Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 264. 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 contemplative, atmospheric ambient journey through gravity, trapped moments, and fiery elements.
Side A drifts from weightless lapses and arcane nights into sinister awakenings, amber preservation, and circular comfort. Side B shifts through nostalgic postcards, patterned cosiness, collaborative warmth, and ends on flame and dated reflection.
Overall mood: Introspective, melancholic, and quietly wondrous with a blend of darkness and gentle warmth. Perfect for deep listening, late-night reflection, or peaceful immersion.
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 264 episodes as well as the 820 plus 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 from the 24 buildings in the veil. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures.
On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by the trio of John Crombie, Christopher Innes, and Damiano Verna who together call themselves Arcane Trickster. I’ve chosen their latest single titled “Dead Of Night” which has just been released on Greek label Cosmicleaf Records.
This is followed by the track “Sinister Awakening” by Mantris from an album to get lost in titled “Echoes Of The Silver Screen” out on Bulgaria’s finest Mahorka label.
After that Edinburgh based modular artist Exit Chamber with the soothing piece “Trapped In The Amber Of This Moment” from the release “I Have Lied To You The Best I Can” which features remix work by some other channel friends including Asha Patera, Ed Herbers and Everyday Dust. Grab a digital copy on the Passed Recordings label.
The penultimate track of the first side of this virtual cassette is by French artist Anthony Elfort aka Toàn and the enchanting track “DEL 3” from the album titled “Solitarium” out on the fantastic whitelabrecs label.
Finishing off the first half is a track from the album Quieter by Robot Koch under his moniker Foam and Sand with a mix of analog synthesizers, live vibraphone, chimes, and bells in “Circle 62”. Get it at Jogging House curated label Seil Records.
But first, to set the vibe is Athens-based artist Kostas Staikos, better known as Substak with a deep and dark almost 15 minute piece titled “Gravity Lapse” which was made for Drone Day 2026 on grey clay radio.
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 an artist I know nothing about except they are on the fantastic Passed Recordings 31 track compilation album 130.81. Here is Poloma with minimalist piece “Calico”.
Also an exclusive track in the collaboration of ambient giants David Cordero & Aiko Takahashi with the piano piece “Arzino” from their upcoming album “Night’s End” which will be available through the wonderful Home Normal label from the 24th of July.
After that a master of sunset music, Mark Barrott, with the track “Variation (I)” from the album “The Exit Diaries” and that’s out on the Anjunachill label.
Then the penultimate track for today comes in the form of the shortest piece of the show clocking in at just 1:31 seconds but showing the amazing sound of Hannah Peel in the track “All They Had Was Fire” from the film soundtrack album Underland, and that’s out on the Rivertones label.
Finishing us off is Hylé Tapes curator Richard Francés with some minimalistic drone bliss in the track “11 Février 2024” from the album Afterwork III (Février 2024).
But first hailing from Koblenz, Germany, Oberlin with his Fender Telecaster and field-recordings on the track “Postcard #7” from the album Ambient Postcards, Enjoy…

A mystical, quirky, and emotionally varied ambient journey through alchemy, jungles, societal decay, and warrior cries.
Side A moves from occult geometry and evening bonsoirs into fragile qualia, jungle scans, and solipsistic isolation. Side B shifts through tungsten pillows, multiple ways, lonely days, crying warriors, and fried naptime whimsy.
Overall mood: Atmospheric, contemplative, and eccentric with a mix of dark mystery, gentle warmth, and playful chaos. Perfect for late-night immersion, reflective listening, or adventurous evenings.
I’ll do all the talking now, in the intro, as I’ve put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. There is just one break halfway through to give the “virtual cassette” title a meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 262 episodes plus the 826 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for 3 quid. It used to be a coffee.

After that another Hylé Tapes release this time from the 2024 album Biodiverse by Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster. I’ve chosen the rather fun 9 minute track “Jungle Scan”.
Ending the A side with some braindance techno is Craig Murphy aka Solipsism and the track “Sierra Oscar Kilo” from the latest release on the Mighty Force label.

