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 one hundred and seventy. I’m Trevor, pulling another virtual tape from the imaginary shelf, blowing off the fantasy dust, and sliding it into the dreamed up deck. Cassette tapes have two sides, of course. We’ll play through Side A, then flip it—virtually, mind you—and carry on with Side B. Twenty artists tonight, drawn from various corners, various decades in some cases, but all of them worth the time. No rush. The show runs as long as the tape does. Styles drift across ambient swells from northern latitudes, submerged electronics that sound like sonar pings in forgotten wrecks, sparse house pulses, field-recorded quietudes, kinetic experiments, and a few moments of outright joyful confusion. Places echo through too: underwater depths around the MV Creteblock, Japanese winter clear skies in fuyubare which is Japanese and means just that, clear winter skies. We have snow-covered expanses in Stella Rossa territory, and various abstracted laboratories of sleep and decryption. Side A kicks off with Berlin based, Metric System 1981 – Diffusion – Solar Return: Gollden Hour Mix – out on Toronto based ambient label – Imaginary North. A slow unfurling of synthetic haze, layers peeling back like morning mist over still water. Patient, golden-hour glow without the need for resolution. Don’t be fooled by this chilled opening Now we ramp up the party with Oh Mr James – The Acid Riddle – Extracellular Gig Ticket Promo CD I’ve been ranting about on the past couple of episodes – Buried Treasure. Acid lines twist through a riddle of percussion and odd vocal fragments. Something peculiar and insistent lurks here, half-buried in the mix. Taking us back down now, to a much darker place is Warmfield – Wreck of the MV Creteblock – Resonances from the Depths – Which is my own compilation album released on the Trevlad Bandcamp page. Pick it up for a buck. It’s got 24 Stellar artists. And a reminder to get your entries in for the next compilation dropping at the end of March. Deep submersion piece, creaking hulls and distant bubbles. Feels like listening from inside a sunken freighter somewhere in cold northern seas. Warmfield with Wreck of the MV Creteblock Now we’re entering Electro world with Revok – No Reflection – Mirror – A digital Bandcamp self release. Mirrors without reflections: stark, echoing electronics that fold in on themselves. Minimal surfaces, maximum unease. Over we drift to Lawrence – Spark – Spark EP – Ghostly International, which dropped way back in 2004. A gentle house flicker, warm and understated. Spark as in ignition, but slow-burning, Detroit lineage felt in the restraint. And now an absolute belter. This will have you on your feet in no time. In fact I featured it on my new series called Alone on the dance floor along with that Revok piece I played earlier. This is Baxter Dury – with the title track from the album Allbarone – Out on London based Heavenly Recordings. Spoken-edged narratives over loose grooves. Pub philosophy meets off-kilter funk, delivered deadpan. Shuffling up the genres again now. So how about some psych-surf rock? This is The Hamiltones – Suit Up – In Space – A name your price release on Buffalo, New York based Swimming Faith Records. Cosmic soul strut, horns and tight rhythms lifting off into orbit. Feels like getting dressed for a mission beyond the atmosphere. Now for some super fresh Electro stabs from SubDan – You – Moments of Joy – Out on Nottingham, UK based Remnants records. Quiet joy in electronic form, soft pads and subtle shifts. A moment caught and held. Now some gorgeous IDM from Djrum – Waxcap – Under Tangled Silence – Out on London label Houndstooth. Mycelial rhythms, fungal growth in sound. Percussion that breathes, field recordings woven into the undergrowth. The penultimate track of the A side brings the bliss with Luis Miehlich – 冬晴 (Fuyubare) – Verses – Out on the Dewtone label. Winter clear sky translated to tones: crystalline, open space, Japanese seasonal precision in ambient form. We end the A side in field recording teratory Lorebound – Tales of Decryption – AvRPG – Available on South Korean label Prekursor Encrypted narratives unlocked layer by layer. RPG ambience with cryptic melodies emerging from static.
B Side
We open with some pretty wild jazz from Ljubljana, Slovenia based Etceteral – Minus – Kimatika – Out on Glitterbeat Records. Subtraction as composition: negative space filled with sparse tones and distant pulses. Next an old favorite of mine in the form of Benge – Five Fifty Eight – Orgoustic Plus 30. Modular drift, clockwork precision meeting organic warmth. Time marked in subtle increments. Now Tom Bragl – Tidal Force – Pielesh – Out on name your price Finnish label Kahvi Collective Gravitational pull in electronic waves, tides rising slow and inevitable. Next up Alexander Caminada aka Phonosonic – The Drifting Quiet – Sleeplaboratory60 – Whitelabrecs. Quiet that drifts rather than settles. Field recordings and gentle drones in a sleep lab haze. I’ve played a lot from this compilation so go grab it on whitelabrecs. While we’re on this record let’s take another dip with Tides – Light Veils – Veils of light over water, translucent layers shimmering. Companion piece feel, same whitelabs stillness. Now we head back to Buried treasure and that amazing Extracellular exclusive this time from Gong Girl – Kinetic Kinetic Kinetic – Extracellular Gig Ticket Promo CD. Kinetic energy in perpetual motion, circling without landing. So what’s missing from the episode? Ah, flutes and xylophones I hear you cry. Well I’ve got you covered. Not me personally but Dual Dialect – Conglomerate III – Meme-leak Mosaic – Conglomerate EP – out on Aussie label 4000 records. Mosaic of leaking fragments, dialect collisions in glitch and rhythm. Chaotic assembly. Lovely stuff there from Dual Dialect. Now to the penultimate track of episode 170 from mate of the channel. Simon Heartfield – Across The Snow – Stella Rossa – all live hardware stuff zero computers. Featuring a vocal samples by Isle of Wight artist Roberta Fidora. Snowfield traversal: cold expanse, distant horizons in melodic ambient strokes. To end this episode we bliss out with two artists I’ve played in previous outings but not together. Well here they are. Anita Tatlow & Runaway Horses – with the opening piece from their 5 track EP – The Shore from Above – The his is – confused and happy – out on Echoes Blue Music. Shoreline vantage, happiness tangled with confusion. Voices and strings adrift on the edge. Outro – And then the tape will wind to the end. Thanks for staying with it. These selections aren’t chasing trends or filling slots—they’re simply pieces I wanted to hear in sequence. Support the artists where you can: Bandcamp pages, physical releases if they exist, or at least send a whisper of appreciation their way. It all travels further than you think. This episode streams on Mixcloud for a short while, links and full credits at trevor.se, comments open if anything strikes you. Or stay quiet. Quiet has its own frequency. Until the next tape calls—stay curious, stay listening. Here is Anita Tatlow & Runaway Horses with confused and happy.

