Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 348
Hi folks and welcome to onward & upward episode 348 of my Virtual cassette library. Happy Saturday and I hope your Bandcamp Friday went down in History. I myself appear on my first physical release on the mindblowing compilation Volume Two from the fantastic The Synthesis Co-Op. It’s probably a physical release I’ll never see but I’m happy that so many UK listeners get to hold it. It has a zine too. Everything is pretty much sold out after yesterdays release. There are cassettes and zines left as far as I can tell. Speaking of cassettes I’m sending actual physical mix tapes to new subscribers or tip givers which I thought was a great idea but so far I have only managed to lose a subscriber.
Anyway on to the show and the first side will include Ghostloop, Lord Cernunnos, TRAINDEER, Dave Clarkson and finally On Idyl .
Side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you just breath.
Also shout outs to Dave Clarkson, Pablo Bilbao of Cyclical Dreams. All the artists and labels featured in the episode and the followers that have favourited the shows.
First off is Gollden with “onward & upward” from her album Sundial which was supposed to be released through the Anjunabeats label in October but seems only to be available on streaming platforms. Written and recorded during the depths of late fall and Canadian winter exploring themes of loss, grief, uncertainty, and finding your own light when everything around you begins to go dark. A fitting opener to todays episode Enjoy…
Welcome to the intermission or the flip side. You just heard the track “Cast Upon the Shores of the Unknown” by Bellingham’s finest On Idyl from that wonderful compilation The Synthesis Co-Op Volume Two of yours truely am lucky enough to share a space with 16 other amazing artists. Remember If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is considered. The next set will feature midorinozu, Oberlin, Nick May, Ocean Moon & Silver Ley and K Man The Phantom. But first Mindheal with the track “Wish You Weren’t Here”. Enjoy…
These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.
Onward and upward through a sundial, then an egungun among the skeletons.
Side A finds the light with the winter already behind her, lets the rain arrive after all with the distant sea kind, lifts the flying cars over a cityscape already beneath them, raises the kanashibari from dust to dawn, loses itself in an abandoned location of the British Isles, and is cast upon the shores of the unknown that is already welcoming. Side B speaks the wish that someone weren’t here so the space can open, moves the arc so the horizon is lost and found, names the Odiliengarten with the ways already further, softens the crash into a lost piece that is kept, shifts the light across prismatic fields, and dances the egungun while the skeleton listens.
Overall mood: Lifted, and quietly open — full of found light, welcoming shores, and spirits already dancing. Perfect for dusk listening, soft cityscapes, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: onward and upward through a sundial, rain that arrives after all, flying cars over a cityscape, a kanashibari from dust to dawn, a loss in an abandoned location, a casting upon the shores of the unknown.

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…”

Welcome, wanderers of unseen frequencies. This is not mere sound—it is a symphony of lost echoes from forgotten futures. You do not just listen; you surrender to the unfolding spiral of auditory prophecy.
🔮 The architects of the spectral weave on todays episode are—Four Flies Records, Ingrown Records, Cyclical Dreams, Downstream Records, Third Kind Records, Perceptual Tapes, and Imaginary North 🚀 The conjurers—Saloop, Philippe Deschamps, Sons Of Faust, and, Loris S Sarid—shaping resonance into portals, constructing corridors within the void. 🎭 The benevolent force—Free Album Codes—a beacon in the static, ensuring the lost frequencies find their way home.
A soundscape beyond language. Reality wavers, sound bends, and we—the cosmic conductors—are merely passengers in the infinite wave.
🔹 Artists, experimenters, visionaries—cast your offerings into the ether. The portal stands open: trevlad@gmail.com. 🔹 Leave your spectral imprint, your timestamp upon the celestial mixtape—mark your passage, trace your essence.
🔮 Prepare for immersion. Secure your headphones. Let’s dissolve time together. 🚀✨

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 329
Fascinate
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-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread. Unless you look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A cruise along a signposted road, then a heart lit in a place still waiting for its name.
Side A follows the signs with the construct still standing and happy to drive, keeps the face continuous from one frame to the next, files a polite plea under the smear-test disasters, numbers the first fluid from dust to dawn, lets the shade learn a lyric behind a half-drawn curtain, and fascinates with the fungus that holds the wood together. Side B glows umber between brown and light, posts a New Penzance Island from the film, keeps the last note of a reef in its feathers, chirps a zither small enough for a beak, leans into petrol and jasmine on the same camber, and leaves the light on in a town the map has yet to label.
Overall mood: Slightly luminous, and quietly named — full of half-drawn curtains, open lanes, and places still waiting for their labels. Perfect for dusk drives, roads that know the way, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: a cruise along a signposted road, a mask that keeps the face continuous, a helpdesk in the comments, a fluid numbered one, shade singing its own name, wildlife that has decided to fascinate.
00:00:00 BUNKR – Cruisen
https://bunkr-music.bandcamp.com/track/cruisen
Album: Signs. Label: VLSI Records

00:16:50 Hiram – Tsel

The shadow learning a lyric. Matthew Hiram leaving the curtain half-drawn on purpose.
00:19:28 Polypores – Fascinate
https://auralcanyonmusic.bandcamp.com/track/fascinate
Album: Wildlife. Label: Aural Canyon
The fungus that holds the wood together, and the title of the hour. Look closely. The thread is there.
Side B
Mood mist: an umber that has learned to glow, an island named after a film, a last song from a reef, a zither chirping under the canopy, petrol and jasmine sharing a camber, a heart lit in a place still waiting for its name.
00:25:08 Ocean Moon & Silver Ley – Glowing Umber
(Exclusive track)
Album: Prismatic Fields. Label: Open Universe

https://aidanbaker.bandcamp.com/track/petrol-jasmin

The bend that asks you to lean. Broken Spine keeping both scents in the same bottle.

https://imaginarynorth.bandcamp.com/track/glowing-heart
Album: Names of Unknown Places. Label: Imaginary North
The light still on in a town the map has yet to label.
