Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 278

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-278/

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 278. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark. Whether you’re ready or not.

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.

I’m trying something new by not introducing the artists, but instead incorporating their work into an incantation of sorts.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,107 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.

A free-flowing, reflective ambient journey through sensory electronics, memory, and quiet personal growth.
Side A moves from biological-electrical parallels and anisotropic expansion into lo-fi peace, earth-toned experiments, momentary swells, and one-note joy. Side B drifts through early-synth sci-fi, molecular machinery, endless Ukrainian fields, youthful better ways, fluttering reassurance, and pleasant loss at C.
Overall mood: Contemplative, warm, and gently expansive — balancing scientific curiosity with emotional depth and soft analogue comfort. Perfect for deep listening, late-night reflection, or peaceful immersion.

Side A

Veins of living light pulse through a lattice of roots and circuit traces. The British Stereo Collective – Bloodrush. Biological pathways merge with electrical grids in a continuous glowing network. Neurological rivers flow into digital rivers. Sequencer patterns rise in free-form currents of sensory electronics, carrying the entire landscape forward in one unbroken surge of warm voltage.

Space stretches in every direction at unequal speeds. Ty Lumnus – Anisiotropic Expansion. Horizons lengthen into luminous corridors of shifting density. Particles drift along invisible axes, forming soft geometric clouds that keep expanding outward in quiet anisotropic bloom.

A solitary figure walks away from a city of fading neon into open starfields. LoveKrafty – Peace Out. Lo-fi cassette warmth coats every surface in soft analog grain. The path opens into a junkie space opera of surreal colour, where the traveller follows a new trajectory through swirling planetary dust and glowing debris fields.

Earth pigments swirl across an endless canvas of evolving texture. Analogue Path – Tempera Terra. Early exploratory tones layer themselves into rich mineral hues. The road ahead unfolds as a long sequence of warm analogue colours, each one revealing another stretch of open sonic ground.

A tide of soft harmony drifts across misted water. M. Cross Dougherty – Momentary. Melodic currents swell into pale horizons that dissolve at the edges. Every rise of the water carries deeper layers of luminous mist, the whole surface breathing in slow continuous motion.

A single pure note of C3 expands into thirty-one radiant nodes. aztechsounds – Nodes Of Infinite Joy. Each node blooms as its own complete world of infinite joy, all orbiting the shared frequency. The nodes rearrange themselves in endless new constellations, flowing seamlessly from one luminous form into the next.

The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.

Side B

Vast synth environments open into deep-thought corridors of soft phosphorescence. Richard Francés – 2013. Early electronic clouds drift through sci-fi meditation chambers. Extraterrestrial light filters across Terry Riley-like cycles, creating a continuous pathway of inner and outer consciousness glowing in the same slow colour.

A complex molecular machine glides along a long strand of luminous code. Akinetic – Cryocoma. Protein structures read the intricate sequence with steady luminous precision. The entire cellular landscape unfolds as a quiet reading of infinite genetic light.

Endless fields stretch under a remembered Black Sea sky of liquid gold. Bohdan Stupak – endless fields. A low massive drone carries the horizon while high-pitched textures float above it in shifting emotional colours. Memory opens the fields into wider and wider expanses of warm drone light, ending in a soft closure of computer-generated bells and glowing crackles.

Small silent steps form a continuous path of fluid sound. hershel – Better way. Processed guitars and piano tones reshape themselves into new luminous forms. The landscape moves in gentle everlasting motion, each step revealing another layer of intimate hopeful atmosphere that keeps evolving forward.

A warm ambient blanket of soft fluttering echoes wraps the entire space. Ian Hawgood – Flutter Echo Refrain. Fourteen gentle layers of reassurance drift through the air in slow cascading waves. The echoes form a continuous field of transcendental calm that settles over everything in quiet luminous comfort.

The shared note of C expands into a pleasant drifting openness. BAK – Pleasantly lost at C. The frequency opens into wide soft territories where the listener floats among glowing harmonic islands, carried deeper into the pure tone with every slow turn of the current.

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?

Travel safely between the tracks.
I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.

Side A
00:00:00 The British Stereo Collective – Bloodrush
Sensory electronic ambient drawing parallels between veins, roots, neural pathways and circuit boards. Intense, free-flowing, and richly textured.