For some reason I can no longer embed the shows here

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 260. 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 groovy, cinematic, and eclectic journey blending indie folk introspection, global psychedelic funk, French electronic cool, post-rock elegance, and atmospheric psychedelia.
Side A cruises through cosmic weight, mechanical playfulness, and sun-drenched grooves. Side B percolates with jazzy structures, vaporous textures, and sleek professionalism before ending on a pointed, trippy note.
Overall mood: Stylish, nostalgic, and transportive with a strong retro-cinematic flair—warm, hypnotic, and playfully sophisticated. Perfect for golden-hour drives, late-night listening, or stylish background grooves.
I’ve gone back to doing more podcast style episodes but I’ll do all the talking now in the intro as I’ve put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. There is just one break halfway through the episode to give the “virtual cassette” title a meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few subscribers who get to enjoy the 260 episodes plus the 822 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for 3 quid. It used to be a coffee.
This episode is inspired by the key of G minor and based on the amazing retro synth runs of “A Study In Vapors” by “Bluetech” from a release that’s in my top 5 of the year so far “Petite Constellations”.
Every tenth episode I do a best of show. So all these tracks have probably been featured by me over the years and have a special place, for me, in some way. On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Berlin based legends To Rococo Rot with a track simply called “cars”. Originally released on the 1999 album “The Amateur View” which should be in everyone’s collection.
Naples based group Psyché grab our hips with “Cumbia Mahàre” from their debut Four Flies Records, self titled, 2023 release.
Then a trio that have infected me over the past few years, Khruangbin, here joined by the vocal stylings of Leon Bridges in the track “Chocolate Hills” from their 2022 EP Texas Moon.
After that Vincent Taeger aka Tiger Tigre together with, well, himself, in the track “Sport Mécanique” which takes me back to my childhood. My parents watch all sports on tv and this just puts me in that world of 80s sports jingles. It’s taken from the compilation album “ERR REC Library Vol.4 Physical Activity” from 2023.
Ending the A side is the Los Angeles, California based roots reggae infected Pachy García aka Pachyman and the track “Sunset Sound” from the album “The Return of…” released in 2021.
Starting off Side B with Vienna, Austria based synth maestro Dorian Concept and the track “Eigendynamik (Elevator Version)” from the 2020 album “The Jitters”.
Followed by my favourite Stockholm based artist of recent years Joel Danell better known as Sven Wunder. Here with the piece “Pop-Jazz Structures”. Every one of Joels tracks puts me in a happy space. This is from his 2023 album “Late Again”.
Then anyone who has followed the channel knows that I love odd time signatures and the track “Percolator” is in 5/8 and is by the one of a kind originals Stereolab. Taken from the 2025 album “Emperor Tomato Ketchup”.
This leads into the featured Seattle, Washington based, Evan Bartholomew, better known as, Bluetech track “A Study In Vapors”.
Then the penultimate piece for today comes in the form of one of my all time go to artists Air with the track “Les Professionnels” from their debut 1997 EP Premiers Symptômes.
Finishing us off is Salvia Plath aka RUN DMT with nostalgic samples over a hypnotic acoustic guitar line in the track “Money” from the 2009 album BONG VOYAGE.
But first, to set the vibe is New Zealand based folk tinged artist whose voice just grips me Aldous Harding with the song “Weight of the Planets” from her fantastic third album “Designer” from 2019.
Labels to be mentioned are 4AD UK, City Slang, Four Flies Records, Dead Oceans, ERR REC, ATO, Brainfeeder, Piano Piano Records, Warp Records, Behind The Sky Music, DiN and Virgin Records.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 27

Good evening… or morning… or whatever smeared fragment of clock time you’ve drifted into today. This is EXPANSIVE WAVES 27. I’m Trevor — your host, your unreliable cartographer of the long haul, your occasional sonic conspirator.
This one’s not built for the impatient. Eight pieces. Each one stretching beyond twelve minutes. Together they uncoil for over whatever time that takes. If you came looking for hooks, drops, or anything that resembles forward motion, best to paddle elsewhere. Or just dim the lights, let the room breathe, and allow the ceiling to become a slow-moving planetarium. That works too.
We begin somewhere near the edge of pull with friend of the channel Greek super drone artist Substak and his track Gravity Lapse
Imagine You’re suspended ten feet above your childhood bedroom floor. Everything that once had weight is gently forgetting its job. Books hover. A glass of water tilts but never spills. Your pulse slows until it matches the rhythm of dust motes doing lazy cartwheels in a moonbeam.
The room exhales. Gravity gives up mid-sentence. Substak lets the low end sag like warm taffy while metallic shimmers orbit your head. Stay here. Let your bones remember they’re mostly water.

…and when the floor finally decides to forgive you…
Cells Interlinked with Drift (Summer memories about spring) from the album Cold Spring Notes released on the ever present Cyclical Dreams.
Bare feet on wet grass that hasn’t decided if it’s still spring or already drowning in summer. A bicycle with playing cards in the spokes lies on its side. Someone is laughing three houses away but you can’t tell if it’s 1997 or yesterday. Cherry blossoms fall upward into a sky the colour of melted peach ice cream.
You thought you were driving home but the road turned into a river of pollen and half-remembered songs. Cells Interlinked keeps time with your nostalgia instead of a metronome. Close your eyes. The light behind them is the exact shade of June.

