British Columbia – Trevlad Sounds

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 334

Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.

You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.

If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.

The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they 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 three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.

Now. Each of these episodes is a two-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.

A voice returning after the cold months, then fortunes drifting offshore.
Side A stitches the voice back into the static once the winter has stepped aside, marks a path home through ruins on a planet whose stars are crashing, keeps the balance beyond words, dreams the future into the present on a planet of seers, ties the bionic score against the snowsuit and is happy about it, and walks the dream-road to a city that lives only in sleep. Side B lets the corridors forget the year while still holding the echo, keeps the smallest particle that binds a universe, holds the question of consciousness with arms still raised, draws one line from an unknown source enough to hold the page, lets animals arrive politely from the sky, and drops the coins still turning into water already waiting.
Overall mood: Mythic, and quietly open — full of detuned lullabies, unfinished questions, and roads that still accept entries. Perfect for dusk listening, silent rooms, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a voice returning after the cold months, a path home through ruins, balance beyond words, dreams on a planet of seers, a bionic man in a snowsuit, a road to a city that lives in dreams.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 299

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-299/

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 tender, slightly grieving ambient journey through vanished names, still ponds, and conversations that continue after the person is gone.
Side A opens in collage-and-destroy rooms, then yearns through silent ways, burning homes written after a passing, an orange offered from a train window, stars over a city pond, and a mourning routine kept warm by analogue hands. Side B arrives with supermassive wasps and Neptune’s thirst, then integrates toward stillness, sits dans le noir, still talks about you in Padova cassette light, and ends in blue laundry-line wind.
Overall mood: Contemplative, intimate, and quietly elegiac — full of residual warmth, small awakenings, and light that keeps talking after the leaf has not yet fallen. Perfect for dusk listening, remembrance, or sitting still with what remains.

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.

00:01:18 Enofa – The Girl With the Amazing […]
Imogen Hayley Baker composes, produces, collages and destroys across 2024 to 2026. Please dispose of responsibly.
00:06:00 Halftribe – Yearn
Ryan Bissett’s Disappear in Silent Ways follows Elegant, Golden. Immersive so-longs settle on Dronarivm vinyl and CD.
00:07:41 (EXCLUSIVE) Fallen – Homes are Burning
Exclusive for this episode. Lorenzo Bracaloni’s double album lands 11 September on Touched Music. Piano, organ, guitars, bass, voice and field recordings. Written after Árni Grétar’s passing.
00:12:06 Ryu Oshi – Nothing Swaying in the Wind
An orange leaves a train window as offering to the Cityfield. Electric piano and synthesizer duets. Proceeds travel to local libraries.
00:15:28 W L C – Stars Over Pond
Lake Effect compilation. Ambient Afternoon community gathers city-shaped tones. Daniel Field produces. Chad Skinner masters.
00:17:45 Six Missing – Mourning Routine
Vintage analogue synths and guitars keep warmth and human touch. Arrangements breathe beside late nights and smaller details.

The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.

00:20:49 Nick May – Supermassive Wasps
Deliberate limits: phone apps, specific hardware. Otherworldly palette after the organic Places album.
00:23:26 Dark Fidelity Hi Fi – Neptunes Thirst
Keys, pads and crystalline percussion. Love, memories and acceptance glow in Rick Jones’s correspondent light.
00:24:23 survey channel – The Integration

00:26:51 Matthias Puech – Dans le noir
Connection compilation from France. Ambient and experimental tones weave the spaces between notes.
00:30:58 hershel – We still talk about you
Luciano Masala’s silent steps near Padova. Processed guitars, piano and cassette recordings blur into fluid forms. Small steps of awakening.
00:37:29 Hiroaki Yamamoto – Blue
Sheets and shirts become an alphabet. Wind writes waiting. A leaf has not decided where to fall. Night threads keep the day’s warmth.

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 285

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-285/

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 285. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.

The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,115 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.
A grounded yet otherworldly ambient journey through suburban roots, dissolving melodies, secret stones, and unravelled dreams.
Side A takes root in overlooked verges and massive voltage, then unfolds along early analogue paths, melting gestures, nights of silver tears, and Leeds-cloud haze. Side B opens into celestial mediumship and the hidden life of stones, then moves through whispering figures, closed-eye warmth, Lovecraftian walking, and a dream seen that day.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly melancholic, and richly textured — blending organic observation, analogue warmth, and quiet mystery. Perfect for deep listening, late-night walks, or sitting still while the world slowly unravels.
The tape unspools its visions.