Expansive, directionally uneven ambient with subtle scientific tension and wide spatial growth. Cerebral and atmospheric.
00:12:15 LoveKrafty – Peace Out
Lo-fi, cassette-warmed ambient with surreal 70s/80s concept-album flavour and crunchy analogue comfort. Quirky and relaxed.
00:15:13 Analogue Path – Tempera Terra
Earth-toned exploratory ambient from early sonic experiments, soft and searching. Honest and grounded.
00:19:50 M. Cross Dougherty – Momentary
Drifting melodic ambient where soft harmonies blur into misty horizons. Gentle, swelling, and reflective.

00:35:28 Bohdan Stupak – endless fields
Emotional drone-ambient reflecting on lost places and memory’s tricks — tension, hope, and eventual soothing closure. Poignant and deep.
00:38:20 hershel – Better way
Intimate, youthful ambient shaped by personal growth and quiet transformation. Soft, hopeful, and melancholic in equal measure.
00:41:20 Ian Hawgood – Flutter Echo Refrain
Warm, reassuring ambient with fluttering echoes and gentle curative presence. Comforting and transcendental.
00:46:41 BAK – Pleasantly lost at C
Softly disoriented ambient circling the same note with pleasant, drifting ease. Light and free.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 277

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-277/

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 277. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
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.
I’m trying something new by not introducing the artists, but instead incorporation their work into an incatation of sorts.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,104 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 dreamlike, luminous ambient journey through nameless cities, rising rain, forgotten trails, and golden light.
Side A drifts from violet fog and modular labyrinths into voltage nests, Apalachee trails, hauntological villages, deep indigo night, and lost map coordinates. Side B lifts with rain falling upward, vast interlocking machines, Bach-coloured bird calls, sideways golden rays, wide unknowable valleys, and a single golden earring turning in zero gravity.
Overall mood: Contemplative, otherworldly, and quietly radiant — full of soft wonder, spectral warmth, and gentle expansion. Perfect for deep listening, late-night immersion, or drifting through imagined landscapes.

Side A
00:00:00 Almost Random – Night at the Nameless city
A city without name rises from violet fog. Docks of Celephais stretch into endless water the colour of old mercury. Towers lean at angles that fold inward. Almost Random – Night at the Nameless City. Modular currents braid through the streets. A single lead voice climbs like a pale recorder note, threading the labyrinth where colours bloom outside the spectrum and a lecturer’s silhouette watches from every window at once.
00:05:07 LOULA YORKE – Broody
The roof opens. A nest of voltage and feathers pulses with heat. LOULA YORKE – Broody. Shared-system circuits glow amber and emerald. Nestlings open their beaks in perfect rhythm with the rising sequences. The air fills with starling-shaped waveforms that scatter across the studio ceiling and reform as constellations.
00:07:57 Dionisaf – Forgotten Trails of the Apalachee (ft. Liesbet Leroy)
Cotton fields unroll under a sky of molten copper. An ageing horse moves through tall grass that whispers in kalimba tones. Dionisaf – Forgotten Trails of the Apalachee. Liesbet’s flute drifts above the restored guitar like river mist carrying the scent of magnolias and dry October leaves. Forest trails glow with soft bioluminescence. Seven years of Mississippi light gather into a single warm horizon that keeps expanding.
00:10:03 Belbury Poly – The People
A village appears between the hedges, built entirely of library jingles and children’s television ghosts. Belbury Poly – The People. Minimoog laughter curls through the lanes. Melodica and psaltery ring from open windows. Vines part to reveal Pan’s Garden where the InterCity 125 glides past in slow silver arcs and every face in the square turns toward the listener with the same knowing smile.
00:13:34 Euan Alexander Millar & Henrik Meierkord – Shades Of Night
Night gathers in layers of deep indigo and charcoal. Euan Alexander Millar & Henrik Meierkord – Shades Of Night. Cello tones stretch into long translucent ribbons. Spoken words rise from within the drones and dissolve back into them. The entire field breathes at the pace of a single sustained note.
00:17:19 maps and diagrams – Echo.atlas-B2 [lost.wav]
A map unfolds made of missing coordinates. maps and diagrams – Echo.atlas-B2 [lost.wav]. Waves of pure signal drift across blank paper, leaving faint luminous traces that rearrange themselves into new continents every few seconds.
Side B
00:23:01 Spirituals – Rain Falling Up
Rain lifts from the ground in slow silver columns and continues upward into a sky the colour of candle flame. Spirituals – Rain Falling Up. Pedal steel and vibraphone form soft glowing orbs that float beside the rising water. Field recordings and voice memos drift through the air as tiny points of warm light, each one a living candle carried through the open dark.
00:27:18 Dadanaut – Interferenzen
Gears the size of towers interlock across a black-and-gold cityscape. Dadanaut – Interferenzen. Workers and superiors move inside the same vast machine. Sparks of freedom leap between the teeth of the wheels. The entire structure hums with the low frequency of relief seeking its shape.
00:32:09 Pointe du Lac – Herr Gott, nun schleuß den Himmel auf (BWV617)
An empty living room fills with the calls of exotic birds that exist only as samples. Pointe du Lac – Herr Gott, nun schleuß den Himmel auf (BWV617). Simple arpeggios cross and shift like interlocking stained-glass windows. Bach harmonies rise through Sun Ra colours. The ceiling opens into a progressive lake of pure harmonic light.
00:35:04 Timo Kuusi – Crepuscular Rays
Crepuscular rays pour sideways across the room in thick golden beams. Timo Kuusi – Crepuscular Rays. Each ray carries its own instructional geometry. The beams expand until the whole space becomes a single radiant exercise in pure illumination.
00:42:39 The Green Kingdom – Vale of the Unknowable
Evening settles in airy layers of soft violet and pearl. The Green Kingdom – Vale of the Unknowable. Piano motifs drift through reverb-soaked guitar lines. The landscape opens into a wide still valley where every sound has room to unfold at its own unhurried pace.
00:44:52 Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota – Golden Earring
A golden earring turns slowly in zero gravity, catching and releasing light in perfect circles. Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota – Golden Earring. The sound arrives as the first sensation of hearing itself: tender, experimental, shaped for the earliest possible listener. Everything remains open, unguarded, and newly born.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 276

