Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 179
23 February 2026

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 179. I’m Trevor — your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
A sonic 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.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
A quick shout out to the new followers Mitxoda a Belgian based independent music project, Solar Eclipse who does massively popular techno sets. Carlostanos a Derbyshire beats and HipHop DJ. and Nick May who has just started a Mixcloud project called The Cinematic Ambient Chillout Show, which is exactly what it is and it’s great. Cheers guys.
We float tonight through pools of ambient electronic, modular wanderings, synthwave echoes, some cosmic angles, Modern classical inflections, drone undertows, and the odd burst of contemporary jazz. Labels flicker such as: Moolakii Club Audio Interface, Guruguru Records, whitelabrecs, and Third kind Records just to name a few. Places scattered from Craigavon to Baltimore, Portland to Marseille.
The longest stretch in the selection comes from Willebrant. His track clocking in at 11 and a half minutes. The shortest by dogs versus shadows snaps past in a flash.
We start off with a piece from TVCL 09 by me, called Decay Cars Suffice which is a What3Words coordination to a spot in the backyard of a flat in Dublin where I spent my teens. The album compiles 16 tracks of surreal ambient electronics drawn from episodes 157–171 of my Virtual Cassette Library series, delivering hypnotic drift of genre-bending textures for introspective listening.
That was me under my alter ego / childhood nickname Trevlad and the track, Decay Cars Suffice.
Next from the album Harvard Sentences 5 by Moray Newlands which got my album of the day recently, transforms ten classic phonetically balanced test sentences from the 1940s Harvard Sentences list into concise, two-minute pentatonic piano sketches, each built from just five notes and five looping patterns with subtle effects for a minimalist, meditative charm. The result is a quietly intriguing and elegant series of pieces that blend the surreal neutrality of standardized speech phrases with gentle, repetitive piano elegance, creating a hypnotic and rewarding listen ideal for focused contemplation or background serenity.
I’ve chosen the track A king ruled the state in the early days.
That was Moray Newlands with A king ruled the state in the early days.
Now, All Roads Lead to Polesworth by Imogen Baker also known as Enofa is a vibrant 15-track journey through gently psychedelic futurism, blending half-remembered 90s ecstasy clubland euphoria with retrofuturist electronic pulses, hi-NRG rhythms, and effortless melodies that feel like a rediscovered mixtape drifting through a lucid dream. From fervent acid-tinged dancefloor anthems to chillaxed ambient comedowns, the album weaves an eclectic yet cohesive tapestry of IDM, ambient house, and experimental textures, highlighted by quirky titles and a nostalgic yet forward-looking energy that’s both invigorating and deeply immersive. Out on Third Kind Records
Here is the opening track Anti-Entropic Chamber
That was Enofa with Anti-Entropic Chamber
Next a new track yet a dive into my musical past. In my teens my Dad and I would go to Jazz clubs in Dublin and this next piece is the kind of jazz we bonded over. The kind of jazz that deserved a pint. Anyway The Description Is Not The Described by Nathaniel Cross is a soulful four-track debut EP that fuses sophisticated contemporary jazz arranging with vibrant threads of bruk, calypso, dancehall, neo-soul, hip hop, gospel, afro-cuban, and West African influences, drawing deeply from his British-Caribbean roots to create an instrumental sound that’s both groove-rich and emotionally resonant. Tracks like the grief-tinged “Goodbye For Now” and uplifting “Light In The Darkness” showcase terrific horn writing, lovely solos, and a warm collective energy, delivering a thoughtful exploration of loss, resilience, positivity, and inner validation beneath the Krishnamurti-inspired title’s reminder that labels can never capture true essence. Out on First Word Records
This is the opener Goodbye For Now
That was Nathaniel Cross – Goodbye For Now
Next from one of the labels that has been supporting this channel with releases for years, the always outstanding Woodford Halse. Errata by John Haughey & Tarotplane is the latest offering on the label. A captivating 9-track collaboration of kosmische-leaning ambient electronics, weaving lush synths, keys, guitars, and bass into expansive, drifting soundscapes that evoke weightless drift, spiraling echoes, and a gentle promise of transcendence amid cold introspection. Tracks like the title piece, “Pulling the Cosmos Closer,” and “Begetting Green” build hypnotic layers of delay-drenched textures and rhythmic subtlety, blending Baltimore’s Tarotplane guitar-infused cosmic pulses with John’s Northern Irish electronic warmth for an immersive, otherworldly listen that’s both meditative and quietly radiant—perfect for surrendering to loops of light and space.
