Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 261. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
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.
Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps.
A dreamy, exploratory, and atmospheric ambient journey blending mystical electronics, Nordic cool, quirky whimsy, and celestial inheritance.
Side A drifts from dazed rhythms and time windows into telos purpose, cool air nostalgia, and rosewood calm. Side B flows through adventures, flugelhorn playfulness, inherited starlight, hypothetical colours, and snowy crossings.
Overall mood: Contemplative, whimsical, and wondrous with a blend of warmth, mystery, and quiet beauty. Perfect for deep listening, nature connection, or late-night immersion.
I’ve gone back to doing more podcast style episodes but I’ll do all the talking now in the intro as I’ve put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. There is just one break halfway through the episode to give the “virtual cassette” title a meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few subscribers who get to enjoy the 261 episodes plus the 823 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for 3 quid. It used to be a coffee.
This episode is inspired by the key of A# or Bb minor and based on the retro library charm of the track “Cool Air” by UK artist Jim Jupp under his “Belbury Poly” alias from the 4 track EP “Farmer’s Angle”.
Also on this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by an artists I know little about except that they’ve worked with my sister of the airwaves Kate Bosworth and have released most of their work on the wonderful Adventurous Music label this track titled “Das Zeitfenster” (the time window
) is from not so much an album but a book by Corina Retzlaff with artwork by Francis Théberge titled “Die Verschiebung der Zeit” (The shifting of time).
Then friend of us all Gavin Brick, aka, The Metamorph gives us his sparkling track “Telos” from his latest masterpiece album “From Cobalt to Aquamarine”.
Followed by the episode inspired Belbury Poly piece “Cool Air”.
After that, keeping it in the region with Frazer Brown and Alasdair O’May aka Dohnavùr with their track “Predicaments” from the collaboration album “Dohnavùr//Kl(aüs)” out on Castles in Space.
Ending the A side is the rather worldly piece titled “Rosewood and Olive” by Jeff Gburek + Eryk Nowacki from the album “Small Fires” out on the Mahorka label. A superb release.
Starting off Side B in Berlin school style with Leeds based Tim Stebbing and the track “The Adventure” taken from the “CYCLICAL MAGAZINE 21” EP out on my wonderful friends at Cyclical Dreams.
Followed by a character that’s very active on the scene Michael Evill aka Shambolic and here as The Music Liberation Front Sweden with the wonderfully hopeful track titled “Anyone Can Play The Flugelhorn Outside My Window” from his “Lost Hope Society” album released on Subexotic Records.
Then a piece by myself titled “Visit Impressing Backup” which is where the cover art for this piece is. Created by my friend Ylva Magnusson. It’s from the album “”TVCL 10”.
After that Daniel Avramescu together with Feast of Starlight. A mysterious cloud hovers over all the artists that appear on the label The Dream Journal Institute. All of which seem to be fictional (correct me if I’m wrong) this piece is titled “The Inheritor” and is from the release “The Cosmic Mystery Play”
Then the penultimate piece for today comes in the form of a Castles in Space sister label Lunar Module release from Phexioenesystems and their stunning floating piece titled “Hypothetical Colours” from the album “Patterns in Condensate”
Finishing us off is an artist that is the wonderful Portsmouth finest, Mr. Simon Heartfield and the uplifting track “Across The Snow” from his release “Stella Rossa”.
But first, to set the vibe is Faroese-Icelandic Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen collectively known as Kiasmos and the piano injected Idm track “Dazed” from their album “II” out on Erased Tapes.
Now settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A thoughtful and emotionally layered ambient journey moving between hope, nostalgia, and darkness.
Side A offers gentle optimism and delicate beauty, while Side B drifts into warped nostalgia, hauntological melancholy, and ends in deep, dramatic intensity.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 220
Honey Sky Prelude
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A serene and expansive ambient journey blending cosmic exploration, earthly resonance, and gentle mysticism.
Side A drifts through peaceful Japanese-inspired skies into warm intimacy and long-form cosmic psychedelia, ending on a melancholic note. Side B grounds the mix with deep naturalistic drones before rising into vertical electronics, subtle conspiracy, tender organic moments, and surreal dreamlike finales.
Overall mood: Calm, contemplative, and subtly psychedelic with a warm, wistful glow. It feels exploratory yet intimate — like drifting between inner reflection and outer space. Perfect for deep relaxation, meditation, or golden-hour listening.
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.

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…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178
15 February 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
A sonic journey with a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
We float tonight through drifts of ambient electronic, modular wanderings, dubwise echoes, some art rock angles, leftfield pop inflections, drone undertows, and the odd burst of experimental pop. Places flicker by: Wormhole World gatherings, Republic of Music corners, Castles in Space haunts, Invisible Inc. pathways, Four Flies shadows, and points scattered from Lancashire to Vilnius, Munich to Mexico City.
