Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 296
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-296/
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 cosmic, slightly archival ambient journey through uncharted quadrants, greenhouse arks, and nine worlds below.
Side A drifts from exclusive galactic isolation and catalystic dreaming into a lumbering poem-machine, last-forest arks, Portuguese hardware colour, and hymns that give everything they have. Side B opens in guitar-and-harmony tranquility, then moves through Kosmische hover, shadow-planet rework, Niflhel depths, a vacation-light response, and ends in a slanted average where nothing needs proving.
Overall mood: Expansive, contemplative, and quietly generous — full of star-aimed memory, analogue drive, and safe mediocrity. Perfect for deep listening, late hours, or sitting still while the tape finds its own orbit.
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.

00:11:17 Le Morte d’Abby – A Poem
Le Morte d’Abby – A Poem. Acid-based skitter and dueling melodies move at one hundred and thirty bpm. Forlorn pads give way to a lumbering Miyazaki machine of metal-on-wood.
00:18:29 vOLKER rAPP – The arks Berkshire, Valley Forge, Sequoia and Mojave

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.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 189
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
03 April 2026
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…

Labels orbiting here include Mahorka, Shimmering Moods, and Adventurous Music. Styles range from ambient and drone to electroacoustic, kosmische, and experimental jazz. These transmissions stretch across places—London, Toronto, Melbourne, and Rouen—woven into the library’s signal.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 283
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-283/
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. Episode 283. 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.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,113 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.
A luminous, cyclical ambient journey through growth, presence, and quiet residual signals.
Side A moves from synthesizer motivation and passionflower florescence into thunderous self-declaration, whimsical DNA colours, whispering forests, and noctilucent evening light. Side B drifts through reconstructed Vietnamese microcosms, Windham Hill shadows, rain-soaked baseline drift, honey-warm communal jazz, silent Wardenclyffe towers, and ends with a dark horse moving through open fields.
Overall mood: Contemplative, organic, and gently radiant — full of cycles of growth, soft illumination, and quiet architectural presence. Perfect for deep listening, reflective evenings, or following the continuous unfolding of sound.
The tape unspools its visions.
00:00:00 Marc Melià – Cycle of Motivation
Synthesizer circuitry opens into quiet luminous beauty. Marc Melià – Cycle of Motivation. Ambient and experimental tones sculpt the open spaces between notes into a melodic tapestry. Shared sonic connections rise in serene sequential layers across the field of reflection.
00:04:36 KiF Productions – Florescence
A passionflower climbs through stages of growth in soft plant light. KiF Productions – Florescence. Secret seeds wait in darkness before the first stir of movement. Vines reach toward open light, drinking and climbing until full bloom arrives in pollination dreams. Fruiting returns the cycle to earth in patient unfolding motion.
00:09:22 Le Morte d’Abby – That I Am
Thunder and lightning gather around the declaration of presence. Le Morte d’Abby – That I Am. Lush chords whoosh into existence while arpeggios and percussive energy expand across the surface. The entire piece rises in spiritual comfort and unbridled radiant motion.
00:15:51 Daily Mail Comments Section – Estradiol Milkshake
A dream of new sound opens into whimsical smear-test colours. Daily Mail Comments Section – Estradiol Milkshake. Sonic DNA from shared lives drifts through the air, the surface expanding in inventive playful light.
00:17:27 Enofa – The Whispering Forest
A whispering forest surrounds a small modernist house in woodland setting. Enofa – The Whispering Forest. Acoustic and digital tones mesh across eighty minutes of personal vista. Ancient modernity rises through nature’s unstoppable force, the entire landscape holding claustrophobic and open power in steady motion.
00:20:57 The Green Kingdom – Noctilucent
Noctilucent light drifts across evening skies of soft piano and reverb-soaked guitar. The Green Kingdom – Noctilucent. Sampled textures and occasional synthesizer layers settle into calm airy space. The sounds open in dusky reflective presence.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
00:24:10 Dexba – Hồ Bán Cạn Việt Nam
A quirky melody reconstructs outdoor nature while classical piano gives structure. Dexba – Hồ Bán Cạn Việt Nam. The entire microcosm expands in self-contained luminous motion.
00:28:51 Akira Film Script – The Shadow of Windham Hill
Shadows of Windham Hill open across bidirectional cycles of existence. Akira Film Script – The Shadow of Windham Hill. Life and death, memory and presence move together in exchange. The track looks backward and forward at once, finding beauty in endings and beginnings.
00:33:20 Logic Moon & Piscean Daydreams – Baseline Drift
Baseline drift carries the music of the spheres through rain-soaked cityscapes. Logic Moon & Piscean Daydreams – Baseline Drift. Vast drones and spectral textures rise with richly layered field recordings. Organic and synthetic boundaries blur across industrial ruins and desolate rural landscapes, the cosmos holding hidden resonance.
00:36:52 Hill Collective – A House Is A Home Like Honey
A house opens like honey in warm communal light. Hill Collective – A House Is A Home Like Honey. Spiritual jazz tones breathe through collective improvisation. Saxophone, flute, piano, double bass and congas expand in earthy shared motion, the ensemble generating warmth and illumination together.
00:44:41 Paul Beaudoin – Wardenclyffe (Nothing returned)
Wardenclyffe towers stand in quiet residual signal. Paul Beaudoin – Wardenclyffe (Nothing returned). Granular field recordings and low-voltage processes form disrupted circuits. Tone, breath and resonance hum at the threshold of presence, the architecture listening to what remains.
00:49:21 Asha Patera – A Dark Horse
A dark horse moves through open sonic fields. Asha Patera – A Dark Horse. The landscape expands in steady luminous presence.
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?