Next… we step through something older than language.
The Taps Of The Holy Trinity with The Passage
(Exclusive track from the upcoming album “Customs & Rituals of…” releasing on the Fenny Compton label on the 20th of June 2026)
Think Candlelight on stone walls older than your grandparents’ grandparents. Bare feet on cold stone. A single drop of water falls every few seconds. Each drip rearranges the molecules of your thoughts. Shadows have their own shadows here.
Listen. These aren’t notes. These are permissions. The Taps Of The Holy Trinity open a door that was never meant to stay closed. Walk through slowly. Something in the dark knows the real you.

From ritual… to sealed silence.
No episode of mine, it seems, is complete without a couple of artists from the Bulgarian label Mahorka. Whom which I’ve done a four part guest show on their wonder Planck Tone series. Ivo Petrov seems to have a knack of bringing fantastic artists together the first of this episode being Toni Dimitrov + Blanket Swimming with the title track from their release Hermetic
So you’re inside a sealed glass sphere floating in deep space. No panic, just warm recognition. Your breath fogs the inside of the glass and spells out forgotten Sigils. A single bulb burns perfectly still in zero gravity. Outside, stars move like slow schools of silver fish.
Hermetic. Sealed. Complete. Two minds braided so tightly the sound has no edges anymore. Just one continuous skin of tone. You are the vessel. You are also what’s inside the vessel.

And then the paths appear… whether you asked for them or not.

Andreas Rönnquist + rsn the second piece from the Mahorka label with the track invisible paths from their album within remoteness
Midnight in an endless bamboo forest. Moonlight cuts through the stalks in perfect geometric slices. Every few steps the ground becomes a mirror. You see versions of yourself walking parallel paths you never chose.
These paths are the anywhere. Andreas and rsn hand you a lantern made of negative space. Follow it. Or don’t. The forest doesn’t mind either way.

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, someone is still adjusting the dials…
R&D and the track Adjust the Mixture from the album, Periscope Depth, performed at The Adventurers Guild.
Think an abandoned chemical laboratory at 3:33 a.m. Beakers bubble with liquid starlight. A scientist in a lab coat keeps turning knobs that control the weather inside your ribcage. The air tastes of copper and déjà vu.
R&D mixing states of being. One part memory, two parts future, a dash of never-was. Breathe it in. Your blood is learning new colours.

And just when you think the canvas is finished…
Friend of the channel Alex Ringess with Tableau #4 from his fantastic release Analog Abstractions.
Now, you’re standing inside a fresh painting. The oils are still alive. Mountains breathe. A river of mercury reflects a sky that contains every sunset you’ve ever ignored. The frame is optional.
Alex Ringess paints the silence between sounds. Step inside Tableau #4. The perspective is wrong in the best possible way.

Final orbit…
From Sydney, Australia, Bill Astro Music and the track Fragile Orbit from the album Trinary Solitude.
A small, imperfect satellite made childhood wishes tumbling end over end around a lonely planet. One more revolution and it might kiss the atmosphere and burn beautifully. For now, it sings.
We’re all in fragile orbit. Bill Astro reminds us how lovely that is. How temporary. How perfect.

Until the next fragment of drifting time pulls us back into the same warm current… this is Trevor, signing off from EXPANSIVE WAVES 27.
Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 208

Equal parts cosmic wonder, gentle unease, and deep relaxation. Ideal for late-night listening, focused immersion, or psychedelic headspace sessions.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 208 of the Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is based on the track “Night owl dub” by Dubberrookie from the upcoming compilation album “The Mystery of the Night” curated by yours truly. Shout out to all the artists so far to contribute to what’s looking to be a fantastic collection. Also a massive thank you to Rural District Lo-Fi Recording Project, Discus Music, Subexotic Records, Dubberrookie for sponsoring the channel with material.
An adventurous, psychedelic, and atmospheric journey through experimental electronics, cosmic jazz, hauntology, and deep dub.
Side A moves from playful lo-fi quirkiness and cerebral intensity into vast cosmic expanses, ancient drones, acid-tinged mysticism, and faded derelict nostalgia. Side B drifts into dreamy Japanese psych, precise minimalism, warm organic calm, and closes with smoky late-night dub.
Overall mood: Mysterious, expansive, and slightly mind-altering. It has a nocturnal, otherworldly feel — equal parts cosmic wonder, gentle unease, and deep relaxation. Ideal for late-night listening, focused immersion, or psychedelic headspace sessions.
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.

