Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 313
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.
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 also receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies.
Now imagine each episode as a colossal rotating stage — a great mechanical blooming lotus. You, the audience only ever glimpse a sliver of it at a time. Every artist is allotted the exact time it takes them to perform their piece. Then they rotate out of view, and the next act glides in. The stage spins at whatever speed the track demands.
The names of the artists and labels I’ll mention before each set — or “side,” as the cassette alchemists call them. Six little incantations per set, plus a general mist of what mood to expect.
Now the stage begins to turn.
A doorway that reboots itself, then a planet showing you the face it keeps away from the sun.
Side A coughs the portal awake, paints Milan limb by limb in grey-cheek library jazz, docks Ishtar’s goddess-ship, waits for Blue Bell Hill to switch from black-and-white to blossom, folds a desert peacock that rarely leaves the room, and hums a 7-inch bodega under fluorescent strip-light.
Side B parks godhead in the sprawl, waltzes a chest-pain name you cannot pronounce, pours top brass that refuses to complicate, walks the talk until it grows bass strings, holds the only hands that exist to be held, and ends on the dark side of the earth — the hemisphere the dying star never got around to lighting.
Overall mood: Playful, cinematic, and quietly cosmic — full of Clay Pipe colour, Batov half-shut eyes, and infrastructure filed under prayer. Perfect for late listening, bodega aisles after hours, or sitting with the drawbridge down while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: a doorway that reboots itself, Milan painted limb by limb, a goddess-ship docking on the lotus, a council estate coming into colour, a desert peacock that rarely leaves the room, a 7-inch bodega humming under fluorescent strip-light.
00:03:30 DaoLogic – Portal Reload
https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/track/portal-reload
From the album: Source Vive Label: Mahorka
The portal coughs, then remembers its password. Warm crispy beats walking you through without extrasystoles. You enter. The source is still alive.
00:07:27 Barigozzi Group – Grey Cheeks
https://fourfliesrecords.bandcamp.com/track/grey-cheeks
From the album: Woman’s Colours Label: Four Flies Records
the last colour on a body mapped in library jazz. Wurlitzer blushing while the flute keeps the secret.
00:09:34 Gong – Ship Of Ishtar
https://gongband.bandcamp.com/track/ship-of-ishtar
From the album: Unending Ascending.
Venus at the tiller. Sacred cargo under the sails, clocks not yet reset. Climb aboard — the guitar is already a spaceship, but tonight the ship is Ishtar.
00:17:50 David Boulter – Blue Bell Hill
https://claypipemusic.bandcamp.com/track/blue-bell-hill
From the album: St Ann’s Label: Clay Pipe Music
Blue Bell Hill before the demolition learned its manners. Black-and-white streets waiting for the cherry blossom to switch the world to colour.
00:20:04 Taftir – Tavasim
https://taftir.bandcamp.com/track/tavasim-2
From the EP: Od Layla Ba Ayara Label: Batov Records
Desert town, five players, a soul ballad they almost never play live. Feathers folded. The groove keeps its eyes half-shut.
00:23:05 East Side Supply – The Bodega
https://eastsidesupply.bandcamp.com/track/the-bodega
From the single: DELICATESSEN / THE BODEGA Label: Sonor Music Editions
Harpsichord and flute shopping the aisles. Axelrod hits between the tinned peaches. The bodega closes the side before the lotus can blink.
Mood mist: sprawl praying to itself, a chest-pain waltz with a name you cannot pronounce, brass that refuses to complicate, Watt walking the talk into orbit, hands that only exist to be held, a planet showing you the face it keeps away from the sun.
00:27:57 boycalledcrow – godhead
https://boycalledcrow.bandcamp.com/track/godhead
From the album: the sprawl Label: Mortality Tables
Godhead parked in the sprawl. Mortality Tables filing the prayer under “infrastructure.”

https://anginedepoitrine.bandcamp.com/track/tohogd
From the album: Vol.1 Label: Republic of Music
a syllable that arrived before the translation. Vol.1 still catching its breath.
00:33:53 Matt Berry – Top Brass Two
https://mattberry.bandcamp.com/track/top-brass-two
From the album: Simplicity Label: Acid Jazz Records
Top brass, second helping. Simplicity wearing a tie it does not need. Acid Jazz pouring the good stuff and leaving the bottle.
