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.

This has been The Virtual Cassette Library, episode 311.

I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 268
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-268/
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 268. 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 reflective, slightly dark ambient journey through memory, menace, quantum subtlety, and quiet acceptance.
Side A moves from flaming intensity and small-room nostalgia into protective shielding, occult precision, and wave-function deviations. Side B drifts through mossy mind-fog, returning places, hauntological guidance, Moog meadows, and ends on accepted suffering and powerlessness.
Overall mood: Contemplative, melancholic, and atmospheric — blending intimate warmth with subtle darkness and philosophical calm. Ideal for deep listening, late-night reflection, or quiet 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 1 093 other shows whenever they like.
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 of the 24 buildings in the veil. You can read about it on my Substack page. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures.
On this TVCL episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by James Bernard with the title track from his album “In A Small Room, Decades Ago” a love letter to the magical 90s. Grab a CD copy from the Past Inside the Present label.
This is followed by the shortest piece of the episode by Glass Roots and the 44 second gem “Merchant of Menace” from the 2020 nyp album “The Idiot” out on Triplicate Records.
Then a super exclusive from fellow Irishman Peter Fitzpatrick aka Circuit3 and the beautiful retro synth piece “Shielding From The Past” from the album “Metanoia: Music From Therapy” which can be pre ordered from the artists Bandcamp page and will also be released on the Mortality Tables label on the 14th of August.
The penultimate track of the first side of the virtual cassette is by the amazing James McKeown aka Hawksmoor with another track from his latest medieval inspired outing “Yclept Thorn” this time with the chilled piece “Ockham”. Out on the Library Of The Occult label.
Finishing off the first half, Fraser Rowan aka Ty Lumnus and his mind altering modular track “Deviations in the Wave Function” from his latest release titled “Resonances in the Hidden Field” which you can get a cassette version of through the Astral Discs label.
But first, to set the vibe is Ramsgates finest, Nick Bonell aka Lone Bison with not only the opening tune from episode but the opener from his latest album “Longshore Drifting” out on channel champion label Castles in Space. This is “Down in Flames”.
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.
Welcome sonic travellers to the B side. Six tracks down and six to go.
You’ll hear a gem from the 1978 album “Adonia” by Hervé Picart aka Ose and the synth dreamy track “Retour sur Adonia”. Get your CD or vinyl copy from the Bureau B label.
This is followed by another Belbury Poly track who I played in the previous episode. Here with “Your Way Today” from the wonderful album “The Owl’s Map.” Now available on Belbury Polys Bandcamp page.
After that Shropshire based Tom Kennedy aka Swansither and the pulsing “Moog Meadows” from another compilation you should have “Undulating Waters 10” the final release by the legendary Woodford Halse label.
Then the penultimate track for today comes in the form of recent friend of the channel and Hylé Tapes curator Richard Francés, here together with visual artists Faustine De Bock and Simon Girard aka Konpyuta here with the arp infused track “Accept Suffering” from the 2024 album “Music for Healing” which you can get on a pretty pink tape via the Planisphère label.
Finishing us off is the pumping beats of Ali O’May and Frazer Brown aka Dohnavùr and their banger “Powerless” from their recently released “We Owe Each Other Everything” album out on, yes, Castles In Space.
But first, friend of the show, Everyday Dust with some wonderful polyrhythmic noodlings in the track “(To Cut A Long Story Short) I Mossed My Mind” from his latest collection of archive finds titled “The Relic Room” which you can get on the Dustopian Frequencies label. Enjoy…

Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps.
A varied, atmospheric ambient journey blending mystical folklore, northern chill, and intimate warmth.
Side A moves from relaxing breaks and cliff-hanging tension into union commentary and mosaic beauty. Side B drifts through coastal calm, wizardly myths, hyperborean ice, sinister clouds, sunny winds, and communal glass.
Overall mood: Contemplative, mystical, and gently dynamic with a mix of dark mystery and hopeful warmth. Perfect for deep listening, nature connection, or late-night immersion.
As of now I’ll introduce Side A now and Side B in the intermission. as I’ve put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 263 episodes as well as the 820 plus other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for 3 quid anymore.

Each episode is around three hours and recorded from one of the floors from the 24 buildings in the veil.