Open-hearted, wistful, and emotionally rich with a strong cinematic feel.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 207 of the Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is based on the tracks “At One With The Woods” by CommsBreakdown and “A Moonlit Crop Circle Timelapse” from the upcoming compilation album “The Mystery of the Night” curated by yours truly. Shout out to John, Steve and all the artists so far to contribute to what’s looking to be a fantastic collection. Also a massive thank you to Audio Obscura for sharing his upcoming album “Dream States”. Labels Mystery Circles, Machine Records, Castles In Space, and See Blue Audio for sponsoring the channel with material.
A dreamy, atmospheric journey through cosmic ambient, gentle electronica, and cinematic textures with a strong sense of wonder and introspection.
Side A moves from vast space-castle dreams and delicate minimalism into warm dub bliss, rain-streaked melancholy, and nostalgic instrumental storytelling. Side B expands into brainwave cosmic pulses, forest immersion, mysterious moonlit visions, and intricate winding electronics.
Overall mood: Ethereal, contemplative, and subtly adventurous. It feels like drifting between inner worlds, rainy windows, starry skies, and hidden forest clearings — perfect for late-night listening, focused work, or quiet escapism. Warm, immersive, and pleasantly hypnotic throughout.
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.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 202

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 202 of the Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is based on the track “Café Frappé” by Bolbec. Available on the amazing library music inspired album “Foutu Félin”. Released May 8 on the wonderful channel supporting Batov Records.
This Mix is a vibrant, retro-flavoured journey through 70s library inspired music, cinematic funk, psychedelic grooves, and dusty Balearic electronics.
Side A moves from playful alpine funk and sunny Tahitian exotica into hypnotic desert psych and cruising electronic energy. Side B shifts into raw dusty beats, warped library psychedelia, Ethiopian-jazz tension, and motorik drive before closing on a haunting ambient note.
Overall mood: Sunny, groovy, slightly sleazy, and cinematic with strong 70s/80s library nostalgia. Playful yet atmospheric — perfect for warm evenings, road trips, or crate-digging sessions. Energetic in places but never loses its cool, hazy charm.
I’ve been getting loads of material during the week so I’ve decided to add this segment called “Shout outs from The Inbox”
Which go to Dave Clarkson, Sick Robot, Exit Chamber, Audio Obscura, Stray Wool and Linear North. As well as channel supporting labels Batov Records, Castles in Space, See Blue Audio, Mortality Tables, Clay Pipe Music, Discus Music, whitelabrecs and Synonym Music. Also promotional champions fonodroom and free album codes.
This episode contains music from Castle If, HDRF, Mike Dickinson, Piero Umiliani, Pulselovers and many more.

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, if you can, subscribe — even if it’s just for a month. I put in the work you could buy me the equivalent of 18% of a coffee. As it stands I’m 1 subscriber short of myself or the artists getting anything.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
No breaks, just the music.

Alone on the Dance Floor 07

For those that dance to a different tune.

A place to let loose. A short break from the ambience that usually dominated the channel.

Back with another outing of Alone on the Dance Floor.

This series comes out whenever I can make the time to create them. Like all my shows.
I am not affiliated with any station and do not get paid for this work.
I rely entirely on labels and artists sending me material, an unquenchable thirst for sharing great sounds, a handful of Mixcloud subscribers and a few sales from Bandcamp.

Trev’s Virtual Café

Hey everyone… Trevor here, welcome.
I’ve always wanted to be a café DJ — you know, the kind who reads the room, feels the energy, and lets the music flow with whatever vibe the people bring in that day.
Life took me down so many beautiful roads, but this particular dream… well, it’s still waiting to come true.
So today, I’m bringing a little piece of that dream right here for you.
This is my series of café and lounge-flavoured sounds — smooth, soulful grooves made for chilling, for unwinding, for good conversations and even better silences.
Whether you’re sipping coffee, working on your laptop, curled up on the couch, or just needing a moment to breathe…
Let these tracks wrap around you like warm sunlight through the café window.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 191

09 April 2026

///molars.blunt.notices

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

Hey.
Welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the wall.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-one.
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 world outside forgets I exist.
Stream free for seven days on Mixcloud.
Background track tonight is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11. The episode is 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 that definitely isn’t watching you back.
Massive shout out to Ivo Petrov of Mahorka for pulling me into the Planck Tone series. Big love to my latest followers Andy InPhase. Check his mix Beautiful Nonsense. Cedric Wattergniaux (Kilmarth) who I played back on episode 173, Julian Kalchev ( Virtually J ) who I played on the latest Alone on the Dance Floor episode and Claudio Gasparini who has a massive following with less than ten mixes. You’re doing something right.

Anyway.
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
We’re bunching it tonight—three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
Tonight’s episode is broadcasting from… molars.blunt.notices.
Which is the location of Miyakodori—a Japanese-style gastro bar here in Stockholm where the food probably whispers secrets when the lights go out.
Let’s go.

First cluster incoming.
The episodes longest piece at 11:24. Just making the 12 minute limit. Vel Raine drifts in like bioluminescent waves from some distant galactic tide—Galactic Ocean Waves Flickering. Anything over 12 minutes ends up on another series of mine EXPANSIVE WAVES.
Then Fm Outt with that beautiful, futuristic sadness—Incomplete Kisses. Out on the Secuencias Temporales label.
And closing the trio, yours truly with something off the old virtual shelf—Caravan Grew Vaccines.
These three are about to melt into each other. Don’t fight it.

