Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 288

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-288/

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another fragile spool of the 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.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
A quiet, city-tinged ambient journey through perpetual urban grids, eternal depths, and the soft machinery of passing years.
Side A locks everyday Koenji sounds into rhythm, then opens through cello harmonics, Saturn wings, impenetrable fog, Manchester distance, and autumn-orange strings. Side B settles into shed-piano birdsong, moments held in arms, calm pieces, inner recovery landscapes, laundry-line breath, and a paper machine marking quiet growth.
Overall mood: Contemplative, gently textured, and intimate — blending urban observation with personal stillness and soft analogue warmth. Perfect for focused listening, late evenings, or sitting with the ordinary as it slowly transforms.
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 receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.

The tape unspools its visions.

00:03:28 Nonturn – Perpetual
Koenji fragments lock onto a 96 BPM grid. Nonturn – Perpetual. Traffic signals, footsteps, air conditioners and passing cars become rhythm and texture. The everyday city turns into a private miniature world of repeating surfaces.
00:10:03 Jupi/ter – 13 (feat. Henrik Meierkord, Sole Gipp Ossler)
Thirteen rises with cello and additional voices. Jupi/ter – 13 (feat. Henrik Meierkord, Sole Gipp Ossler). Tones stretch and interweave across open harmonic space.
00:15:58 Brannan Lane – Wings of Saturn
Wings of Saturn fold space for instantaneous travel. Brannan Lane – Wings of Saturn. Vast evolving soundscapes open for relaxation, focus and faster-than-light passage through distorted fabric.
00:18:28 Field Lines Cartographer – Eternal Depths
Eternal depths descend in impenetrable fog. Field Lines Cartographer – Eternal Depths. Blackness holds the gaze. Helicopter noise drifts overhead while a mug shatters like a pistol shot in the eclipsed room. Secrets remain unanswered.
00:25:22 Dark Fidelity Hi Fi – Distance
Distance opens in colourful cascades of keys and pads. Dark Fidelity Hi Fi – Distance. Crystalline percussion and radiant bass carry melodies of love, memories and acceptance across a Manchester skyline.
00:27:59 Trem 77 – Autumn Orange Spectrum (Strings Mix)
Autumn orange spectrum paints with treated strings. Trem 77 – Autumn Orange Spectrum (Strings Mix). Sandpaper distortion and powdery modulated dust turn sound into tangible grain. Forms stay in perpetual transience while Henrik Meierkord’s strings leave the final auditory thought.

The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.

00:36:34 Josaleigh Pollett – Shed Piano, Birds
Shed piano and birds gather in Salt Lake and Osaka light. Josaleigh Pollett – Shed Piano, Birds. Voices layer across folk-tinged electronic pop. Experimentation and songwriting open spaces for the listener to enter.
00:38:26 mRn – Cada Momento En Tus Brazos
Cada momento stays held in your arms. mRn – Cada Momento En Tus Brazos. Soft currents of presence move without hurry.
00:41:36 Calm Pieces – Dodes’ka-den
Dodes’ka-den arrives as calm pieces. Calm Pieces – Dodes’ka-den. Quiet motion settles into patient listening.
00:44:30 survey channel – Inner Landscape
Inner landscape traces a cycle of recovery. survey channel – Inner Landscape. Atmospheric exploration breaks free from feedback loops toward genuine stillness.
00:49:37 Hiroaki Yamamoto – Breath
Breath moves between laundry lines. Hiroaki Yamamoto – Breath. Sheets, shirts and socks hang as an alphabet of ordinary things. Wind brushes the threads. A leaf has not yet decided where to fall. Day and night leave their scent on the bare lines.
00:52:22 hershel – paper machine for the passing years
A paper machine marks the passing years. hershel – paper machine for the passing years. Processed guitars, piano and cassette recordings blur into fluid forms. Small silent steps carry personal growth and quiet realisation.

The visions complete their circle.
The oxide continues its quiet journey until the end of the spool.

Also in the works: the next compilation, Quiet Figures, release date 26 September.
Uncover the narratives whispered by the silent, ever-present figures that shadow us, through compositions that unravel their hidden mysteries.
Does that stir anything?