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-276/

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 276. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
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 nostalgic, gently varied ambient journey through parting regrets, haunted cities, wildlife, and liquid illusions.
Side A moves from crackling farewells and spectral urban spaces into sunflowers, foxes, returning places, and soft confusion. Side B shifts through weird islands, mythical unicorns, brief summer echoes, transistor revolutions, distant horizons, and ends in liquid dreams.
Overall mood: Warm, reflective, and lightly mysterious — blending personal nostalgia with quiet wonder and soft experimental edges. Perfect for relaxed listening, late afternoons, or peaceful immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,104 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
Side A
On this episode you’ll hear Calgary, Alberta based Monroeville Music Center with a lovely nostalgic crackling piece from 2015 titled Parting Regrets from the name your price album Cave & Castle. Formerly available on cassette via Illuminated Paths.
Then Coventry, UK based artist Rich Johnson aka Visionary Lines sent me his latest haunted single The People’s City.
This will be followed by another UK based artist LoveKrafty and the also nostalgic track Sunflowers from the 2020 release Rainbow Drifter.
Then if I say Preston you’ll probably say Polypores. If you know Polypores then you’d probably not recognise this as being the same artist. I’ve chosen the track Foxes taken from his latest release Wildlife. It’s availabe on cassette through the Aural Canyon label.
After that we head to Italy and an artist who ended yesterdays episode Far away Nebraska with the drifting drone tones of a track titled It’s been a while since I’ve been here from the album Halfway from nowhere which is out on Seil Records sub-label Kordel Records.
Closing Side A is Tehran based Iranian artist Nahal Kavand and the lovely floating drones of the track Confusion from the album Echoes of a Fading Existence which is out on Lᴏɴᴛᴀɴᴏ Series which is the sub-label of rohs! records.
But first, to set the vibe: Monroeville Music Center with Parting Regrets.
Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us.
One side flip. Just the music.
Side B
Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting.
You’ll hear another artist I played yesterday. Italian artist Gino Fioravanti (Aglaia) with the longest entry in todays episode at 13:50 titled Unicorn from their latest release Altitudes which is out on legenday Projekt Records.
After that we’ll head to my present city of resedence Stockholm and an older one from 2012 by Martin Herterich’s alter ego Sand Circles and the final track from his album Motor City, it’s also the shortest piece of the episode at 1:10 titled Summer Echoes II.
Then we find ourselves in Southsea, UK based artist swimming lesson. Now this is a super duper exclusive from a collective of absolutly wonderful souls that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for a few years now. They’ve gotten together to form The Synthesis Co-Operative and the first release is out on the 4th of September and will be available on cassette, Minidisc and digital and will be accompanied with a 40 page zine. Preorders from 14th August. This swimming lesson track, is stunning, and is called Transistor Revolution. Other names on this first release which will go by the name The Synthesis Co-Op Volume One will include The Earl of Dean, Legacy Systems, HDRF, Scholars of the Peak, theMLFs, Visionary Lines, Warmfield and more.
Near the end we’re joined by another Projekt Records release by Kyiv, Ukraine artist Bohdan Stupak and the moving track horizon from the equally moving album a place in memories.
Finally, Paris, France based artist Philippe Deschamps together with Nathaniel James Goldblatt aka The Goodnight Project and the drifting track Liquid Illusions from the four track EP Maps of an Invisible World.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 273

