(Stigbergets Fot)

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 181, broadcasting from the enigmatic coordinates of Stockholm Sweden. ///prickly.solved.sweated, is the episodes subtitle. This is also a coordinate where shadows stretch long over Stigbergs Fot, a wonderful Stockholm craft beer joint I highly recommend. It’s a crisp February 27, 2026 here. Picture this: a dimly lit attic stacked with glowing tape decks, reels spinning like forgotten galaxies, pulling you into a sonic odyssey for the curious explorer.
Subscribe to the channel to hear these shows whenever you please. Subscribers also get mix versions of the episodes without the talky bits.
Just a quick shout out to the latest followers Toneshift who is An artist-curated podcast focused on global hybrids and other acquired tastes. Also souljazzfunksters aka Dj Alan Ritchie playing just what the name suggests. Thanks guys.

We kick off in a vast, 9 minute, echoing void with Small Chief’s The Silent Zone, evoking cracked earth under a moonless sky, whispers of wind carving canyons in the quiet.
From the album Zero Movement out on Cyclical Dreams. So headphones on, let time dissolve and let the frequencies claim you.…

Next Tornado Wallace summons Asahi Ga Yondeiru featuring Courtney Bailey, like dawn rays piercing misty rice fields, steam rising from dew-kissed leaves in a serene call to awaken. Fist pumping electronica here. From the EP Left At Sunset, out on the Running Back label.

Now, Consumed Triumphant & Pavel Blumkin ignite Invisible Fire, flames dancing unseen in a dense forest at midnight, embers glowing through fog-shrouded branches. From the conceptual EP The Chariot.

Next d’Voxx haunts with Phantom (Nosferatu the Vampyre), a crumbling castle turret where caped figures glide across cobblestone, echoes of eternal night in the stone. From the album HERZOG: A Retrospective out on the great DiN label.

Coming up Lorenzo Montanà invites us into Mirrors’ Den, reflections fracturing in a labyrinth of glass, endless hallways mirroring starlit illusions. From the NYP album Velan out on Projekt Records. Go add this to your collection.

And now I Trevlad stir Easy Begun Meals, a cluttered kitchen at sunrise, pots simmering with unexpected spices, steam curling like improvised melodies.
From the ninth collection of episode background soundtracks. If you can’t subscribe to the Mixcloud channel please consider purchasing an album on Bandcamp.

Next, the longest outing on this episode clocking in at 9 minutes 36 seconds. Jake Soffer & Brent Carmer open The Room Where We Met, faded wallpaper peeling in a sunlit chamber, dust motes swirling in golden beams of memory. From the album Imaginary Rooms. Another Projekt Records NYP release.

Now, Shrimpnose lifts us to Hovering, clouds parting over a floating city, gentle drifts in an aerial ballet of soft geometries. From the album Aureolin Winter out on La’s Friends Of Friends label.

The penultimate track for this side of the virtual cassette. Kavalcade unleashes DECAY 01, rusted machinery grinding in an abandoned factory, sparks flying from corroded gears under flickering neon. From the EP SIGNAL which drops May 1 on Machine Records.

We end the first half with Philippe Petit who drapes Tropicalism in an Empire wardrobe, velvet curtains parting on a colonial ballroom overgrown with vines, exotic blooms tangling with faded grandeur. The shortest piece at only 49 seconds. From the album The Acoustic Cornet, an hommage to Leonora Carrington out on Mahorka.

Flipping to the B side, Nadia Struiwigh modulates MOD1, circuit boards humming in a sterile lab, pulses syncing like neural fireworks in chrome reflections. From a compilation I’ve played extensively on the channel, connected #3, from the great label i u we records.

Next, a show exclusive. The Eyes and the Mistoids trail Snails That Failed, slimy paths glistening on rain-slicked garden stones, slow spirals unraveling under overcast skies. From the album The Beware Gallery which will drop on March 20 on Waxing Crescent Records.

Now, Brass Clouds, Fog Net, & Volcanic Pinnacles plunge into Subduction, tectonic plates shifting beneath ocean depths, bubbles rising from volcanic vents in abyssal gloom. From the album Dive 2: Sonoluminescence out on Bathysphere Records.

Coming up, Erik Wøllo charts North Trek, snow-capped peaks piercing arctic twilight, auroras weaving ribbons across frozen expanses. From the album, Snow Tides. Yet another NYP release from Projekt Records.

Next, Helyg Weidenbach erects Dream Scaffold I, ethereal ladders climbing into cloud realms, mist-shrouded rungs leading to surreal vistas. From the album, Traumgerüst, also a NYP album courtesy of The Dream Journal Institute.

Now, Amanda Whiting wanders Mary Over There, a foggy meadow at dusk, wildflowers nodding in the haze of distant horizons. Most recently released on the NYP compilation album Two Syllables Volume Twenty Two. Released by First Word Records.

Next, Louis Sarno captures Bayaka women singing yeyi in the forest (Central African Republic), ancient trees canopying harmonious calls, leaves rustling in rhythmic unity with hidden streams. From the compilation A Century of Sounds out on Cities and Memory.

Now, Japanese artist Yasutaka Sato aka Virgo blooms Zoophyte, underwater gardens swaying in currents, coral tendrils unfurling like living sculptures in turquoise light. From the album, Roots of Memories (Remastered- Deluxe Edition), out on Neo Ouija.

Next we switch it up. Psyché brews another exclusive track, Yagé, jungle vines twisting around a ceremonial fire, visions flickering in the smoke of ritual embers. From the album Psyché II dropping on Four Flies Records on March 20.

And we’ve reached the final track. Thanks for sticking around for this virtual mix show, twenty artists lighting up the unknown. No rigid timetable, just raw devotion to the waves. Subscribe for anytime access, including babble-free mixes. Drop your sounds at trevlad@gmail.com, and trace the trails at trevor.se.
And finally The Gaye Device flows with Ebb And Flow, tidal pools reflecting shifting skies, waves lapping at barnacle-encrusted rocks in perpetual motion. From couple of places, the latest being, the Sounds for the Soul label compilation – Ocean Compilation 2.