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 273

www.mixcloud.com/dashboard/my-shows/published/

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 273. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
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.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
A soft, slightly quirky ambient journey through floating persistence, growth, residual hope, and quiet promises.
Side A drifts from stuffed repetition and first cultivations into remixes of light, machine minimalism, low flames, and mysterious beings. Side B moves through glitchy indexes, bubbling collaboration, woodland ghosts, emptiness, suspended paths, and ends on a gentle promise.
Overall mood: Contemplative, warm, and gently playful — full of soft textures and quiet emotional space. Perfect for deep listening, late mornings, or peaceful immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,098 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
Side A
On this episode you’ll hear young Italian composer and producer Luciano Masala, better known as hershel, with the floating piece “Stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy” from his debut album silent steps for a better way, available on CD from Whitelabrecs.
Then Estonia-based Paul Beaudoin invites us into adaptive drift with “1st Cultivation” from his brand-new release spores.dat, out on Sheffield’s Audiobulb.
Next, Wahn appears via a remix: Dissolved’s reworking of “Not All Is Lost”, taken from the album Re: Echo Mist Light, in which 18 artists remix Wahn’s classic Echo Mist Light. The release celebrates Bulgarian label Mahorka’s 500th release.
We’re back with Whitelabrecs for French composer Anthony Elfort (as Toàn) and the track “DEL 1”, created entirely on a single machine — the Deluge — from the album Solitarium.
Staying with Harry Towell’s wonderfully prolific Whitelabrecs, we hear a guitar-based gem from Michael Cottone’s long-running project The Green Kingdom: “By Low Flame”, taken from the soothing album Vespera.
Closing Side A is an exclusive from my upcoming compilation Quiet Figures: Brighton-based BUNKR with the vibrating “The Beings of Borde Hill”. The album currently features 11 artists including Anhnch, Cries from the LTN, Keith Seatman, BUNKR, The Gaye Device, HDRF, Simon Heartfield, The Earl of Dean, Graham Thorpe, Visionary Lines and Substak. There’s still time to submit — the window closes 24 September.
But first, to set the vibe: hershel with “Stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy”.
Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us.
One side flip. Just the music.
Side B
Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting.
You’ll hear UK-based Bibio together with Vienna’s Dorian Concept on their bubbling collaboration single “Shame”, out on Warp Records.
Then we revisit older Triplicate Records material with Nottingham’s George Evans (Suncastle) and the good-mood creation “Ghost in Trees” from the 2020 album Platformer.
Next we head to one of my favourite labels — the one-of-a-kind Cyclical Dreams from Buenos Aires — for a minimal track titled “Into Emptiness” by Trittau, Germany’s Christian Fiesel, taken from his recent release On A Second Thought.
Near the end we travel to Alfortville, France, for Japanese artist Hiroaki Yamamoto and the opening track “Paths” from his album Suspended in the Wind, the latest release on Driftworks.
And finally, from the excellent cassette compilation Connection: sculpting silence on French label Hylé Tapes, I leave you with Ekin Fil and Dominic Coppola’s wonderfully soothing “Promise To Never Be Like Them”.
But first, we return to 2020 and Santa Fe, New Mexico’s Richard Alfaro with the glitchy “Index”, taken from the Trip FM compilation Red Shift. Being six years old, it’s Name Your Price on Bandcamp — thank you to Triplicate Records for helping keep this channel sustainable.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 271

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-271/

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 271. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
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.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
A reflective, slightly mysterious ambient journey through memory, floating worlds, and quiet observation.
Side A drifts from cello warmth and barking flowers into micro-drones, memory death, and floating liminality. Side B moves through ghosts, watchful figures, dusty relics, field-recorded nostalgia, watery reflections, and ends in Borges-inspired shadow.
Overall mood: Contemplative, nostalgic, and gently enigmatic — full of soft transitions and quiet emotional depth. Perfect for late-night listening, deep focus, or peaceful solitude.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,095 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes.

Next, the trio of Zach Frizzell, Kaiton Slusher and James Clements — zakè, Ossa and ASC — open their remarkable album Microliths and Momentary Drifts with the delicate “Microlith 1”.
After that, a piece from Boards of Canada’s Inferno: the quietly devastating “Memory Death”, out on Warp Records of course.
Then a collaboration between Tomotsugu Nakamura and David Cordero: the floating “Ukiyo” (floating world) from the album Aware 哀れ which in Japanese translates as pity or sorrow. Thats out on the wonderful Home Normal label.
Closing Side A is Venezuelan artist Angelo Sanellix together with Mexican producer Justin Ortiz (as SpoonBeats), offering liminal ambience in “long time ago” from the album Distant Particles, released on the prolific Stockholm label Valley View Records.
But first, the opening track of the cassette: Henrik Meierkord & Suseti with “Hilate”.

One side flip. Just the music.
Side B

You’ll hear one of the strongest supporters of this channel — Gareth Evans, known here as HDRF — with an exclusive track from the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures (out 26 September). His piece is the wonderfully titled “Mr Baines (Is Watching You)”.
Then Scottish modular artist and Dustopian Frequencies curator Everyday Dust offers “Maria” from his latest album The Relic Room.
Next, Chesapeake, Virginia’s Ryan Watts (Akira Film Script), a long-time friend of the library and contributor to The Mystery of the Night. Here he brings the heavily field-recorded “N6-79” from Over Exposure on Driftworks. Shout-out to Andrew Heath for keeping that label so consistently excellent.
Near the end we drift through elemental sensations with Intact Veils (Kraków) and “Image of Water” from the album Saint Imago, released on The Artificial Pine.
And finally, Paul Haslinger and Christian Wittman close the tape with “Elogio de La Sombra” (In Praise of Shadow) from their album Borges — an immersive soundscape into the world of Jorge Luis Borges — on their own label NOION Music.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 212

Hypnotic and dreamlike, often sitting in liminal spaces.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 212 of the Virtual Cassette Library. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
This episode is based on the track “Tower of Butterflies” by Innis Chonnel & Loris S. Sarid from the album “Looking For Mount Sylvan” which dropped on the 10th of March via The 12th Isle label. Also a massive thank you to Driftworks, Lunar Module which is the CD imprint of Castles in Space, Audiobulb, Amulet of Tears, Trem 77, and Third Kind Records for sponsoring the episode with material.
This mix carries a moody, introspective, and slightly surreal nocturnal atmosphere. It moves through themes of isolation, transformation, thresholds, and fragile beauty. There’s a strong contrast between cold urban desolation and organic, fluttering delicacy — from concrete fields and body worms to towers of butterflies and sunlit solitude. The overall feeling is hypnotic and dreamlike, often sitting in liminal spaces (half-awake, melting forms, interrupted signals), with a subtle undercurrent of unease balanced by moments of quiet wonder and graceful movement.
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.
So 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.

