Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 313

Portal Reload

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.

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.

The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies.

Now imagine each episode as a colossal rotating stage — a great mechanical blooming lotus. You, the audience only ever glimpse a sliver of it at a time. Every artist is allotted the exact time it takes them to perform their piece. Then they rotate out of view, and the next act glides in. The stage spins at whatever speed the track demands.
The names of the artists and labels I’ll mention before each set — or “side,” as the cassette alchemists call them. Six little incantations per set, plus a general mist of what mood to expect.
Now the stage begins to turn.

A doorway that reboots itself, then a planet showing you the face it keeps away from the sun.

Side A coughs the portal awake, paints Milan limb by limb in grey-cheek library jazz, docks Ishtar’s goddess-ship, waits for Blue Bell Hill to switch from black-and-white to blossom, folds a desert peacock that rarely leaves the room, and hums a 7-inch bodega under fluorescent strip-light.

Side B parks godhead in the sprawl, waltzes a chest-pain name you cannot pronounce, pours top brass that refuses to complicate, walks the talk until it grows bass strings, holds the only hands that exist to be held, and ends on the dark side of the earth — the hemisphere the dying star never got around to lighting.

Overall mood: Playful, cinematic, and quietly cosmic — full of Clay Pipe colour, Batov half-shut eyes, and infrastructure filed under prayer. Perfect for late listening, bodega aisles after hours, or sitting with the drawbridge down while the next spool still waits.


Mood mist: a doorway that reboots itself, Milan painted limb by limb, a goddess-ship docking on the lotus, a council estate coming into colour, a desert peacock that rarely leaves the room, a 7-inch bodega humming under fluorescent strip-light.

00:03:30 DaoLogic – Portal Reload
https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/track/portal-reload
From the album: Source Vive Label: Mahorka
The portal coughs, then remembers its password. Warm crispy beats walking you through without extrasystoles. You enter. The source is still alive.
00:07:27 Barigozzi Group – Grey Cheeks
https://fourfliesrecords.bandcamp.com/track/grey-cheeks
From the album: Woman’s Colours Label: Four Flies Records
the last colour on a body mapped in library jazz. Wurlitzer blushing while the flute keeps the secret.
00:09:34 Gong – Ship Of Ishtar
https://gongband.bandcamp.com/track/ship-of-ishtar
From the album: Unending Ascending.
Venus at the tiller. Sacred cargo under the sails, clocks not yet reset. Climb aboard — the guitar is already a spaceship, but tonight the ship is Ishtar.
00:17:50 David Boulter – Blue Bell Hill
https://claypipemusic.bandcamp.com/track/blue-bell-hill
From the album: St Ann’s Label: Clay Pipe Music
Blue Bell Hill before the demolition learned its manners. Black-and-white streets waiting for the cherry blossom to switch the world to colour.
00:20:04 Taftir – Tavasim
https://taftir.bandcamp.com/track/tavasim-2
From the EP: Od Layla Ba Ayara Label: Batov Records
Desert town, five players, a soul ballad they almost never play live. Feathers folded. The groove keeps its eyes half-shut.
00:23:05 East Side Supply – The Bodega
https://eastsidesupply.bandcamp.com/track/the-bodega
From the single: DELICATESSEN / THE BODEGA Label: Sonor Music Editions
Harpsichord and flute shopping the aisles. Axelrod hits between the tinned peaches. The bodega closes the side before the lotus can blink.


Mood mist: sprawl praying to itself, a chest-pain waltz with a name you cannot pronounce, brass that refuses to complicate, Watt walking the talk into orbit, hands that only exist to be held, a planet showing you the face it keeps away from the sun.

00:27:57 boycalledcrow – godhead
https://boycalledcrow.bandcamp.com/track/godhead
From the album: the sprawl Label: Mortality Tables
Godhead parked in the sprawl. Mortality Tables filing the prayer under “infrastructure.”

a syllable that arrived before the translation. Vol.1 still catching its breath.
00:33:53 Matt Berry – Top Brass Two
https://mattberry.bandcamp.com/track/top-brass-two
From the album: Simplicity Label: Acid Jazz Records
Top brass, second helping. Simplicity wearing a tie it does not need. Acid Jazz pouring the good stuff and leaving the bottle.
00:36:50 Galecstasy & Mike Watt Trio – Walk the Talk
https://galecstasy.bandcamp.com/track/walk-the-talk
From the album: Wattzotica Label: Mystery Circles