00:36:50 Galecstasy & Mike Watt Trio – Walk the Talk
https://galecstasy.bandcamp.com/track/walk-the-talk
From the album: Wattzotica Label: Mystery Circles
Walk the talk until the talk grows bass strings. Wattzotica: the stage spinning at walking pace, then suddenly not.
00:40:15 The Mistys – A Hand Is To Hold
https://themistysband.bandcamp.com/track/a-hand-is-to-hold
From the album: Situations | Useless Mouths Label: Castles In Space
A hand is to hold. Useless mouths taking the night off. Castles In Space leaving the drawbridge down.
00:43:46 Martin Solos – Dark Side of the Earth
https://martinsolos.bandcamp.com/track/dark-side-of-the-earth
From the album: Heart of a Dying Star.
the hemisphere the dying star never got around to lighting. Heart still beating in the shade.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 295
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-295/
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. 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 breathing, slightly cosmic ambient journey through mantra rooms, sunset light, and machine-soul plasma.
Side A keeps a Brighton pulse, then moves through cadmium starling chambers, seaside sunsets, remixed inner-galaxy weather, a slowed descent, and a last-page fin. Side B opens with Glasgow fairy wonk and oxide walk-film, then finds a 2016 first track, Plantasia homage, Gadigal beach light, and new-age retro plasma leading into the bright.
Overall mood: Warm, communal, and quietly expansive — full of shared rooms, analogue vignettes, and light that keeps arriving. Perfect for late mornings, deep listening, or sitting with the last page while the next reel still waits.
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.
00:01:18 Hill Collective – Keep Breathing
Hill Collective – Keep Breathing. A devotional pulse settles. Vocals move from scat into mantra. Congas, double bass and piano hold Brighton’s Sea Breeze rooms while the horns stretch outward.
00:11:26 LOULA YORKE – Sister Fledge
LOULA YORKE – Sister Fledge. A borrowed Make Noise Shared System lights obsidian chambers in cadmium and gold. Starling chicks and caregiver calls score eight June sessions.
00:15:25 NOUVELLES LECTURES COSMOPOLITES – Seaside Sunsets
NOUVELLES LECTURES COSMOPOLITES – Seaside Sunsets. Julien Ash’s devices and Wolf City’s guitar colour twenty-five minutes of previously unreleased light.
00:18:28 Wahn – Phase Memory (Abdicant + Nonima Remix)
Wahn – Phase Memory (Abdicant + Nonima Remix). Mahorka’s five-hundredth release gathers the inner galaxy. Dub-infused pulse and tactile sub-bass transpose Echo Mist Light into new signature weather.
00:23:42 Willebrant – Deep.
Willebrant – Deep. Electric basses, synths, slowed and reverb. A mix holds the descent.
00:30:29 Subordinate Clause – Fin
Subordinate Clause – Fin. Vocal samples from spouse and friends sit in the mix. Stonegate mastering seals the last page.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
00:36:08 The Foot & Leg Clinic – Music for Baby Fairy
The Foot & Leg Clinic – Music for Baby Fairy. Wonk rock from Glasgow studios. Harp, saxophone, strings and Poppy the Cat share Crikey and Green Door air. In memory of Santiago.
00:39:23 Trevlad – Saves Lend Held
Trevlad – Saves Lend Held. Episodes 157 to 171 plus Expansive Waves 22 return as walk-film and oxide.

00:51:13 Suncastle – New Age Retro Plasma (feat. Simon Walklate)

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.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 210
Cool, sophisticated, and slightly mysterious with a strong retro cinematic flair.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 210 of the Virtual Cassette Library. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
This episode is based on the track “Amber (feat. Itamar Ziegler)” by Ori Kaplan & Lihu Melamed from the stunning upcoming album “Reverie” which drops on the 12th of June via the Batov Records label. Also a massive thank you to Four Flies Records, The Dream Journal Institute, Batov Records and Mystery Circles for sponsoring the episode with material.
A stylish, cinematic, and eclectic trip through 70s Italian library grooves, jazz-funk, psychedelic exotica, and warm ambient textures.