00:06:37 Camp of Wolves – Little Black Eyes

00:10:33 Saïph – Psyché du figurant (128)
Abstract, hypnotic ambient/electronic exploration. Minimal rhythms and fragmented textures probe the psyche of an anonymous background figure—detached and surreal.
00:13:10 Ida Urd & Ingri Høyland– Melting Cubes
Fluid, dissolving ambient with geometric forms gradually breaking down. Soft, melting tones and crystalline details create a beautiful, impermanent sonic sculpture.
00:15:24 Future Children – New mythology part 3
Speculative, glowing ambient weaving contemporary myths. Warm, hopeful layers and subtle narrative movement suggest emerging stories for a new generation.
00:22:18 The Black Dog – Sleep Deprivation 39: Threshold Ov Wakefulness
Disorienting, liminal ambient from the legendary duo. Pulsing, sleep-deprived textures sit on the fragile edge between dreams and reality—tense and immersive.
00:25:53 Phexioenesystems – Body Worm
Organic, microscopic body-horror-tinged ambient. Creeping textures and intimate biological sounds evoke parasites, transformation, and internal hidden worlds.

Cold, crystalline ambient with a biting edge. Sharp yet beautiful frozen tones capture the painful beauty and isolation of extreme chill.

hey.
welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the drywall.
this is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. episode one-eight-eight.
we’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous, but really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the city outside forgets we exist.

bags.colder.inched.
a great Thai restaurant, apparently. now it’s a coordinate for whatever this episode is.

twenty artists. no schedule. drops when the mood hits.
labels haunting the margins: Passed Recordings, whitelabrecs, Ingrown, Audiobulb… you know the ones.
braindance, idm, alternative, whatever slips between the cracks like water through broken concrete.
Honolulu to Amsterdam to Prague to Saint Petersburg. the world’s shrinking but the weird pockets are still warm.

send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
send stories for Chord Confessions. that track that ruined you or saved you. i’ll read it in my sleep-voice or you record it yourself. win-win-win.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 185

16 March 2026

///square.corn.elevate

(Omnipollos Hatt)

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Welcome to Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, Episode 185, your virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. As per usual we’ll dive into 20 artists. All the shows have three word subtitles for places that have some meaning for me personally. These are also used as names for the background music in show intros and outros. This episodes’ subtitle is
If you’d like to be featured on the slowest growing show on the internet then send files or codes to trevlad@gmail.com
This episode has a bunch of artists from releases on the driftworks and whitelabrecs compilations ‘This Burnished Land’ and ‘An Ambient Decade’. Also a couple of tracks from the wonderful Passed Recordings label who were nice enough to write a Substack post about me.
There has been a break in the Virtual Cassette Library series. The last one was a whole week ago since then I’ve been busy working on the Chord Confessions series. And please do send in your stories about a piece of music that has been pivotal in your life. You can record it yourself or I can tell it for you while promoting you and playing the most important music on the planet. A win, win, win concept. I’ve also done a couple of Krautrock inspired sets and a couple of Female artist sets celebrating International women’s day. AND, I’ve started a new idea of mixing story telling with DJ sets where I do a story based on the tracks in the set. All these while doing 5 part time jobs.
A shout out to my one new follower this week ‘Citizens of Sound’ who are a dynamic podcast production agency that brings shows to life with gravity, handling everything from conception and branding to editing, mastering, management, and distribution for creators seeking impactful audio storytelling. They also seem to be involved with live events too. Great stuff…

We start with a couple of friends of the show who I believe made contact after appearing on the same compilation I released last December ‘Resonances from the Depths’ This is the New South Wales / Vancouver collaboration CommsBreakdown + Socool – My Brain Feels So Good (CommsBreakdown Mix)
filtered guitar flickers like neon through rain-smeared windows, bass hugs the ribs, oh the snare snaps dopamine straight into the bloodstream, feet move before the mind catches up, so good so good so good…

That was My Brain Feels So Good by CommsBreakdown together with Socool
And now whitelabrecs label curator Harry Towell – The Arrival from the album Infinite Light.
horizon line shimmer gold, birdcalls echo on porch wall, lungs fill with warm arrival, everything settling into place like dust finally deciding to land

That was Harry Towell with The Arrival. Now from a label who’s been growing to new heights daily Passed Recordings. Here is one of their more beat oriented artists.
Unruly Disturbance – Winter Chorus (from The Ghost of Christmas Passed)
icicle voices overlap in the chimney throat, old tinsel ghosts harmonize with wind through cracked panes, memory frost blooming on the inside of eyelids, shivering carols no one saw.

That was Manchester based artist Unruly Disturbance with Winter Chorus.
Now from winter vibes direct to California beaches and funky indie pop joviality with Ginger Root – Neighbor from the album City Slicker
elevator soul hums through thin walls, city lights smear like lipstick on glass, who’s next door living my alternate Tuesdays, smooth keys slide under skin, pretending not to notice the shared vibes.