On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by the collaboration of Analogue Path & channel friend Akira Film Script with the track “Lamkin” from volume two of the fantastic compilation series “The Silent Harvest” which you should really add to your collection if you haven’t already. They’re out on the Manchester based label FOLK POLICE RECORDINGS.
Then an artist that contacted me recently, fellow Irishman, Kilkenny based, Sean Grimes who goes bye the alias “NQUAUS” with the shortest track of the episode with the longest title “Rushe Cuts- NEW START- May 26- Vol. 1 – 15 – v.1.2 -Cliff Hanger” from the self released EP “Rushe Cuts vol.1 (Teaser)”.
After that Gordon Chapman-Fox an artist who is no stranger to the channel. A man with his noggin in the right place. “Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan” with the soaring track “Part of the Union” from the album “People & Industry Special Edition” with 4 bonus tracks from the 2021 original album, and you can grab that from the Castles In Space label.
This is followed by the Auckland, New Zealand artist Jim Marjoram and another piece from “The Silent Harvest Volume Two” FOLK POLICE RECORDINGS release the dark track is called “Lass of Lochroyan”.
Finishing off the first half is Berlin-based French musician arc rae and the stunning track “Mosaic” from the album “Bow and Arrow” and that’s out on long time channel supporter Las Vegas based Mystery Circles.
But first, to set the vibe is a collaboration I played on the last episode by Third Kind Records label curator Nicholas Langley together with university buddy Stephen Cousins. They are collectively known as Hz & Fisty Kendal here with the track “Relaxing Break” from the album “Now What?”
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.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 26
Good evening… or morning… or whatever smeared fragment of clock time you’ve drifted into tonight. This is EXPANSIVE WAVES 26. I’m Trevor — your host, your unreliable cartographer of the long haul, your occasional sonic conspirator.
This one’s not built for the impatient. Eight pieces. Each one stretching beyond twelve minutes. Together they uncoil for over three hours. If you came looking for hooks, drops, or anything that resembles forward motion, best to paddle elsewhere. Or just dim the lights, let the room breathe, and allow the ceiling to become a slow-moving planetarium. That works too.
Big thanks to Ivo Petrov at the Mahorka label for nudging me into a Plank Tone. I got gloriously lost and ended up delivering four. The first surfaced on April 8th. Tonight you’ll hear more of those strange, unhurried faces — independent corners, leftfield wanderers, music that refuses to be hurried.
We open with a twenty-four-minute soup. For anyone who’s ever been in a band, this is that glorious end-of-session moment when everyone’s a little fried and the music starts melting at the edges.
Merlin’s Spell — Merlin’s Spell [Full Demo]
A warm, hazy collective trance where sounds blur into one another like ink dropped in still water. Recorded back in 1978, gently refurbished for 2026. Out on The Dream Journal Institute — every penny heading to local libraries and quiet good causes.
That was Merlin’s Spell with Merlin’s Spell. Settle in now. Let the kettle do its slow work. Let the cat claim your chest like a small, purring dictator. Let the outside world keep spinning without you for a while.
Next, a dear friend of the show: Drew Huddart, recording as Scholars of the Peak. Fresh from a live set at Dubrek in Derby — the whole concert, audience whoops and all, because Drew decided not to chop it into polite pieces. Glorious nostalgic synths that feel like warm Sunday light through old lace curtains in the Peak District.
Scholars of the Peak — Live @ Dubrek Studios, Friday 10th April 2026
Bleeps and warm analogue sighs drifting through a room full of gentle human noise — the kind of set that makes you nostalgic for the future.
Now we arrive at the longest single piece I’ve ever slipped into this programme — a full hour, trimmed by a few cheeky seconds just so the software would swallow it. This is serious business.
OdNu + Ümlaut — Metamorphoses
An ever-shifting ambient landscape that never settles, never repeats, never lets you look away. Not lazy drift — this is meticulous, constantly breathing evolution. Out on Audiobulb, arriving June 6th. Prepare to be quietly astonished.
An old favourite now — the Russian master x.y.r. who can drop you straight into deep jungle with nothing more than a few well-placed field recordings and patient tones.
x.y.r. — altered zone (longform edition)
Birdsong threading through endless green layers, turning any room into a porch overlooking humid canopy at dusk. Tip for fellow travellers: when in doubt, add birds. They open windows that weren’t there before.
Back into the Mahorka family, 2019 vintage.
Thomas Park — Failsafe
Blade Runner rain on a corrugated tin roof, random synth trumpet stabs cutting through toxic haze. Neon signs flickering in puddles that never quite dry.
Still in the Mahorka stable, this time 2014.
Ab uno — Remorae (b side)
Deep drone waters where subtle synth lines move like slow silver fish just beneath the surface — barely visible, yet impossible to ignore once you notice them.
Penultimate unfolding, from The Jewel Garden label’s compilation.
Floating House Ensemble — Seven
Sax and strings delicately sprinkled over choral swells, like light catching on the edge of a slow-moving tide. As the Bandcamp page quietly reminds us: “I stood there, the whole day wrapped around me. I stood there, crying, smelling vine.”
And so the waves begin their gentle retreat for another evening. Eight long forms. Eight patient unfoldings. If any of them settled into the quieter corners of your night, you’ll find the links and love on the episode page at trevor.se and in the Mixcloud comments.
Feel free to leave something on the timeline — a half-thought, a soft sigh, or even a single emoji that somehow contains the entire universe.
We close episode twenty-six with Michael Plaster, recording as yttriphie.
yttriphie — Paddock of Skies
Twinkling space music from the album Solipsis on Projekt Records — delicate starlight that slowly swells until the whole sky feels like it’s breathing with you.
Until the next fragment of drifting time pulls us back into the same warm current… this is Trevor, signing off from EXPANSIVE WAVES 26.
Cheerio…
(Tracklist with links remains exactly as provided — because even in the longform fog, some things should stay perfectly clear.)