This is the track Impossible Vistas
That was John Haughey & Tarotplane – Impossible Vistas
Now. Who’s To Say? by Thought Bubble (Chris Cordwell, Peter Gelf, and Nick Raybould) is a beguiling 7-track electro-psych adventure that fuses electronica, analogue percussion, and sharp songwriting into expansive, genre-stretching soundscapes, evoking the heady psychedelic sprawl of early ’70s cosmic rock while staying firmly anchored in contemporary themes of fractured reality, media distortion, and surreal resilience. With tracks like the luminous “Let The Light,” satirical “Your Call,” and mind-bending “Lightfoot” / “A Man Split In Two” delivering out-there yet alluring grooves, lyrical depth, and a seamless blend of electronics with live instrumentation, the album emerges as an irresistibly immersive and thought-provoking listen that’s both nostalgic in its expansiveness and strikingly present in its edge.
I give you Let The Light by Thought Bubble out on Moolakii Club Audio Interface
That was Thought Bubble with Let The Light
Next Soft Shakes by Go Kurosawa marks his captivating first solo album, a self-produced, instinct-driven collection of 8 tracks where the ex-Kikagaku Moyo drummer/vocalist plays every instrument—from motorik pulses and Kraftwerkian synths to acoustic loops, gentle vocals (in English and Japanese), marimba, trumpet, and more—in a playful, subconscious jam-session spirit that bridges East-West, electronic, and organic textures. From the luminous, Suicide-like opener “moon, please” through the lush, building “green thing,” rhythmic “autowalk,” and breezy closer “cloud rock,” the album unfolds as a loose, alive sketchbook of surprising, layered grooves and emotional warmth, evoking psychedelic minimalism, ambient drifts, and ritualistic joy that’s both introspective and irresistibly danceable in solitude— a fresh, “WOW”-inducing gem of personal freedom post-band life. Out on Guruguru Brain
I give you the track sada no umi.
That was Go Kurosawa* with sada no umi
Next, a regular of the show. Willebrant. The Knight Seas (the ambient field drone project of Naarm/Melbourne bassist and producer Karl Willebrant) is a deeply somnolent 5-track collection of slowed + reverb reworkings from his 2020 release A Knight on a Boat plus a reimagined “A Night Crossing,” transforming original bass, synth, ebow guitar, and electronic elements into vast, hazy drone-ambient expanses tagged with dark ambient, minimalist, meditation, and soundscape vibes. Tracks like the epic 16-minute “The Valiant at Arms (slowed and reverb)” and the oceanic “A Knight on a Boat (slowed and reverb)” evoke knightly voyages across misty seas through layered, echoing textures and gentle drift, creating an atmospheric, introspective immersion that’s profoundly calming, subtly melancholic, and ideal for late-night contemplation or dreamlike surrender.
This is Willebrant – The Gathered Few (Lakeside Fire Mix – slowed and reverb)
That was The Gathered Few (Lakeside Fire Mix – slowed and reverb) by Willebrant
Now Dramatis Personae by Saïph (aka Pablo Diarra) is a poetic six-track digital LP released December 1, 2025, on Songe Anima Records, clocking in at around 29 minutes of introspective, surreal soundscapes that blend aquatic dream logic, nostalgic drifts, and minimalist electronic textures across pieces like the title track, multi-part “Psyché du figurant” variations, and the wistful “Nostalgia.” With French-titled evocations of submerged landscapes, trout-spirited guidance, and offerings to tomorrow’s scouts—paired with high-fidelity 24-bit mastering by Neel/Enisslab and artwork by William Jones—the album unfolds as a hushed, enigmatic meditation on inner roles, silence, and submerged revelation, perfect for deep-listening immersion in twilight reverie or quiet self-exploration.
This is Dramatis personae – Saïph
That was Saïph with Dramatis personae
Next Andromeda [CYD 0148] by Christian Wittman is a majestic 10-track space ambient voyage released January 2, on Cyclical Dreams, featuring Berlin School-inspired electronics, deep drones, and cosmic sound design that conjure vast interstellar voids, static-tinged shadows, and eternal whispers of forgotten galaxies through tracks named after stars, constellations, and nebulae like “Upsilon Persei,” “Mirach,” and “Blue Snowball Nebula.” Clocking in at over 54 minutes of timeless, expanding atmospheres—recorded in Paris across late 2024—the album masterfully evokes a sense of infinite drift and subtle darkness, where every tone feels like a dying signal flickering in the black between stars, delivering an immersive, meditative experience of profound depth and quiet grandeur ideal for stargazing contemplation or late-night cosmic surrender.