Side A

00:03:28 ambalek – Roots
Overlooked suburban corners reveal themselves in slow photographic light. ambalek – Roots. Nature’s small moments gather among fences and quiet verges, each observation taking root in soft organic colour.
00:07:43 Baldocaster & Prog Mountain – Massive Dynamic
Massive shapes pulse with dynamic voltage. Baldocaster & Prog Mountain – Massive Dynamic. Sonic architecture rises in heavy luminous blocks that shift and reassemble under their own gravity.
00:09:38 Analogue Path – Post Rock 001
Early exploratory paths open across analogue ground. Analogue Path – Post Rock 001. Guitar tones and evolving textures mark the first stretches of a long road still unfolding ahead.
00:13:45 Arbee – Se fondre
Modular snippets of melody dissolve into one another. Arbee – Se fondre. Unnoticed actions and quiet gestures texture the air. Details surface at their own pace, inviting deep immersion.
00:16:15 TREVØR – Night of a Thousand Tears
A thousand tears fall through night-coloured air. TREVØR – Night of a Thousand Tears. Each drop catches and releases light, turning sorrow into a rain of silver points.
00:24:07 Adel Music Club – Melt the Clouds
Leeds jams from the early nineties melt the clouds above. Adel Music Club – Melt the Clouds. Assorted tunes recorded in various rooms rise through a photographic slide bought at the outdoor market, the sky itself softening into warm analogue haze.

The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.

Side B

00:25:19 Aglaia – Mediumship
Celestial altitudes open in peaceful hypnotic currents. Aglaia – Mediumship. Processed acoustic instruments and subtle electronics weave a mysterious mandala. Consciousness flies through boundless spaces, receiving rather than transmitting, as sponges, anemones and particle clouds dominate the descent.
00:41:32 Walt Shaw – The secret life of stones
Stones keep their secret life among constructed percussion. Walt Shaw – The secret life of stones. Pebbles roll inside bowls and cans. Gongs, springs, saw blades, glass and metal plates vibrate under contact microphones. Accidents become rich textures, blood wiped away, the unexpected harnessed into drones and decay.
00:45:33 Cries from the LTN – Caggy’s Jam
Silent figures whisper through Caggy’s jam. Cries from the LTN – Caggy’s Jam. Hidden mysteries unravel in the compositions that shadow us, each narrative rising from the Quiet Figures still gathering.
00:56:12 Six Missing – Eyes Closed
Eyes close while vintage analogue warmth holds the listener. Six Missing – Eyes Closed. Synths and guitars chosen for heart and human touch accompany late nights, travel and smaller details. One self passes into another in quiet accepted motion.
00:58:50 Almost Random – I walk whilst the world Unravelled
The world unravels while a walker moves through Lovecraftian mists. Almost Random – I walk whilst the world Unravelled. Celephais docks give way to Kingsport fog and forgotten cities in eastern sands. Eurorack voices lead the procession under a lecturer’s gaze.
01:03:29 Silentwave – The dream I saw that day
A dream seen that day returns as improvised drone. Silentwave – The dream I saw that day. Soft luminous layers drift in open oneiric space.

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

This has been The Virtual Cassette Library, episode 285.
Travel safely between the tracks.
I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 258