That was Ginger Root with Neighbor. Next a good mate of the channel
Asha Patera – The Light From Within from the album Ocean Compilation 2 out on the extremely prolific label Sounds for the Soul Records. A great label to get a track on if you want to get noticed.
golden thread unspools behind the sternum, breath catches on warm filament, everything inside glowing quiet, no edges, just soft radiance pooling where shadows used to sit

That was Asha Patera with The Light From Within. Asha will also appear on my upcoming compilation Puzzles of the Psyche. There are still a few day left to send in a piece.
Now Lingua Lustra – Cloudsong from the album Essence from 2017 and recently released on a compilation featuring Lingua Lustras most notable tracks.
drifting white shapes swallow the sky, tones float weightless like exhaled thoughts, higher, softer, dissolving into pale blue nothing, I am only vapor now

That was Lingua Lustra with Cloudsong
Next up a couple of artists I’ve played a few times on the channel get together here. Dogs Versus Shadows & Nicholas Langley – ‘Slapdash And Bouldered’ from the album 16mm out on Spanish label Strategic Tape Reserve. The shortest track of the show.
wonky tape warble stumbles over mossy rocks, slap echo bounces erratic, head full of loose marbles rolling downhill, laughter distorted through pine needles, gloriously off-kilter

That was Dogs Versus Shadows & Nicholas Langley with ‘Slapdash And Bouldered’.
Now a balearic vibe and some more birds Sweatson Klank – Ultra Marine from the album Aureolin Winter compilation out on Los Angeles, California’s Friends Of Friends label.
deep cyan pulse underwater cathedral, synth tendrils curl like bioluminescent kelp, body suspended, heart knocking slow against infinite blue pressure, beautiful drowning.

That was Sweatson Klank with Ultra Marine.
Next staying with the birds. I do miss my old mix show For The Birds where all the tracks featured birds. One beautiful day when some more of you subscribe I’ll bring it back. Anyway here’s another collaboration. This time Graham Seaman, Mosaicist and Noctilusense – Pastures Green from the album This Burnished Land available through the Driftworks label.
emerald blades bend under invisible feet, distant bell tone ripples through dew, mind wanders fence lines that aren’t there anymore, green green greener until the color swallows itself.

That was Graham Seaman, Mosaicist and Noctilusense with Pastures Green
Now Michael Grigoni – Nod from that fantastic whitelabrecs compilation ‘An Ambient Decade’
slow eyelid curtain falls, world softens to charcoal smudge, breath syncs with low tide hum, nodding deeper into velvet dark, yes, yes, keep going.

Next, to end the A side, we stay with whitelabrecs and An Ambient Decade. This is Mosaicist, Simon Hall, Neil McRoberts, Percolator and Marjorie Dawson with Jack from (au·tay·uh·row·uh) Aotearoa – Waiting For Rain.
dry earth cracks whisper upward, sky heavy with unshed silver, fingers trace dust on windowsill, clouds gather like forgotten promises, any second now the first drop.

B Side –

We open Side B with yet another collaboration. This time Israeli artists Nitai Hershkovits & Daniel Dor – Elsewhere – Found & Found. This is one of only two tracks available to listen to on the pre-order of the album which will be released on April 24. ‘Found & Found’ is their second outing together. Back in 2024 they released one of my favourite albums of that year ‘The Garden Suite’. What we hear here is promising.
piano keys wander off the map, somewhere between memory and tomorrow, notes drift like lantern paper across black water, we aren’t here anymore, are we.

That was Nitai Hershkovits & Daniel Dor with Elsewhere.
Next a piece of my own as Trevlad – Hill Roving Slicer from the album TVCL 10 which is the 10th album of collected backgrounds from the Virtual Cassette Library series. If leaving tips or subscribing to the Mixcloud is not your thing then maybe you could consider grabbing a copy of one the back catalogue albums. Anyway…
wind slices grass blades sideways, modular blades carve hill contours, body tumbling through frequency grass, roving, slicing, alive in the shear

That was me, Trevlad with Hill Roving Slicer.
Now from the East coast of Sweden to the West this is Datasal – Besök from the double A side single Observatoriet / Besök out on Gothenburgs finest Höga Nord Rekords. A wonderful mix of synth and guitar here.
Swedish twilight creaks open, footsteps on wooden dock over dark lake, visitor arrives without knocking, air thick with pine and unsaid words, welcome, stay

That was Datasal with Besök.
Next Mr Harry Towell is back with his alias Glåsbird – Days of Iron and Steam, another featured track from the compilation An Ambient Decade. Wonderful ambient tones and sparce piano.
rusted pistons sigh in fogged morning, iron veins pulse slow heat, steam ghosts rise from cracked boiler hearts, industrial lullaby grinding toward dusk.

