Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 185
16 March 2026
(Omnipollos Hatt)
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Welcome to Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, Episode 185, your virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. As per usual we’ll dive into 20 artists. All the shows have three word subtitles for places that have some meaning for me personally. These are also used as names for the background music in show intros and outros. This episodes’ subtitle is

This episode has a bunch of artists from releases on the driftworks and whitelabrecs compilations ‘This Burnished Land’ and ‘An Ambient Decade’. Also a couple of tracks from the wonderful Passed Recordings label who were nice enough to write a Substack post about me.
There has been a break in the Virtual Cassette Library series. The last one was a whole week ago since then I’ve been busy working on the Chord Confessions series. And please do send in your stories about a piece of music that has been pivotal in your life. You can record it yourself or I can tell it for you while promoting you and playing the most important music on the planet. A win, win, win concept. I’ve also done a couple of Krautrock inspired sets and a couple of Female artist sets celebrating International women’s day. AND, I’ve started a new idea of mixing story telling with DJ sets where I do a story based on the tracks in the set. All these while doing 5 part time jobs.
A shout out to my one new follower this week ‘Citizens of Sound’ who are a dynamic podcast production agency that brings shows to life with gravity, handling everything from conception and branding to editing, mastering, management, and distribution for creators seeking impactful audio storytelling. They also seem to be involved with live events too. Great stuff…
We start with a couple of friends of the show who I believe made contact after appearing on the same compilation I released last December ‘Resonances from the Depths’ This is the New South Wales / Vancouver collaboration CommsBreakdown + Socool – My Brain Feels So Good (CommsBreakdown Mix)
filtered guitar flickers like neon through rain-smeared windows, bass hugs the ribs, oh the snare snaps dopamine straight into the bloodstream, feet move before the mind catches up, so good so good so good…
That was My Brain Feels So Good by CommsBreakdown together with Socool
And now whitelabrecs label curator Harry Towell – The Arrival from the album Infinite Light.
horizon line shimmer gold, birdcalls echo on porch wall, lungs fill with warm arrival, everything settling into place like dust finally deciding to land
That was Harry Towell with The Arrival. Now from a label who’s been growing to new heights daily Passed Recordings. Here is one of their more beat oriented artists.
Unruly Disturbance – Winter Chorus (from The Ghost of Christmas Passed)
icicle voices overlap in the chimney throat, old tinsel ghosts harmonize with wind through cracked panes, memory frost blooming on the inside of eyelids, shivering carols no one saw.
That was Manchester based artist Unruly Disturbance with Winter Chorus.
Now from winter vibes direct to California beaches and funky indie pop joviality with Ginger Root – Neighbor from the album City Slicker
elevator soul hums through thin walls, city lights smear like lipstick on glass, who’s next door living my alternate Tuesdays, smooth keys slide under skin, pretending not to notice the shared vibes.
That was Ginger Root with Neighbor. Next a good mate of the channel
Asha Patera – The Light From Within from the album Ocean Compilation 2 out on the extremely prolific label Sounds for the Soul Records. A great label to get a track on if you want to get noticed.
golden thread unspools behind the sternum, breath catches on warm filament, everything inside glowing quiet, no edges, just soft radiance pooling where shadows used to sit
That was Asha Patera with The Light From Within. Asha will also appear on my upcoming compilation Puzzles of the Psyche. There are still a few day left to send in a piece.
Now Lingua Lustra – Cloudsong from the album Essence from 2017 and recently released on a compilation featuring Lingua Lustras most notable tracks.
drifting white shapes swallow the sky, tones float weightless like exhaled thoughts, higher, softer, dissolving into pale blue nothing, I am only vapor now
That was Lingua Lustra with Cloudsong
Next up a couple of artists I’ve played a few times on the channel get together here. Dogs Versus Shadows & Nicholas Langley – ‘Slapdash And Bouldered’ from the album 16mm out on Spanish label Strategic Tape Reserve. The shortest track of the show.
wonky tape warble stumbles over mossy rocks, slap echo bounces erratic, head full of loose marbles rolling downhill, laughter distorted through pine needles, gloriously off-kilter
That was Dogs Versus Shadows & Nicholas Langley with ‘Slapdash And Bouldered’.
Now a balearic vibe and some more birds Sweatson Klank – Ultra Marine from the album Aureolin Winter compilation out on Los Angeles, California’s Friends Of Friends label.
deep cyan pulse underwater cathedral, synth tendrils curl like bioluminescent kelp, body suspended, heart knocking slow against infinite blue pressure, beautiful drowning.
That was Sweatson Klank with Ultra Marine.
Next staying with the birds. I do miss my old mix show For The Birds where all the tracks featured birds. One beautiful day when some more of you subscribe I’ll bring it back. Anyway here’s another collaboration. This time Graham Seaman, Mosaicist and Noctilusense – Pastures Green from the album This Burnished Land available through the Driftworks label.
emerald blades bend under invisible feet, distant bell tone ripples through dew, mind wanders fence lines that aren’t there anymore, green green greener until the color swallows itself.
