Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 319
Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes, which in my experience is usually Tuesdays, or during eclipses, or when the kettle boils. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-set outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread. Unless you look. Don’t look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A clock that insists the world is already the argument, then a house that hums because it was cursed to.
Side A opens the door unlatched on a cuckoo that has already said what it came to say, builds a choir from stones that will not give the words, fidgets in Latin for a sound that will not sit still, files tears under ocean and returns the glass, sets a plate for a love that left no chair pushed in, and steps into a puddle that learned to be a room. Side B runs a rite hotter than the room agreed to, cuts a faun from the seventh tray of stones, reaches the far point of an orbit, refuses a capital letter for nights that would rather not be introduced, walks the last few steps into silence, and keeps the hymn book and the haunting on the same shelf.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly haunted, and quietly ritual — full of unlatched doors, lowercase dreams, and sanctuaries that sing whether you asked or not. Perfect for dusk listening, houses with a curse, or sitting still while the ripples never quite reach the edge.
Mood mist: a clock that insists the world is already the argument, a choir built from stones, Latin for a sound that will not sit still, tears filed under ocean, a love that left its plate, a puddle that learned to be a room.

Album: Sphere. Label: Métron Records
A sphere you can step in without wetting the hem. Métron counting the ripples that never reach the edge.

00:20:17 Electric Circus – High Fever
https://electriccircus3.bandcamp.com/track/high-fever-2

This has been The Virtual Cassette Library, episode 319.
Travel safely between the frequencies.
I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 315
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies.
Now imagine each episode as a colossal rotating stage — a great mechanical blooming lotus. You, the audience only ever glimpse a sliver of it at a time. Every artist is allotted the exact time it takes them to perform their piece. Then they rotate out of view, and the next act glides in. The stage spins at whatever speed the track demands.
The names of the artists and labels I’ll mention before each set — or “side,” as the cassette alchemists call them. Six little incantations per set, plus a general mist of what mood to expect.
Now the stage begins to turn.
Moss collecting light before the record exists, then tour days that travel only as far as their own shadow.
Side A gathers moss on a lotus that has not officially opened, parks Sol in the cat’s window, breaks Kerala dawn against industrial dusk, coils organisms above the weather, circumnavigates on a borrowed lighthouse, and smears 1982 until the hair still looks like a forecast. Side B lives in the umbra that remembers what cast it, opens water with no coastline drawn on it, retires speech for the evening, keeps a 2012 hold tone wearing pearls, jams Golden Acres until the punchline clocks out, and packs IDM for a journey only a shadow completes.
Overall mood: Contemplative, prismatic, and quietly migratory — full of exclusive October light, borrowed signals, and harbour lamps left on anyway. Perfect for dusk listening, hold music that never connects, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Shout out to my new subscriber Vivid Stars Forgotten. One more subscriber and we hit the Mixcloud minimum for a payout — the kind that keeps the channel’s lights on after dark. If you’ve been hovering at the door, this is the hour to step in.
Mood mist: moss collecting light before the record exists, a sun parked in the cat’s window, dawn as deconstructed club, organisms coiled above the weather, a borrowed lighthouse for a full orbit, 1982 seen through a lens that will not sharpen.
00:04:33 Ocean Moon & Silver Ley – Gathering Moss
https://oceanmoon.bandcamp.com/album/prismatic-fields
Exclusive track.
From the album: Prismatic Fields. Label: Open Universe. Releases: October 16, 2026