On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Queens, New York based Chris Moore aka Light Vortex with the sound art track “Awash In A Sea Of Color” from the album “Aurora In Georgian Bay” out on Mortality Tables.
My friend of the channel Matthew Davies aka Vic Mars with the Chilled piece we all need right now “Winter II” from his collection of must have tracks “From Different Landscapes”.
A beat driven piece by Paris, France based Stephane Laporte aka Domotic from his amazing 36 track album which I’ve been playing a lot recently “Fourrure Sounds Vol. 3 to 6” out on Virtual Cassette supporting label Astra Solaria Recordings.
Then Canadian artist Grant Gard, who records as landtitles with the clarinet infused track “staring at the clouds” from the album “geographic beings, phosphorus mountains” out on whitelabrecs.
After that Tucson, Arizona based Kirk Markarian aka Neuro… No Neuro with the ambient swelling track “You Wasted Your Time” from the album “MemLoss” out on the Sheffield based Audiobulb label.
Then from the latest Cyclical Dreams label release comes the wonderfully stereo panned piece “The Light That Returns” by Adam Filip from the album “The Returning Circle”.
Ending the A side is Michael Plaster aka yttriphie with the Boards of Canada tinged “A Narrow Field of View” from the album “Solipsis” out on Projekt Records.
Starting off Side B is the inspiration for this episode and one of those bands that are instantly recognisable and just a good mood pill in general. They are of course Polly Hulse and Jez Butler collectively known as The Twelve Hour Foundation. With a track from their latest release “Expanded & Repurposed” with the track “Habitat 67” featuring the brilliant Alan Gubby of Buried Treasure / Revbjelde fame adding vibraphone to this classic.
This flows into Brutalist architecture inspired “Rozzol Melara [Triest]” by Fredy Engel aka MiDi BiTCH from another Cyclical Dreams release titled “Habitat”.
Then the penultimate piece for today comes in the form of another favourite artist from the past few years Cate Francesca Brooks and the hypnotic piece “Secure Environments Ltd” from the album “For Your Security”.
And finishing us off is the 18 minute 25 second piece “Untitled 1 [a,b,c,d,e]” by The Projectionist from the rather special label The Dream Journal Institute whose artists don’t seem to actually exist yet they are not AI. This track would have ended up on an episode of Expansive Waves but I’m not doing them any more as they just aren’t worth it. Too much time equals too few listeners.
But setting the vibe for all of this is Portsmouth based legend Keith Seatman with his track “A Posh Hat and Timepiece” from the album “Counting To Ten Then Back Again” out on Castles In Space.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 257

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Apologies for the sound quality today. I’m on holidays and find it hard to hard to get a spot quiet enough to record. Anyway…
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 257. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps.
A mystical, elemental, and introspective ambient journey through light, water, time, and deep space.
Side A moves from beacon magic and burning waters into glade mornings, rising energy, and druidic sacredness. Side B rolls through time carpets, anchoring resilience, ocean overlooks, deeper dreams, and reduced space walks.
Overall mood: Contemplative, wondrous, and atmospheric with a strong sense of vastness and quiet power. Perfect for deep listening, nature connection, or late-night immersion.
I’ve gone back to doing more podcast like episodes but I’ll do all the talking now as I put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. There is just one break halfway through to give the “virtual cassette” meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my too few subscribers who get to enjoy the 257 episodes plus the 819 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for €3 anymore. It used to be a coffee.
Episode 257 is based on an exclusive soothing drone track “arc gap” by Tallinn, Estonia based “Paul Beaudoin” from the release “signal loss” coming out on Dragon’s Eye Recordings on the 10th of July.
On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Italian artist M. Beckmann aka The Volume Settings Folder with his improvised stylings from a release on the one of a kind ambient whitelabrecs label.

My Greek mate Substak with a lesson in field recordings from a Sounds for the Soul Records compilation.
The only beat driven track of the show from Belgian artist Felix Machtelinckx on celebration of the rising sun with Subexotic Records
Finishing the A side is a track from an album based on Risorgimento period samples clipped by Michele Andreotti out on Lᴏɴᴛᴀɴᴏ Series.
Side B gives us inner and out space exploration from Oregon based Modular Synth artist Bart Hawkins.
A meditative soundscape from Melbourne based friend Willebrant who’s sneaked into the mix twice.
Then after the inspired Paul Beaudoin track we drift into a legend of the scene and one I’ve never been able to make contact with. Lee Anthony Norris, here as one of his many alter egos Moss Garden It’s available on lots of places including Fantasy Enhancing, Neotantra and NATURE BLISS.
Penultimately from Trittau, Germany is Christian Fiesel with a release on Cyclical Dreams.
Ending the show is the drone collaboration of Sunil Kumar Sharma aka Suseti and Karl Willebrant again with a Willebrant self release from last year.
But Starting us off Rotterdam based artist Ard Bit is searching for a connection beyond the surface with the track “Fanal Magic” from the album “Juxtaposed”. Out on the Dutch Drunarium sub label Derde. Enjoy…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 222

Beginning Future Empathy

Based on the track “Somewhere Right Now In The Future” from the album “Inferno” by “Boards of Canada”.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A gentle, introspective, and emotionally nuanced ambient journey with touches of melancholy and warmth.
Side A moves from delicate, fragile beauty and shimmering guitar textures into dreamy Balearic atmospheres, dark cyclical tension, and quiet personal reflection. Side B shifts between urban solitude, sparse haunting moments, and organic warmth before landing on pastoral serenity and nostalgic analogue haze.
Overall mood: Melancholic yet comforting, dreamy, and subtly nostalgic. It feels intimate and emotionally honest — like late-afternoon light turning into twilight. Perfect for reflective listening, quiet evenings, or focused deep immersion.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.

