Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178
15 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 178. 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.
We float tonight through drifts of ambient electronic, modular wanderings, dubwise echoes, some art rock angles, leftfield pop inflections, drone undertows, and the odd burst of experimental pop. Places flicker by: Wormhole World gatherings, Republic of Music corners, Castles in Space haunts, Invisible Inc. pathways, Four Flies shadows, and points scattered from Lancashire to Vilnius, Munich to Mexico City.
The longest stretch in the selection comes from Caught in Joy – Elsewhere, a patient unravelling that lingers in the mind. The shortest snaps past in a flash with Allmanna Town – Sample 24, not even reaching the minute mark.
We begin with Dubberrookie and Winter Weather, a seasonal drift from A Wormhole Xmas 2025 on Wormhole World. Chilled dub pulses meet wintry synth haze, gentle echoes folding into themselves like snow settling on rooftops.
Headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the frequencies claim you.
Dubberrookie – Winter Weather. Dubberrookie will appear on my upcoming compilation “Puzzles of the Psyche”. There’s still time. Send in your entries by March 25.
Now Floating Points with Precursor, the bonus unreleased cut from the Elaenia 10 Year Anniversary on the Republic of Music label. Sparse piano gestures meet subtle electronic undercurrents, a quiet prelude that breathes slow and deliberate.
Floating Points – Precursor.
Next up Bahia Brazil based artist – Navin Kala offers Vijf from Spinoza on a favourite label of the show Mystery Circles. Minimalist piano lines trace thoughtful paths, space around each note allowing contemplation to gather.
Navin Kala – Vijf. A reminder now if you have a piece of music that has meant a lot to you for some reason tell me about it. I’m putting together a new show called “Chord Confessions” and I need some tales behind the most important music ever released. PM me on the socials or email me trevlad@gmail.com Now back to the show.
Now amping up the drone. Stewart Keller brings Disheveled Zen from the whopping 100 track 2020-2025 Archives. Loosened field recordings and soft electronics tangle in a relaxed, almost accidental calm.
Stewart Keller – Disheveled Zen.
Here’s me Trevlad with Curving Archive Scales from the Trick or Treat 4 compilation on Sounds for the Soul. Archive dust and curving scales weave a long, meditative thread, time marked in subtle modular shifts.
Trevlad – Curving Archive Scales. Just a quick shout out to the latest followers Bernt Haas, who I believe is part of the Cries from the LTN outfit. Also Liquid Shape and The Tall Librarian. Thanks for the follow.
Now Mexico City based artists Eafhm and Mwamwa collaborate on Luzne (Mwamwa Part) from the split release on Secuencias Temporales. Dubby bass hums beneath fragmented vocal traces, a hazy half-step wander.
Eafhm, Mwamwa – Luzne (Mwamwa Part).
And now for something completely different. Deerhoof deliver L’Amour Stories from Apple O’ on Joyful Noise Recordings. Quick, angular art rock bursts with playful yelps and tight rhythmic jabs.
Deerhoof – L’Amour Stories.
Garda slips in Substratum from S-Lyga on the Neotantra label. Deep drone layers build slow atmospheric weight, substratum textures rumbling low.
Garda – Substratum.
Now time to punk it up. Tinned Meats present Caught in the Wild from Kilter on I Heart Noise. Raw edges meet noisy propulsion, caught somewhere between garage grit and wilder impulses. Mad stuff…
Tinned Meats – Caught in the Wild.
And now Keith Seatman with Tonight’s Guests Are? from the forthcoming Counting to Ten Then Back Again on Castles in Space. Radiophonic quirks and psych-folk fragments evoke childhood games and firework packaging memories, playful yet oddly disorienting.
Keith Seatman – Tonight’s Guests Are?
The Polish legend of Coconut Creek, Caught in Joy closes Side A with Elsewhere.
Karol is the most prolific Berlin school artist on the planet. He produces so much quality music on a weekly basis. Which he records live and can be witnessed on his Youtube channel. Analogue drooling adventures. The track Elsewhere is from the release Colorfield. Self released back in mid December. Karol has released 4 albums since then just for some perspective. This is Analogue coloured space drifts to close out the first side of the show.
Side B
We turn the cassette. If you have something you want featured on the shows lease don’t be shy. I’m not on a schedule which means I get to do shows several times a week, which means you won’t have to wait long to hear your music here. Here’s a label that does just that from the fantastic Italian label Four Flies Records. Chiaré opens with Ago e Filo from the album Sei. Italian library echoes meet modern restraint, strings and subtle grooves threading through.
Chiaré – Ago e Filo.
Now LOULA YORKE shares The Hidden Messages in Water (Live at the Mount Without) from Live Compendium 2 on Truxalis. Live-captured modular meditations unfold with quiet intensity, water-like ripples expanding.
LOULA YORKE – The Hidden Messages in Water (Live at the Mount Without).
Next another artist who has contributed in the past to my compilations the fantastic The Music Liberation Front Sweden who arrive with A Lot Of Things Ain’t Changing from their collection on Third Kind Records. Warped pop edges bend familiar shapes into something skewed and resilient.
The Music Liberation Front Sweden – A Lot Of Things Ain’t Changing.
And Now Higamos Hogamos rework Re-Exit (GK Machine Dub Voyager) from Voyager Dubs on Glasgows Invisible, Inc. Deep dub transformations stretch the original into cavernous space.
Higamos Hogamos – Re-Exit (GK Machine Dub Voyager).
Francesca Guccione offers Mechanical Promenade from Connected 3 on IUWE Records. Mechanical rhythms promenade alongside delicate electric piano, a poised mechanical dance. A wonderful must have compilation celebrating 9 of the best female experimental electronic out there. In fact the entire label focuses on the beauty of female diversity in electronic music. Enjoy.
Francesca Guccione – Mechanical Promenade.
Komodo Kolektif follow with Disciple Of The Drone (GK Machine Disciple Of The Dub) also from that Voyager Dubs compilation on Invisible, Inc. Drone devotion meets dub disciple rites, heavy and hypnotic. Invisible, Inc. is a label I wish I could play more of on the channel, and just can’t for financial reasons. They are great so if you can grab some of their beautiful physical releases.
Komodo Kolektif – Disciple Of The Drone (GK Machine Disciple Of The Dub).