This is Upsilon Persei by Christian Wittman
That was Christian Wittman with Upsilon Persei.
Now to end the first half from Sven Laux.
Shades is a meticulously curated compilation marking Whitelabrecs’ 10-year anniversary, curated by label founder Harry Towell and pressed on striking green vinyl, serving as both a celebratory snapshot and conceptual milestone that traces the label’s evolution from handmade CDr beginnings to refined ambient artistry. Spanning deep drones, fractured tape loops, synth-clarinet interplay, and electro-acoustic sprawls on Side A before shifting to enveloping modern classical strings, atmospheric piano, trombone, and radio-tinged closers on Side B—featuring contributions from Low Altitude, blochemy, Clariloops, Andrew Heath, Sven Laux, Adrian Lane, Gustav Davidsson, and Glåsbird—the album weaves a cohesive tapestry of tonal contrast, quiet escapism, and immersive beauty that’s meditative, textural, and profoundly evocative of the label’s signature serene yet expansive soundworld.
This is When Rain Didn’t Come by Sven Laux
Opening side B. Electronic Phantoms by maya ongaku is the Fujisawa, Japan-based trio’s vibrant second EP (following their 2023 debut Approach to Anima), a six-track collection released in 2024, that channels live-jam energy from extensive touring into dancefloor-ready grooves blending synths, drum machines, fluid guitars, ethereal woodwinds, and organic percussion like maracas and flute. Tracks such as the hypnotic opener “Iyo no Hito,” driving “Anoyo Drive,” tender “Love with Phantom,” and the multi-part meditative “Meiso Ongaku” series explore human-machine symbiosis amid AI-era phantoms—fusing krautrock pulses, psychedelic warmth, and subtle unease into an uplifting, body-moving sound that’s both spiritually reflective and irresistibly rhythmic, perfectly capturing the band’s desire to make listeners dance while jamming in harmony with electronic “phantoms.”
This is the track Anoyo Drive by maya ongaku available on the Guruguru Brain label.
That was maya ongaku with Anoyo Drive
Hollow Headaches by dogs versus shadows aka Lee Pylon is a concise 16-track collection of experimental lo-fi hip hop and 90s-influenced electronica released August, 2024, on Third Kind Records, shifting from his earlier dark radiophonic hauntings to a unified set of beat workouts and atmospheric soundscapes that evoke the quiet magic of British urban liminality—night buses, empty sidings, wet subways, and forgotten corners. Short, evocative pieces like “Sprawlopoly,” “Back Of The Bins,” “Rizla Brollie,” and the title track conjure colourful, everyday grime through lo-fi textures, subtle hauntology nods, and enigmatic grooves, making it an ideal headphone companion for wandering ordinary streets and discovering hidden inspiration in the mundane, with bonus vinyl-mastered side-long mixes adding extra immersion. Out on Third Kind Records.
This is the track The Lovely Eye by dogs versus shadows
That was dogs versus shadows with The Lovely Eye.
I Can Guide You Through the Maze by schalter.exe (released February 13, on Moniker Eggplant) is an 8-track digital EP (~29 minutes) built entirely on the custom OPLoid FM-Synthesizer emulating the iconic OPL2/OPL3 chips of MS-DOS era sound cards, channeling raw, lo-fi FM tones into vivid sonic portraits of fictional computer games—from dense tactical realms and dystopian shadows to humorous, lighthearted excursions. Tracks like “welcome_1.mid,” “Emotional Main Title Theme,” “Skeletons rule the Earth,” and “Maze Corridors” revive the nostalgic charm of 8-bit adventure soundtracks with direct digital grit, experimental IDM/braindance flair, and a uniform yet richly varied palette that blends vaporwave haze, ambient drift, and retro-techno pulses into an immersive, text-parser-evoking journey that’s both playfully retro and intriguingly modern—perfect for late-night nostalgia dives or pixelated daydreams. Available via the Moniker Eggplant label.
This is Skeletons rule the Earth by schalter.exe.
That was schalter.exe with Skeletons rule the Earth
Now Nine Breaths by theAdelaidean (aka Sean Williams, #1 New York Times-bestselling author and award-winning poet) is a serene 10-track ambient/drone/minimalism opus released January 16, on Projekt Records, crafting soft, intricate beds of sustained drones and gently evolving synths to capture fleeting moments of everyday stillness—like dust in sunlight, rain-dancing leaves, or forest birdsong—while drawing conceptual inspiration from haiku’s single-breath brevity to explore profound emotional and visceral shifts in brief spans of time. With tracks ranging from concise meditations like “Loss” and “Spiraling Thought” to the vast, hour-long closer “Horizon,” accompanied by Williams’ own poems, the album creates safe, resonant sonic spaces of layered textures and subtle nuances that invite deep, lingering contemplation of the ordinary’s hidden depths, resulting in a hauntingly beautiful, introspective listen ideal for quiet reflection, late-night unwinding, or falling asleep to its gentle, shimmering embrace.