Also shoutouts to Waxing Crescent Records, DRONARIVM, Third Kind Records, Woodford Halse and Clay Pipe Music for sponsoring the channel with material.
This episode puts the acoustic guitar in focus.
A warm, nostalgic, and gently psychedelic ambient journey blending sun-drenched summer haze, intimate minimalism, and wistful hauntology.

Slowly building layers create a sense of quiet ascension and hopeful emergence.

Good day to you listeners, wherever you are. This is Trevor.
Welcome once again to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set itself. This episode titled Evening Embers Rise is based on the track Rise by The Peace Race, from the album Shelter, which comes out on July 1 via the fantastic Mortality Tables label. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. If you can subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help.

Humid, atmospheric ambient capturing the quiet tension and relief of a monsoon night. Warm drones, subtle rain-like textures, and gentle nostalgia blend into a reflective mood.

00:46:28 Oora – Un Giorno
Flowing, windswept ambient from Vento (“Wind”). Light, breathy textures and organic movement evoke a single day carried on gentle breezes—ethereal and meditative.

00:51:15 Omni Gardens & Zen Monk Jogen – Lifestyle Slow Motion
Laid-back, meditative ambient with slow-evolving tones and a peaceful, almost playful serenity. Perfect “meditation tonality” that invites deep relaxation.

01:10:26 The Peace Race – Rise
Uplifting yet restrained ambient/drone work. Slowly building layers create a sense of quiet ascension and hopeful emergence.

01:13:17 Stray Wool – Skins
Textural, intimate ambient focused on organic layers and subtle shifts. Feels raw and vulnerable, like shedding old layers in sound form.

01:15:46 Volker Rapp – Out of my Mind
Synth-driven, cinematic ambient with a futuristic, slightly dystopian edge (from a Blade Runner 2099 tribute). Immersive and atmospheric.

01:16:25 Richard Norris – Grains Of Light
Delicate, shimmering ambient from the Deep Listening series. Tiny grains of glowing sound accumulate into a beautiful, meditative whole—precise and luminous.

01:18:36 Émérance – Dans une telle immobilité
Still, contemplative ambient exploring deep immobility. Sparse, resonant tones create a profound sense of presence and quiet suspension.

01:26:59 Loopatronica – Helen Of Four Gates part 1
Long-form, evolving drone/ambient with hypnotic, looping structures. Mythic and immersive, it slowly unfolds like an ancient, unfolding ritual.
01:56:25 Luke Sanger – Snow In Spring
https://lukesanger.bandcamp.com/track/snow-in-spring
Delicate, wintry ambient with soft melodic touches. Evokes the surprise and beauty of unexpected snow during warmer days—gentle and bittersweet.

01:59:38 Minimal_drone grl – At the Edge
Sparse, edge-of-perception drone work. Minimal textures hover at the boundary of sound and silence, creating tension and deep focus.

Quiet Unseen Days

Calm, delicate, dreamy, warm, subtle, textural, flowing, pastoral, sparse, soft and minimal.

Good evening… or good morning, wherever you are. This is Trevor.
Welcome once again to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set itself. This episode titled Quiet Unseen Days is based on the tracks Distant Days and Molten Days by the amazing artist and whitelabrecs. label curator Harry Towell here in the guise of Spheruleus. They’re from the album The Lost Catalogue , which comes out on May 16 2026. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. If you can subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help.
Right then… here we go.