That was Glåsbird with Days of Iron and Steam. Now another couple of friends of the channel here in the form of Exit Chamber & Ed Herbers – Loathing (from SELF-) out on that fantastic label Passed Recordings that keep insisting on being included in the shows by being the best.
nails on chalkboard nerves, mirror cracks inward, loathing coils like smoke in the throat, self staring back with borrowed eyes, heavier every loop

That was Exit Chamber & Ed Herbers with Loathing
Next the longest piece og the episode, clocking in at 10:17 by the artist JSF – The Opening Gate (Splendid Seas of Canopus) from the album ‘Astral Airways’ out on a label that’s been catching my attention lately ‘The Dream Journal Institute’.
cosmic gate creaks on star hinges, Canopus light floods the corridor, splendid seas roll in vacuum waves, sailing weightless toward unknown shore

That was JSF with The Opening Gate (Splendid Seas of Canopus)
Now yet another collaboration. Julia Gjertsen and Gustav Davidsson – ‘Afterglow’ from the album ‘Wandering Mind, Drifting Weather’. Norwegian piano meet Swedish trombone.
last ember glows behind closed lids, piano traces fading sunset lines, bodies still humming from earlier touch, quiet warmth lingers, refuses to leave

That was Julia Gjertsen and Gustav Davidsson with Afterglow.
simon mccorry – in the feint of moonlight – ‘all the important things are now connected’. On whitelabrecs. A listening party on the 16 of March with the official release set for 21 March.
moonlight feints through bare branches, cello bow breathes almost inaudible, silver outline of everything almost disappearing, almost here, almost gone

That was simon mccorry with the penultimate track of episode 185, ‘in the feint of moonlight’.
To end the show I give you Visible Cloaks – Disque (ft. Motion Graphics) from the album Paradessence. Available through RVNG Intl.
prism refractions dance on wet pavement, synths bloom fractal petals, motion graphics flicker inside the mind’s eye, disque spinning endless iridescent now.
Thanks for listening…
echoes fold into themselves, last tone hangs like breath in winter air, silence returns, softer than before, carrying everything we heard… cheerio…

08 March 2026

///notes.seaweed.rashers

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Welcome to Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, Episode 184, your virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. As per usual we’ll dive into 20 artists. All the shows have three word subtitles for places that have some meaning for me personally. These are also used as names for the background music in show intros and outros. This episodes’ subtitle is notes.seaweed.rashers and is the geolocation of a rather good Sushi joint in Bromma Stockholm, Takumi Ramen & Sushi, which serves Burrito sushi rolls. Anyway, These episodes drop about three times a week with no fixed schedule—just pure passion for independent music. So do follow the Mixcloud page and the socials to stay up to date. Picture yourself settling into a cozy nook overlooking a misty ocean, cassette player in hand, as we embark on this auditory journey. Kicking things off with Dune by Atabasca from the album of the same name, out on Killer Groove Records, released March 27, 2026. This piece crafts a hypnotic rhythm that transports listeners across expansive, sun-baked terrains with effortless groove.

That was Dune by Atabasca.

Next up, Liboi with The rainforest (Central African Republic) from the album A Century of Sounds on Cities and Memory, released February 23, 2026. Capturing the raw symphony of nature in a way that feels alive and immersive, blending field sounds into an organic tapestry. I envision the dense canopy of ancient trees parting to reveal hidden streams, drawing us deeper into the heart of a vibrant wilderness.

That was Liboi and The rainforest (Central African Republic). If you’re not into all the talk between the tracks there is the option of subscribing for less than a cup of coffee on a monthly basis. Then you get these episodes as continuous babble free mixes a day or so ahead of what you’re listening to now.
Any hoo, Echoes lingering in the undergrowth, fading into a stranger’s whisper that pulls you toward unfamiliar shadows. here’s Stranger In Me (feat. autumna) by gribbles from the album githerments #1, released November 8, 2024. A collaboration that weaves ethereal vocals with subtle electronic layers, creating a haunting introspection that lingers long after the final note.

That was Stranger In Me (feat. autumna) by gribbles.

Coming next, Like fog rolling over jagged peaks, protocols of mist guiding you through obscured paths. Mist Protocol by Scholars of the Peak from the album PCT 29 – The Seawatch Observatory Tapes on Preston Capes, released March 6, 2026.

That was Mist Protocol by Scholars of the Peak.

Up now, Against All Odds (Ultra Ambient Mix) by Arcane Trickster from the album Ambient Archives on Tempest Recordings, released February 25, 2026.

A reflective surface shattering into nervous fragments, mirroring inner turmoil amid calm exteriors. Here’s Nervous Mirror by The Mistys from the album Situations | Useless Mouths on Castles In Space, releases March 27, 2026.

Imagine a fence submerged in still waters, bending around curved shores. Here’s oxbow by sunken fence from the album lentic on Adventurous Music, released February 19, 2026. This tape-loop drone intertwines field noises into a tranquil aquatic meditation, evoking submerged serenity.

That was oxbow by sunken fence

Headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the frequencies claim you.

A dimly lit workshop cluttered with circuit boards and flickering screens, shadows dancing as digital pulses awaken forgotten machines. Kicking off Side A with my own self released alias. This is Trevlad’s “Tablet Stocks Mice” from the album TVCL 09.

A crumbling tower under stormy skies, echoes of shattered illusions raining down like fragmented glass. Next up, Юродивый (yurodivy) with “Fallen Expectations ll” from the 50 track NYP album Commemorative Compilation released by Secuencias Temporales.

Imagine a bustling market at dusk, spices mingling in the air as rhythmic grooves weave through the crowd like invisible threads. Here’s Kaidi Tatham’s “Any Flavour” from the album Two Syllables Volume Twenty Two, on First Word Records.

