Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 320

Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes, which in my experience is usually Tuesdays, or during eclipses, or when the kettle boils. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread. Unless you look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A sentence that will not finish, then time asked to smile and, for once, agreeing.
Side A never changes to stop, opens doors until a room becomes a corridor, remixes Melody Day until it is handed back still humming, sits in the unfurnished space between, tunes a beautiful place out in the country from a congregation you were invited to, and arrives late to a videotape whose chorus has already been recorded. Side B launches Big Face like a boat, files a sensual woman under mercenary, wants you with the band waiting outside, cruises a street that only exists after the streetlights give up, interviews little fluffy clouds in a West Country accent, and puts a smile on a DJ’s face before keeping the change.
Overall mood: Warm, slightly nostalgic, and gently unfinished — full of souvenirs, velvet ropes left on the floor, and last pages that knew they were last. Perfect for dusk drives, rooms that decide to be corridors, or sitting still while the next spool still waits
Side A
Mood mist: a sentence that will not finish, doors agreeing to open, a day remixed until it smiles, a gap you can sit in, a beautiful place that may be a field recording of a sermon, a tape that knows it is the last song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF83_PR2EsA

Videotape. In Rainbows, last page. The chorus you were meant to sing along to has already been recorded. You are late, and that is the point.
Side B
Mood mist: a face launched like a boat, a woman filed under mercenary, a want with the band removed, a cruise that only runs after dark, clouds interviewed and found to be little, time asked to smile and, for once, agreeing.

Time, you and I. The mix that was asked to put a smile on a DJ’s face, and did, and then kept the change. Dead Oceans closing the case.

I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A clock that insists the world is already the argument, then a house that hums because it was cursed to.
Side A opens the door unlatched on a cuckoo that has already said what it came to say, builds a choir from stones that will not give the words, fidgets in Latin for a sound that will not sit still, files tears under ocean and returns the glass, sets a plate for a love that left no chair pushed in, and steps into a puddle that learned to be a room. Side B runs a rite hotter than the room agreed to, cuts a faun from the seventh tray of stones, reaches the far point of an orbit, refuses a capital letter for nights that would rather not be introduced, walks the last few steps into silence, and keeps the hymn book and the haunting on the same shelf.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly haunted, and quietly ritual — full of unlatched doors, lowercase dreams, and sanctuaries that sing whether you asked or not. Perfect for dusk listening, houses with a curse, or sitting still while the ripples never quite reach the edge.

Mood mist: a clock that insists the world is already the argument, a choir built from stones, Latin for a sound that will not sit still, tears filed under ocean, a love that left its plate, a puddle that learned to be a room.

Album: Sphere. Label: Métron Records
A sphere you can step in without wetting the hem. Métron counting the ripples that never reach the edge.

Mood mist: a rite that runs hot, a faun cut from the seventh tray of stones, the far point of an orbit, nights that refuse a capital letter, a walk that ends in quiet, a house that sings because it was cursed to.
00:20:17 Electric Circus – High Fever

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 311

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.
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 over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies.
Right then, my glittering cassette moths…
It’s time I had a quiet word with the universe about this Virtual Cassette Library lark of mine. Lately it’s been drifting off like a helium balloon made of old mixtape innards, floating away from the original bonfire of my intentions. I need to yank it back by its magnetic tape tail before it disappears into a cloud of forgotten B-sides.
I’ve just been bathing in the first episode of The Signal by Wall of Ambient — Harry Towell and James Osland swimming through the ambient oceans like two elegant seahorses in velvet capes. Go and drink it in on Substack. And while you’re there, follow me like a loyal moth to my flickering neon sign.
Anyway, Harry said something that pinged my third eye: concept is the beating heart of an album. And I suddenly realised that even though I pluck these tracks from their original conceptual wombs, my shows are actually stitched together with their own secret concepts. Lately I’ve been chattering between tracks like a magpie on a telephone wire and the concept has been leaking out like cheese from a toasted sandwich.
So what’s the concept, you ask, while adjusting your imaginary pipe?
Well, I’ve spent my entire working life lurking on and around stages like a quiet caretaker with glitter under his nails. I see each episode as a colossal rotating stage — a great mechanical blooming lotus. The audience only ever glimpses 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 like a peacock into fog, and the next act glides in. The stage spins at whatever speed the track demands — slow and syrupy or frantic and glittering.
I still want to whisper the names of the artists, the albums and the labels, so I’ll do that before each set — or “side,” as we cassette alchemists call them. Six little incantations per side, plus a general mist of what mood to expect.
Now… shall we let the stage begin to turn?
So episode 311 is a weathered, slightly spectral ambient journey through closing dive bars, overlapping canopies, and monuments that have already begun to kneel.
Overall mood: Contemplative, analog, and quietly dilapidated — full of forgotten light, phase transitions, and sockets still whispering in the dark. Perfect for late listening, empty stages, or sitting with the ivy while it finishes the sentence.