Now friend of the show Russian artist Ndorfik contributes Tahvi from Solos on People Can Listen. 5/8 Idm explorations carve sparse, introspective paths. Ndorfik has enlightened me on the fact that Mixcloud is not available without streaming through VPNs in his neck of the woods. So I send him the files of past shows so he can spread the good word.
Ndorfik – Tahvi.
Now the penultimate track and two masters of the ambient scene. Rhucle & Arbee bring Mournful Sky from Plain on David Cordero curated label Noray Records. Mournful ambient skies drift with gentle melancholy, field-like textures breathing slow.
Rhucle & Arbee – Mournful Sky.
Material for future shows is always welcome. Send your vibrations to trevlad@gmail.com. Purchase paths glow at trevor.se and in each show’s timeline.
Until the next cassette turns.
Trevor, signing off from Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178.
I leave you with the very short track Sample 24 by Allmanna Town Allmanna Town is Phil Dodds who runs the amazing Waxing Crescent Records and my fellow Stockholm dweller Jonas Geiger Ohlin of The New Emphatic fame. this track is from Rodents out on their own Bandcamp imprint. Sampled fragments glitch and reform in rodent-quick bursts.
And that fades us out. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 177
08 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 one hundred and seventy-seven. I’m Trevor, sitting here with a stack of tapes that feel heavier than they ought to, and a vague sense that the world outside might have moved on without telling us.
We’re dealing with a virtual cassette, two sides as tradition demands, twenty artists in total, the kind of selection that drifts between ambient drifts, darkwave edges, neoclassical touches, drone meditations, some post-rock undercurrents, a bit of hauntology perhaps, and the occasional flicker of something more abstract or collage-like. Places crop up too: London, Barcelona, Cheltenham, Stroud, Berlin, Hamburg, Manchester, Glasgow, a scattering across North Carolina, Portland, Vancouver, Toronto, even the Bahamas and Tallinn. The map doesn’t stay still.
The longest track we’ll hear is “Lost in the Morning” by On Idyl, stretching out across the open air like it has nowhere else to be. The shortest is “Heartspace” by Heaven Topology, brief enough to feel like a held breath.
Just before we dive in I need your help with a new show I’m putting together. I need stories about music that changed something in your life. A direction, a decision, a realisation. It’ll be the most important music of all time while I promote you as a fan, artist, label curator, mum, dad, whatever you like. If you don’t have a story which is highly unlikely maybe you know of someone who does. Let’s make something special together.
Now back to the show. Side A begins with a couple of exclusive tracks to catch your interest.
First, from Lo Recordings, Haiku Salut & Meg Morley with “Laugh and cricket” – a delicate weave of piano and field recordings that evokes summer evenings where insects compete with human laughter, gentle and unhurried. from the upcoming album – The Lost Score – dropping on Lo Recordings on 27 march.
Haiku Salut & Meg Morley – Laugh and cricket.
Next that other exclusive. f5point6, on See Blue Audio, “432 Hz (Remastered)” – tuned to that frequency people chase for calm, layered synths unfolding slowly, remastered to let the harmonics breathe properly. 432 Hz from the album retrospect with drops on the 13 Feb.
f5point6 – 432 Hz (Remastered).
Time Rival now, “Deleter” from the 45 track Murmurs in the Mist compilation which I released back in November. Don’t forget to get your entries in for the next outing before the end of March. Anyway This is Time Rivals Deleter – a quiet deletion of boundaries, soft electronics that erase the line between memory and the present.
Time Rival – Deleter.
NOUVELLES LECTURES COSMOPOLITES with “La chute des dominos” from Jaculus Jaculus ou neuf instantanés pittoresques de la vie trépidante de la gerboise des steppes Jaculus jaculus or nine picturesque snapshots of the hectic life of the desert jerboa– tumbling motifs, playful yet precise, like dominoes falling in a French steppe wind.
NOUVELLES LECTURES COSMOPOLITES – La chute des dominos.
Now here’s that piece you could easily hold a breath to. Heaven Topology, “Heartspace” from Describer on Ingrown Records.– interior spaces opening outward, warm tones suggesting a place where the heart expands without apology. A very underrated release from last August.
Heaven Topology – Heartspace.
Now we’re off to the Bahamas which is not often on the show. pjpriiincess, “my teeth crush bones” – from the NYP album my teeth crack diamonds my teeth crush bones.
raw, visceral, crunching through the surface into something primal and glittering.
pjpriiincess – my teeth crush bones.
Now a friend of the show. and one of the longer pieces this episode. Masefield Labs, “Station Keeping” from his latest album Shaded Escapes released just a few days ago. Big thank you John for the mention in the album notes. holding position in shifting currents, steady pulses beneath drifting layers.
Masefield Labs – Station Keeping.
zerosummer is the alter ego of Paolo Taviano, Italian musician. Here he is with “Nebula” from The Blue Hours on the wonderful Driftworks label. – cosmic drift, haze of stars forming and dissolving in slow motion.
zerosummer – Nebula.
Next a fantastic label that I do hope you’re all supporting. Uppsala, Sweden based, Passed Records. This next track and two more on the B side are from NYP compilations of artists they’ve released in 2025 so go get them now. G!GA LURGH, “Ambient Jam #1 (Previously YouTube Exclusive)” from The Passed Year 2025 on Passed Recordings – loose, exploratory, the kind of jam that happened once and lingers.
G!GA LURGH – Ambient Jam #1 (Previously YouTube Exclusive).
The penultimate track on side a from three artists who are fantastic in they’re own realms and just as great combined. Bahrambient, Retland, Kilometre Club with “Under Open Skies” from Cloud Paths – vast skies, gentle progression, open and unconfined in a small package.
Bahrambient, Retland, Kilometre Club – Under Open Skies.
And closing Side A, and a track that closes the compilation release it came from. Emanuele Errante, “Permanent Sunset” from Islas Calm Cloud, on whitelabrecs – eternal dusk, warm glow that refuses to fade completely.
Emanuele Errante – Permanent Sunset.
virtual tape flip
Side B, then.
Now a piece of my own. Trevlad now, “Glare Belonged Reaction” from TVCL-07 – reaction to too much light, refracted and softened.
Trevlad – Glare Belonged Reaction.
