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. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures. This episode of The Virtual Cassette Library is inspired by the track “Naptime” by an artist with the fantastic name “Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota” from the album “Music for Babies” which is out on the channel sponsoring Mystery Circles label. 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. After that Limoges, France based Mea Poulpa and the chilled bass lines and beats of the track “Ways” from the album Beyond Glass which is out on Camembert Électrique Then some Eastern block Jungle from Plovdiv based Jawhinge and the track “post_soc” from the album WeirdWired out on Bulgarian label Mahorka. This leads into some trip hop stylings from a Protuberance remix of the Discknocked feat. Montse track “Lonely day” taken from the 2014 album Recollections also out on Mahorka. We continue with another piece from this great album, the super chilled beat driven Protuberance track “Crying Warrior”. Then the penultimate piece for today comes in the form of the episode inspired piece “Naptime” by Seattle, Washington based duo Julia Shapiro and Samur Khouja who call themselves Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota. Finishing us off is the rather funky “Permafried” by another duo in the form of Hz & Fisty Kendal who are Nicholas Langley and Stephen Cousins. this is from the album Now What? which is out on Langley curated label Third Kind Records. But first, to set the vibe is a friend of the show from Bristol, UK, James McKeown aka Hawksmoor with a Teenage Engineering medieval folksy new creation from the album “Yclept Thorn” this is the track “Trismosin”. Now 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.
Side A 00:00:00 Hawksmoor – Trismosin Mystical, alchemical ambient with Trismosin-inspired esoteric resonance and dark, occult elegance. Haunting and immersive. 00:08:56 Aurel Val – Bonsoir Gentle, evening ambient with French “good evening” warmth and soft, twilight textures. Peaceful and intimate. 00:14:06 Fragile X – Qualia Delicate, subjective-experience ambient with qualia-like textures and emotional vulnerability. Introspective and tender. 00:17:08 Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster – Jungle Scan Dense, biodiverse ambient with scanning jungle rhythms and vibrant, layered life. Lush and exploratory. 00:25:56 Solipsism – Sierra Oscar Kilo Solipsistic, military-coded ambient with isolated, phonetic intensity and stark, personal focus. Side B 00:33:33 SURVEY CHANNEL – Tungsten Pillow Metallic, pillow-soft ambient with tungsten strength and dreamlike, resting contrast. Quirky and atmospheric. 00:38:14 Mea Poulpa – Ways Organic, path-exploring ambient with gentle, “poulpa” (octopus-like) fluidity and multiple ways. Curious and flowing. 00:40:25 Jawhinge – post_soc Post-societal ambient with hinge-like transitions and mechanical, societal decay textures. Stark and reflective. 00:42:34 Discknocked feat. Montse – Lonely day (Protuberance Hawk spirit chill mix) Chill, lonely-day ambient with hawk-spirit chill and emotional, knocked-out resonance. Melancholic and soothing. 00:47:55 Protuberance – Crying Warrior Emotional, warrior-like ambient with crying intensity and powerful, protruding strength. Dramatic and cathartic. 00:52:18 Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota – Naptime Cosy, nap-time ambient with playful, bartender whimsy and gentle, relaxing vibes. Light-hearted and comforting. 00:55:31 Hz & Fisty Kendal – Permafried Permanently fried, glitchy ambient with permanent, hazy distortion and quirky, fried energy. Eccentric and chaotic.
Also in the works, the latest compilation titled Quiet Figures which will be released September 26. Uncover the narratives whispered by the silent, ever-present figures that shadow us, through compositions that unravel their hidden mysteries. Does that trigger a creative thought?

“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑six‑two of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Mugs Softest Owners—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words. Before we begin, a very warm Happy New Year to you. Whether you’re listening on a walk, in the quiet of the early hours, or hiding from the world with a pair of headphones, I hope 2026 brings you peace, curiosity, and a few unexpected sonic discoveries. We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun. And a quick note: the tracks by Simon McCorry and Gregory Paul Mineeff in this episode are exclusives from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation sleeplaboratory6.0. Apologies to Harry for playing so many pieces from this wonderful release, which drops tomorrow, the 2nd of January. When something’s good, it’s hard not to share it. Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right. The rest of the show wanders through kosmische corners, microtonal detours, lullabies, croquettes, mythology, therapy, vortexes, and the occasional snow‑dusted memory. The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”
“Evening all. Episode one-four-six of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Nozzles Carrots Laws. 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.” “Keys in focus this time: F major and D minor.