www.mixcloud.com/dashboard/my-shows/published/

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 273. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
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 soft, slightly quirky ambient journey through floating persistence, growth, residual hope, and quiet promises.
Side A drifts from stuffed repetition and first cultivations into remixes of light, machine minimalism, low flames, and mysterious beings. Side B moves through glitchy indexes, bubbling collaboration, woodland ghosts, emptiness, suspended paths, and ends on a gentle promise.
Overall mood: Contemplative, warm, and gently playful — full of soft textures and quiet emotional space. Perfect for deep listening, late mornings, or peaceful immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,098 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
Side A
On this episode you’ll hear young Italian composer and producer Luciano Masala, better known as hershel, with the floating piece “Stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy” from his debut album silent steps for a better way, available on CD from Whitelabrecs.
Then Estonia-based Paul Beaudoin invites us into adaptive drift with “1st Cultivation” from his brand-new release spores.dat, out on Sheffield’s Audiobulb.
Next, Wahn appears via a remix: Dissolved’s reworking of “Not All Is Lost”, taken from the album Re: Echo Mist Light, in which 18 artists remix Wahn’s classic Echo Mist Light. The release celebrates Bulgarian label Mahorka’s 500th release.
We’re back with Whitelabrecs for French composer Anthony Elfort (as Toàn) and the track “DEL 1”, created entirely on a single machine — the Deluge — from the album Solitarium.
Staying with Harry Towell’s wonderfully prolific Whitelabrecs, we hear a guitar-based gem from Michael Cottone’s long-running project The Green Kingdom: “By Low Flame”, taken from the soothing album Vespera.
Closing Side A is an exclusive from my upcoming compilation Quiet Figures: Brighton-based BUNKR with the vibrating “The Beings of Borde Hill”. The album currently features 11 artists including Anhnch, Cries from the LTN, Keith Seatman, BUNKR, The Gaye Device, HDRF, Simon Heartfield, The Earl of Dean, Graham Thorpe, Visionary Lines and Substak. There’s still time to submit — the window closes 24 September.
But first, to set the vibe: hershel with “Stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy”.
Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us.
One side flip. Just the music.
Side B
Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting.
You’ll hear UK-based Bibio together with Vienna’s Dorian Concept on their bubbling collaboration single “Shame”, out on Warp Records.
Then we revisit older Triplicate Records material with Nottingham’s George Evans (Suncastle) and the good-mood creation “Ghost in Trees” from the 2020 album Platformer.
Next we head to one of my favourite labels — the one-of-a-kind Cyclical Dreams from Buenos Aires — for a minimal track titled “Into Emptiness” by Trittau, Germany’s Christian Fiesel, taken from his recent release On A Second Thought.
Near the end we travel to Alfortville, France, for Japanese artist Hiroaki Yamamoto and the opening track “Paths” from his album Suspended in the Wind, the latest release on Driftworks.
And finally, from the excellent cassette compilation Connection: sculpting silence on French label Hylé Tapes, I leave you with Ekin Fil and Dominic Coppola’s wonderfully soothing “Promise To Never Be Like Them”.
But first, we return to 2020 and Santa Fe, New Mexico’s Richard Alfaro with the glitchy “Index”, taken from the Trip FM compilation Red Shift. Being six years old, it’s Name Your Price on Bandcamp — thank you to Triplicate Records for helping keep this channel sustainable.
Enjoy…

Side A
00:00:00 hershel – Stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy stuffy
Playfully repetitive, floating ambient with soft, stuffed-up textures and quiet persistence. Curious and hypnotic.

Patient, adaptive ambient exploring first growth and subtle digital spores. Organic and thoughtful.

Hopeful, remixed ambient with residual light and a sense of recovery. Atmospheric and reassuring

Gentle, guitar-led ambient with low flickering warmth and soft, evening glow. Soothing and intimate.