Next from the outstanding Hamburg based label Bureau B. Kreidler, “Im Betrieb (IV)” from Early Recordings 1994-95 – mechanical yet human, rhythms from the factory floor turned inward.
Kreidler – Im Betrieb (IV).
This next track has its own music video which if you like jelly you should check out. Crank up the volume and massage those neck muscles with Clark, “Civilians” from Steep Stims – everyday lives caught in electronic undertow, subtle distortions.
Clark – Civilians.
Pandacetamol, “Simply Pour” from Below the Surface on Mahorka – liquid motion, pouring without end, calm acceptance. A recommended Mahorka release from last November.
Pandacetamol – Simply Pour.
Next, as mentioned, another track from the Passed Recordings label and Ed Herbers, “The Moon (How Bright It Is)” from The Ghost of Christmas Passed. – lunar observation, bright and distant.
Ed Herbers – The Moon (How Bright It Is).
We follow this with another track from that other compilation on the same label. This is On Idyl, “Lost in the Morning (from The Fecund Wood)” here from The Passed Year 2025 on Passed Recordings – morning disorientation in fertile woods, gentle confusion.
On Idyl – Lost in the Morning (from The Fecund Wood).
and now an old friend of the channel Apta, “Shivers” from Apta Live Aviva Studios Manchester 04-12-25 – live capture, shivers running through the room in Manchester.
Apta – Shivers.
Next, for the penultimate number we head to Austin, Texas and artist Devras Plexi, “Relational” from Paradigm 10 Year Label Sampler on Glasgow label Bricolage – connections drawn in sound, relational fields.
Devras Plexi – Relational.
And now, as the tape hisses to its end, a few words before the silence returns. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for crowds, and neither, perhaps, are we. I’ll be back when the next cassette arrives or the mood shifts—whichever feels less predictable. No fixed schedule, no grand announcements. Support the artists if any of this stayed with you—buy the music, share their names quietly. You can stream this one on Mixcloud for a week or so, links and credits at trevor.se, or in the usual places. Comments are welcome, though silence has its own merits.
And finally, Tallinn, Estonia based artist Paul Beaudoin with “to hold you safe” from 1514 Lee Street – a quiet promise held close. Minimal ambient at it’s finest.
Until the next fragment of time overlaps with ours—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the sounds find their way.
Paul Beaudoin – to hold you safe. Cheerio…
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 177. Good night.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 175
01 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 washed up in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-five. I’m Trevor, here again, turning over another worn cassette in the dim glow, letting the oxide whisper its secrets.
These tapes arrive unmarked most times, or with labels half-peeled, but they carry traces—field recordings folded into drone, synths that drift like low cloud over northern latitudes, breaks that nod to libraries long since catalogued and forgotten, post-rock edges softened by reverb tails, psych undercurrents that never quite surface, ambient excursions that refuse to resolve. Scotland lingers in a few of these grooves, Cologne breathes through one, Italy scatters light across another, while others seem to come from no fixed place at all, just coordinates lost between sleep and map.
No rush tonight. Twenty pieces, two sides, a flip when the spool runs thin. If the kettle needs boiling, let it. If the room grows cold, pull something closer. The world can wait outside the door.
It’s a special Saturday here in Sweden and marks the start of the Melody Festival. Which, however you feel about it makes the long winter up here bearable. How ever you feel about the music represented.
Now back to this outing.
First, something that moves like light through leaves in late winter. Camouflage by Kraft, from the Bureau B 2025 release on Bureau B. A gentle, sensual, unfurling, synths breathing slow. Headphones on, let time dissolve and let the frequencies claim you.
Camouflage – Kraft.
Now Lo Five with STORY, pulled from Superdank on Lunar Module. A definite nod to the ORB, A pumping beat over child spoken narrative and House stabs.
STORY – Lo Five.
Now taking us way down. E J R M offers Pitter Patter, part of Solar Return – Gollden Hour Mix on Imaginary North. Glistening drones that patter like rain on tin, layered with distant chords.
Pitter Patter – E J R M.
Now staying in Droneville. Wil Bolton and David Cordero together for Starlight Breeze, from How to Make Sense of Downtime on the Home Normal label. Notes drift against soft drones, a breeze indeed.
Starlight Breeze – Wil Bolton & David Cordero.
Now a shot one, 1:25 to be exact. Tim Story and Cafe Kaputt, taken from Buzzle on Curious Music. Melancholic Mellotron keys and a Hugh Hopper style bass, in a room that’s emptying slowly.
Cafe Kaputt – Tim Story.
The longest piece for the episode at 8 minutes. Droning Cats with NRV bring Dreams with Claws, from Cartography of Sleep on Barcelona based See Blue Audio. Claws sheathed in haze, dreams that scratch gently. Bobbling bass which sounds like it’s being played by the tide. and sparse porch friendly guitar lines.
Dreams with Claws – Droning Cats with NRV.
Caer Sgàil, from Scotland, with It’s The People We Choose (Exit Chamber’s Choose Wisely Remix), off It’s The Remixes We Choose EP on Caer Sgàil’s Bandcamp. Deep, shadowed rework, piano buried in mist.
It’s The People We Choose (Exit Chamber’s Choose Wisely Remix) – Caer Sgàil.
And now for something completely different. Modern Sound Quartet and Bucaneve, from Italian Library Breaks on Four Flies Records. Breaks with a Mediterranean lightness, snow in name only. Italian library jazz fusion from the 70s.
Bucaneve – Modern Sound Quartet.
Another longer track at 7:39. Andrea Cichecki offers When We Close Our Eyes, shared with track that follows by Tangent Universes on Connected 3 via I u we Records. Eyes closed, the world turns inward, synths cradle the shift.
When We Close Our Eyes – Andrea Cichecki.
And right beside it, Tangent Universes with A Suit Of Leaves, also from Connected 3 on I u we Records. Leaves rustling in some parallel season.
A Suit Of Leaves – Tangent Universes.
Time to turn the tape. Listen for the clunk, the hiss, the moment the mechanism catches.
We open Side B. Ekin Fil with bump, from Bora Boreas on Dutch label Dronarivm. Delicate, almost fragile, yet it lingers.
bump – Ekin Fil.
Now the perfect track for the moment as I’m recording this on Saturday morning. Wooden Tape and Saturday Morning, lifted from the MCPM018 Compilation Album on Moolakii Club Audio Interface label. Sun through curtains, coffee cooling, a cassette morning.
