Flamenco and ambient don’t clash here; they breathe together. The track is part of a larger work that explores absence, light, and the quiet persistence of hope. 🎧 The full album releases July 18, 2025, via Noray Records, with a limited cassette edition and digital formats available. Until then, this exclusive track offers a glimpse into a world where tradition and experimentation meet in hushed reverence. 🌙 Let this be your anchor. Let it remind you of something worth returning to. ⚡️ The final exclusive of the episode follows directly after this.—a track that doesn’t whisper, it confronts. This is “Trans Kid Karmic Vengeance” by East London’s Bit Cloudy, from the upcoming full-length protest album U.S. Nadir, releasing August 8th, 2025. Known for his work across labels like Castles In Space, Lost Map, and Front and Follow, Bit Cloudy delivers a sonic gut-punch here—an instrumental that seethes with urgency and layered defiance. It’s IDM with teeth. Ambient with a purpose. 🌀 “Trans Kid Karmic Vengeance” is a title that says everything before the first note hits. It’s a rallying cry, a reckoning, and a reclamation. The track itself is a dense weave of distorted textures, and melodic fragments that shimmer like broken glass in sunlight. It’s fierce, but never chaotic—every element is placed with intention. It’s resistance in waveform. A response to cruelty, to erasure, to the systems that fail the most vulnerable. And it’s delivered with a clarity that cuts through the noise. 🎧 Pre-order the full album U.S. Nadir via Bit Cloudy’s Bandcamp Page.

The listener who answered the call for this special episode is Steve Browne. Who suggested John Haughey who this entire mix is based upon. Steve and I both discovered John through the now, sadly defunct, Werra Foxma label, curated by the wonderfully charming Frazer Brown and his better half I believe. John Haughey hails from Craigavon, Northern Ireland and has also released works with one of my favourite labels Waxing Crescent Records. Check them out on Band Camp they are Name Your Price gems. Sponsoring labels: Mahorka, Projekt Records, and, ARCHIVES. Sponsoring artists: Marius Leicht, The Metamorph, and, Krakenkraft.