The longest stretch in the selection comes from Caught in Joy – Elsewhere, a patient unravelling that lingers in the mind. The shortest snaps past in a flash with Allmanna Town – Sample 24, not even reaching the minute mark.
We begin with Dubberrookie and Winter Weather, a seasonal drift from A Wormhole Xmas 2025 on Wormhole World. Chilled dub pulses meet wintry synth haze, gentle echoes folding into themselves like snow settling on rooftops.
Headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the frequencies claim you.
Dubberrookie – Winter Weather. Dubberrookie will appear on my upcoming compilation “Puzzles of the Psyche”. There’s still time. Send in your entries by March 25.
Now Floating Points with Precursor, the bonus unreleased cut from the Elaenia 10 Year Anniversary on the Republic of Music label. Sparse piano gestures meet subtle electronic undercurrents, a quiet prelude that breathes slow and deliberate.
Floating Points – Precursor.
Next up Bahia Brazil based artist – Navin Kala offers Vijf from Spinoza on a favourite label of the show Mystery Circles. Minimalist piano lines trace thoughtful paths, space around each note allowing contemplation to gather.
Navin Kala – Vijf. A reminder now if you have a piece of music that has meant a lot to you for some reason tell me about it. I’m putting together a new show called “Chord Confessions” and I need some tales behind the most important music ever released. PM me on the socials or email me trevlad@gmail.com Now back to the show.
Now amping up the drone. Stewart Keller brings Disheveled Zen from the whopping 100 track 2020-2025 Archives. Loosened field recordings and soft electronics tangle in a relaxed, almost accidental calm.
Stewart Keller – Disheveled Zen.
Here’s me Trevlad with Curving Archive Scales from the Trick or Treat 4 compilation on Sounds for the Soul. Archive dust and curving scales weave a long, meditative thread, time marked in subtle modular shifts.
Trevlad – Curving Archive Scales. Just a quick shout out to the latest followers Bernt Haas, who I believe is part of the Cries from the LTN outfit. Also Liquid Shape and The Tall Librarian. Thanks for the follow.
Now Mexico City based artists Eafhm and Mwamwa collaborate on Luzne (Mwamwa Part) from the split release on Secuencias Temporales. Dubby bass hums beneath fragmented vocal traces, a hazy half-step wander.
Eafhm, Mwamwa – Luzne (Mwamwa Part).
And now for something completely different. Deerhoof deliver L’Amour Stories from Apple O’ on Joyful Noise Recordings. Quick, angular art rock bursts with playful yelps and tight rhythmic jabs.
Deerhoof – L’Amour Stories.
Garda slips in Substratum from S-Lyga on the Neotantra label. Deep drone layers build slow atmospheric weight, substratum textures rumbling low.
Garda – Substratum.
Now time to punk it up. Tinned Meats present Caught in the Wild from Kilter on I Heart Noise. Raw edges meet noisy propulsion, caught somewhere between garage grit and wilder impulses. Mad stuff…
Tinned Meats – Caught in the Wild.
And now Keith Seatman with Tonight’s Guests Are? from the forthcoming Counting to Ten Then Back Again on Castles in Space. Radiophonic quirks and psych-folk fragments evoke childhood games and firework packaging memories, playful yet oddly disorienting.
Keith Seatman – Tonight’s Guests Are?
The Polish legend of Coconut Creek, Caught in Joy closes Side A with Elsewhere.
Karol is the most prolific Berlin school artist on the planet. He produces so much quality music on a weekly basis. Which he records live and can be witnessed on his Youtube channel. Analogue drooling adventures. The track Elsewhere is from the release Colorfield. Self released back in mid December. Karol has released 4 albums since then just for some perspective. This is Analogue coloured space drifts to close out the first side of the show.
Side B
We turn the cassette. If you have something you want featured on the shows lease don’t be shy. I’m not on a schedule which means I get to do shows several times a week, which means you won’t have to wait long to hear your music here. Here’s a label that does just that from the fantastic Italian label Four Flies Records. Chiaré opens with Ago e Filo from the album Sei. Italian library echoes meet modern restraint, strings and subtle grooves threading through.
Chiaré – Ago e Filo.
Now LOULA YORKE shares The Hidden Messages in Water (Live at the Mount Without) from Live Compendium 2 on Truxalis. Live-captured modular meditations unfold with quiet intensity, water-like ripples expanding.
LOULA YORKE – The Hidden Messages in Water (Live at the Mount Without).