Saturday Morning – Wooden Tape.
Another Mellotron now. Osees deliver The Ceiling, released as a single. Garage-psych softened at the edges. Like early Floyd crossed with Cardiacs.
The Ceiling – Osees.
Next some original indie thinking. Foxwarren with Strange, off 2 on Anti- Records. Folk that tilts strange, sampled classic movie strings and bubbling bass.
Strange – Foxwarren.
Next Andrew Wasylyk featuring Gruff Rhys on The Cold Collar, from Irreparable Parables on the immaculate Clay Pipe Music label. Wonderful story telling.
The Cold Collar (Feat. Gruff Rhys) – Andrew Wasylyk.
Eafhm presents Luzne (Part l), from Eafhm – Luzne on Secuencias Temporales. Percussive world techno. Part one unfolds slow, light on water perhaps.
Luzne (Part l) – Eafhm.
Now the shortest tack of the episode at 58 seconds Herne von Bòrmanvs with Will O^ Water, from Synthergic on recent label friend Pente. Water that glows, will o’ the wisp in circuit form.
Will O^ Water – Herne von Bòrmanvs.
another short and sweet track at 1:42. Grocer Cat and closing up shop. the day is done, off A Day at Market on Hecate. Shutters down, keys in pocket, quiet settles.
closing up shop. the day is done – Grocer Cat.
Now some raw grit. Geese arrive with Bow Down, from Getting Killed on their Bandcamp. Post-punk angles, heads bowed in rhythm.
Bow Down – Geese.
And now, as the reels slow and the tape flaps loose at the end, a few words before the silence claims us again. Thanks for staying with it. These shows aren’t built for quick glances or playlists on shuffle. They’re for the long sit, the slow listen. If anything here stayed with you, find the artists, buy the records, send them a signal through the ether. It matters. This one streams free for seven days on Mixcloud—link below, or at trevor.se, where the credits live too. Comments welcome, or none at all. Silence has its own frequency.
Until the next tape finds its way onto the deck—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the waves carry what they will.
Finally, Jens Pauly with Naab, from his work on the great Whitelabrecs. Field lines drawn in Cologne air, quiet testimony.
This is Trevor, signing off. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 174
28 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 washed up in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. I’m Trevor, turning the reels in the half-light, playing custodian to these sounds that drift in from places most folk never bother to tune toward.
We’ve got twenty artists lined up across the two sides tonight, twenty fragments of cassette spirit. No rush, no hits, no pleading for your attention. Ambient drifts mingle with electroacoustic textures, spiritual jazz breathes alongside kraut-tinged electronics, improv flickers meet drone horizons. Patience is the only ticket required.
Side A coming right up as we ease in with Bary Center and The Source Of Something Greater – Guide Me Through The Hills Of Your Home – Third Kind Records back in 2020. I’d describe this as Textured ambient with a glitch undercurrent, dub-like pulses buried in meditative marshland haze, a quiet hope threading through the sadness.
Then Asheville, North Carolinas Spooqs brings the shortest track of the episode clocking in a 2:27 with Lyskae, The Fissure – Biomes. Cinematic electroacoustic soundscapes, a pilgrimage mapped in melody across dunes and into salt water, landscapes that remember your footprints.
CV Vision follows with The Jam – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. A slice from the label’s latest roundup, electronics carrying that Hamburg lineage of krautrock echoes and avant-garde restraint.
The longest offering this round at 6:53 Resonating With Life offers Spinning Out of The Skies – Resonating With Life – Cyclical Dreams. Drone and ambient suspended in slow rotation, skies that keep unfolding long after you’ve looked away.
Another short one at 2:50 Galecstasy & Mike Watt Trio step up with Imitation Squid – Wattzotica. Which came out today January 28 on A favourite label and channel sponsoring Mystery Circles. I’d say this is Free improvisation from the Joshua Tree, punk-edged bass from Watt meeting synths and drums in unscripted motion, raw and restless.
GODTET deliver Stepper – +The Sydney Symphony Orchestra – La SAPE records. Spiritual jazz meeting orchestral weight, live from the Sydney Opera House, improvisation threading through fixed structures like light through stone.
Now, me, Trevlad with Obey Beams Starting – TVCL 09. Ambient electronics pulled from the library’s own recent episodes, beams that start quiet and refuse to explain themselves.
Camp of Wolves and Summer’s End – Bear Creek – Castles in Space Lunar Module imprint. Fading seasonal glow, folk-tinged atmospheres cooling into dusk.
Angel Wail – When The Burden Felt Too Heavy. A solitary voice in the weight, A self released single that will be featured on my next compilation Puzzles of the Psyche. A reminder to get your entries in for this before March 25th. This Is classic synth shapings with a sad story.
And closing Side A, one of the longer pieces of the episode at 6:50 Jarguna / Odile Bruckert / Henrik Meierkord close the side with The First Sunrise I Remember – Furrows Of Memory – Projekt Records. Memory etched in gentle field recordings and strings, the first light recalled across years.
Side B.
Hipwell opens with Too Much – Too Much. Available through Island House Recordings. This is Direct, unadorned, a title that says everything and nothing more.
Hipnotic Earth brings Snow Begins To Fall – Islas Calm Cloud – Whitelabrecs. Winter settling in slow layers, calm cloud islands drifting.
OdNu, Mi Cosa de Resistance and mRn with En el Viento – Southern Lands – Southern Lands. On another show sponsoring label Audiobulb. Wind-carried voices and tones, Argentinas southern latitudes whispering through the mix.
Das Kinn – Nichts – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. Another from the Bureau B harvest, negation turned into sound, sparse and deliberate.
Clearways offers Mirage – Latrality. Illusions held in place by careful electronics, edges that shimmer and refuse to solidify.
Serbian artist nedogled with Toplina – Upavi Snovi. Warmth in dream states, tones that wrap rather than strike.
Autistici – 2.25 Degrees of Internalisation – Familiarity Unfolded. Another one out on Audiobulb. Internal shifts measured in fractions, unfolding slow and precise.
London based, Time Attendant brings Lapping Up Flames – The Feral Mould. Flames consumed in reverse, feral shapes moulded into something almost gentle. An odd one this, avant garde in places.