Side A blends sleazy thriller funk and sunny Mediterranean rhythms with mystical desert drones and playful adventure themes. Side B shifts into nocturnal jazz-funk, delicate minimalism, soulful grooves, and ends with loose, exploratory jazz energy.
Overall mood: Cool, sophisticated, and slightly mysterious with a strong retro cinematic flair. It feels like a warm Mediterranean evening that slowly turns into a smoky, late-night jazz club session — groovy, atmospheric, adventurous, and effortlessly stylish. Perfect for cruising, golden-hour listening, or relaxed evening vibes.
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.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 174
28 January 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 sliver of the clock you’ve washed up in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. I’m Trevor, turning the reels in the half-light, playing custodian to these sounds that drift in from places most folk never bother to tune toward.
We’ve got twenty artists lined up across the two sides tonight, twenty fragments of cassette spirit. No rush, no hits, no pleading for your attention. Ambient drifts mingle with electroacoustic textures, spiritual jazz breathes alongside kraut-tinged electronics, improv flickers meet drone horizons. Patience is the only ticket required.
Side A coming right up as we ease in with Bary Center and The Source Of Something Greater – Guide Me Through The Hills Of Your Home – Third Kind Records back in 2020. I’d describe this as Textured ambient with a glitch undercurrent, dub-like pulses buried in meditative marshland haze, a quiet hope threading through the sadness.
Then Asheville, North Carolinas Spooqs brings the shortest track of the episode clocking in a 2:27 with Lyskae, The Fissure – Biomes. Cinematic electroacoustic soundscapes, a pilgrimage mapped in melody across dunes and into salt water, landscapes that remember your footprints.
CV Vision follows with The Jam – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. A slice from the label’s latest roundup, electronics carrying that Hamburg lineage of krautrock echoes and avant-garde restraint.
The longest offering this round at 6:53 Resonating With Life offers Spinning Out of The Skies – Resonating With Life – Cyclical Dreams. Drone and ambient suspended in slow rotation, skies that keep unfolding long after you’ve looked away.
Another short one at 2:50 Galecstasy & Mike Watt Trio step up with Imitation Squid – Wattzotica. Which came out today January 28 on A favourite label and channel sponsoring Mystery Circles. I’d say this is Free improvisation from the Joshua Tree, punk-edged bass from Watt meeting synths and drums in unscripted motion, raw and restless.
GODTET deliver Stepper – +The Sydney Symphony Orchestra – La SAPE records. Spiritual jazz meeting orchestral weight, live from the Sydney Opera House, improvisation threading through fixed structures like light through stone.
Now, me, Trevlad with Obey Beams Starting – TVCL 09. Ambient electronics pulled from the library’s own recent episodes, beams that start quiet and refuse to explain themselves.
Camp of Wolves and Summer’s End – Bear Creek – Castles in Space Lunar Module imprint. Fading seasonal glow, folk-tinged atmospheres cooling into dusk.
Angel Wail – When The Burden Felt Too Heavy. A solitary voice in the weight, A self released single that will be featured on my next compilation Puzzles of the Psyche. A reminder to get your entries in for this before March 25th. This Is classic synth shapings with a sad story.
And closing Side A, one of the longer pieces of the episode at 6:50 Jarguna / Odile Bruckert / Henrik Meierkord close the side with The First Sunrise I Remember – Furrows Of Memory – Projekt Records. Memory etched in gentle field recordings and strings, the first light recalled across years.
Side B.
Hipwell opens with Too Much – Too Much. Available through Island House Recordings. This is Direct, unadorned, a title that says everything and nothing more.
Hipnotic Earth brings Snow Begins To Fall – Islas Calm Cloud – Whitelabrecs. Winter settling in slow layers, calm cloud islands drifting.
OdNu, Mi Cosa de Resistance and mRn with En el Viento – Southern Lands – Southern Lands. On another show sponsoring label Audiobulb. Wind-carried voices and tones, Argentinas southern latitudes whispering through the mix.
Das Kinn – Nichts – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. Another from the Bureau B harvest, negation turned into sound, sparse and deliberate.
Clearways offers Mirage – Latrality. Illusions held in place by careful electronics, edges that shimmer and refuse to solidify.
Serbian artist nedogled with Toplina – Upavi Snovi. Warmth in dream states, tones that wrap rather than strike.