An endless void, stars collapsing inward, pulling you into a cosmic silence dotted with faint, haunting signals. Farazdeck brings “Void” from the album Animae Perdita (ST017), courtesy of Secuencias Temporales.

See gentle waves lapping at a forgotten shore, mist rising as melodies drift by like autumn leaves on the wind. Clariloops’ “Pass Me By” from the album The Quiet Below, released by whitelabrecs.

Frost-covered cliffs along a rugged coast, deer silhouettes against a winter sunset, horns echoing through the chill. Phexioenesystems’ “Coastal Winter Deerhorn” from Patterns in Condensate, on Lunar Module.

A quiet farewell at twilight, streetlights blurring in the rain as final words hang in the ether. Gareth Jones’ “parting / nosDa” from ElectroGenetic 2 – Nos Da, a Mortality Tables product.

A woven lattice of vines climbing ancient ruins, sunlight filtering through in golden patterns. storyinsoil’s “Lattice” from the album distillation, released by Ingrown Records.

A city skyline at night, lights twinkling like distant galaxies, synth waves shimmering across the horizon. Ryu Oshi’s “Sparkling Night” from Cityfield: Ten Duets for Electric Piano and Synthesizer, on The Dream Journal Institute.

A shadowy alley where friends rally in chaos, urgency pulsing like a heartbeat in the dark. T-toe’s “Shes our friend and she’s crazy, We have to help her!” from The Vale of Shadows, on Sounds for the Soul Records.

Afternoon light piercing through clouds, flashes illuminating hidden landscapes in surreal bursts. Stereolab’s “Flashes In The Afternoon” from the album Cloud Land / Flashes In The Afternoon, released by Warp Records.

A zero-point field, equations dissolving into nothingness, potentials collapsing in elegant decay. Simon Heartfield’s “Nilpotent” from the Noon State EP, on Limbic Production.

B Side

Imagine awakening from a vivid reverie, the veil lifting as reality reshapes itself in unexpected forms. worriedaboutsatan’s “The Dream Is Over” from No Knock No Doorbell, self-released.

Barren fields under gray skies, the first flakes descending in silent promise. “Waiting for Snow” by Andrew Heath and Mi Cosa de Resistance, from the album Land, on Driftworks.

Cavernous depths where echoes reverberate, low frequencies rumbling like earthbound thunder. gribbles’ “Lows” from BOSH!, self-released.

Ancient temples shrouded in mist, realizations dawning like forbidden revelations – this one’s an exclusive preview, not yet out in the wild. Glacis with Henrik Meierkord’s “I Have Worshipped The Wrong Gods” from the upcoming album We Gape and We Are Healed, on whitelabrecs.

A lush garden bathed in golden light, mythical fruits ripening under eternal watch. Yakuza Jacuzzi’s “Jade Emperor´s Peach Garden part 1” from Wabi-Sabi, released by Cyclical Dreams.

Sun-drenched streets alive with infectious beats, shadows swaying in harmonious flow. Sababa 5’s “Asunsan” from Ça va Ça va, on Batov Records.

Ethereal threads connecting distant realms, pulses syncing in harmonious trance. Avsluta & Primal Code’s “Sahatā” from Commemorative Compilation , released by Secuencias Temporales.

That’s the end of the tape for Episode 183. Thanks for tuning in – keep exploring those independent sounds. Until next time, let the universe echo back.
Overgrown concrete structures reclaimed by nature, botanical forms emerging from urban decay. Wrapping up with Wil Bolton’s “Concrete Botany” from the album Concrete Botany, on Home Normal.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 182

04 March 2026

///situated.bike.guides

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Greetings ye combers of the sound waves and welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library, episode 182. I’m Trevor and I’ll be gently guiding you through twenty artists and their musical endeavours tonight. If you’re new here, welcome; otherwise, welcome back.
A quick shout out to the latest followers: Tiago Catarino who may or may not be into Lego, Rohima Afruza who is a Brighton-based DJ, and foremanmonique from New Mexico, United States. Thanks guys—you keep the signal strong.
This episode has set a new record for the channel: Six exclusive tracks at the time of recording. My handful of subscribers are some of the few souls on the planet who have heard these yet. How? I’ve started dropping music-only preview mixes of the shows before the chat version hits the air—that’s the secret handshake.
The exclusives come from Swimming Lesson, TOMC, The Metamorph, Martin Archer & Claire McAllister, Isograph (who is actually the same artist behind Swimming Lesson), and Oberlin. Who else joins the lineup? You’ll just have to settle in and listen.
Let’s ease into the flow.

We start the episode with the first exclusive which was actually released back in October on the Castles In Space Subscription Library so a few of you will know this one by Darryl Wakelin here as one of his alter egos *Swimming Lesson. This is A Penchant for Experiments from the album Home Electronics
Picture a dimly lit garage in a 1970s suburb, fairy lights strung across shelves of salvaged radios and half-built circuit boards, the faint glow of a soldering iron as tiny sparks dance like fireflies in the dusk.

And now the best thing that’s ever happened to this channel Mr. Gareth Evans aka HDRF. His support and above all his direct action on my request for sending in his story for the new show Chord Confessions. In fact the previous artist Swimming Lesson and other artists I’ve played are a direct result of Gareths passion and action in the community.
HDRF – Everybody Melts (for Miquette)
from the album Ephemerama 1 (self-released via HDRF’s Bandcamp)
A slow dissolve of coloured wax under heat, pooling into soft iridescent shapes on a windowsill as afternoon light filters through rain-streaked glass, everything quietly surrendering to warmth.