That was Graham Seaman, Mosaicist and Noctilusense with Pastures Green
Now Michael Grigoni – Nod from that fantastic whitelabrecs compilation ‘An Ambient Decade’
slow eyelid curtain falls, world softens to charcoal smudge, breath syncs with low tide hum, nodding deeper into velvet dark, yes, yes, keep going.
Next, to end the A side, we stay with whitelabrecs and An Ambient Decade. This is Mosaicist, Simon Hall, Neil McRoberts, Percolator and Marjorie Dawson with Jack from (au·tay·uh·row·uh) Aotearoa – Waiting For Rain.
dry earth cracks whisper upward, sky heavy with unshed silver, fingers trace dust on windowsill, clouds gather like forgotten promises, any second now the first drop.
B Side –
We open Side B with yet another collaboration. This time Israeli artists Nitai Hershkovits & Daniel Dor – Elsewhere – Found & Found. This is one of only two tracks available to listen to on the pre-order of the album which will be released on April 24. ‘Found & Found’ is their second outing together. Back in 2024 they released one of my favourite albums of that year ‘The Garden Suite’. What we hear here is promising.
piano keys wander off the map, somewhere between memory and tomorrow, notes drift like lantern paper across black water, we aren’t here anymore, are we.
That was Nitai Hershkovits & Daniel Dor with Elsewhere.
Next a piece of my own as Trevlad – Hill Roving Slicer from the album TVCL 10 which is the 10th album of collected backgrounds from the Virtual Cassette Library series. If leaving tips or subscribing to the Mixcloud is not your thing then maybe you could consider grabbing a copy of one the back catalogue albums. Anyway…
wind slices grass blades sideways, modular blades carve hill contours, body tumbling through frequency grass, roving, slicing, alive in the shear
That was me, Trevlad with Hill Roving Slicer.
Now from the East coast of Sweden to the West this is Datasal – Besök from the double A side single Observatoriet / Besök out on Gothenburgs finest Höga Nord Rekords. A wonderful mix of synth and guitar here.
Swedish twilight creaks open, footsteps on wooden dock over dark lake, visitor arrives without knocking, air thick with pine and unsaid words, welcome, stay
That was Datasal with Besök.
Next Mr Harry Towell is back with his alias Glåsbird – Days of Iron and Steam, another featured track from the compilation An Ambient Decade. Wonderful ambient tones and sparce piano.
rusted pistons sigh in fogged morning, iron veins pulse slow heat, steam ghosts rise from cracked boiler hearts, industrial lullaby grinding toward dusk.
That was Glåsbird with Days of Iron and Steam. Now another couple of friends of the channel here in the form of Exit Chamber & Ed Herbers – Loathing (from SELF-) out on that fantastic label Passed Recordings that keep insisting on being included in the shows by being the best.
nails on chalkboard nerves, mirror cracks inward, loathing coils like smoke in the throat, self staring back with borrowed eyes, heavier every loop
That was Exit Chamber & Ed Herbers with Loathing
Next the longest piece og the episode, clocking in at 10:17 by the artist JSF – The Opening Gate (Splendid Seas of Canopus) from the album ‘Astral Airways’ out on a label that’s been catching my attention lately ‘The Dream Journal Institute’.
cosmic gate creaks on star hinges, Canopus light floods the corridor, splendid seas roll in vacuum waves, sailing weightless toward unknown shore
That was JSF with The Opening Gate (Splendid Seas of Canopus)
Now yet another collaboration. Julia Gjertsen and Gustav Davidsson – ‘Afterglow’ from the album ‘Wandering Mind, Drifting Weather’. Norwegian piano meet Swedish trombone.
last ember glows behind closed lids, piano traces fading sunset lines, bodies still humming from earlier touch, quiet warmth lingers, refuses to leave
That was Julia Gjertsen and Gustav Davidsson with Afterglow.
simon mccorry – in the feint of moonlight – ‘all the important things are now connected’. On whitelabrecs. A listening party on the 16 of March with the official release set for 21 March.
moonlight feints through bare branches, cello bow breathes almost inaudible, silver outline of everything almost disappearing, almost here, almost gone
That was simon mccorry with the penultimate track of episode 185, ‘in the feint of moonlight’.
To end the show I give you Visible Cloaks – Disque (ft. Motion Graphics) from the album Paradessence. Available through RVNG Intl.
prism refractions dance on wet pavement, synths bloom fractal petals, motion graphics flicker inside the mind’s eye, disque spinning endless iridescent now.
Thanks for listening…
echoes fold into themselves, last tone hangs like breath in winter air, silence returns, softer than before, carrying everything we heard… cheerio…

Trev Tales – Neon Cassette
Welcome to NEON CASSETTE, the transmission where analog dreams collide with digital ghosts, and every beat feels like a memory you never quite lived.