I give you the track Spiraling Thought by theAdelaidean.
That was theAdelaidean with Spiraling Thought.
Next Subvert Yourself by No Arrival is a six-track EP from 2019 on the Bricolage label, delivering his signature blend of atmospheric rhythmic electronics and fragmented experimental soundscapes through warm melodic pulses, odd time signatures, sputtered bass, staggered percussion, splintered samples, vocal fragments, and organic backdrops that evoke digital disorder with an underground edge. Tracks like “New U,” “Group Flow,” “Play,” and “Universal Echo” create a bold, curious, and subculturally resonant affair—perfect for intelligent dancers seeking shifting directions, subtle unease, and immersive, ever-evolving grooves that feel both intimate and defiantly off-kilter.
This is Play by No Arrival
That was No Arrival with Play
Hey, before we move on, don’t forget to check out my new show Chord Confessions. Real stories, important music, relatable events. Get involved and send in your tales. Now back to the show. the strange night out – a mystical horrorstory EP by rikardfvs (an ambient artist from Uppsala, Sweden) is a concise four-track digital EP released January 9, 2026, on Sounds for the Soul Records, clocking in at roughly 22:40 minutes of evocative, shadowy soundscapes that unfold like a cryptic nocturnal tale through titles—”strange night,” “the kiosk,” “oh the hidden knife,” and “confused afterward”—suggesting an eerie progression from unsettling encounter to lingering disorientation.
This is the track the kiosk by rikardfvs
That was rikardfvs with the kiosk
A Point Blank Dream by The Home Current (Martin Jensen, the prolific Luxembourg-based Danish electronic artist) is a vibrant 14-track return to form—his first full album since 2024’s Tales From The Leisure League—released February 6, on Subexotic Records, bursting with chunky melody lines, bass-driven grooves, trademark twists and turns, and an “inner-city alien gang thriller” conceptual vibe that channels old-school THC energy akin to his early Poly Youth or Static Caravan eras. From punchy openers like “High Priests Of Nothing” and “Chew Unseen” to the evocative title track, the album delivers toe-tapping, grey-matter-tickling electronic excursions full of stylistic range, post-industrial echoes (with nods to Cabaret Voltaire’s fluid period), and playful yet thoughtful production—mastered and artworked by Dan Seville of Subexotic, with sleeve notes by Moonbuilding’s Neil Mason—making it a fresh, invigorating blast of vintage-yet-vital experimental electronica ideal for nocturnal drives or focused headphone immersion.
This is the track Dexter by The Home Current
That was The Home Current with Dexter
Winding down the show now with the penultimate track Sunday by Le Code (Alexandre de Charrin), released back in July, 2023, on Toronto’s Imaginary North label, is a gentle five-track ambient EP (~22 minutes) that captures the languid essence of a restful day through soft, drifting synths, subtle textures, and warm, unhurried atmospheres in pieces like the title track, “Lazy Day,” “Long Morning,” and “Last Quiet Minutes,” plus a dreamy Raphah rework of the latter. Mastered by Chad Skinner with artwork by Mitch Burke, this name-your-price digital release delivers concise, meditative serenity—evoking slow mornings, quiet reflection, and effortless calm—ideal for unwinding, background focus, or savoring the simple beauty of ordinary stillness in pure, imagination-fueled ambient form.
Here’s the title track Sunday by Le Code
That wasLe Code with Sunday
Before we head back to regular life. I’d just like to mention that there is about a Month left to get your entries in for the next compilation I’m putting together called Puzzles of the Psyche Exploring the intricate and enigmatic workings of the human mind, with tracks that delve into the depths of thought, emotion, and imagination. does that trigger a creative thought?
Getting enough subscribers to keep this channel going is frustrating. I’m always one subscriber away from the minimum for a Mixcloud payout. When I get one new subscriber I loose two. A gain two, I loose one. So the compilations are a help. I put in the time and the effort which makes sense but the fact that I still pay to do it doesn’t. So subscribe to the Mixcloud channel you get access to music only versions of the shows before they get released as well as the full back catalogue of 929 shows and mixes or grab a compilation on Bandcamp.