00:40:15 The Mistys – A Hand Is To Hold
https://themistysband.bandcamp.com/track/a-hand-is-to-hold
From the album: Situations | Useless Mouths Label: Castles In Space
A hand is to hold. Useless mouths taking the night off. Castles In Space leaving the drawbridge down.
00:43:46 Martin Solos – Dark Side of the Earth
https://martinsolos.bandcamp.com/track/dark-side-of-the-earth
From the album: Heart of a Dying Star.
the hemisphere the dying star never got around to lighting. Heart still beating in the shade.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 298

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-298/

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.

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 restless ambient and experimental journey through protected light, subway chaos, and quiet figures still gathering.
Side A opens in remixed German-Czech-Spanish frequencies and Bristol trio gravity, then moves through Chester grandmother light, Berlin bouncing patterns, whimsical DNA cheesecake, and limbs of sticks under Machen’s bridge. Side B settles into Salt LX thoughts carried by wind, absolute chaos circuits, dark-ambient lounge noise, simple guitar drones that wait for yes, submerged porcelain systems, and a Quiet Figures remix that percolates the filter open.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly dark, and richly layered — full of analogue edges, exclusive whispers, and slow openings. Perfect for late listening, deep immersion, or sitting with what keeps moving while the figures remain.

The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.

The tape unspools its visions.


00:01:17 Möe – Incierta (Høll Remix)
Möe – Incierta (Høll Remix). German, Czech and Spanish frequencies meet in protected digital light. Diego Castillo’s original gains new remix colour under Jorge Eafhm’s mastering.
00:08:06 Slate Trio – Hour of Zog
Slate Trio – Hour of Zog. Neil Smith’s guitar, Matthew Jones’s drums and Alex Heane’s bass lock into Bristol air. James King records and mixes. Rick Dowding masters.
00:14:25 (EXCLUSIVE) boycalledcrow – orb
boycalledcrow – orb. First exclusive of the episode. Carl M Knott’s sprawl approaches on 11 September. Heavier beats and dub-inflected soundscapes rise around Chester rooms and grandmother light.
00:16:51 Sebastian Arnold – Bits Keep Moving
Sebastian Arnold – Bits Keep Moving. One-man band of drums, percussion, synthesizers and live electronics. Bouncing patterns and tricky acoustic beats fill Tricone Studios at Funkhaus Berlin. Bewegung, Klang, Energie.
00:21:41 Daily Mail Comments Section – Estradiol Cheesecake
Daily Mail Comments Section – Estradiol Cheesecake. Imogen Hayley Baker’s whimsical alias carries DNA from Lucy, Evie, Christiane, Meghan, Heather and Shannon. Billie Bacon adds hammer.
00:23:10 Grey Malkin – Our Limbs Are Made Of Sticks
Grey Malkin – Our Limbs Are Made Of Sticks. Arthur Machen’s bridge of light spans the gulf. Alison O’Donnell, Burnt Paw, Alan Davidson, David Colohan, Speculum Bunny, Amanda Votta and the Liminal Choir join woodwind and voice. Tides of time come in.

The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.


00:27:50 Jogging House – Roofer
Jogging House – Roofer. Salt LX phrases re-interpreted through Digitakt 2, Polyvera, modular and single takes to quarter-inch tape. Thoughts dwell. Winds carry.
00:32:42 Alex Ringess – Towards Absolute Chaos
Alex Ringess – Towards Absolute Chaos. Three or four instruments hold the space. Project files from Analog Abstractions carry the same mix. Glasgow subway photography gains retro sci-fi processing.
00:37:44 rikardfvs – Look, Betty (Dark Ambient Remix)
rikardfvs – Look, Betty (Dark Ambient Remix). Sixth Sound for the Soul compilation. Lounge noise, syphilitic exotica and raw ambient gather.

00:51:59 Aleatory Music Systems – Up
Aleatory Music Systems – Up. Porcelain butter dish struck and submerged. Systems music meets chaotic edges. Time, change and movement open. Limited lathe-cut 7-inch exists on Short Cuts.
00:55:42 (EXCLUSIVE) Masefield Labs – On Her Own Quiet Figures remix
Masefield Labs – On Her Own Quiet Figures remix. Second exclusive of the episode. Silent ever-present figures whisper. Quantum foam gratitude cascades to the artists. Percolating electronica opens the cut-off filter.