Still with me? Good. The walls are thinning.

Next transmission packet.
Heading back to 2007 and Sevensy opens a glowing doorway with Moon Arch. Out on the Mahorka label. Who I’ve done a series of Planck Tone specials for. The first is available now.
Stewart Keller follows with the, graceful exhale—Swan Song.
Then another long one at 10:27. Lee Evans slides in sideways with Bow Tel Banti—because why not. Out on The Jewel Garden which is described as being part label, pure vanity
Three more stitches in the dream.

Third and final cluster of the night.
French artist, Near Stoic paints movement in light—Kinematic Lights. Out on Third Kind Records.
Foxwarren gets not serious in Serious.
And Time Rival affirms existence with Also Yes.
Lean in. This one’s slippery.

One last track before the flip from Paul Beaudoin who goes plucky on Mercury’s Whisper. Out on Chitra Records sub label Ambient Cat.
You know the drill. The frequencies don’t stop just because the clock does.

Side B

The lights are lower. The sounds are looser.
Same rules: three transmissions stitched together like half-remembered dreams.
First B Side packet.
Going live now. GODTET brings in Cantus—big, orchestral, locked-in groove with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra riding shotgun. Out on La Sape Records
TOMC follows with the 8 minute journey—18, Chasing the Sun (Part 1, 2 & 3).
And Portland Vows closes it with Stone Children—haunting little shadows from the north. Out on Third Kind Records.
Let these three pull you under.

Next cluster. Snow is falling sideways tonight.
Erik Wøllo opens with Snow Tides—vast, Norwegian winter textures stretching out like frozen fjords. Out on Projekt records
El Michels Affair slides in cool and cinematic with the Indifference (Instrumental). Out on Big Crown Records. I’m loving this release. Library music just fills a hole in me.
Then mytrip whispers annie—a Mahorka ghost from the archive, quiet and close.
Headphones tighter. This one’s cold and intimate.

Last trio of the night.
Scott Orr with the simple, devastating Scott. Which I discovered from the recent Late-Night Tales release curated by Barry Can’t Swim
Jackson Mico Milas takes us Sea, Interior. Also on That Late-Night Tales release.
And Grammy-nominated Tim Story ends the main transmissions with Decelarate or Fasten—because sometimes you need both at once.
One more cluster before we fade.

You just heard Tim Story’s Decelarate or Fasten, Jackson Mico Milas’ Sea, Interior, and Scott Orr’s Scott.
One final transmission still to come…
The great Anubis Rude closes the show with Transmutation. Out on artist curated label Ingrown Records.

That’s the whole set.
You’ve been listening to… well, everything. But the last transmission you heard was Anubis Rude’s Transmutation pulling us through the veil.
Thanks for floating here with me.
I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se, on Trevor Lewis on Substack, and marked in the timeline like little glowing breadcrumbs.
If you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
No meetings. No rules. Just dust and frequencies.
Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. I’ll read them in my sleep-voice.
See you in the next crack in the wall.
Cheerio…

Alone on the Dance Floor 06

For those that dance to a different tune.

A place to let loose. A short break from the ambience that usually dominated the channel.

Great to be back with another outing of Alone on the Dance Floor.
It’s been a while. This episode contains four artists on the Mahorka radar.
Virtually J, Hypnos, Recidivist and MBA. I’ve done a bunch of guest mixes for the amazing Planck Tone series which Ivo Petrovs’ Mahorka does.

It’s also got a track by Anhnch from my latest compilation Puzzles of the Psyche available on Bandcamp.

Also in this episode a few favourite labels that keep me updated. Castles In Space, Waxing Crescent Records and, of course, Mahorka.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 25

26 March 2026

Good evening… or morning… or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself floating in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty-five. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.

This programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces. Each longer than twelve minutes. Most stretching far beyond that. Each more patient than the last. If you’re expecting choruses, drops, or anything resembling urgency… you may want to try another channel. Or just turn the volume down and stare at the ceiling. That works too.

Massive shout out to Iso Brown on Mixcloud, who spotlighted the show and sent a fresh wave of new followers crashing in. Welcome, newcomers. I usually mention new followers but out of the 200 new followers I’m guessing that maybe one or two will like or comment, but if you do I will mention you and your channel in the next episode. I hope you enjoy the many strange faces of these outings—independent artists, leftfield corners, music that refuses to be in a rush.

We begin with what has been described as the album of the year so far.

Deep Earth Network – Land 2
https://richardnorris.bandcamp.com/track/land-2
Ancient soil breathing through cracked speakers while forgotten BBC voices whisper about ley lines and the first gods who were mostly moss.
So settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep on your chest like a small, warm dictator. Let the world spin without you for a while.