00:00:00 Clariloops – Quiet Current
A gentle, flowing ambient piece built around soft currents of tone and subtle field recordings. It evokes a calm, submerged drift—peaceful and meditative, like listening to water moving just beneath the surface.
00:04:56 NOUVELLES LECTURES COSMOPOLITES – Petite ronde nocturne pour rongeurs du désert
A whimsical nocturnal miniature for “desert rodents.” Delicate, circling melodies and intimate textures create a playful yet mysterious night-time vignette in the artist’s characteristic neo-classical/electro-acoustic style.
00:07:07 Gollden – destiny #10
Dreamy, drifting ambient with hazy pads and gentle melodic fragments. Part of a larger “Destiny” series, it feels introspective and slightly nostalgic, like wandering through half-remembered emotional landscapes.
00:09:23 Loneward – Cedar’s Grace
Warm, cinematic ambient bathed in graceful, evergreen resonance. Slow-evolving chords and organic textures convey a sense of quiet majesty and natural serenity.
00:12:48 loscil – Lux
Subtle, luminous ambient from Scott Morgan. Crystalline tones and deep, resonant layers create a glowing, introspective atmosphere full of light and shadow.
00:16:52 JARR – Resindot
Textural ambient with sticky, resinous drones and microscopic detail. It feels organic and slightly viscous, like observing slow chemical or botanical processes in sound.
00:21:56 Spheruleus – Molten Days
From the reflective “The Lost Catalogue,” this track layers warm, flowing textures with a sense of liquid heat and memory. Intimate field recordings meet glowing drones in a hazy, molten haze.
00:25:14 Plank & Ishq – ErDunus Pasties
Quirky, pastoral-tinged ambient/electronic excursion. Playful yet atmospheric, blending organic elements with curious, otherworldly flourishes.
00:43:31 Allmanna Town – Sample 30 [Beatless Version]
Beatless ambient drift built from sampled fragments. Sparse, looping textures create a hypnotic, suspended mood—minimal and immersive.
00:44:38 Ann Annie – the ocean
Gentle, watery ambient evoking vast open seas. Soft swells, distant horizons, and intimate closeness blend into a deeply calming, oceanic meditation.
00:46:19 Spheruleus – Distant Days
Another piece from “The Lost Catalogue.” Faded, nostalgic textures and far-off resonances paint pictures of memory receding into time.
00:51:33 ff8282 – doir
Minimal, glitch-tinged ambient with crisp, abstract sonics. Cool and precise, it feels like fragmented digital memories or quiet code poetry.
01:05:04 Michael Valentine West – unseen footage
Haunting, cinematic ambient suggesting lost or hidden recordings. Dusty textures and shadowy atmospheres create a voyeuristic, melancholic feel.
01:13:36 Sitting & Laying – Day One. Sitting In My Parents’ Backyard Looking Out
Intimate, reflective field-recording-based piece. Everyday backyard sounds are framed in contemplative ambient stillness, evoking memory, place, and quiet observation.

Cleaning Warm Fruits

Gentle, intimate, reflective, precise, immersive, ethereal, delicate, organic, mystical, moody, restrained, melancholic and nostalgic.

00:01:00 CLAIR, Jude Rogers – Love
Spoken-word house piece with Jude Rogers reciting intimate lines over warm, inviting grooves. Gentle, danceable, and thoughtfully human.
00:06:30 idiiom – Real Sad
Experimental vocal electronics blending processed voice, technology, and emotion. Intimate, textural, and quietly haunting.
00:10:38 Hverheij – The Pain Inside
Atmospheric, introspective soundscaping with emotional depth. Reflective and cinematic, evoking inner landscapes.
00:14:15 Neuro… No Neuro – Cleaning is Key
Abstract electronic minimalism with glitchy, hypnotic patterns. Precise, arid, and subtly unsettling.
00:15:20 Future Children – A glimpse of the sea
Dreamy, disorganized ambient drift with watery textures and loose, exploratory feel. Immersive and slightly unmoored.
00:17:20 Hildegard von Bingen, Micah Frank, Chet Doxas – O Vis Eternitatis – Kodomo Remix
Modern ambient reinterpretation of medieval chant. Ethereal, spacious, and reverent with subtle electronic warmth.
00:21:15 Ümlaut – Because you are alive
Contemplative experimental composition focused on presence and silence. Delicate, thoughtful, and quietly uplifting.
00:35:55 Martin Archer & Claire McAllister – Fruits In All Directions
Free-jazz/electronic hybrid with playful, colourful improvisation. Organic, inventive, and joyfully directionless.
00:38:25 Moray Newlands – (Put me in) the red red earth
Earthy, ritualistic ambient folk with rich, grounded textures. Mystical and deeply rooted.
00:45:23 Lying Cat – Hanbreya
Weirdly beautiful electronic with occult-tinged atmosphere. Moody, textured, and intriguingly off-kilter.
00:50:10 Elinch – grau03
Minimal, grey-hued synthesizer study. Restrained, atmospheric, and patiently hypnotic.
00:51:45 Joseph Shabason – Parks & Demos
Warm, jazzy ambient with saxophone-led introspection. Melancholic, nostalgic, and beautifully blurred.
00:55:25 Miguel Otero & Raquel Pavón – Too warm for the yellow butterflies
Gentle, summery acoustic/electronic piece. Intimate, hazy, and delicately evocative.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 193

17 April 2026

///product.subsets.weekends

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-three.