Now back to the show. To end this week Bones by Jogging House (Frankfurt-based ambient artist) is a warm, warbly eight-track collection released February 17, on Seil Records, crafted in single-take recordings straight to 1/4″ tape using a minimal setup of Digitakt II, Korg MS20, Cocoquantus, and other cozy analog gear like Solid Felt, Mood, Meraki, Bim & Bam. Tracks such as “Tourism,” “Janitor,” “Cement,” “Lantern,” “Upwind,” “Parker,” “Thread,” and “Know” unfold as glowing, airy ambient loops that gently waver like tidal drifts, fringed with soft analogue buzz and tape warmth, creating soft, cozy, meditative soundscapes that evoke intimate hardware-filled rooms and spontaneous, in-the-moment serenity—perfect for grounding daily life, quiet reflection, or sinking into lush, dreamy textures with subtle downtempo and lo-fi edges.
I leave you with the track Lantern by Jogging House Thanks for joining us. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 176
04 February 2026

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve managed to carve out for yourself. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode 176. I’m your guide, Trevor.
The cassette sits ready in the deck, labels hand-scribbled, oxide already flaking a bit at the edges. Side A and Side B, twenty artists strung across them like beads on a frayed string. We’ll flip the tape halfway through, that satisfying clunk and hiss, because some things refuse to be digital.
Tonight we drift through ambient drifts, kosmische pulses, drone meditations, a touch of library funk, some psychedelic sprawl, electroacoustic murmurs from places like Bulgaria, the UK, Munich, Buenos Aires, Athens, Rome, Sheffield, Colorado, and a few others that don’t fit neatly on any map. The longest track stretches out patiently, Asha Patera’s – Wandering in the Upside Down from Sounds for the Soul Records, clocking in at just over 11 minutes. Durations aside, none hurry. There’s an exclusive track which open the B side from Moscow artist DEE_KAY and his track Bellcut. But we’ll get to all that in a bit.
Headphones on if you’ve got them. Volume where it feels intimate. Let the kettle whistle if it wants to. The world can wait.
We begin with a January release from the Mahorka label in Bulgaria, a collected volume of drone and teknoiz spanning a decade. Autonomаton offers The UFO project remix—eerie, floating synth washes that suggest something observed from a great height, unhurried and slightly unsettling in the best way. From the album Collected Not Lost 2015-2025 Vol 1: Drone and Teknoiz.
Autonomаton – The UFO project remix.
Next, Mark Ellery Griffiths with Synthi Sequence B. Loops and sequences built on vintage synths, patient repetitions that build quiet architectures. Mark is a regular of my shows and doesn’t get the credit he should. Check out his Bandcamp releases. He’s nudging on 50 and they’re name your price. Synthi Loops Sequences 2025 – Self released back in December.
Mark Ellery Griffiths – Synthi Sequence B.
Danielle Nia now, Longing For Togetherness. Warm, enveloping tones from i u we records, a gentle pull toward connection without ever forcing the issue. Stunning patchwork from the great Connected 3 compilation. Released a couple of weeks back on i u we records.
Danielle Nia – Longing For Togetherness.
Greek artist Substak and his track Apartment Window from Belgian ambient label Daydreamers. A quick view onto quiet streets, field recordings woven into subtle rhythms, the sound of somewhere lived-in and watched over time. From the EP Empty Bench – released not two weeks ago.
Substak – Apartment Window.
A good friend of the channel Asha Patera, Wandering in the Upside Down. Dream-logic drifts and inverted atmospheres from Sounds for the Soul Records, like walking through familiar rooms that have rearranged themselves while you slept. The Vale of Shadows – Sounds for the Soul. Which is a Stranger Things inspired ambient compilation. Also released in January. This is the long haul.
Asha Patera – Wandering in the Upside Down.
Belgian artist Jeroen Lauwers is, Red Stars Over Tokyo with In Trance from self released The Burning Spiral. Pulsing, hypnotic acid tinged layers that suggest endless night drives through neon-lit cities that might not exist. The Burning Spiral. released back in December.
Red Stars Over Tokyo – In Trance.
Southend On Sea artist Adrian Lane, After The Deluge. Post-flood calm, piano and strings emerging from residue, reflective, haunted and sparse. Their Ghosts and Ours – out on Sheffields finest Audiobulb.
Adrian Lane – After The Deluge.
Argentinian artist Puppy Bordiga with mRn, Solarium. Collaborative warmth, sunlit electronics and gentle percussion from Walking the Way III. Self released back in November.
Puppy Bordiga with mRn – Solarium.