That was Land 2 by Deep Earth Network from the EP Land out on the Republic of Music label.
JSF – Time And Space, Compressed
https://theastralrealms.bandcamp.com/track/time-and-space-compressed
Your childhood bedroom at 3 a.m. stretched until the walls become nebulae and the glow-in-the-dark stars remember they were once real suns.

That was Time And Space, Compressed by JSF from the album Astral Airways out on The Dream Journal Institute
Gareth Evans aka HDRF – Flowergate Coda – a glimpse into HDRFs live set at Switched On 2025 in Whitby last November.
https://hdrf.bandcamp.com/track/flowergate-coda
A single flower made of stained glass slowly melting back into rain on the roof of an abandoned Victorian greenhouse.

That was Flowergate Coda by HDRF from the self released album H25L. Do grab this release yours truly feature on the first couple of tracks.
*Zyggurat is Pete Grimshaw’s experimental jazz project – Out of Darkness into Light
https://old-technology.bandcamp.com/
Release date 10th of April
Climbing the last step of a black marble staircase that ends in blinding white dawn, barefoot, with no memory of how many centuries you just walked.

That was Out of Darkness into Light by Zyggurat from the album Sphere to Sphere dropping April 10th on the Old Technology label.
Correlations – 3300 WELLSPRING TAPE PHASER REF
https://correlations1.bandcamp.com/track/3300-wellspring-tape-phaser-ref
Every cassette you ever owned playing at once inside a warm metal well, tape hiss turning into soft spring water that tastes faintly of solder and nostalgia.

That was 3300 WELLSPRING TAPE PHASER REF by Correlations a self released track.
Michael Brückner – A Sequence of Colours – Parts 8
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/a-sequence-of-colours-parts-8-10
Walking through a cathedral built entirely from slowly shifting stained-glass emotions—indigo guilt becoming emerald forgiveness becoming gold that has no name.

That was A Sequence of Colours – Parts 8 by Michael Brückner from the album A Sequence of Colours out on Cyclical Dreams
Projet -> Renard) Ost) – Avulsing Prometheus
https://maxencedubroca.bandcamp.com/track/avulsing-prometheus
The titan chained to the mountain suddenly realizing the eagle is just a very committed performance artist and the liver is optional.

That was Avulsing Prometheus by Projet -> Renard) Ost) who are Maxence Dubroca, Anita Franz & Simon Gris. This was from the album Jump Badger Jump.

And so the waves recede for another evening. Eight long forms. Eight patient unfoldings. If any of these pieces resonated in the quiet corners, you’ll find links to the artists and albums on the episode page at trevor.se and in the Mixcloud comments.

Feel free to leave a thought on the Mixcloud timeline. A sentence. A sigh. A single emoji that somehow says everything.

Until the next fragment of time pulls us back together… this is Trevor, signing off from Expansive Waves, episode twenty-five.
We end with 46 minutes from
DaFou – Time passing by, from the album Berlin Transit also out on Cyclical Dreams
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/time-passing-by
Standing on a moving Berlin sidewalk at 4 a.m. while every second of your life files past like friendly ghosts waving from trams that never quite stop.

Cheerio…

Deep Earth Network – Land 2 – 01:40
JSF – Time And Space, Compressed – 23:30
HDRF – Flowergate Coda – 39:50
*Zyggurat – Out of Darkness into Light – 50:50

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 187

23 March 2026

///grinning.cheek.traffic

(Loch Ness pub in Stockholm where the beer tastes like regret and possibility in equal measure)

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

…hey.
welcome back, or maybe welcome for the first time, to the slowest-growing show on the internet. or off it. whatever.
this is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-eight-seven.
we’re still calling it a virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous, but let’s be honest—it’s just me in a room full of blinking lights and dying batteries, trying to convince the void that independent music still matters.
twenty artists. no schedule. drops when the mood hits, which is usually when normal people are asleep.
the three-word subtitles? they’re What3Words locations that mean something to me. personal little coordinates. this one’s grinning.cheek.traffic. Stockholm pub. good beer, better stories you forget by morning.
If you want in—send weird files, codes, confessions, whatever—to trevlad@gmail.com.
labels getting the slow nod tonight: Moolakii Club Audio Interface, Castles In Space, Adventurous Music, Bricolage, Audiobulb, Ingrown Records, i u we records, Noray Records… the usual suspects haunting the margins.
styles? liminal ambient, hauntronica, post-disco, whatever falls between the cracks. places on the map: Québec, Prague, Pereira. the world’s getting smaller, but the weird corners are still there.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. that song that ruined or saved you. record it yourself or I’ll read it in my sleep-voice and play the track. win-win-win.
also doing Trev Tales now—stories woven into the sets. like this is one long dream you’re not sure you want to wake up from.
One new follower since last time. Paso stranger. cheers, mate. you’re in the club now. the one with no meetings and no rules.…

A soft hiss opens the curtain. dust motes spin in pale light. first pulse arrives like a hangover you didn’t earn.