Next another artist who has contributed in the past to my compilations the fantastic The Music Liberation Front Sweden who arrive with A Lot Of Things Ain’t Changing from their collection on Third Kind Records. Warped pop edges bend familiar shapes into something skewed and resilient.
The Music Liberation Front Sweden – A Lot Of Things Ain’t Changing.
And Now Higamos Hogamos rework Re-Exit (GK Machine Dub Voyager) from Voyager Dubs on Glasgows Invisible, Inc. Deep dub transformations stretch the original into cavernous space.
Higamos Hogamos – Re-Exit (GK Machine Dub Voyager).
Francesca Guccione offers Mechanical Promenade from Connected 3 on IUWE Records. Mechanical rhythms promenade alongside delicate electric piano, a poised mechanical dance. A wonderful must have compilation celebrating 9 of the best female experimental electronic out there. In fact the entire label focuses on the beauty of female diversity in electronic music. Enjoy.
Francesca Guccione – Mechanical Promenade.
Komodo Kolektif follow with Disciple Of The Drone (GK Machine Disciple Of The Dub) also from that Voyager Dubs compilation on Invisible, Inc. Drone devotion meets dub disciple rites, heavy and hypnotic. Invisible, Inc. is a label I wish I could play more of on the channel, and just can’t for financial reasons. They are great so if you can grab some of their beautiful physical releases.
Komodo Kolektif – Disciple Of The Drone (GK Machine Disciple Of The Dub).
Now friend of the show Russian artist Ndorfik contributes Tahvi from Solos on People Can Listen. 5/8 Idm explorations carve sparse, introspective paths. Ndorfik has enlightened me on the fact that Mixcloud is not available without streaming through VPNs in his neck of the woods. So I send him the files of past shows so he can spread the good word.
Ndorfik – Tahvi.
Now the penultimate track and two masters of the ambient scene. Rhucle & Arbee bring Mournful Sky from Plain on David Cordero curated label Noray Records. Mournful ambient skies drift with gentle melancholy, field-like textures breathing slow.
Rhucle & Arbee – Mournful Sky.
Material for future shows is always welcome. Send your vibrations to trevlad@gmail.com. Purchase paths glow at trevor.se and in each show’s timeline.
Until the next cassette turns.
Trevor, signing off from Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178.
I leave you with the very short track Sample 24 by Allmanna Town Allmanna Town is Phil Dodds who runs the amazing Waxing Crescent Records and my fellow Stockholm dweller Jonas Geiger Ohlin of The New Emphatic fame. this track is from Rodents out on their own Bandcamp imprint. Sampled fragments glitch and reform in rodent-quick bursts.
And that fades us out. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 162
1 January 2026
Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑six‑two of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Mugs Softest Owners—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words.
Before we begin, a very warm Happy New Year to you. Whether you’re listening on a walk, in the quiet of the early hours, or hiding from the world with a pair of headphones, I hope 2026 brings you peace, curiosity, and a few unexpected sonic discoveries.
We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun. And a quick note: the tracks by Simon McCorry and Gregory Paul Mineeff in this episode are exclusives from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation sleeplaboratory6.0. Apologies to Harry for playing so many pieces from this wonderful release, which drops tomorrow, the 2nd of January. When something’s good, it’s hard not to share it.
Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right.
The rest of the show wanders through kosmische corners, microtonal detours, lullabies, croquettes, mythology, therapy, vortexes, and the occasional snow‑dusted memory. The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it.
So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 144
21 November 2025
“Evening all. Episode one-four-four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Decades Copying Observer. That’s the track you can hear underneath, and, oddly enough, it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—up on YouTube if you’re curious.”
“I’m Trevor. Ninety minutes here, two sides, forty-five minutes each. Fifteen tracks per set. No chatter, no interruptions. Just the music, rolling on like a festival stage that turns—one act fading, another coming into view.”
“Keys in focus this time: D sharp, E flat, and C minor. New friends joining us, Solar Phasing, Bary Center, and Futurum. familiar names returning, Floating Points, The Future Sound of London, The Twelve Hour Foundation, Ian Boddy and more. labels like Cyclical Dreams, Mahorka, Mortality Tables, Buried Treasure, Projekt Records, and Ingrown Records keeping the whole thing alive. They’re the soul of the show, really. There’s even an exclusive track from WHI Recordings from the album General Purpose Electronic Sound Vol.4 dropping December 5th.”
“If you’d like to be part of these missions, send your work to trevlad@gmail.com. Track links are at trevor.se, and marked in the Mixcloud timeline. The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre-order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. And the first compilation, Murmurs in the Mist, is out now, with forty-five artists involved.”