Side B
00:29:20 Richard Alfaro – Index
Glitchy, indexical ambient with fragmented references and soft electronic scatter. Quirky and detailed.
00:31:30 Bibio & Dorian Concept – Shame
Bubbling, collaborative electronic with playful rhythms and warm, slightly bashful charm. Groovy and engaging.
00:35:47 Suncastle – Ghost in Trees
Good-mood ambient with spectral woodland presence and light, platformer energy. Bright and atmospheric.
00:40:31 Christian Fiesel – Into Emptiness
Minimal, void-seeking ambient with patient descent into open space. Stark and contemplative.
00:43:31 Hiroaki Yamamoto – Paths
Suspended, path-finding ambient with soft wind and quiet direction. Serene and exploratory.
00:47:06 Ekin Fil & Dominic Coppola – Promise To Never Be Like Them
Soothing, collaborative ambient with gentle resolve and soft emotional clarity. Tender and restorative.

Also in the works: the next compilation, Quiet Figures, due 26 September.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 272

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-272/

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 272. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
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 varied, slightly quirky ambient and electronic journey mixing French precision, personal storytelling, and hauntological grit.
Side A moves from kinetic speed machines and diary entries into monolithic atmospheres, cherry-sweet narratives, and limbic depths. Side B shifts through soapworks hauntology, glass colours, ticking pianos, translucent synths, and ends on questions of reception and what comes next.
Overall mood: Contemplative yet playful, with a mix of intimacy, nostalgia, and quiet curiosity. Perfect for focused listening, late-afternoon drives, or evening immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,098 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
Side A
On this episode you’ll hear Paris-based artist Stéphane Laporte, better known as DOMOTIC, and a track from an album I’ve been spinning a lot since its release. The album is Fourrure Sounds Vol. 3 to 6, and the track is “Bolide” (which translates as “Speed Machine”). It’s one of my favourite releases this year, and the 36-track cassette version is available through Astra Solaria Recordings.
Staying in France, we have artist and label curator Richard Francés with “12 Décembre 2024” from the album Afterwork III (Février 2024), out on his own Hylé Tapes — where you can still grab one of the five remaining cassettes.
Next, another Hylé Tapes artist, this time Tokyo-based Raphael Leray, with “Akurah” from the 2015 release MONOLITH.
Then something a little different: Salt Lake City singer-songwriter and indietronica artist Josaleigh Pollett, with her captivating storytelling on “Cherry” from the latest album If I Let It Quiet.
We’re back on Hylé Tapes for the title track from the 2024 album Biodiverse by the trio Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster.
Closing Side A is my Glaswegian mate Fragile X with “Limbic” from the 2021 album Hive (previously featured on the Trip FM compilation Blue Shift).
But first, to set the vibe, DOMOTIC with “Bolide”.
Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us.
One side flip. Just the music.
Side B
Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting.
You’ll hear another track by Glass Roots from the 2020 album The Idiot — an older Triplicate Records release I’ve been revisiting lately (and all their older material is name-your-price, which is where my broke self tends to hang out). This is “Reds Blue”.
Then back to France for Mea Poulpa and the wonderful piano-based (dare I say almost trip-hop) piece “Clock” from the album Beyond Glass, out on Camembert Électrique.
Next we head to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and BVSMV (co-founder of Triplicate Records) with the 2017 synthwave track “Translucent” from the album Skies, available via Cardiff’s TimeSlave Recordings among other places.
Near the end we’re treated to an exclusive from the forthcoming compilation The Synthesis Co-Op Volume One — an amazing collective of artists, many of whom have appeared on this channel over the years (The Earl of Dean, Pulsliebhaber, HDRF, Swimming Lesson, Visionary Lines and more). The compilation drops 4 September. Go follow tscoop.bandcamp.com to stay in the know. Here is “Are You Receiving Us?” by the always delightful Drew Huddart, aka Scholars of the Peak.
And finally we travel to Buenos Aires for Aughflair and the 2017 piece “What Comes Next” from the album Rewritten, also available via the presently defunct Triplicate side-label Mangled Music Co.
But first, our friend Paul Broome, better known as Warmfield, with a track from the Woodford Halse compilation Undulating Waters 10. Warmfield has contributed to my first two compilations and also appears on the new Synthesis Co-Op Volume One (which isn’t out yet but is already stunning). This is “Waterton vs Walton Soapworks”.