Autistici – 2.25 Degrees of Internalisation – Familiarity Unfolded. Another one out on Audiobulb. Internal shifts measured in fractions, unfolding slow and precise.
London based, Time Attendant brings Lapping Up Flames – The Feral Mould. Flames consumed in reverse, feral shapes moulded into something almost gentle. An odd one this, avant garde in places.
Lorna Dune with Perseids – Sequential Dreaming. Another great release from Mystery Circles. Meteor trails across dreaming sequences, streaking light in the dark.
And now, as the tape hisses toward silence, a few words before we disappear again. Thanks for staying with it. These shows aren’t built for crowds, and neither, perhaps, are you. Support the artists where you can—buy the tapes, the downloads, the vinyl when it appears. Whisper their names into whatever void listens. It matters more than metrics suggest.
This episode streams free on Mixcloud for a week, full links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments. Leave a word if something landed. Or don’t. Quiet has its own frequency.
Until the wind shifts or the reel ends—whichever arrives first—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the universe keep its own counsel.
Antwerp based autumna closes the show with sea flames – Murmurs In The Mist – Trevlad. Flames on water, murmurs rising through fog, a final dissolution.
Don’t miss out on my next compilation. Details on my Bandcamp page.
That was Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. Good night.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 148
27 November 2025
“Evening all. Episode one-four-eight of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Cook Hobble Recruited. 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. Bringing you ninety minutes, two virtual 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.” This episode has an exclusive track Karesansui by Wellington, New Zealand based artist CZiGO. Karesansui means “dry landscape” or “dry mountain water” and refers to a minimalist style of Japanese garden that uses rocks, gravel, and sand to represent natural landscapes like mountains, islands, and rivers without any water.

Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 085
Sonic Ritual.
🎙️
Trevor here, transmitting once again from home base—Sollentuna, Sweden. This is your gateway to another immersive expedition through sound: Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 085.
A 90-minute 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.
Today’s flight is sponsored by the labels that keep our circuits humming: 🌐 Mahorka, DRONARIVM, Downstream Records, Cyclical Dreams, Sonor Music Editions, Mystery Circles, Preston Capes, and Error Prone Records. Special thanks to our sponsoring artists: Tommy Perman and Everyday Dust.
Shoutouts to Otis for keeping the comments section alive, Gareth Evans, Wahn, and fflwcs for chiming in, and aeon music and Outapace for the likes. And of course, gratitude to Free Album Codes—always fueling the episodes with Bandcamp gems. 🙏
📼 A-Side Exclusive: “Canción del Adiós” 🎧 From the forthcoming album Songs for the Mist Forest by Morgan Szymanski & Tommy Perman Tommy kindly sent me an advance copy, and I’m honored to share this track with you. It’s a farewell—but not a quiet one. Vocals from Morgan, Tommy, Fernanda González, Juan Cordova, and Juan Pablo Ortíz rise like mist from the undergrowth, weaving through classical guitar and delicate electronics.
Born in the mist forests of Valle de Bravo, Mexico, this track mourns the loss of fireflies, birds, crickets, and the endangered Abronias—small, dragon-like reptiles now on the red list. But it also carries hope. A call to listen. A call to act. The full album releases July 18, 2025. This one’s for the dragons.
🔁 Virtual B-Side Exclusive: “^We Dance” by vx/hope 🎧 From the upcoming album the hungry will always choose a full belly over a full mind 🕯️ Sponsored by Woodford Halse’s sister label, Preston Capes Neil Whitehead and Pete Hope return with a track that misleads with its title—offering not celebration, but confrontation. Gravel-voiced poetry over pummeling beats and abstract textures. Dance music for the disenchanted. The full album drops August 1, 2026. “^We Dance” appears only in the digital edition—slightly extended and fully unhinged.
🎶 Also featuring: Backpullver, Shamanez, gribbles, Trevlad, Tim Six, Flux Of Sensations, John Scott Shepherd, Jamie Zarfas, Bartosz Dziadosz, The Flashbulb, Sandro Brugnolini, eardrops, Tim Koch, Waldgrenze, Chaircrusher, Fred Thomas, Philippe Neau, LR Friberg, Christian Kleine, Wavefiler, x.y.r., Suncastle, and no1uknw.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 283
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-283/
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 283. 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.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,113 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 luminous, cyclical ambient journey through growth, presence, and quiet residual signals.