First out f5point6 – The Second Day (Remastered).
https://f5point6.bandcamp.com/track/the-second-day-remastered
Grey dawn leaking through blinds that gave up years ago. yesterday’s coffee is a cold accusation in the mug. synths breathe slow, like fog rolling over abandoned motorways.
headphones on. let time dissolve. frequencies claim you. no refunds.…

That was ‘The Second Day (Remastered)’ – by f5point6 from the album ‘In Retrospect’ out on the See Blue Audio label.
The next artist is Ver – Combine.
https://secuenciastemporales.bandcamp.com/track/ver-combine-2
Metallic clanks fold into wet footsteps, voices smear across rusted combine blades turning in slow motion under an endless flat sky.

Yes ‘Combine’ by Ver from that ‘Commemorative Compilation’ I’ve been playing lately out on the Secuencias Temporales label.
And now Dåggěr (Szórëgg) – Telekinetic Coercion.
https://secuenciastemporales.bandcamp.com/track/d-gg-r-sz-r-gg-telekinetic-coercion
Invisible fingers press the temples, thoughts lift like iron filings toward a humming magnet, chair legs scrape backward without feet.

Crunchy, haunted vibes there with ‘Telekinetic Coercion’ by Dåggěr (Szórëgg) also from the ‘Commemorative Compilation’ release.
Dub time now, Rural District Lo-Fi Recording Project – Planning A Bootleg LP?
https://ruraldistrictlofirecordingproject.bandcamp.com/track/planning-a-bootleg-lp
Cassette deck whirs in a damp shed, pencil scratches setlists on yellowing paper, distant lawnmower drone leaks through the window like memory bleed.

Gotta love that ‘Planning A Bootleg LP?’ by Rural District Lo-Fi Recording Project from the self released album ‘Jolly Johnny and his Oompahing Oomlahs’.
Time to pull some shapes on the dance floor with Baxter Dury – Schadenfreude Ft. JGrrey
https://baxterdury.bandcamp.com/track/schadenfreude-ft-jgrrey
Cigarette cherry glows in the dark cab, someone else’s misfortune tastes sharp and sweet on the tongue, laughter curls like smoke rings.

That was ‘Schadenfreude Ft. JGrrey’ by Baxter Dury from the album ‘Allbarone’ out on Heavenly Recordings
We retire to the lounge with 36 – Echo Diffusion.
https://pitp.bandcamp.com/track/echo-diffusion
Synth notes dissolve into mist, each chord sends ripples across black water, distant towers repeat the lament softer, softer, gone.

You’ve been listening to ‘Echo Diffusion’ by 36 from the album ‘Reality Engine’ out on the Past Inside the Present label.
Now the wonderful Ann Annie – home. This is a short 2 minute outing.
https://annannie.bandcamp.com/track/home-3
Bare feet on sun-warmed floorboards, lace curtains breathe in and out, a kettle clicks off somewhere deeper in the house that still smells of yesterday’s bread.

Blissful acoustic guitar there in ‘home’ by Ann Annie from the album ‘El Prado’ available through the ’Nettwerk’ label.
Which brings us nicely to Empty House – Sea Birds
https://mcpm.bandcamp.com/track/sea-birds
Gulls wheel above peeling paint, empty rooms fill with salt wind, curtains flap like trapped wings against salt-crusted glass.

Hope you’re still with us on the planet after ’Sea Birds’ by Empty House from the album ‘MCPM018 compilation album’ out on the amazing Moolakii Club Audio Interface label.
Time to head back to the club now with Pablo Diarra – Humour noir.
https://songe-anima-records.bandcamp.com/track/humour-noir
Cigarette burns slow in ashtray, punchline lands like wet gravel, laughter echoes in an empty corridor lit only by neon bleeding through blinds.

Yes ‘Humour noir’ there by Pablo Diarra aka Saïph from the album ‘Griffe Sonam’ out on Songe Anima Records
Next up an artist I feature quite regularly James Adrian Brown – ‘Poster Child’ from the album ‘Forever Neon Lights’ out on channel champion label Castles In Space
https://jamesadrianbrown.bandcamp.com/track/poster-child
Faded gig poster curls at the edges, spotlight glare trapped in yellowing tape, young face staring back with too much certainty.
Catch you on the flip side.

B Side
Needle drops into silence, groove dust crackles, the hidden track breathes like someone left the tape running after everyone went home.
This is the legendary Deerhoof – Apple Bomb.
https://deerhoof.bandcamp.com/track/apple-bomb
Teeth sink into skin, juice sprays, frantic drums explode outward, tart sweetness turns chaotic sugar-rush panic.