Side A lets shadows clock off at the edge of the universe, waves from a missed railway cutting, shares a stereo canopy, opens a December jar six months late, weathers the ivy through human architecture, and climbs dilapidated monuments only to accept itself.
00:05:30 Kh3rtis – As Shadows Fall Away
https://kh3rtis.bandcamp.com/track/as-shadows-fall-away
A dive bar at the edge of the universe closing its curtains. Shadows clocking off. You are left holding the light they forgot to take.
00:10:28 Sunshine Playroom / Prozapine – The Ultimate
A MicroKorg dressed as 1974 television, waving from a railway cutting that only exists when you miss it.
00:12:06 Chihei Hatakeyama & Jupi/ter – Canopy
https://ambientologist.bandcamp.com/track/canopy
Two canopies overlapping until the stereo field forgets which tree belongs to which country. Peace wearing someone else’s coat.
00:19:04 Matt Lowery – 12-13-24
https://mattlowery.bandcamp.com/track/12-13-24
The thirteenth of December kept in a jar and opened six months later. Modular dust that still remembers the day it was captured.
00:20:20 The Microgram – Weathered
https://kaisekidigital.bandcamp.com/track/weathered
Human architecture kneeling so the ivy can finish the sentence. A facility learning how to weather.
00:24:05 Blank Embrace – Dilapidated Monuments
https://kaisekidigital.bandcamp.com/track/dilapidated-monuments
Dilapidated monuments on a tundra that ends in a mountain you climb only to accept yourself. The stage turns very slowly here.

Side B argues in black and white until a drop becomes a drum, leaves the singers behind in Midas plumbing, hands in exam music before the piece ends, leaks a green chorus through melted glass, takes on new Beagle waters, and coils after midnight on a Yamaha four-track.
00:33:21 Amotken – Gota
https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/track/gota
Black and white arguing inside a twenty-year-old Mexican machine. A drop of water deciding it is also a drum.
00:37:39 El Michels Affair – Anticipate (Instrumental)
https://elmichelsaffair.bandcamp.com/track/anticipate-instrumental
The singers have left the building. What remains is the Midas plumbing — brass, choir-shaped air, a saxophone ghost clocking in for overtime.
00:40:31 The Sound Catelouge – Phase Transitions
https://theastralrealms.bandcamp.com/track/phase-transitions
Exam music found inside a textbook sleeve. Phase transitions for students who must hand in their papers before the piece ends.
00:42:50 Phil Geraldi – Chorus in Green
https://chakrawhip.bandcamp.com/track/chorus-in-green
Alien country radio leaking through melted glass. A chorus in green that never quite reaches the hook.
00:45:35 Tim Stebbing – New Waters
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/new-waters
HMS Beagle still taking on new water in 2026. Sequencers collecting specimens the Atlantic has not finished naming.
00:52:28 DOMOTIC – Serpenting
https://domotic.bandcamp.com/track/serpenting
*A Yamaha four-track recorded after midnight, coiling like fur that learned to hiss. Vintage sockets whispering to each other in the dark.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 310

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 310. 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 humid, analog journey through Chicago weather, dub earth, and a looking-glass that still grows.
Side A drifts through Bitchin Bajas organ-tape zones, Album Leaf story frames, Laswell’s lowered Marley devotion, Young Gun silver-fox chrome, Eels in a small room of memory, and Quiet Village pool-light haze. Side B drops into Coki’s ruff lovin’ pressure, FSOL mango-tree humidity, Röyksopp’s Late Night bounce, Tellier’s tender river, a brief Kendall Miles afterglow, and ends at Jefferson Airplane’s white rabbit.
Overall mood: Warm, cinematic, and slightly psychedelic — full of analog silk, sub-bass weather, and neon that refuses to cool. Perfect for late drives, pool-side dusk, or sitting with the credits while the mushroom keeps growing.
This is episode 310 which makes it a best of show. Where I’ve chosen 12 favourites from over the years.
The best of shows remain free but everything else slips quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers after 7 days. Subscribers currently have 1,135 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. They also receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, and get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.

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.
Now settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

Raining Fêtes Urge
Good evening… or good morning, wherever you are. This is Trevor.
Welcome once again to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set itself. This episode titled Raining Fêtes Urge is based on the track Villages, Hamlets And Fêtes (version) by one of my all time favorite artists Matthew Davies better known as Vic Mars. It’s from the album From Different Landscapes, which came out yesterday Friday the 1st of May 2026. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. If you can subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help.
Right then… here we go.
