A captivating cosmic and atmospheric journey blending space ambient, cinematic electronics, and warm analogue nostalgia.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to episode 211 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 “Ghosted” by Lone Cosmonaut from the name your price EP “Ghosted” which dropped on the 21st of May via The Committee for Sonic Research label. Also a massive thank you to Lone Cosmonaut, Ian Boddy at DiN Records, Pablo Bilbao at Cyclical Dreams and Colin Morrison at Castles in Space for sponsoring the episode with material. A captivating cosmic and atmospheric journey blending space ambient, cinematic electronics, and warm analogue nostalgia. Side A drifts through ethereal astral planes, lonely ghost transmissions, dark hypnotic voids, and stylish Italian evening grooves. Side B expands with bright hopeful radiance, grand orchestral Moog swells, intricate rhythms, and deep philosophical layers before closing on mysterious folkloric darkness. Overall mood: Dreamy, mysterious, and emotionally rich with a strong sense of wonder and solitude. It feels like floating through starlit skies, abandoned satellites, and warm summer nights — equal parts cosmic isolation and comforting analogue warmth. Perfect for late-night listening, stargazing, or immersive headphone 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. One side flip, just the music.

votes.riddle.tuck. Brams burgers – great burger joint. Now it’s just a coordinate for whatever this episode is.
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-nine. 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. Headphones on. Let time dissolve. And let the frequencies claim you. We’re bunching it tonight – four transmissions at a time, like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
FIRST CLUSTER Four signals crawling out of the high passes and the liberation fronts. Sonic-Soma – Kinnaur Calling – Cities and Memory, Nepal field recordings turned into sonic soma. The Music Liberation Front Sweden – Astra Shambotica – Submarine Broadcasting, astral jazz revolution. Grosso Gadgetto – Quadrata Dodus Act 2 – Bulgarian label Mahorka, who might be the reason for me not doing these episodes for a few days. Keep an eye and ear out for future Planck Tone episodes I may be guesting. Willebrant – Dell – atmospheric drone from down under. Birds in the rain. A must. You just survived the first transmission: Sonic-Soma, The Music Liberation Front Sweden, Grosso Gadgetto, and Willebrant. The space between us is definitely thinner now.
SECOND CLUSTER Brain shells cracking open, hits amended, voids flattered, dust explained. Zerfranzt – Hirnschale – which means skull or, the nicer translation of, Brain case from Kaiseki Digital, who I’ve been playing lately as Free Album Codes has provided me with codes for some early releases from 2018. German synaptic spill. Trevlad – Hits Enjoyable Amended – self-released soundscape from the episode of the same name. A repeat name from the spot where I try and sleep most nights. This one’s from the album TVCL 10 and has nothing to do with the track of the same name from TVCL 09. Puscha – Sycophanatic – NEN, Melbourne cinematic hypnosis. Provided by Fonodroom. Everyday Dust – Without Explanation – Dustopian Frequencies, Scottish drone stories that evaporate.
You just floated through Zerfranzt, Trevlad, Puscha, and Everyday Dust. Halfway mark is creeping up. I’m starting to feel that metaphysical flip? The universe just winked at you and kept walking.
THIRD CLUSTER (pre-B Side) Edges blurring, bodies floating. phorme – blur – Kaiseki Digital, Australian meditative haze from NSW. Also from 2018. Takashi Kusano – Floating – Sounds for the Soul, Japanese levitation. And then comes the B Side… phorme and Takashi Kusano just lifted you clean out of gravity. Now the bench is empty and the cats are from hell.
FOURTH CLUSTER (B Side) Empty benches, hellcat beats, half-human wires, clinical worms. Substak – Empty Bench – Daydreamers, Greek meditative park-bench snippet. Le Morte d’Abby – Nyanko No Jigoku Beat – dark electro from the neon underworld. Jilk – Half-Human – Bricolage, Glasgow idm hybrid soul. The Foot & Leg Clinic – Worms 2 – alternative rock diagnosis under fluorescent lights. You just sat on Substak’s Empty Bench, got bitten by Le Morte d’Abby’s hellcats, glitched with Jilk, and received a full worm examination from The Foot & Leg Clinic. Your body is now 40% frequency.
FIFTH CLUSTER Appetizers of life, grace with nothing, tidal animation tags, Nordic sea breath. The Appetizers – The Life – Italian roots reggae funk from Rome. Rejoicer – Grace Was Happy (I Found Nothing) – LA epiphany of joyful emptiness. Sounds as if Weather Report did music for film. Record Of Tides – Yoshimoto Animation Tag – Mahorka hauntological Japanese cels on the tide. Glitchy 8-bit crackles. Albin – Havet – Paltunes, Swedish sea inhaling your thoughts. Everything Albin Johansson touches glows with a nostalgic warmth I can never get enough of. You just tasted The Appetizers, let Rejoicer’s Grace smile at nothing, rode Record Of Tides’ animation waves, and sank into Albin’s Havet. The apartment is underwater now.
FINAL CLUSTER Rain shelter geometry and half-a-day London melt. Kikagaku Moyo – Amayadori – Guruguru Brain, psychedelic Tokyo forest clearing. ff8282 – london / half the day – 4000 Records, fractured electronic daydreams. You just sheltered with Kikagaku Moyo and melted through half a London day with ff8282. That’s the whole set. 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 and marked in the timeline. 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 drywall. Cheerio…