Lorna Dune with Perseids – Sequential Dreaming. Another great release from Mystery Circles. Meteor trails across dreaming sequences, streaking light in the dark.
And now, as the tape hisses toward silence, a few words before we disappear again. Thanks for staying with it. These shows aren’t built for crowds, and neither, perhaps, are you. Support the artists where you can—buy the tapes, the downloads, the vinyl when it appears. Whisper their names into whatever void listens. It matters more than metrics suggest.
This episode streams free on Mixcloud for a week, full links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments. Leave a word if something landed. Or don’t. Quiet has its own frequency.
Until the wind shifts or the reel ends—whichever arrives first—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the universe keep its own counsel.
Antwerp based autumna closes the show with sea flames – Murmurs In The Mist – Trevlad. Flames on water, murmurs rising through fog, a final dissolution.
Don’t miss out on my next compilation. Details on my Bandcamp page.
That was Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. Good night.

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 171
23 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 managed to carve out for yourself. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-one. I’m Trevor, speaking to you from the other side of the tape head, where the oxide still clings and the hiss is part of the charm.
We find ourselves on the twenty-third of January, two thousand and twenty-six, with a programme assembled in the spirit of those old C90s that used to stretch evenings without apology. Two sides, as ever. A gentle flip midway through. Twenty artists in total, no more, no less. The music wanders through ambient drifts that evoke Norwegian fjords and calm clouds over islands, psychedelic excursions rooted in Tokyo’s lost forests, motorik pulses, industrial jazz fragments, electroacoustic meditations, desolate plains of techno shadow, and transmissions that feel beamed from some parallel broadcast tower.
No rush here. The pieces breathe. Some stretch beyond the usual borders. If you’re in a hurry, the dial is yours to turn. Otherwise, stay. Let the kettle whistle its own tune. Let the room settle around you.
We open with the first of five exclusive tracks for the episode. This one from Revbjelde and the piece Non Chion – from that Extracellular promo CD on Buried Treasure. Berkshire’s particular strain of industrial jazz psych motorik folk, with guests adding their edges; here it’s a slow uncoiling, fragments of voice and rhythm that feel unearthed from some forgotten field recording.
Next, WEALDHAM with Spectral Points – self-released on Bandcamp. Ghostly electronics, lo-fi edges meeting something almost jazzy and indie, spectral in the truest sense, points of light flickering in the undergrowth.
Then Harry Towell aka Glåsbird, Kaldsår – from the Islas Calm Cloud compilation on Whitelabrecs. Modern classical ambient, electroacoustic, a frozen landscape thawing very slowly, evoking those northern Scandinavian waters and quiet inlets.
Next a new artist for me. Kikagaku Moyo with Kodama – from Forest of Lost Children on Guruguru Brain. Tokyo psychedelic rock, acid folk with raga undertows and krautrock momentum; this one carries the weight of ancient trees and childlike discovery, hypnotic and unhurried.
Then German artist, Tobias Lorsbach, aka, Logic Moon, Under The Blue – also from Islas Calm Cloud on Whitelabrecs. Deep, patient ambient layers, blue horizons stretching out, calm as the title suggests.
Now the amazing Dennis Huddleston, or, 36 as you probably know him, with Imagine The Truth – from Threewave on Past Inside The Present. Vast, immersive drone and ambient textures, truth imagined in slow-motion swells.
Now Tim Gilbert, as, Fields of Few, with a short entry, Northern Light Fading – from Sines Signals on Triplicate Records. Fading auroral glows translated into electronic signals, northern skies captured in synth and reverb.
Next the second of five exclusives from Saratoga Springs based David Aimone, Formless Statement – from Eulogy for an American Dream. Dropping on the 20 February via channel favourite label Passed Recordings. A eulogy delivered in abstract, formless shapes, poignant and drifting.
Here is another short one and an exclusive from Dolly Dolly & Fogroom with Clock Tower – again from that Extracellular promo on Buried Treasure. Avant-garde abstraction, perhaps clockwork mechanics wound down to a whisper, hip-swinging in strange time.
This will be a vinyl launch will be at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, Reading, Berks. On
Sat 28th Feb – 7.30pm to 11pm. Get you tickets now.
UK based, Martin Archer led jazz collective, Orchestra Of The Upper Atmosphere, and the fourth exclusive in the form of, Moonride – from their up coming release on Discus Music. Due out 30th January. Cosmic jazz orbits, upper atmosphere drifts where melody and improvisation meet the void.
And now another channel champion in the form of Bucla easel star Giulio Fontana known as, Ogle, Walking Robots – from Dystopian Leisure on Mahorka. Robotic gait in a leisure dystopia, electronic pulses that walk with mechanical melancholy.
Here’s one of my all time top artists. Finlands finest, Jimi Tenor Band, Shine All Night featuring Florence Adooni – from the Bureau B 2025 compilation on Bureau B. Afro-futurist grooves, shining through the night with soulful brass and voices.
Now the final track before the flip from the wonderful Polish artist, Wojciech Golczewski, Transmission 21 – from End of Transmission 3 on French label Data Airlines. Synth transmissions, data streams ending in quiet dissolution.
Opening the B side is the second Bucla artist and amazing Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, I Miss The Way You Swim – from Thoughts on the Future on a couple of places. One of them being the Nettwerk label. Buchla explorations, missing the fluid motion, modular sighs and swells.
Now we head th New Zealand and, Liam Todd, as, ZHERAV, NAJA – from Naja Bazaar on London legends Batov Records. Bazaar echoes, middle eastern motifs twisted into contemporary electronic forms.
Now Toronto-based, Jordan Czamanski or, Jordan GCZ, I Said What I Said – from The Second Circle compilation on Italian label Neroli Records. Direct, unapologetic house rhythms, spoken truths over the beat.
Next Oslo based, Mikkel Haraldstad, better known as, Mikkel Rev, Desolate Plains – from the 2025 label compilation mixed by todos, on A Strangely Isolated Place. Wide, empty landscapes in techno guise, desolate yet compelling.
And now Portland based label curator Eric Angelo Bessel, Double Helix – from Mirror at Night on his Lore City Music label. Spiralling structures, night mirrors reflecting genetic twists in sound.