Soft Focus ’82. The year smeared just enough that the hair still looks like a forecast.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 266
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-266/
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 266. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps.
A gentle, introspective ambient journey through awareness, weightlessness, storms, and quiet reflection.
Side A moves from attentive listening and zero-gravity daydreams into open arms and sweltering heat. Side B drifts through afflicted warmth, dawn-to-dusk passage, dramatic storms, blank slates, mirrored reflections, and motivated absence.
Overall mood: Contemplative, tender, and atmospheric — balancing soft intimacy with moments of intensity. Ideal for deep listening, meditation, or peaceful solitude.
I’ll introduce Side A now and Side B in the intermission. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 1 089 other shows whenever they like.
As a subscriber you also get access to my new series Veil Frequencies based on a fictional world I’ve created called The Resonant Veil Enclave. Each episode is around three hours and recorded from one of the floors of the 24 buildings in the veil. You can read about it on my Substack page. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures.
On this TVCL episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Japanese sound artist yolabmi rouses us with their soundworld in the track “Awareness” from the album “Internal Resurrection” available via the wonderful Lithuanian label Amulet of Tears.
Followed by the collaboration of Tobias Lorsbach aka Logic Moon and JJ Rogalski aka Piscean Daydreams in their deep drone, space ambient track “Life in Zero Gravity” from the album Musica Universalis which you can get through Chitra Records sub label Ambient Cat.
Then Paris based Italian modular composer Alessandro De Nicola bathes us in drone in the track titled “Open Arms” from the 27 track double baby pink cassette compilation “Connection: sculpting silence” from 2024 out on Hylé Tapes.
The penultimate track of the first side of the virtual cassette is by Danish artist øjeRum (eye space), and their piece titled “Et Pust I Sivet”(A Breath Among the Reeds) from the 2022 album Butterfly Tongues More Ancient Than Flowers. Available through Amulet of Tears.
Finishing off the first half is Cincinnati, Ohio based friend Ed Herbers with a track many of us have felt recently titled “Sweltering” from the third of his four part album series titled “Season Cycle: Summer” from the always brilliant Passed Recordings label.
But first, to set the vibe is British producer Ryan Bissett, aka Halftribe, with a gentle, atmospheric invitation into the episode via the track “Listen” from the album “Disappear in Silent Ways” out on Dutch label DRONARIVM.
Now settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
One side flip, just the music.
Welcome to the B side. Six tracks down and six to go.
You’ll hear Rick Jones better known as Dark Fidelity Hi Fi in a short colourful cascade in the track “Dawn To Dusk Passenger” from the Limited Edition CD album “Your Skyline Correspondent” and that’s out on Glasgow based super label Bricolage.
After that Minneapolis, Minnesota based duo Amy McNally and Matthew Hiram aka Visible Light with their immersive field recordings from El Yunque Bosque Nacional, Puerto Rico and a piece titled “La Tormenta” (The Storm) from the eco-friendly CD EP Sierra de Luquillo: A Living Soundscape.
Then Los Angeles, California based friend David Strother brings the track that inspired this episode titled “Tabula Rasa” a short suggestive violin piece from his latest release “A Brilliant Midnight”.
Then the penultimate track for today comes in the form of another track from that wonderful Hylé Tapes compilation “Connection: sculpting silence” this time by the amazing modular artist Andrea Cichecki and the bubbling sounds of “Mirrored reflections”.
Finishing us off is Québec based artist Mathieu Lamontagne better known as Arbee and the modular based track “Absence motivée” (excused absence) from the album “En vain” (In Vain) out on the ever astounding Ambient Cat label.
But first, Anthony Asher-Yates the artist behind Bålsam with a highly personal ambient track titled “Afligido” (Afflicted) from the album “Soñador” (Dreamer), available on a stunning cassette release from DRONARIVM sister label Le Mont Analogue, Enjoy…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 255
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 255. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps.
A gentle, nature-infused, and introspective ambient journey through seasons, plants, and storytelling.
Side A flows from sunny rain and clear ambiguity into fleeting glimpses, resigned beauty, and rhythmic patterns. Side B gathers around campfires, buoys, synesthetic storms, momentary drifts, and golden mystical pillars.
Overall mood: Warm, contemplative, and quietly wondrous with a strong connection to nature and emotion. Perfect for deep relaxation, morning listening, or peaceful reflection.
Episode 255 is based on the track “Buoy.” by “Willebrant” from the release “Selected Works – Slowed and Reverb, Volume 2”. Which Australian artist Karl Willebrant sent me a couple of days back. The track is over 13 minutes long so it should be on an episode of Expansive Waves which is my long form music show. For the moment that’s on hold as I don’t have the will to do one. Mainly from lack of time but also from having to pay for the shows myself as I’m still, after years of trying, missing 2 subscribers from the channel in order to get a payout from Mixcloud. It’s super frustrating dangling on that edge for so long.
Anyway a massive shout out to Richard Francés of Hylé Tapes for sending me their catalogue of wonderful releases. You’ll be hearing lots from Hylé Tapes in the near future.
In other news, Substak has entered a track for my next compilation release “Quiet Figures”. Get your entry in before September 24th and join him and The Earl of Dean. Details on the Bandcamp page.