“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑six‑one of the Virtual Cassette Library—which also happens to be my 900th mix show. I’m not entirely sure how that happened, but here we are. Today’s theme is Obey Beams Starting—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. Early on you’ll hear Night Birds by The Inventors of Aircraft—an exclusive from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation sleeplaboratory6.0. Always a pleasure to be able to share something before it officially takes flight. 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 winter light, spectral electronics, Casio memories, kosmische detours, festive oddities, and the occasional unexpected left‑turn. 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.”

Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑sixty of the Virtual Cassette Library.

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.

“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑five‑nine of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Twist Fondest Waffle—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. We begin with Arbee & Norvik drifting through a Montréal alleyway, Bary Center disappearing into the trees, and Pocket Lint reminding us that we grow through our friends. There’s a rise‑in‑love from micca, diamond‑cracking teeth from pjpriiincess, and a new sun courtesy of GODTET. 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. Later on, we’ll hear winter choruses from Unruly Disturbance, a 2025 remaster from Ian Boddy & Chris Carter, and a snowy Christmas‑Eve vignette from On Idyl. Leisure Prison gives us another living space, Tim Story offers a dust bale hole, and Clearways pings us exactly once before Michael D. Tidwell closes the A side. On the flip side, Tapemoth brings entropy, Marie dissolves into a Bahrambient remix, and IKSRE gives us granite from Imaginary North. There’s cartography from Droning Cats with NRV, Italian library breaks from Modern Sound Quartet, and a fading coordinate from Grant Beasley. Roedelius appears, as he often does, like a quiet blessing. I’ve slipped in one of my own—Another Oddly Screamed—before Floating Points and Raphah carry us gently to the end. It’s ambient, kosmische, wintery, slightly haunted, and occasionally festive in a sideways sort of way. 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: Arbee & Norvik, Dans une ruelle, suite…”

Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator. Tonight’s programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces, each longer than twelve minutes, each more patient than the last. If you’re expecting choruses, drops, or anything resembling urgency, you may want to try another channel. We begin, as always, not with a bang but with a murmur. The track you’re hearing underneath me is from my own unreleased album, TVCL 08. It’ll be out when it’s ready—sixteen tracks, no sooner. You can find it on Bandcamp under Trevlad, if you’re the curious sort. So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
Right, we are starting off tonight with a deep dive into primitive droning territories, courtesy of Patrick R. Pärk. He is based in Denver, Colorado, and is clearly a devotee of the kosmische sound. This piece is ‘Music As An Awesome Healing Force,’ which appears on his album Luminous Rainbow Pulse, released on November 7. His sound covers Berlin School, electronic, experimental, drone, and krautrock.
Next up, we travel to Luxembourg for Maxence Dubroca & co, who is an experimental composer and arranger, and the frontman of Projet -> Renard) Ost) the company being Anita Franz & Simon Gris. The work we have here is ‘Counsel: A Roam Is Not Consequent,’ lifted from the Jump Badger Jump album, which saw release on July 16. This is wonderfully slow material, categorized as ambient drone, electroacoustic, minimal, and slowcore.
Marvelous. We move now to the UK, specifically Sheffield, for Hervé Perez. Hervé Perez is a sound artist, composer, and improviser, and his work is released via nexTTime production studios. This is a live recording, ‘nada 22, live stream 02 10 2024,’ released October 2, 2024, and takes up the largest part of the episode clocking in at 53:20. Hervés’ sound falls under electronic, electroacoustic, experimental electronic, improvisation, and new jazz. This is the sort of evocative work that uses disquiet and dissonance to open imaginary cinematic worlds.
We turn now to a journey from Jarguna, Odile Bruckert, and Henrik Meierkord. This is ‘Sleeping Among the Rice Fields,’ featured on their album Furrows of Memory. Projekt Records, which is America’s premier independent label specializing in passionately intense introspective music in the ambient, electronic, ethereal, and darkwave genres, released this piece on November 21. The work has a beautiful world, new age vibe. This is music that flows and takes you gently on a peaceful meditation.
Following that, we hear from SourceCodeX, a multi-instrumentalist specializing in synthesizers and guitar, working out of Washington, D.C.. This is ‘Clouds Parting Soon,’ which is part of the REBIRTH ~ 10TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED RELEASE, out on November 16. His sound covers ambient, electronic, progressive rock, and synth rock. SourceCodeX stated that listening to Steve Roach’s Structures from Silence is what turned him into an ambient artist. This is utterly splendid to my taste, described by others as an incredibly immersive experience and epic, mysterious, moving, and beautifully produced.
Next up, we have Ümlaut, with the piece ‘Pulling all the sky’. This track is featured on EX! Zine Edition 4 from Adventurous Music, released on November 24. Adventurous Music, based in Leipzig, Germany, is a non-profit micro-label promoting experimental music. Pulling all the sky provides a contemplative and trippy soundscape, it contains field recordings with bird song which I have a soft spot for.
We turn to Asheville, North Carolina, now for Spooqs. This is the complete ‘BIOMES (Full Suite)’, which came out on November 14. Spooqs calls his efforts Electronic Impressionist Instrumentals, creating mood music for imaginary spaces. As this is a full suite you’re are in for quite a trip.
And finally, to close out this installment of Expansive Waves, we have a beautiful, enveloping drone from a channel regular, Willebrant. This is Karl Willebrant, a bassist and producer from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, running an ambient field drone project. This piece is called ‘A Knight on a Boat (slowed and reverb),’ from his collection The Knight Seas, which saw release on November 7. It is firmly placed in the ambient drone, electronic, and meditation categories. Fans describe the album as divine and providing real gentle ambience to lose yourself in.
🎧 Outro And now, as we approach the final piece, a few words before we vanish again. Thanks for sticking around. Really. These episodes aren’t designed for mass consumption, and neither are you. I’ll be back when the wind changes or the tape runs out—whichever comes first. No schedule, no promises. Waves, that’s all we have. If you liked what you heard, support the artists. Buy their music. Whisper their names into the void. It helps. You can stream this episode on Mixcloud at djsofabed/expansive-waves-20, and find all the links and credits on the episode page at trevor.se. Drop a comment if you feel moved. Or don’t. Silence is underrated. Until next time—stay resonant, stay expansive, and let the soundtrack of the universe find you. Take it away Willebrant.