A gentle, introspective ambient journey through awareness, weightlessness, storms, and quiet reflection.

Finishing us off is Québec based artist Mathieu Lamontagne better known as Arbee and the modular based track “Absence motivée” (excused absence) from the album “En vain” (In Vain) out on the ever astounding Ambient Cat label.
But first, Anthony Asher-Yates the artist behind Bålsam with a highly personal ambient track titled “Afligido” (Afflicted) from the album “Soñador” (Dreamer), available on a stunning cassette release from DRONARIVM sister label Le Mont Analogue, Enjoy…

Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 264. 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 contemplative, atmospheric ambient journey through gravity, trapped moments, and fiery elements.
Side A drifts from weightless lapses and arcane nights into sinister awakenings, amber preservation, and circular comfort. Side B shifts through nostalgic postcards, patterned cosiness, collaborative warmth, and ends on flame and dated reflection.
Overall mood: Introspective, melancholic, and quietly wondrous with a blend of darkness and gentle warmth. Perfect for deep listening, late-night reflection, or peaceful immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now and Side B in the intermission. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 264 episodes as well as the 820 plus other shows whenever they like.

Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 262. 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 mystical, quirky, and emotionally varied ambient journey through alchemy, jungles, societal decay, and warrior cries.
Side A moves from occult geometry and evening bonsoirs into fragile qualia, jungle scans, and solipsistic isolation. Side B shifts through tungsten pillows, multiple ways, lonely days, crying warriors, and fried naptime whimsy.
Overall mood: Atmospheric, contemplative, and eccentric with a mix of dark mystery, gentle warmth, and playful chaos. Perfect for late-night immersion, reflective listening, or adventurous evenings.
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 to give the “virtual cassette” title a meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 262 episodes plus the 826 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.
As a subscriber you also get access to my new series Veil Frequencies based on a fictional world I’ve created called The Resonant Veil Enclave. Each episode is around three hours and recorded from one of the floors from the 24 buildings in the veil.

Also on this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Paris, France based modular artist Aurel Val in the rather housey track “Bonsoir” from the latest release on Hylé Tapes titled Mods-1.
Then I’ve dived into the crates a bit with a 2020 track by Glasgow based Fragile X and the track “Qualia” from a fantastic Trip FM compilation called “Red Shift”. It also appears on the Fragile X album Hive.
After that another Hylé Tapes release this time from the 2024 album Biodiverse by Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster. I’ve chosen the rather fun 9 minute track “Jungle Scan”.
Ending the A side with some braindance techno is Craig Murphy aka Solipsism and the track “Sierra Oscar Kilo” from the latest release on the Mighty Force label.
Starting off Side B is Buffalo, New York based Matt Donatelli aka SURVEY CHANNEL with an older track originally from 2020 the lovely wonky “Tungsten Pillow” from the 2025 Remastered album Along the Wind Spear.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 260