ATA Records is a label and I can’t get my head around if they are also a band. They really know their library stuff but on this release and others the artist is simply ATA Records, no credits to the artists which is a shame. Anyway This is Tatsuya, The Sword. Library archive material, cinematic and evocative, with a heartfelt flute. drawn from Vol 4. The Library Archive Vol 4 – ATA Records.
ATA Records – Tatsuya, The Sword.
Tape flip. The mechanism clicks, heads realign, oxide continues its slow decay. Side B.
Coming up the exclusive for episode 176 is by Moscow Marist DEE-KEY now, Bellcut. Sharp, precise cuts through ambient haze from Local Gods. Local Gods. Drops next week in the 12 of February. Remember where you heard it first.
DEE-KEY – Bellcut.
Now from one of the best Italian jazz-funk library albums of the ’70s. Oscar Rocchi’s Genziana. Herbal, pastoral electronics evoking wild flowers and Italian hillsides, from Erbe Selvatiche on Four Flies Vaults which is the digital imprint of Four Flies Records.
Oscar Rocchi – Genziana.
Now to a favourite label and a release from November. Grant Beasley, The Vanishing Point. This is the title track. Horizon-line drones and slow dissolves. Grant Beasley – The Vanishing Point – Cyclical Dreams.
Grant Beasley – The Vanishing Point.
Next filter sweep time. LA artist Good Sunset, Taormina. Which is a hilltop town on the island of Sicily and I bet they have good sunsets there. Sun-drenched, cinematic reveries from Cinema Everything on Mystery Circles.
Good Sunset – Taormina.
And here’s one from me, under Trevlad—EXPANSIVE WAVES 18 (Slipping Precautions Obvious). A previous transmission excerpt, layered and recursive. TVCL 07 – Trevlad.
Trevlad – EXPANSIVE WAVES 18 (Slipping Precautions Obvious).
Next the poppiest piece I’ve played in a good while. Nostalgia 77, You Where In My Dream Last Night. Dream-state jazz inflections, soft and lingering. Love the bass lines and sound. This is the first single from their upcoming EP titled: When The Lights Gone. Which drops on the 1 May on Nostalgia 77’s Bandcamp page.
Nostalgia 77 – You Where In My Dream Last Night.
Next up Guitars and synth with GROSSO GADGETTO, and “the track Once there was only dark”. Apocalyptic soundscapes for a world winding down, from “Soundtrack for a Dying World by Dark Supreme & Grosso Gadgetto”. Sampled voices of Matthew McConaughey & Woody Harrelson.
GROSSO GADGETTO – “Once there was only dark”.
Now get your world music psychedelic slippers on. We’re off to Melbourne Australia. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Flying Microtonal Banana. Microtonal excursions, psychedelic without apology, the shortest in the episode at 2:34 yet packing strange tunings into tight space. From the album of the same fantastic name. Released on the Heavenly Recordings label about a year ago.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Flying Microtonal Banana.
Now back to 2021 and some wonky synth chords. Near Stoic, Music For A Friend. Intimate, thoughtful pieces from Notebook Thoughts Short Stories on Third Kind Records. A definite Boards of Canada vibe to this one.
Near Stoic – Music For A Friend.
Now I wish my doorbell sounded more like this. The penultimate track and the ultimate wind down. Miguel Otero, Blooming in Sturton Street. Gentle blooms and street-level calm from Islas Calm Cloud. One of the recent compilations let loose on Whitelabrecs. Get it now…
Miguel Otero – Blooming in Sturton Street.
And before the tape ends. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for haste, and neither, I suspect, are you. Support the artists if any of this lodged somewhere—buy the music, share the names. Stream this one on Mixcloud for a week if you need to revisit. All the paths and links live at trevor.se.
And if it was possible to close on a chiller note I think I have you covered. We close with Astropilot, The River Knows No Hurry. Flowing, unforced kosmische from Stockholm label Valley View Records, a reminder that some currents simply continue.
Until the next time the cassette calls. Stay resonant. Stay expansive. Let the sounds find their own way.
Trevor, signing off.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 173
27 January 2026

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve drifted into. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-three. I’m Trevor, turning the reels in the quiet hours.
We approach this one as always—with the old cassette in mind. Side A first, then the satisfying clunk of the flip midway through. Twenty artists tonight, drawn from the shelves where the quieter signals live. Expect drifts of drone and deep ambient, patches of electroacoustic haze, touches of field-recorded exotica, slow-unfolding modular pulses, and the occasional submerged melody that surfaces like something half-remembered from another room. Places flicker through too: underwater trenches, Los Angeles highways at off-hours, Mediterranean dream coasts, vast starry processions, the interior of mechanical bird boxes, and the soft geometries of winter rooms.