Solar 76 – Arctan
from the album Sun Angle on Castle In Spaces’ Lunar Module imprint.
Late golden hour on a coastal cliff path, the sun hanging low and casting long geometric shadows across concrete sea defences, waves below folding in perfect mathematical curves. A very different, yet familiar release from the label. Get your House moves on.

Now most of the music I play on the show is either NYP releases, or sent in by the artists or by the labels. This next track is the latter.
*TOMC – You Are Balearic
from the album Blue Era Odyssey. Releasing via channel champion Mystery Circles on the 3 of March.
Open-top car cruising a winding island road at twilight, salt air rushing past, palm fronds silhouetted against a sky bleeding from azure to deep indigo, distant lights beginning to wink on.

Now another track from the outstanding and highly original label Cities and Memory.
Neil Foster – Yeyi (Central African Republic)
from the album A Century of Sounds. This track is from the NYP version on Bandcamp and one of the 100 pieces chosen for this 13 track release.
Dense rainforest canopy parting just enough for shafts of sunlight to hit moss-covered earth, the air thick with calls of unseen birds and the low rhythmic pulse of life moving unseen.

Gustavo Denouard – Whispers
from the album Echoes of the Cosmos on Projekt Records
Vast empty observatory dome at night, telescope lens reflecting a scattering of stars, faint cosmic radio static crackling like whispers from galaxies long ago.

Now another great friend of the show, Gavin Brick aka The Metamorph. This is the third exclusive for the episode. Gavin has received the physical CDs for his upcoming release From Cobalt to Aquamarine. I’ve always loved Gavin music and this sees a bit of a change in direction. It’s more introspective and is quickly becoming a favourite on repeat around the house. I believe this will be the first release from his new studio in Liverpool. Keep your eye on his Bandcamp page for the official release date.
*The Metamorph – Cobalt
Deep underwater cave lit only by bioluminescent streaks of electric blue, slow currents carrying flecks of mineral that catch the light like floating sapphires.

Next the fourth exclusive of the show.
*Martin Archer & Claire McAllister – Underground
from the album Mast Year dropping on the Discus Music label on the 27th of March. There are loads of names to look forward to on this collage style release.
Dimly lit subway tunnel after hours, Claires floating improvised vocals and gentle jazz phrasings will take you underground.

Now let’s get industrial with some sub bass foundation. The penultimate track of this first half.
Wahn – A Place Slightly Wrong
from the album Echo Mist Light on the Mahorka label.
Fog rolling across an abandoned industrial yard at dawn, rusted machinery half-submerged in mist, everything familiar yet shifted just a degree out of alignment.

We end the A side with Corvid One Cassette – REST
from the album Two on a label to keep you radar tuned to, Black Pylon. A Cassette label curated by Lee Pylon and Nicholas Langley.
A single raven perched on a cracked cassette tape case in an empty room, feathers ruffled by a draught from an open window, the world outside hushed.

B Side –

We open this half with the living legend, Hainbach – BTM Blau
from the album Tagwerk on Spanish label, Industrial Complexx.
Analogue workbench at midnight, the Crumar DS-2, an early Italian synthesiser, pulsing gently as if the machine itself is dreaming.

Now Bruce Magill aka Low Altitude – Dan Y Wernen
from the whitelabrecs compilation masterpiece Shades
Welsh hillside at dusk, ancient stone wall curving into mist, wind carrying faint echoes of folk memory across heather and gorse.

Next I get to play one of my own pieces as no-one else will. In the intro, outro and scattered through each episode I create background soundscapes. When I’ve created 16 episodes I release them as an album. The three word titles of each piece are also geotags for spots on the planet that I have some sort of personal connection with. For example the title of this episode and the background you’re listening to now is situated.bike.guides which is the geographical location of the entrance to Omnipollos Church in Sundbyberg Stockholm. A Brewery and bar, creating some of the best craft beer on the planet. The title of this track is from the patch of grass outside my apartment. Enter any of the track titles from my albums and you can virtually stalk me. Anyway this is me, Trevlad – Hits Enjoyable Amended
from the album TVCL-09
Old mixing desk in a cosy attic studio, faders worn smooth from years of use, fairy lights twinkling above stacks of cassettes like a private constellation.

Now a release right up my alley. I love this sound, it reminds me of the 70s Canterbury sound of Dave Stewart. Passepartout Duo – From Tbilisi
from the album Pieces from Places
Narrow cobblestone street in old Tbilisi at golden hour, balcony flowers spilling over iron railings, distant church bells mingling with street musicians.

Now the fifth exclusive track from *Isograph – The Telling of the Bees
[same artist as Swimming Lesson, keeping traditions alive in sound]
Traditional beehive in a quiet garden at sunrise, bees humming in low golden light, keeper in veil gently lifting a frame, the hive whispering ancient secrets. This is from the first Isograph release which will see light of day later in the year. Here’s what Darryl told me about the track. “The telling of the bees is an old tradition from when lots of rural families kept a beehive for honey, propolis, etc. They would tell the bees about family news (births, deaths, etc.), which I think is just a beautiful thing to do, making the bees part of the family. The track is about all sides of that – the family news, and then at the scale of the bees hearing the news, and the whole thing is an attempt to reflect the lovely connection/regard for nature in this idea.” Cheer for that.