Side A moves from synthesizer motivation and passionflower florescence into thunderous self-declaration, whimsical DNA colours, whispering forests, and noctilucent evening light. Side B drifts through reconstructed Vietnamese microcosms, Windham Hill shadows, rain-soaked baseline drift, honey-warm communal jazz, silent Wardenclyffe towers, and ends with a dark horse moving through open fields.
Overall mood: Contemplative, organic, and gently radiant — full of cycles of growth, soft illumination, and quiet architectural presence. Perfect for deep listening, reflective evenings, or following the continuous unfolding of sound.
The tape unspools its visions.
00:00:00 Marc Melià – Cycle of Motivation
Synthesizer circuitry opens into quiet luminous beauty. Marc Melià – Cycle of Motivation. Ambient and experimental tones sculpt the open spaces between notes into a melodic tapestry. Shared sonic connections rise in serene sequential layers across the field of reflection.
00:04:36 KiF Productions – Florescence
A passionflower climbs through stages of growth in soft plant light. KiF Productions – Florescence. Secret seeds wait in darkness before the first stir of movement. Vines reach toward open light, drinking and climbing until full bloom arrives in pollination dreams. Fruiting returns the cycle to earth in patient unfolding motion.
00:09:22 Le Morte d’Abby – That I Am
Thunder and lightning gather around the declaration of presence. Le Morte d’Abby – That I Am. Lush chords whoosh into existence while arpeggios and percussive energy expand across the surface. The entire piece rises in spiritual comfort and unbridled radiant motion.
00:15:51 Daily Mail Comments Section – Estradiol Milkshake
A dream of new sound opens into whimsical smear-test colours. Daily Mail Comments Section – Estradiol Milkshake. Sonic DNA from shared lives drifts through the air, the surface expanding in inventive playful light.
00:17:27 Enofa – The Whispering Forest
A whispering forest surrounds a small modernist house in woodland setting. Enofa – The Whispering Forest. Acoustic and digital tones mesh across eighty minutes of personal vista. Ancient modernity rises through nature’s unstoppable force, the entire landscape holding claustrophobic and open power in steady motion.
00:20:57 The Green Kingdom – Noctilucent
Noctilucent light drifts across evening skies of soft piano and reverb-soaked guitar. The Green Kingdom – Noctilucent. Sampled textures and occasional synthesizer layers settle into calm airy space. The sounds open in dusky reflective presence.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
00:24:10 Dexba – Hồ Bán Cạn Việt Nam
A quirky melody reconstructs outdoor nature while classical piano gives structure. Dexba – Hồ Bán Cạn Việt Nam. The entire microcosm expands in self-contained luminous motion.
00:28:51 Akira Film Script – The Shadow of Windham Hill
Shadows of Windham Hill open across bidirectional cycles of existence. Akira Film Script – The Shadow of Windham Hill. Life and death, memory and presence move together in exchange. The track looks backward and forward at once, finding beauty in endings and beginnings.
00:33:20 Logic Moon & Piscean Daydreams – Baseline Drift
Baseline drift carries the music of the spheres through rain-soaked cityscapes. Logic Moon & Piscean Daydreams – Baseline Drift. Vast drones and spectral textures rise with richly layered field recordings. Organic and synthetic boundaries blur across industrial ruins and desolate rural landscapes, the cosmos holding hidden resonance.
00:36:52 Hill Collective – A House Is A Home Like Honey
A house opens like honey in warm communal light. Hill Collective – A House Is A Home Like Honey. Spiritual jazz tones breathe through collective improvisation. Saxophone, flute, piano, double bass and congas expand in earthy shared motion, the ensemble generating warmth and illumination together.
00:44:41 Paul Beaudoin – Wardenclyffe (Nothing returned)
Wardenclyffe towers stand in quiet residual signal. Paul Beaudoin – Wardenclyffe (Nothing returned). Granular field recordings and low-voltage processes form disrupted circuits. Tone, breath and resonance hum at the threshold of presence, the architecture listening to what remains.
00:49:21 Asha Patera – A Dark Horse
A dark horse moves through open sonic fields. Asha Patera – A Dark Horse. The landscape expands in steady luminous presence.
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.
