Skivcentrum in Uppsala where I bought Bitches Brew.
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. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-six. We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous. But really it’s just me and the frequencies in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets we exist. Stream it free for seven days on Mixcloud. The background track is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11 on Bandcamp. The episodes are sonic journeys with metaphysical flips at the halfway mark—perfect for long walks, mental wanders, or quiet moments alone with the universe. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins. This episode is broadcasting from a record store in Uppsala where I bought Bitches Brew. Headphones on. Let time dissolve. And let the frequencies claim you.

[Outro] You’ve been listening to… well, everything. 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, frequencies and me. Send files, codes, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com. See you in the next crack in the wall. Cheerio…
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.