The visions complete their circle.
The oxide continues its quiet journey until the end of the spool.

Also in the works: the next compilation, Quiet Figures, release date 26 September.
Uncover the narratives whispered by the silent, ever-present figures that shadow us, through compositions that unravel their hidden mysteries.
Does that stir anything?

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 281

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-281/

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 281. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
A quiet, luminous ambient journey through fog, silence, emergence, and dual light.
Side A drifts from museum fog and deep indigo silence into larval longing, early string tones, perpetual candle mornings, and distant postcard transmissions. Side B opens across bonnie banks and underwater echolocation into temple soundscapes, interplanetary stillness, dismal radiance, and mirrored dual forms.
Overall mood: Contemplative, tender, and gently expansive — full of soft emergence, reflective depth, and quiet shared presence. Perfect for deep listening, early mornings, or peaceful solitude.
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.

Subscribers receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.

The tape unspools its visions.


Fog drifts in thick luminous layers across open museum halls. Simon Cacheux – Fog. Field recordings and synthesized tones rise with shakuhachi breath and cymbal resonance. The entire landscape holds the quiet presence of an event already unfolding, the air filled with contemplative motion.

Silence expands through deep indigo space. Euan Alexander Millar-McMeeken & Henrik Meierkord – Silence In The Dark. Cello tones stretch into long translucent ribbons while spoken words dissolve into the surrounding drones. Texture and language move together in measured waves, the whole field opening into reflective presence.

Larval forms glow in soft emerging light. Florigenix – larval longing. Ambient and experimental tones sculpt the open spaces between notes into a melodic tapestry. Shared sonic connections rise in serene sequential layers, each one expanding the quiet field of reflection.

A single tone unfolds across violin and viola strings. Aki Yli-Salomäki & Kreeta-Julia Heikkilä – Liian varhain. Subtle synthesizer textures rise around the layered strings in slow structures. Resonance and timbre move in quiet dialogue, the entire space holding acoustic closeness and gentle emergence.

Perpetual mornings open in soft candle-coloured light. Spirituals – Perpetual Mornings. Pedal steel and acoustic guitars drift with analog and virtual synths, vibraphone, cymbals, percussion, voice memos and field recordings. Each spontaneous composition rises as a glowing candle through the open air.

A postcard arrives carrying distant guitar tones and field-recorded air. Oberlin – Postcard #4. A Fernandes Telecaster voice moves through open landscape sounds recorded in May light, the whole surface expanding in quiet transmission.

The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.


Bonnie banks stretch under soft folk-derived ambient skies. Arboresque – The Bonnie Banks. Traditional ballad imagery opens into new sonic forms. The entire field rises as a tribute landscape of shared creation flowing toward open environmental light.

Echolocation pulses move through dense underwater corridors. Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster – Echolocation. Sonic signals expand in mapping waves, each one revealing new luminous territories of shared presence.

A temple forms in dark sound. boycalledcrow – temple. Heavier beats and dub-inflected soundscapes rise around alien phenomena and personal memory. The entire space opens in immersive motion through grief-shaped and expansive fields.

Interplanetary time stretches across sparse electronic textures. TheAdelaidean – Interplanetary Time (featuring Lauren Jones). E-bow drones and heavily processed ambient recordings carry a passive traveller through prolonged motion. Voices whisper at the edge of consciousness while fractured melodies echo from distant harmonic turns, the whole journey unfolding in layered stillness.

Dismal radiance pours through liminal corridors of flowing memory. Philippe Blache – Through The Dismal Radiance. Meandering immersive textures and high emotional tones open into imaginary territories. The entire headspace expands in careful melancholic repetition and profound sonic depth.

Dual forms rise in mirrored light. Irène Blanc – Dual. Parallel tones move together across open space, each layer expanding the shared field in dual motion.

The visions complete their circle.
The oxide continues its quiet journey until the end of the spool.

Also in the works: the next compilation, Quiet Figures, release date 26 September.

This episode contains some household names like Greg Foat, Jogging House and Sven Wunder. Some friends of the channel like odd person, Henrik Meierkord and The British Stereo Collective, as well as some supporting labels like oscarson, moniker eggplant, ingrown records, whitelabrecs, mahorka and Cyclical Dreams. All the artists and labels are the soul of this show.
