Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 319
Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes, which in my experience is usually Tuesdays, or during eclipses, or when the kettle boils. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-set outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread. Unless you look. Don’t look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A clock that insists the world is already the argument, then a house that hums because it was cursed to.
Side A opens the door unlatched on a cuckoo that has already said what it came to say, builds a choir from stones that will not give the words, fidgets in Latin for a sound that will not sit still, files tears under ocean and returns the glass, sets a plate for a love that left no chair pushed in, and steps into a puddle that learned to be a room. Side B runs a rite hotter than the room agreed to, cuts a faun from the seventh tray of stones, reaches the far point of an orbit, refuses a capital letter for nights that would rather not be introduced, walks the last few steps into silence, and keeps the hymn book and the haunting on the same shelf.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly haunted, and quietly ritual — full of unlatched doors, lowercase dreams, and sanctuaries that sing whether you asked or not. Perfect for dusk listening, houses with a curse, or sitting still while the ripples never quite reach the edge.
Mood mist: a clock that insists the world is already the argument, a choir built from stones, Latin for a sound that will not sit still, tears filed under ocean, a love that left its plate, a puddle that learned to be a room.
00:02:12 Portland Vows – Everything Is The Case
https://portland-vows.bandcamp.com/track/everything-is-the-case

Album: signals in the static. Label: handstitched*

https://metronrecords.bandcamp.com/track/puddle-underwater
Album: Sphere. Label: Métron Records
A sphere you can step in without wetting the hem. Métron counting the ripples that never reach the edge.
Mood mist: a rite that runs hot, a faun cut from the seventh tray of stones, the far point of an orbit, nights that refuse a capital letter, a walk that ends in quiet, a house that sings because it was cursed to.
00:20:17 Electric Circus – High Fever
https://electriccircus3.bandcamp.com/track/high-fever-2

The sanctuary of song, inside a house with a curse. Clay Pipe keeping the hymn book and the haunting on the same shelf.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 308
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another 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 between-worlds ambient journey through vanished lanes, quiet trees, and maps that keep leaving the paper.
Side A walks you home along a Lincolnshire lane that no longer exists, docks in a corridor of light, holds its breath beneath Yiddish trees, answers every name water has ever been given, climbs an Atlas ascent through drowned architecture, and posts a wet summer postcard from Koblenz. Side B decides the right thing is just to leave, sits at a hummingbird campfire, hums the normal order of things after midnight, names an uncatalogued creature, paints the moon with earthshine, and ends on an atlas of shifting clouds.
Overall mood: Melancholic, luminous, and quietly migratory — full of Passed Oceans, analog weight, and weather with no name in the rear-view. Perfect for late listening, leaving rooms gently, or sitting still while the tide rearranges the map.
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.
00:01:56 gribbles – As then, so now
https://gribbles.bandcamp.com/track/as-then-so-now-3
We begin with a friend of the library, Graham Thorpe. From the album “Agatewards” released September 4, 2026.
Picture two old voices walking you home along a Lincolnshire lane that no longer exists, a gramophone left open in a 1920s church field, the dialect still warm in the hedges.
00:06:07 Ancient Astronaut – Between Worlds
https://ancientastronaut.bandcamp.com/track/between-worlds
Aka Eric Allietta. From the album “Inner Worlds”.
A French satellite parked in a corridor of light where only love is permitted to dock. You are invited to step out of the airlock and into the quiet rooms you keep behind your own ribs.
00:09:50 Beymer – Shtil (Hush)
https://imaginarynorth.bandcamp.com/track/shtil-hush
All music performed, mixed, and mastered by Daniel Field. From the album “Beneath the Trees” out on Imaginary North, Toronto, Ontario.

https://passedrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/th-lassa

From the album “The Atlas Sector” out on Projekt Records. Portland, Oregon.

https://ejeeje.bandcamp.com/track/beija-flor
From the album “Mezze” out on Batov Records. Itamar Kluger.

00:34:48 Raphael Leray – The normal order of things
https://hyletapes.bandcamp.com/track/the-normal-order-of-things

https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/track/earthshine-2
From the album “Earthshine”.
released September 18, 2026
Sunlight bouncing off us and painting the dark side of the moon. Analog tape running slow enough for the notes to remember they once had weight.
00:46:45 Philippe Deschamps, The Goodnight Project – Atlas of Shifting Clouds
https://philippedeschampsfilms.bandcamp.com/track/atlas-of-shifting-clouds
From the album “Maps of an Invisible World”.
A map drawn in wind and granular dust. Every contour already leaving the paper.

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. Dolly Dolly & Fogroom, weareforests, Ida Urd & Ingri Høyland, and Philippe Neau guide us gently to the final fade.

Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 086
Shadow Variations.
🚀✨ Welcome to Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 086. Trevor here—transmitting once again from the fog-fringed sanctuary of Sollentuna, Sweden. Welcome aboard episode 086 of Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library, your sonic vessel for deep immersion and metaphysical resonance.
Today, we drift through a 90-minute odyssey: a two-sided portal cut into time, perfect for long twilight walks, candlelit notebooks, and cosmic solitude. At the halfway mark, the tape flips—and so might your perspective.
🌀 Our astral sponsors today include the tone keepers of Whitelabrecs, Batov Records, rohs! records, Driftworks, Downstream Records, Mahorka, and Audiobulb—labels that keep the spiritual machinery oiled and humming.
Featured artists lending their frequencies to the air: 🎴 Warmfield, Sons Of Faust, and Patrick R. Pärk. Special blessings to James at Viaduct Promotions for the Jamie Lidell offering, to Graham Thorpe and Plank Tone for kind echoes on episode 085, and to aeon music and ray of hope 858—for lighting torches in the archive.
🎶 This episode holds a single shimmering exclusive track by Adrian Lane—“Swallowed by the World,” from the album Where Once We Danced. Born from BBC Radio 3 whispers and strung across piano, strings, and eroded collages, Adrian’s newest work is a timeworn spell—a mist-cloaked remembrance written in chords and texture. It’s his most classical offering yet, tempered by ambient edge and handcrafted melancholy.
Alongside Adrian’s piece, the forest grows deeper with sonic threads from: Noctyrn, Jiri Jiri, Warmfield, Trevlad, Michele Di Martino, Bryan Rohmer, Jamie Lidell, Sons Of Faust, Andrew Heath, Mark Ellery Griffiths, Fabio Keiner, BVSMV, Bowing, Jeff Gburek, Patrick R. Pärk, Eje Eje, LOULA YORKE, Rival Consoles, Wilfried Hanrath, and Marc Neys.
No spoken interludes from me—this transmission breathes in uninterrupted form. Speak through the timeline, whisper in the comments. I’ll be listening.