The penultimate track of episode 171 comes from Russian artist Aleksander Tochilkin who we know as Koett, Lost Time – from Lost Time pre-release, which is an odd title for an EP that was released in 2013 on Dutch label Atomnation. Time slipping away, recaptured in melancholic electronic memory.
And finally on the episode I present to you, the fifth exclusive from Isle of Lewis based, Ali Murray or The Lonely Bell, Elsewhere – from his upcoming release Time Lost. Preorder on the Oscaron label from the 30 January. Tones ringing from somewhere distant, elsewhere indeed.
And as the reels slow and the tape begins to slacken, a few words before the silence returns. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for playlists or quick scrolls. They’re for those who still let music occupy real time. Support the artists where you can – Bandcamp pages, labels, whatever small act keeps the chain intact. Whisper their names if you like; the void listens sometimes.
This episode streams on Mixcloud, free for a week as usual. Links, credits, the full tracklist – all at trevor.se and in the comments. Say something there if the mood takes you. Or say nothing. Either way suits.
Until the next time the cassette turns over – stay resonant.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 170
21 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 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.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 169
17 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.
This is Trevor here, on the 17th of January 2026. Bringing you Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, cassette number 169.
Two sides, as ever. A flip in the middle. Twenty names scratched onto the insert in biro that’s starting to fade.
We begin Side A, with Lisbon Portugal based JB Kyron and Tony Watts who together call themselves Hidden Horse — Trespass Into The Maze from their forthcoming release Renewer and also on the
upcoming vinyl compilation Extracellular — from Buried Treasure. Which, at the moment can only be heard on CD when you purchase a Gig Ticket Promo. A gig featuring some great acts highlighting avant-garde abstraction & hip-swinging electronica which takes place at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, in Reading, on the 28th of February. Tickets are only 6 pounds. A no brainer if you’re in that neck of the woods.
Trespass Into The Maze is a slow unfurling of field recordings and distant bells, like walking through fog that remembers your footsteps.
So headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the frequencies claim you.
Next up is Scottish artist.
Veryan — and the remix version of Needles At The Bottom Of The Sea, by Jules Straw aka, Pinklogik. Taken from the three track, name your price, self released, Broken Mirrors EP.
Deep sub-aquatic drift, pulses that rise and fall like breath under pressure.
Dolphins of Venice — Guldschmitt
From Captains of Industry — Mahorka.
Golden drones meet faint mechanical clatter, somewhere between Venice canals and abandoned factories.
Coming up the channels best friend in the form of Gareth Evans also known as Horrowdwarf or HDRF — here with one of the many great tracks from my own curated 45 track compilation Resonances From The Depths. Gareth is one of those people you’re happy to have on the planet, and deserves at least a plaque for being himself.
Layered aquatic melancholy, synths that bubble and subside without ever quite surfacing. HDRF, But Drowning.
Now some damp drones from Mosaicist — Unseen For The Day
From The Fog Is Lifting — released back in November on Whitelabrecs.
Quiet guitar figures dissolve into haze, the sound of light slowly leaving a room.
Now another track from that Buried treasure Extracellular compilation from
Domotic — Ossature. Originally released on the self released Fourrure Sounds Vol. 2 —
Bone-dry textures and soft fur-like pads, intimate and strangely tactile with bonkers bubbling percussive sequences.
Next up LA based Steve Pacheco takes us out into the clouds with — Aspen Grove
From Islas Calm Cloud — Whitelabrecs.
Gentle wind through high branches, sparse piano notes caught in the aspens.
Now from Antwerp, Belgium Gregory Geerts also known as, Strangebird~Sounds brings us some Eurorack modular magic with the track — FLUORITE
From Minerals Form The Crust
Crystalline resonances, mineral shimmer that feels both ancient and newly formed. Released on Audiobulb Records yesterday.
Another exclusive track also from Audiobulb records now from idiiom wonderful improvised vocalisations in the title track Neural Network dropping on the 7th of February.
Glitching, half-remembered machine dreams, edges that blur between code and consciousness.
Finishing off the A side is an artists I played yesterday on the EXPANSIVE WAVES episode. This is applecore — fmbient
From Contact At The Deep Bottom — a name your price release that dropped on the 11th of January via the Mahorka label.
Warm, lo-fi ambient hum, like a distant server farm breathing in the night.
Side B
Starting of the second half of the show is a release from yesterday from Argentinian synthesist Ulises Labaronnie — Evening thoughts
From Cycles De Mémoire — Cyclical Dreams.
Reflective, almost elegiac pads that drift through twilight memory.
And now Bernard Grancher — with, excuse my French, Sous les flots incertains et la fange du matin, which translates as Under the uncertain floods and the mire of the morning
From Astra Lumen Solaria which dropped January 6th on artist curated label Astra Solaria Recordings.
Blissful retro synth currents, morning mud, slow and deliberate.
Gareth Jones — erSprach
From Mortality Tables single — released January 12th on Mortality Tables.
Odd sampled fragments, suspended in vast reverb, half incantation.
And now the brothers Clive and Mark Ives also known as Woo — Abstract Objects
From the album M=C — Self released on the 21st of December.
Floating, free-form abstraction, gentle percussion that never quite commits to rhythm.
Some deep drone now from the legends The Black Dog — Sleep Deprivation 44: Frayed Edges Consciousness
From The Black Dog Presents Sleep Deprivation Greatest Hits Vol. 3.
Exhausted, fraying electronics, the sound of a mind at 4 a.m. still refusing to shut down.
Now a name we’ve all grown up with in Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk fame here with the track Another Reality
From the compilation Bureau B 2025
Kosmische pulse, clean and measured, a doorway left ajar to somewhere parallel.
We head back to Whitelabrecs and a release that dropped today in the form of the must have compilation Sleeplaboratory6.0 here is French artist Eric Allietta better known as Ancient Astronaut — Lightened.
Weightless drift, light slowly returning after long dark.
Rutger Zuydervelt — House of Strength
From House of Strength — released last November on the amazing Dutch label, Dronarivm.
Architectural drones, solid yet permeable, like walking through rooms made of sound.
The penultimate piece from the episode is also an exclusive track from Third Kind Records 5 quid subscription service which entitles subscribers to exclusive stuff as well as 50% off merch.
Rupert Lally & Nicholas Langley — Acid Pavilions
Acid-touched modular wanderings, pavilions erected and dismantled in the same breath.