www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-260/

For some reason I can no longer embed the shows here

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 260. 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 groovy, cinematic, and eclectic journey blending indie folk introspection, global psychedelic funk, French electronic cool, post-rock elegance, and atmospheric psychedelia.
Side A cruises through cosmic weight, mechanical playfulness, and sun-drenched grooves. Side B percolates with jazzy structures, vaporous textures, and sleek professionalism before ending on a pointed, trippy note.
Overall mood: Stylish, nostalgic, and transportive with a strong retro-cinematic flair—warm, hypnotic, and playfully sophisticated. Perfect for golden-hour drives, late-night listening, or stylish background grooves.
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 260 episodes plus the 822 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 G minor and based on the amazing retro synth runs of “A Study In Vapors” by “Bluetech” from a release that’s in my top 5 of the year so far “Petite Constellations”.
Every tenth episode I do a best of show. So all these tracks have probably been featured by me over the years and have a special place, for me, in some way. On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Berlin based legends To Rococo Rot with a track simply called “cars”. Originally released on the 1999 album “The Amateur View” which should be in everyone’s collection.
Naples based group Psyché grab our hips with “Cumbia Mahàre” from their debut Four Flies Records, self titled, 2023 release.
Then a trio that have infected me over the past few years, Khruangbin, here joined by the vocal stylings of Leon Bridges in the track “Chocolate Hills” from their 2022 EP Texas Moon.
After that Vincent Taeger aka Tiger Tigre together with, well, himself, in the track “Sport Mécanique” which takes me back to my childhood. My parents watch all sports on tv and this just puts me in that world of 80s sports jingles. It’s taken from the compilation album “ERR REC Library Vol.4 Physical Activity” from 2023.
Ending the A side is the Los Angeles, California based roots reggae infected Pachy García aka Pachyman and the track “Sunset Sound” from the album “The Return of…” released in 2021.
Starting off Side B with Vienna, Austria based synth maestro Dorian Concept and the track “Eigendynamik (Elevator Version)” from the 2020 album “The Jitters”.
Followed by my favourite Stockholm based artist of recent years Joel Danell better known as Sven Wunder. Here with the piece “Pop-Jazz Structures”. Every one of Joels tracks puts me in a happy space. This is from his 2023 album “Late Again”.
Then anyone who has followed the channel knows that I love odd time signatures and the track “Percolator” is in 5/8 and is by the one of a kind originals Stereolab. Taken from the 2025 album “Emperor Tomato Ketchup”.
This leads into the featured Seattle, Washington based, Evan Bartholomew, better known as, Bluetech track “A Study In Vapors”.
Then the penultimate piece for today comes in the form of one of my all time go to artists Air with the track “Les Professionnels” from their debut 1997 EP Premiers Symptômes.
Finishing us off is Salvia Plath aka RUN DMT with nostalgic samples over a hypnotic acoustic guitar line in the track “Money” from the 2009 album BONG VOYAGE.
But first, to set the vibe is New Zealand based folk tinged artist whose voice just grips me Aldous Harding with the song “Weight of the Planets” from her fantastic third album “Designer” from 2019.
Labels to be mentioned are 4AD UK, City Slang, Four Flies Records, Dead Oceans, ERR REC, ATO, Brainfeeder, Piano Piano Records, Warp Records, Behind The Sky Music, DiN and Virgin Records.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 259

https://open.substack.com/pub/trevlad/p/trevs-virtual-cassette-library-259

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 259. 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 gentle, seasonal, and introspective ambient journey through light, warmth, cold textures, and personal discovery.
Side A moves from first light and summer flames into quantum bindings, center-finding, and dated reflections. Side B shifts through cold textures, controlled growth, bubble fragility, speaking pebbles, and small waves.
Overall mood: Serene, contemplative, and quietly wondrous with a strong connection to nature and emotion. Perfect for deep relaxation, morning listening, or peaceful reflection.
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 259 episodes plus the 821 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for 3 quid.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 258

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Apologies for the sound quality today. I’m on holidays and find it hard to hard to get a spot quiet enough to record. Anyway…
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 258. 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 quirky, colourful, and atmospheric ambient journey through vintage whimsy, seasonal introspection, and urban environments.
Side A moves from posh timepieces and color seas into winter frost, fluid transference, cloud gazing, and returning light. Side B shifts through modular habitats, Trieste streets, secure institutions, and cinematic projections.
Overall mood: Playful yet contemplative, warm, and slightly uncanny with a mix of nostalgia and modern reflection. Perfect for adventurous listening or relaxed evenings.
I’ve gone back to doing more podcast like episodes but I’ll do all the talking now in the intro as I put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. There is just one break halfway through to give the “virtual cassette” meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my too few subscribers who get to enjoy the 258 episodes plus the 820 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for €3 anymore. It used to be a coffee.
Episode 258 is based on the track “Habitat 67” by my friends “The Twelve Hour Foundation” from the release “Expanded & Repurposed” coming out on their Bandcamp on July 27th.