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 159
26 December 2025
Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑five‑nine of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Twist Fondest Waffle—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. 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. We begin with Arbee & Norvik drifting through a Montréal alleyway, Bary Center disappearing into the trees, and Pocket Lint reminding us that we grow through our friends. There’s a rise‑in‑love from micca, diamond‑cracking teeth from pjpriiincess, and a new sun courtesy of GODTET. 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. Later on, we’ll hear winter choruses from Unruly Disturbance, a 2025 remaster from Ian Boddy & Chris Carter, and a snowy Christmas‑Eve vignette from On Idyl. Leisure Prison gives us another living space, Tim Story offers a dust bale hole, and Clearways pings us exactly once before Michael D. Tidwell closes the A side. On the flip side, Tapemoth brings entropy, Marie dissolves into a Bahrambient remix, and IKSRE gives us granite from Imaginary North. There’s cartography from Droning Cats with NRV, Italian library breaks from Modern Sound Quartet, and a fading coordinate from Grant Beasley. Roedelius appears, as he often does, like a quiet blessing. I’ve slipped in one of my own—Another Oddly Screamed—before Floating Points and Raphah carry us gently to the end. It’s ambient, kosmische, wintery, slightly haunted, and occasionally festive in a sideways sort of way. 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. First track up: Arbee & Norvik, Dans une ruelle, suite…”

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 140
8 November 2025
///trunk.stubbed.wiser.
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 140 of The Virtual Cassette Library.
Trunk Stubbed Wiser is the episodes subtitle, as well as the track you’re hearing in the background and it’s geographical location which I’ve filmed and can be experienced on YouTube.
I’m Trevor and I curate these 90-minute genre bending drifts through frequencies from around the globe. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion. Two, 45 minute mixes, 15 tracks per side with a side change in the middle.
Picture the listening experience like being at a music festival where the artists play on a rotating stage. Each act is allotted time for their piece and as it ends the next act takes over rotating into view.

Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 109
///prosper.desire.jams
🎙️ Welcome to Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library, Episode 109 Titled: Prosper Desire Jams.
This is a radiant transmission of longing, loops, and layered frequencies.—woven into two uninterrupted 45-minute cassette sides, with a metaphysical flip halfway through. A sonic constellation—where experimental electronics meet folk storytelling, and drone ambient dissolves into hypnagogic techno. It’s a celebration of creative yearning, stitched together with tape hiss, bird song, and the occasional pulse of a cheap synth.
These shows are crafted for walking meditations, mental wanderings, or quiet communion with the universe. No commentary between tracks—just pure sonic immersion. You’re invited to follow along on the timeline. Don’t be shy.
🎶 Support the Signal by Pre-ordering the 5th Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library album on Bandcamp to help keep the channel alive.