Before the reels slow, a few words.
Thanks for staying with it. These tapes aren’t made for playlists or algorithms.
They’re made for the hours when the rest of the world has gone quiet.
If anything here stayed with you, find the artists, buy the music, keep the small labels breathing.
Stream this one on Mixcloud while it lasts, links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments.
Say something if the mood takes you. Or say nothing. Both are fine.
I was recently back in Dublin for a few days and met with a couple of my closest friends from the past. At the honorary pub session there was excitement about this final act. Who are new to me oddly. Thanks to Garret and Graham for the heads up. This is
Thee Oh Sees — Toe Cutter – Thumb Buster
From Floating Coffin — Self released
Garage-psych motorik churn, the only moment tonight where things get properly physical.
Until the next cassette finds its way into the deck—stay resonant.
Trevor, signing off.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 168
15 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.
Here is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library – episode 168.
Here on the virtual deck tonight, another selection pulled from the shelves of the library. Electronic currents, ambient drifts, synthesizer explorations, some deep techno pulses, kosmische traces, italian library breaks, and a few passages into hauntology and experimental corners.
We begin side A.
Steve Hauschildt – Statue of Verdigris – from Aeropsia
A shimmering, verdant drift of modular synth layers from Tbilisi, Georgia that feels permanently suspended in early morning light. Available through Simul Records.
Here is 6 minutes from Awe Kid – Eve (Max Cooper Remix) – from Atomnation 2025 Compilation 2
Intricate, breathing jungle rework with crystalline rhythms and vast open skies. The first of two works from this great compilation.
Saïph – Tellurkraft – from Accentape007: Saïph – Teriak 2
Staying in the beat section we have dense, rolling dubtechno pressure from Paris, heavy with reverb tails and mineral undertones.
Let’s take it down with VVvrm – Nightwatch – from Praise the Hidden Path
Shadowy, nocturnal dungeon synth that guards the gates between worlds. Bringing us back to, or into, gaming mode.
Coming up wonderful 5/8 timings with Portland Vows – Algor – from Living Posthumously
Bleak, isolationist dark ambient from the Pacific Northwest, cold wind across abandoned concrete. On the amazing Third Kind Record label.
Short and sweet with Suncastle – Evenbloom – from Like Failing Clockwork
Gentle, nature synth drift, soft blooms unfolding across a failing, crackling, mechanical horizon. Available through Triplicate records.
Epic drones coming up from Gidge – Whiteout – from Atomnation 2025 Compilation 2
Sweeping, melodic techno from Sweden with white-noise horizons and distant emotional thunder. The second piece from this must have Atomisation release.
Bringing back some percussive elements with Monoparts – Scattered Parts – from 2025 Label Compilation mixed by Todos (A Strangely Isolated Place)
Fragmented IDM constructions, delicate and quietly chaotic.
Here comes almost 6 minutes of dub from Shadow Dancer – Bom20 – from 1997-1998 Unreleased
Raw, vintage Chicago acid lines via Manchester unearthed from the late 90s archive. Self Released.
Coming up the last entry for the A side and the most adventurous outing of the show I dare say. Just under 6 minutes from aeon – Sora (adagio for shrimps) – from the compilation Resonances from the Depths
Submerged, watery electroacoustic meditation with strange, gentle crustacean lullabies. Recorded with real live shrimps. aeon is a top friend of the channel and this is a piece from my second compilation outing available via the Trevlad Bandcamp page.
(tape slows… mechanical clunk… flip… tape leader hiss)
More atmospheres from distant places tonight – Sweden, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Norway, and even a whisper from Argentina.
Scottish artist Moray Newlands – The Recesses – another one from my own Murmurs in the Mist compilation.
Quiet, misty drone passages that linger in forgotten corridors. It’s so nice to see the artists from my releases getting airplay out there. Don’t forget to send in your entries for the upcoming Puzzles of the Psyche compilation before March 26th.
And now two minutes of bliss from Nicholas Langley – 1996 – from Entropy Soundtracks & Ambients Volume 2 (Third Kind Records)
Nostalgic 90s hauntology, crackling with the ghosts of old TV idents. If you think I’ve being playing a lot from Third Kind Records lately it’s because they sent me their entire discography. Hint hint, wink wink, say no more.
Meftah – 7 – from The Second Circle (Neroli Records)
Minimal, 7/8 timed hypnotic pulse carved from deep Parisian shadows.
The legendary Kid Spatula – Spitalfield – from Joozy (Mike Paradinas aka Mu-ziq aka Kid Spatula
Playful, skewed IDM with bright, wonky angles. and a fantastic synth bass line. Another one available through Third Kind Records.
And here’s another great bass line but from the 70s with a short one by Rocchi, Godi, Chiarosi or the Modern Sound Quartet – Confabulante – from Italian Library Breaks (Four Flies Records)
Funky, swinging library groove straight out of Milan, on another channel supporting label.
A clear nod to Kraftwerk coming now with the longest piece on the episode clocking in at 7 minutes 28 seconds from Michael Brückner – Sequential Blue – from A Sequence of Colours (Cyclical Dreams) Massive shoutout to Pablo from the label who sends me all the latest from the label.
Berlin School sequences that ripple outward in deep azure waves.
Another one on the longer side at 5:48 from Trem 77 – Aepochs – from the album of the same name.
Cosmic, expansive synthesizer music that stretches across epochs. Thank you to the artist for sending me this and for the kind words about the channel. Don’t forget to send stuff you’d like to hear me play. It doesn’t have to be your own.
And now for something completely different with some short exclusive soul vibes from Norwegian Les Imprimés – Next Summer – from Fading Forward
Warm, sweet soul with gentle indie touches, looking toward brighter days. Coming soon on Big Crown Records and Colemine Records.
Al Lover Meets Cairo Liberation Front – Level 5 – from Nymphaea Caerulea
Psychedelic dub ritual, heavy percussion meeting ancient plant visions. Out on the amazing Gothenburg Sweden based label Höga Nord Rekords.
Now to end episode 168 of The Virtual Cassette Library I bring you some haunted piano from Swoop and Cross – Elco eda – from On the Grounds of Indecency (Perceptual Tapes)
Strange, off-kilter experimental soundscape with hidden narratives.