Classic Deerhoof there with ‘Apple Bomb’ from the album ‘Apple O’’ available through Joyful Noise Recordings
Next we get some haunted chills via Catharæ, Trem 77 – Dreams of the Mediterranéant (Fade at Brighton Beach Mix)
https://adventurousmusic.bandcamp.com/track/dreams-of-the-mediterran-ant-fade-at-brighton-beach-mix
Waves lap shingle under sodium lamps, bougainvillea scent mixes with diesel and chips, sun-bleached dream fades into Brighton March grey.

Cheers to Trem 77 for sending me ‘Dreams of the Mediterranéant (Fade at Brighton Beach Mix)’ from the album ‘Dreams of the Méditerranéant’ out on the Adventurous Music label.
We stay in the same world now Minimal Drone GRL and Belial Pelegrim – A Remembered Land Long Forgotten
https://bricolageglasgow.bandcamp.com/track/a-remembered-land-long-forgotten
Low hum rises from cracked earth, ancient stone walls breathe dust, wind carries fragments of half-remembered songs across barren fields.

‘A Remembered Land Long Forgotten’ there by Minimal Drone GRL and Belial Pelegrim from the album ‘Movements of a Cloud’ out on the Bricolage label.
Time to get weird Keith Seatman – Another Strange Thing
https://keithseatman-cis.bandcamp.com/track/another-strange-thing
Ornate music box unwinds in attic gloom, figurine spins jerkily, something moves just beyond the torch beam.

Great work there in ‘Another Strange Thing’ by Keith Seatman from the album ‘Counting To Ten Then Back Again’ out on Castles In Space.
Next up a piece of my own as Trevlad – Furnish Rests Goggle
https://trevlad.bandcamp.com/track/furnish-rests-goggle
Old sofa sags under fairy lights, goggles fog with breath, synth arpeggios drift like cigarette smoke through thrift-shop clutter.

That was ‘Furnish Rests Goggle’ which is the What3Words geo location of a hotel I spent a few days in back in January. It’s from the album TVCL 10.
Next we go minimal and dark with Autistici – 2.25 Degrees of Internalisation
https://autistici.bandcamp.com/track/225-degrees-of-internalisation
Faint heartbeat clicks inside the skull, temperature drops 2.25°, thoughts fold inward like origami swans sinking in black ink.

You’ve been witness to ‘2.25 Degrees of Internalisation’ by Autistici from the album ‘Familiarity Unfolded’ out on the Audiobulb label.
Now to brighten things up a notch Heaven Topology – Adventure Compass
https://ingrown.bandcamp.com/track/adventure-compass
Needle quivers between impossible directions, star charts peel from damp walls, footsteps echo toward a horizon that bends upward.

Excellent ‘Adventure Compass’ by Heaven Topology from the album ‘Describer’ out on the king of listening parties Ingrown Records
I always like to add a pinch of Jazz to the episodes so here’s Robohands – Achilles
https://robohands.bandcamp.com/track/achilles
Tendon strings pluck taut, bronze dust settles on mechanical joints, slow-motion stride across cracked marble, heel exposed.

Great drumming there in ‘Achilles’ by Robohands from the album ‘Oranj’ out on Bastard Jazz Recordings
Now the longest track of this episode at just under 10 minutes. This is Never Sol – Dark Mountains, Red Dust
https://iuwerecords.bandcamp.com/track/never-sol-dark-mountains-red-dust
Boots crunch red powder, peaks swallow the sky, wind carries iron taste and distant thunder that never arrives.

What a trip in ‘Dark Mountains, Red Dust’ by Never Sol from one of the best compilations released so far this year ‘connected #3’ out on i u we records
Before we go our separate ways and the virtual tape clicks out. I just want to thank you all for taking the time to listen and I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links to the material are in the comments on Mixcloud, on trevor.se and on the channel substack.
To send us off Rhucle & Arbee – Plain from the album of the same name. Available on Noray Records
https://norayrecords.bandcamp.com/track/plain

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 186

21 March 2026

///worker.buffoon.exact

(Fasching Stockholm)

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 186, 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 Worker Buffoon Exact which is the entrance to Stockholms legendary jazz club Fasching.
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 couple of exclusive tracks at the time of recording from Salamanda and Haiku Salut together with Meg Morley.
Some of the labels that need an honourable mention are whitelabrecs, Mystery Circles, Mahorka, Cyclical Dreams and Lo Recordings to name a few.
Styles featured include electronica, ambient, minimal, space music and more.
Places worth mentioning are Bütgenbach, Belgium, Saint Petersburg, Russia, Seoul, South Korea, and Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Please do send in your stories for the Chord Confessions series 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 started Trev Tales a new idea of mixing story telling with DJ sets where I do a story based on the tracks in the set.