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.

We’re bunching it today — three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.

This episode is broadcasting from The Londoner pub in Stockholm with the coordinates ///product.subsets.weekends.

#

Starting us off: a shimmering remix from Loopatronica, a brief suspended moment from Hi-Field, and Virtually J stepping out of the shadows with something quietly unsettling.
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.

#

Next we drift into Darryl Wakelin’s Swimming Lesson in a playful library daydream, Loula Yorke and Charlotte Jolly weaving something ancient and watery, and James Osland reminding us how everything starts from almost nothing.

#

Now the air gets heavier and more fragile: Sleep Chrysalis letting dreams fade, Scholars of the Peak dredging up sparkles from the deep, and Clariloops opening something very gently.

#

We cross into field recordings and memory: Ana Habesh calling from Vanuatu, Then we flip the virtual cassette and find willowlaun dropping the ultimate New Zealand ambient pop moment, and Hverheij stepping into the realm of outside possibilities.

#

Sunlight, crystals, and liquid spaces now: Miguel Otero & Raquel Pavón speaking with the light, Arcane Trickster in crystalline suspension, and Scav building a living terrarium.

#

Loops, snow, and southern flavours: petr drkula spinning prime loops, Trevlad wandering through bank snow turkeys, and Saïph serving Marseille au riz.

#

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, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.

For the final stretch we stay with Mahorka and a couple of great tracks that didn’t quite fit in my Planck Tone sessions but fit nicely here: Mloski – Shaper Mloski bending the waveform like it owed him money… beautiful. followed by nfc – ddopl whispering the last word in a language the machines haven’t learned yet. From Mahorka’s very first release Music for Elevators Vol. 1 way back in 2004.

That’s the whole set.
You’ve been listening to… well, everything.

See you in the next crack in the wall.

Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 187

23 March 2026

///grinning.cheek.traffic

(Loch Ness pub in Stockholm where the beer tastes like regret and possibility in equal measure)

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 back, or maybe welcome for the first time, to the slowest-growing show on the internet. or off it. whatever.
this is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-eight-seven.
we’re still calling it a virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous, but let’s be honest—it’s just me in a room full of blinking lights and dying batteries, trying to convince the void that independent music still matters.
twenty artists. no schedule. drops when the mood hits, which is usually when normal people are asleep.
the three-word subtitles? they’re What3Words locations that mean something to me. personal little coordinates. this one’s grinning.cheek.traffic. Stockholm pub. good beer, better stories you forget by morning.
If you want in—send weird files, codes, confessions, whatever—to trevlad@gmail.com.
labels getting the slow nod tonight: Moolakii Club Audio Interface, Castles In Space, Adventurous Music, Bricolage, Audiobulb, Ingrown Records, i u we records, Noray Records… the usual suspects haunting the margins.
styles? liminal ambient, hauntronica, post-disco, whatever falls between the cracks. places on the map: Québec, Prague, Pereira. the world’s getting smaller, but the weird corners are still there.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. that song that ruined or saved you. record it yourself or I’ll read it in my sleep-voice and play the track. win-win-win.
also doing Trev Tales now—stories woven into the sets. like this is one long dream you’re not sure you want to wake up from.
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.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 186

21 March 2026

///worker.buffoon.exact

(Fasching Stockholm)

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Welcome to Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, Episode 186, your virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. As per usual we’ll dive into 20 artists. All the shows have three word subtitles for places that have some meaning for me personally. These are also used as names for the background music in show intros and outros. This episodes’ subtitle is Worker Buffoon Exact which is the entrance to Stockholms legendary jazz club Fasching.
If you’d like to be featured on the slowest growing show on the internet then send files or codes to trevlad@gmail.com
This episode has a couple of exclusive tracks at the time of recording from Salamanda and Haiku Salut together with Meg Morley.
Some of the labels that need an honourable mention are whitelabrecs, Mystery Circles, Mahorka, Cyclical Dreams and Lo Recordings to name a few.
Styles featured include electronica, ambient, minimal, space music and more.
Places worth mentioning are Bütgenbach, Belgium, Saint Petersburg, Russia, Seoul, South Korea, and Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Please do send in your stories for the Chord Confessions series about a piece of music that has been pivotal in your life. You can record it yourself or I can tell it for you while promoting you and playing the most important music on the planet. A win, win, win concept. I’ve also started Trev Tales a new idea of mixing story telling with DJ sets where I do a story based on the tracks in the set.