And that concludes episode 168. Thanks for staying with the tape right to the end. Until the next flip. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 165
10 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, Trevor here, and this is the all new Virtual Cassette Library and episode one‑six‑five.
First up we have the La Ponto Ensemblo which is actually a duo made up of Hans-Dieter Schmidt and Edward-Clark Cornell who together make delicate and harsh neo-classical pieces. This is track five from their latest release Fragile Objects: In A Harsh Environment.
Headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.
Next up an old favourite of mine in the form of fellow Irishman David K. Mason. Better known as Listening Center. Mason is now based in New York and runs the rather fantastic Temporary tapes label. Although this track, Plugged In Nollaig, (nollaig being Irish for Christmas) is from the Subexotic Records compilation EP Yule 25.
Just a heads up, 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.
Now next up the original sounds of Sam Prekop. Sam is a master of modular synthesis. This is the title track from his latest release Open Close which is available through Thrill Jockey Records.
Now Mark Donlon also known as CZiGO with the dare I say jazz fusion injected piece, SERPITUDE, from his album, Techno Feudal. The latest to drop on New Zealand based Machine Records.
Now Russian artist NDORFIK with the Idm vibe Saimaa which is named after a Finnish lake and here is given a Finnish remix by the legendary Lackluster. The album of the same name is available through the Local Gods label.
Next up is from the i u we records label. A label focussing on the beauty of female diversity in electronic music.
The artist is Silver Galaky and is a duo made up of Anna-Maria Van Reusel on modular and keyboard synthesizers, and usually a very imaginative guitarist Dennis Slypen. Although this piece might well be just anna letting loose on her 5U Moon Modular system. The track is Strahlensammler and is from the upcoming compilation release connected #3. Dropping on i u we records on the 20th of January.
Now one of my favourite Swedish artists at the moment. Albin Johansson who simply goes by the name Albin. Everything Albin has released is gold. He has that retro library music ear which I cherish. This is the title track from the name your price EP DFAM which I believe is entirely written on the Moog Drummer From Another Mother. Albin is also a curator of the Malmö label Paltunes. Let’s go.
And now staying in Sweden in a way. from my neighbours up the road Passed Recordings recent, must have Chrimbo compilation The Ghost of Christmas passed I’ve pulled another great track from the 35 piece strong release in the form of this short entry, Snowfields by the artist Angel who I no nothing about. Enjoy…
Next up a long live piece I’ve kept its entirety for the episode. This is the artist Ryan Watts who goes by the wonderful name of Akira Film Script. Here with the piece E. Not to be confused with E or E.. Which are tracks on the same album titled Live at the Modern. It’s released on a label you should all know by now, whitelabrecs run by the unstoppable Harry Towell.
And now to end the virtual A side another figure of the ambient scene who does more than his fair share, Boris Potschubay who we all know as Jogging House. Boris curates the fantastic label Seil Records on which he has released the album Kiosk. Here he is with the track Worn.
Starting off the B side was the wonderful harp-like piano sounds and jazz phrasings of Brooklyn based artist Eliot Krimsky with the track, Transmission, from the album, I Made My House. Out on the outstanding Moon Glyph
Next a track of my own titled Trunk Stubbed Wiser which is a What3Words geographical location where I’ve filmed a visual to go with the piece on youtube.
It’s from the album TVCL 07.
Now a legend who for me embodies the late 90s IDM mood. French artist Alain Pachins, better known as, CIALYN here with a live take called, Last Lights / Winds Reader, from the album, 24:1900 Session Live.
Now to Melbourne bassist and producer Karl Willebrant. The ultra prolific Willebrant has released two albums since the release of The Knight Seas which was released in November. Here is an almost 11 minute treat, Thoughts of Them (A Knight on a Beach Mix – slowed and reverb)
Next up the unmistakable organic electronic sound of KILN which is actually a group made up of Kevin Hayes, Kirk Marrison, and Clark Rehberg III. Here is a track from their 8th album, Lemon Borealis. Which was released on the wonderful label, A Strangely Isolated Place. This is Ptarmigan which is a form of grouse found in northern and arctic regions.
And now a short piece from the fun Dutch artist Toxic Chicken. This is the track, Inner Worlds, from the album, Felicity out on the brilliant label Ingrown Records.
Staying with Ingrown Records, here is another quicky, from label curator, Raw Ryan , here as the artist, Anubis Rude, and the 37 second ditty, Spirit Bell, from the album, Explorer. Support the Ingrown Records label. It’s needed.
Next up Jason Courtney aka, In Darkness There Is Light shortened to (IDTiL),
and another Machine Records release titled, A Screensaver Of Emotions, this is the pumping minute long, Ahhhh Sequence.
Now to the penultimate track and something different from British born, Vienna based, Mark Peter Royce Featuring Cecilia C from Tempestine and the track, Antidote, from the album Twilight in the Altered World.
We end with the beautiful ambient warblings of Collette Andrea who goes by the name Gollden. Collette helps curate the Toronto based label Imaginary North together with Daniel Field of Kilometre Club fame. Thank you all for tuning into episode 165 of the Virtual Cassette library. I hope you like its new direction. Sending us home is Gollden with, destiny #9, from the album, Destiny.

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, Trevor here, and this is episode one‑six‑four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Retain Happier Obeyed—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.
On the A side there’s an exclusive by Foster Neville titled, Mow Cop, from the album, Through Lands Of Ghosts. Dropping on the 16th of January via Subexotic Records.
On the B side there’s a sort of exclusive by Hendekagon. Who’ve done a magical soundtrack to accompany the book Die Verschiebung der Zeit (The shift in time) by Corina Retzlaff out on Adventurous Music.
Also the track, Magical Interval, by John Haughey & Tarotplane is from their up coming Woodford Halse release called, WF 98 – Errata.
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 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‑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.

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.”

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 161
30 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‑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.”

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 160
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 159
26 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‑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…”

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.

“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.
I’m Trevor, and I present to you ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. You’ll hear Downscope on Unexplained Sounds Group, Blank Thomas from Third Kind Records, and Akasha System shaping haunted atmospheres. Bobby Freex appears via Buried Treasure, Ursula’s Cartridges on Ingrown, and Mick Chillage with Astronomy for Beginners. 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.
The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre‑order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. Remember, every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.