Also the fantastic collaboration of zakè, Ossa, ASC with a release on zakés own Bandcamp page.
Ending the episode is Danish artist øjeRum with a release on Lithuanian label Amulet of Tears who has also supported the channel with loads of releases.
But first out to start the ball rolling Toronto based artist Chad Skinner also known as Sun Rain with his track May from the Imaginary North release Lake Effect: Quiet Music From Toronto.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 139
3 November 2025
///caravan.grew.vaccines.
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 138 of The Virtual Cassette Library.
Caravan Grew Vaccines is the episodes subtitle, as well as the track you’re hearing in the background and it’s geographical location which I’ve filmed and can be experienced on YouTube.
I’m Trevor and I curate these 90-minute genre bending drifts through frequencies from around the globe. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion. Two, 45 minute mixes, 15 tracks per side with a side change in the middle.
Picture the listening experience like being at a music festival where the artists play on a rotating stage. Each act is allotted time for their piece and as it ends the next act takes over rotating into view.
Styles for this episode range from IDM to neo classical, from ritual ambient to jazz-funk. The musical keys in focus are B major and G sharp minor, A flat minor.
This episode contains some household names like Greg Foat, Jogging House and Sven Wunder. Some friends of the channel like odd person, Henrik Meierkord and The British Stereo Collective, as well as some supporting labels like oscarson, moniker eggplant, ingrown records, whitelabrecs, mahorka and Cyclical Dreams. All the artists and labels are the soul of this show.
If you’d like to be included on future episodes send your art to trevlad@gmail.com. Links to all the tracks are illuminated at trevor.se and marked in each episode’s Mixcloud timeline.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 124
1 October 2025
///revival.brightly.debating.
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at the coordinates ///revival.brightly.debating—Episode 124 of The Virtual Cassette Library. A title, a signal, a portal. Drop it into What3Words and you’ll locate the visual echo of this transmission.
The track you’re hearing—“Revival Brightly Debating”—isn’t just the name of the episode. It’s the pulse beneath my voice, the gravitational center of today’s journey. Available for pre-order on Bandcamp, already whispering through YouTube, it sets the tone for what’s to come.
Today’s mix is a 90-minute drift through curated frequencies—designed for walking meditations, mental meanderings, and quiet communion with the cosmos. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion.
🌀 Side A opens with Eje Eje’s “Oyun Çorbasi,” Warmfield’s “On Fresh Air,” and Ben Holton’s “The Silken Way.” Swoop and Cross bring us into an “Old Kind World,” before I land us in “Landed Embraced Deaf.” Ranga, Akira Film Script, and blochemy shape the middle arc, while The Green Kingdom and d’Voxx close the side with crystalline textures and modular echoes.
🌊 Side B flips the signal with Autistici & Russ Young’s “Dissolved In Light,” Barker’s “Stochastic Drift,” and KATE NV’s instrumental “Telefon.” autumna, Fred Thomas, and BVSMV stretch the spectrum, while Perry Frank and o[rlawren] bring us skyward and inward. Dolly Dolly & Fogroom, weareforests, Ida Urd & Ingri Høyland, and Philippe Neau guide us gently to the final fade.
💌 Want to be part of the transmission? Send your art to trevlad@gmail.com. Purchase paths are always illuminated at trevor.se and marked in each episode’s Mixcloud timeline.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 05
Welcome to the fifth outing of Expansive Waves. A space and a place for long form music. Each episode contains 8 pieces that must be over the 12 minute mark. I’m Trevor and I’ll be guiding you through these landscapes. A series devoted to meditative drift, ambient architecture, and experimental resonance.
The Observatory Opens Welcome. Now we gather in a hushed celestial chamber where frequencies bloom like night flowers and time slips quietly sideways. Each track is not merely heard—it’s stepped into, like a half-remembered dream carved in sound. Come closer… The door is already open.