No rush. No hooks to grab you. Only the slow uncoiling of sound.
Side A – 00:00
We begin with Nelson, British Columbia based Codedekay and out of place, from Vol. 9 – The Struggle on (We Are The New Underground) Weatnu Records. A patient unfolding of displaced tones, edges softened by time and repetition.
Then an old pseudonym of the artist Time Rival is Supply Fi who brings Unruly Cascade, taken from Unruly Predation on Triplicate Records who I believe Michael Southard, Time Rivals, Supply Fi’s real name, helped create. Cross-genre currents here—ambient electronics that fold and fracture without ever quite settling. Grab this, it’s a name your price release.
I know we’re all over the Christmas vibe already. But at least here in Sweden the snow lies thick. So here’s Omni Gardens with Winter Wonderland, from the Christmas release on Moon Glyph. Familiar seasonal shapes viewed through gauze, Moog warmth and mellotron drift turning the usual into something hushed and interior.
Now one of the channels favourites with some 90s vibe Lounge. I get a hint of Lemon Jelly wafting through this one. THE GAYE DEVICE offers Argent Echo from Routes. Silvered reflections in electronic form, routes that loop back on themselves with deliberate calm.
This next one is the opening track on my second compilation release. This is Ursula’s Cartridges who submerges us in Mighty Underwater Adventure (UC’s Challenger Deep Remix), from Resonances from the Depths. Dubbed echoes refracted through deep pressure, bubbles rising slow.
Things fall apart now with Dissolved who arrives with Alveolate Minds, Exposure Fields on Mahorka. Grainy, fragmented atmospheres—drone and broken beats meeting in alveolar spaces, porous and breathing.
Belgian artist MICADO gives us An Afternoon Reflection from Mindscapes on Argentinian label Cyclical Dreams. Gentle modular lines catching light, a pause where the day leans back.
Now to help us into the zone is Dormance who closes the first side with Dormance 14, from II on Mahorka. Pure dormancy—Squeaky toys, dub tones, and a spoon in a tumble dryer do half the work.
Flip the tape. Listen for the mechanism.
Opening the B side is channel champion brain, melting, Stephen James Buckley aka, Polypores opens the reverse with The Body Is The Spaceship, Hungry Vortex. The longest track of the episode clocking in at 11:30. Organic electronics as vessel, pulsing inward and outward in equal measure. Get everything Stephen releases and thank me later.
Now a haunting melody of the free by Kilmarth feat. Silly Shadow with A Paradox So Cruel from Cherophobia on Adventurous Music. Paradox held lightly—shadows and light in tender opposition.
Next the shortest track of the episode at 1:36 Elijah Fox drifts through Her Palace from Ambient Works for the Highways of Los Angeles. Highway-side reveries, palace built from exhaust and sunset haze.
Now into the darkness with Autonomаton who present Endless stars procession from Collected Not Lost 2015-2025 Vol. 1 on Mahorka. Dub Drones tracing constellations in slow parade.
Next up Michal Turtle & HOVE with Only Sawdust Remains from Sawdust Dreams. Sawdust as memory material, fragile and aromatic. A pumping beat over tribal vibes.
Friend of the show now and a short one. Not the artist but the track. I have no idea what Dave Clarkson’s height is. Here he conjures Mechanical Bird Box Exotica from The Ghosts of Christmas Past and the Effects on Mental Health on Mortality Tables. Clockwork birds singing through antique mechanisms, exotica tuned to melancholy.
Here’s an adventurous outing by Edward Givens with Rapid Eye Movement (a Dance) from the album, Terra. Dream-state pagan motion, eyes flicking beneath lids.
Here an offering of my own. This is Trevlad with EXPANSIVE WAVES 20 (Airtime Text Reacting) from TVCL-08. Airtime caught in reactive loops—waves folding back on their own transmission.
Now French synth miestro Alex Ringess with the final track And Now Let’s Play This New Game from Asynchronicity. Asynchronous invitation, rules written in delay and overlap.
Next an odd one by Catharæ with In my world from Dreams of the Mediterranéant on Adventurous Music. Mediterranean shores remade as interior landscape, trails tracing the mind.
And now the penultimate piece some deep bass tones from Christian Kleine who brings Slow from the 2025 Label Compilation mixed by Todos on A Strangely Isolated Place. Deliberate tempo, everything given room to breathe.