On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Queens, New York based Chris Moore aka Light Vortex with the sound art track “Awash In A Sea Of Color” from the album “Aurora In Georgian Bay” out on Mortality Tables.
My friend of the channel Matthew Davies aka Vic Mars with the Chilled piece we all need right now “Winter II” from his collection of must have tracks “From Different Landscapes”.
A beat driven piece by Paris, France based Stephane Laporte aka Domotic from his amazing 36 track album which I’ve been playing a lot recently “Fourrure Sounds Vol. 3 to 6” out on Virtual Cassette supporting label Astra Solaria Recordings.
Then Canadian artist Grant Gard, who records as landtitles with the clarinet infused track “staring at the clouds” from the album “geographic beings, phosphorus mountains” out on whitelabrecs.
After that Tucson, Arizona based Kirk Markarian aka Neuro… No Neuro with the ambient swelling track “You Wasted Your Time” from the album “MemLoss” out on the Sheffield based Audiobulb label.
Then from the latest Cyclical Dreams label release comes the wonderfully stereo panned piece “The Light That Returns” by Adam Filip from the album “The Returning Circle”.
Ending the A side is Michael Plaster aka yttriphie with the Boards of Canada tinged “A Narrow Field of View” from the album “Solipsis” out on Projekt Records.
Starting off Side B is the inspiration for this episode and one of those bands that are instantly recognisable and just a good mood pill in general. They are of course Polly Hulse and Jez Butler collectively known as The Twelve Hour Foundation. With a track from their latest release “Expanded & Repurposed” with the track “Habitat 67” featuring the brilliant Alan Gubby of Buried Treasure / Revbjelde fame adding vibraphone to this classic.
This flows into Brutalist architecture inspired “Rozzol Melara [Triest]” by Fredy Engel aka MiDi BiTCH from another Cyclical Dreams release titled “Habitat”.
Then the penultimate piece for today comes in the form of another favourite artist from the past few years Cate Francesca Brooks and the hypnotic piece “Secure Environments Ltd” from the album “For Your Security”.
And finishing us off is the 18 minute 25 second piece “Untitled 1 [a,b,c,d,e]” by The Projectionist from the rather special label The Dream Journal Institute whose artists don’t seem to actually exist yet they are not AI. This track would have ended up on an episode of Expansive Waves but I’m not doing them any more as they just aren’t worth it. Too much time equals too few listeners.
But setting the vibe for all of this is Portsmouth based legend Keith Seatman with his track “A Posh Hat and Timepiece” from the album “Counting To Ten Then Back Again” out on Castles In Space.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 255

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 255. 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 gentle, nature-infused, and introspective ambient journey through seasons, plants, and storytelling.
Side A flows from sunny rain and clear ambiguity into fleeting glimpses, resigned beauty, and rhythmic patterns. Side B gathers around campfires, buoys, synesthetic storms, momentary drifts, and golden mystical pillars.
Overall mood: Warm, contemplative, and quietly wondrous with a strong connection to nature and emotion. Perfect for deep relaxation, morning listening, or peaceful reflection.
Episode 255 is based on the track “Buoy.” by “Willebrant” from the release “Selected Works – Slowed and Reverb, Volume 2”. Which Australian artist Karl Willebrant sent me a couple of days back. The track is over 13 minutes long so it should be on an episode of Expansive Waves which is my long form music show. For the moment that’s on hold as I don’t have the will to do one. Mainly from lack of time but also from having to pay for the shows myself as I’m still, after years of trying, missing 2 subscribers from the channel in order to get a payout from Mixcloud. It’s super frustrating dangling on that edge for so long.
Anyway a massive shout out to Richard Francés of Hylé Tapes for sending me their catalogue of wonderful releases. You’ll be hearing lots from Hylé Tapes in the near future.
In other news, Substak has entered a track for my next compilation release “Quiet Figures”. Get your entry in before September 24th and join him and The Earl of Dean. Details on the Bandcamp page.
Now back to this episode which features Dutch artist Art Bit and Columbian artist Bålsam both with releases on the Dronarium label.

Another play by Washington DC based Dionisaf from his release on the Ambient Cat label.
Maps and Diagrams has a release on Sardinian label Lontano Series the sub label of Rohs! records.
Brussels based Jonathan Poliart gets another play from his release as well as Paris based Simon Cacheux both out on Adventurous Music.
The wonderful Mahorka label features, as usual, with a piece by Auto-nomaton.
Also the fantastic collaboration of zakè, Ossa, ASC with a release on zakés own Bandcamp page.
Ending the episode is Danish artist øjeRum with a release on Lithuanian label Amulet of Tears who has also supported the channel with loads of releases.
But first out to start the ball rolling Toronto based artist Chad Skinner also known as Sun Rain with his track May from the Imaginary North release Lake Effect: Quiet Music From Toronto.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 241

Based on the track “Silent” by “Spectrum” from the release “Cosmic Chart Magazine 01”.
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 cosmic and contemplative ambient journey through space, nature, memory, and silence.
Side A spirals from intricate accretion disks and gentle downstream drift into quirky everyday surrealism, minimal precision, and dusty expanses. Side B grounds the mix with earthy waves before ascending into celestial mystery, holographic vastness, and profound quiet.
Overall mood: Expansive, introspective, and subtly mysterious with a strong sense of scale and inner reflection. It balances intricate detail with spacious calm — ideal for deep listening, meditation, or late-night immersion.
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.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
One side flip, just the music.