Now another artist I could probably contact for a coffee if I ever was in Edinburgh. Exit Chamber – We Can Get There Simply By Surviving (Previously Unreleased)
from the album The Passed Year 2025 on a global collective of artists known as Passed Recordings. The Bandcamp page says they’re based in Uppsala Sweden but I haven’t figured out what the connection is. Anyway,
Cracked pavement after rain, small green shoot pushing through concrete, resilient and quiet, the city noise fading into a hopeful hush.

Next described as being constructed to elicit feelings of calm, to unearth hazy memories of early innocence, and to lure the chaotic mind into the woods of sleep.
Glass Hive – Mother Of Many
from the album Glass Hive EP
Hive mind of glass shards catching light in a sunlit room, reflections multiplying endlessly, fragile yet infinite.

Now the sixth exclusive which will see light of day on 6 March.
*Oberlin – Never Take It For Granted
from the album The Gold Pit Sessions Vol. 2 out on German label oscarson.
Open window on a spring morning, curtains billowing softly, sounds drifting in with the scent of fresh earth, everything ordinary and miraculous.

Next an all time favourite artist of mine. The penultimate track of the show. Sébastien Tellier – Un Dimanche en Famille
from the album Kiss the Beast
Lazy Sunday table in a sun-dappled kitchen, half-eaten croissants, laughter echoing off tiled walls, time stretching elastic and warm. Available through Because Music & Horizons.

And that’s episode 182 wrapped in a bow of tape and wonder. Thanks for riding along on this sonic journey with its metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe.
Want to be part of the transmission? Send your vibrations to trevlad@gmail.com. Purchase paths are always illuminated at trevor.se and marked in the timeline of each show.
To send us home hailing from, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lorna Dune – Alverno
from the EP Mosfet
Mountain trail winding upward through pine and mist, sudden clearing revealing a vast alpine valley below, the air crisp with possibility. A self released Minimal House gem.
Until the next drop appears without warning… keep searching the dial. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 177

08 February 2026

///retrial.twinge.memo

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.

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‑three of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Vent Making Diverts—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 unreleased track by myself which can only be heard here—so if you’re collecting the oddities and outliers, this one’s for you.
On the B side, we’ve got an exclusive from Mist Signals—Someday Soon—taken from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation Sleeplaboratory6.0, which drops on the 17th of January to celebrate the label’s tenth anniversary. A decade of quiet experiments, soft-focus soundscapes, and late-night headphone magic.
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 funk, Idm, ambient drift, modular murmurs, rare views, puddles, mythology, and the occasional monkey. 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.”

///tactical.flagged.happen

“Greetings all. Episode one-five-two of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Tactical Flagged Happen. 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. Ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. In this episode you’ll hear Dude, Finn Rees, Cognition Delay on Mahorka, elders from Driftworks, and Warmth on Archives. Later, The Black Dog, Hélène Vogelsinger, Sven Wunder, and my own track Plank Glides Enigma drift through the mix. Everyday Dust, Ndorfik, and Gollden on Imaginary North carry us into the B side.
Labels orbiting here include Neo Ouija, Leaving Records, and Intellitronic Bubble. Styles range from ambient and IDM to vaporwave, kosmische, and spiritual jazz. These transmissions stretch across places—Melbourne, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Sheffield—woven into the resonance of the library.
The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre‑order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. Every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”

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.

Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 118

///misfits.honey.defeated.

📼 Welcome, sonic wanderers, to Episode 118 of Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library—titled Misfits Honey Defeated. A name, a signal, and a location: ///misfits.honey.defeated. Drop it into What3Words and you’ll find the coordinates of this episode’s visual transmission.
This is your 90-minute passage through sound—crafted for walking meditations, mental meanderings, and quiet communion with the cosmos. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion.
🌌 The journey begins with The Natural Yogurt Band’s Garden Party, and flows through shimmering textures from Tides, Wahn together with Pandacetamol, UMBRAFONO, Trem 77, and Paul Beaudoin. Mitseliy whispers Here It Ends, while Substak greets the morning in the glade. Liam J Boyle spins Revolutions, and Michael Moore dreams of Holland. Diana Crash and William Carlos Whitten ask How Long, before CZiGO ushers in the Techno Feudal.
🌀 At the metaphysical halfway mark, Side B flips the signal. Breathwork from Knivtid. Monolithic tears from Gelbart. Grim collaborations from Grauglanz. Screensaver emotions from IDTiL. A subterranean community and mystical skies courtesy of The British Stereo Collective. Simon Bridgestock’s silicon druid dances deep into the night. Dreamlake Mists conjures Forest Malice, Jolanda Moletta casts a Dream Spell, and Fflwcs closes with Chiroptera.
If you’d like to be part of the transmission? Send your signal to trevlad@gmail.com. Purchase paths are always illuminated at trevor.se and marked in each episode’s timeline.
Support the Signal: Pre-order the 6th TVCL album on Bandcamp. It drops when we hit 17 tracks. Subscribe for just $3/month and unlock 844 archived shows. That’s over 1,200 hours of sonic exploration.