And now, as the tape nears the end, a few words before the leader. Thanks for staying with it. These programmes aren’t built for playlists or quick consumption, and neither are the ears that find them. Support the artists when you can—buy the music, name their work in quiet corners. It matters more than algorithms admit.
This episode streams free for a week on Mixcloud, links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments. Say something if the mood takes you. Or let the silence hold. Both are welcome.
I leave you with the wonderful Sussex Telecom who signs off with Kendophaz from the 2022 release Creator Warehouse on channel sponsoring Third Kind Records. Phased signals from some coastal telecom exchange, wires humming in the wind.
Until the next wind or the next run-out groove—stay resonant, stay expansive. Let the frequencies find their own way back to you. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 162
1 January 2026

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‑six‑two of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Mugs Softest Owners—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.
Before we begin, a very warm Happy New Year to you. Whether you’re listening on a walk, in the quiet of the early hours, or hiding from the world with a pair of headphones, I hope 2026 brings you peace, curiosity, and a few unexpected sonic discoveries.
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. And a quick note: the tracks by Simon McCorry and Gregory Paul Mineeff in this episode are exclusives from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation sleeplaboratory6.0. Apologies to Harry for playing so many pieces from this wonderful release, which drops tomorrow, the 2nd of January. When something’s good, it’s hard not to share it.
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 wanders through kosmische corners, microtonal detours, lullabies, croquettes, mythology, therapy, vortexes, and the occasional snow‑dusted memory. 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.”

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.”

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 156
16 December 2025

“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑five‑six of the Virtual Cassette Library. Theme is Weaned Them Quietly—that’s the track you hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map if you’re curious enough to look it up on What3Words or YouTube. As usual, it’s ninety minutes, two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know—Craig Padilla on Projekt Records, Thom Yorke on XL Recordings—and others you might stumble across for the first time, like Sulk Rooms from Honley, or Rupert Lally out of Switzerland. Michal Turtle and HOVE bring us something dreamlike from Basel, Chris Randall sends mechanical pulses from Phoenix on Triplicate Records, and Redvet offers a guiding star from Floodlit Recordings. Now, there’s a little game running through these episodes starting with this episode. Each week, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten shows, 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, if you’re counting, 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’ve got it right. Later on, we’ll hear Jarguna, Odile Bruckert, and Henrik Meierkord weaving textures somewhere between drone and kosmische; Daniel Vincent and Rick Sanders sketching out their own universes; Camp of Wolves from Lunar Module; Onepointwo with melodies that feel like they’ve always been there; Cole Pulice drifting through saxophone dreamscapes on Moon Glyph; and MICADO with a Berlin School ambient dream courtesy of Cyclical Dreams. On the flip side, Raica on Silver Threads, Lorna Dune, Signalstoerung with Asja Skrinik on Adventurous Music, Jordane Prestrot from France, and a piece of my own as Trevlad alongside Masefield Labs and gribbles. Fisty Kendal, Floormat Doormat, frostlake from Sheffield, Tom Bragl on Kahvi Collective, Kutiman and Ouzo Bazooka with a desert groove from Batov Records, Dual Dialect climbing pyramids, and Ghost In The Loop from Imaginary North. It’s ambient, drone, kosmische, experimental pop, modular synths, hauntology, global funk, and a bit of humour thrown in. 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. First track up: Craig Padilla, Calypsos Improv Live 2011…”

“Greetings all. Episode one-five-three of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Bothered Sugars Expert. That’s the track you hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—it’s up on YouTube if you’re curious.

You’ll hear Downscope on Unexplained Sounds Group, Blank Thomas from Third Kind Records, and Akasha System shaping haunted atmospheres.

Later, International Debris, Bluff Creek, Hari Maia on Cyclical Dreams, and my own track Probing Softest Update drift into view. Aphex Twin, To Rococo Rot, and Nigel Mullaney carry us deeper into the resonance.
Labels orbiting here include Mahorka, Shimmering Moods, and Adventurous Music. Styles range from ambient and drone to electroacoustic, kosmische, and experimental jazz. These transmissions stretch across places—London, Toronto, Melbourne, and Rouen—woven into the library’s signal.

This episode is a deep dive into the magnetic hiss of memory, the shimmer of modular synths, and the emotional resonance of modern composition. woven together into two, uninterrupted, 45 minute adventures. There is a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark. A lovingly warped mixtape of ambient meditations, experimental electronics, and genre-fluid explorations. The shows are designed for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe.
I won’t be commenting between the tracks. You can join Nanogods’ poetic visualizations on the time line. Don’t be shy.