I’m your host, Trevor, speaking straight from the glow of a flickering CRT, cassette deck spinning, reverb tail trailing into the void.
This new series (I know I do too much already) is an idea I have for doing live DJ sets combined with me reading fictional tales where each transition is a new chapter. I hope you like it. Channel subscribers get the music only mixes of course.
We’re diving deep into the grid—stolen frequencies, midnight motorways, poolside echoes that never quite close up, and utopian mirages that glitch when you get too close. We’ve got a handpicked journey through the underground wires: from the raw pulse of trial and resistance, through lunar skin and stargazing rooftops, all the way to that final white-noise cliff where we realize we can’t wait for death… because the night’s already ours.
So dim the lights, hit play, let the tape hiss fill the room. We’re not just listening—we’re escaping.
Apta – Trial – 01:28
Gavel pixels stutter across the cathode screen, my wrists cuffed in magnetic tape loops. The judge’s face is pure waveform, spiking guilt, spiking innocence, I can’t tell which. Fingers itch for the keys anyway—steal the sound, steal the future, they said. The courtroom hums like a detuned oscillator. One wrong note and the grid swallows me whole. But the tape is already rolling. Escape in 4… 3… 2…
Cautionary Guides – Merseytravel – 05:29
Train doors hiss open onto wet Liverpool concrete, South Parkway signs bleeding orange into the night. Cautionary yellow lines streak past the window like corrupted data. My reflection stares back—hollow, cassette-case thin—while the Mersey rolls black and silver below. Suitcase full of stolen patches rattles on the rack. Every mile erases the courtroom glow. North, south, doesn’t matter. The rhythm says keep moving.
Jetfire Prime – Closing Up (Unreleased Poolside Track) – 08:00
Club lights die one by one, turquoise rectangles folding into black water. Last swimmer’s laughter echoes off tiled walls that smell of chlorine and ozone. I stand at the edge, towel around my neck like a noose, watching the pool reflect a sky that no longer exists. Unreleased. That’s what they’ll call this night too. The gate clangs shut behind me. Echoes only.
Conny Frischauf – Wunder – 09:17
A single chord blooms—pure Wunder—lifting the hairs on my arms like static electricity. For one frozen second the motorway becomes a cathedral of light. Then the chord bends, warps, reveals itself as just another illusion. Still, the heart remembers the lift. Still, the lungs remember how to breathe again.
Patrick R. Pärk – Synthetic Utopian Mirage – 11:37
Palm trees made of vector lines shimmer above cracked asphalt. Perfect neon condos float above the desert, windows full of laughing holograms. I reach out—fingers pass straight through pink stucco. The mirage laughs back in 16-bit. Utopia always looked better on the oscilloscope.
Franco Esse – Pelle Di Luna – 19:08
Her shoulder under moonlight—silver, cool, impossible. Skin like vinyl left in the sun too long, warm and warped and perfect. I trace the curve with a fingertip and the memory skips, repeats, skips again. Pelle di luna. The only sample I never stole.
Pabellón Sintético – La Resistencia – 21:20
Concrete walls pulse with red spray-paint glyphs. We are the resistance of the last frequency. Boots on wet pavement, synths hidden in rucksacks, hearts beating in 4/4 defiance. Sirens in the distance sound like detuned arpeggios. We don’t run. We modulate.
Acos CoolKAs – Stargazing – 29:09
Roof tiles cold against my back. Stars above look like dead LEDs someone forgot to turn off. I count them anyway—each one a lost patch, each one a night we almost made. The city hums below like a held note. I keep staring until the sky itself starts to breathe.
Dark Strands – We Own The Night – 34:08
We own the night. The slogan tastes like copper and cheap smoke. Streetlights flicker in time with the kick. Shadows lengthen, stretch into black ribbons we can hide inside. Tonight the city belongs to anyone with a sequencer and a grudge. Tonight we are the dark strands holding everything together.
Makeup and Vanity Set – Search The Night – 40:15
Flashlight beam sweeps empty arcades, hunting for one more glowing screen. Makeup smeared across cracked mirrors, vanity long gone. I search for the signal that will tell me it’s safe to stop running. Every corner throws back only my own face, distorted, beautiful, terrified.
Dogs Versus Shadows – MALCONTENT – 42:42
Malcontent. The word snarls in my chest like a broken sawtooth. Everything perfect is a lie. Every utopia glitches. Every lover fades to static. I bare my teeth at the moon and the moon bares its teeth right back. Good. At least we understand each other.
Pye Corner Audio – Program 70 – 44:15
Program 70 boots in the glovebox—green phosphor glow lighting the steering wheel. Old code I wrote when I still believed in happy endings. It hums, remembers me, offers one last subroutine: RUN AWAY. I laugh until the tears short-circuit the dashboard.
Salvatore Mercatante – Detector – 48:22
Beep. Beep. The scanner on the dash lights up red. They’re close. Detector never lies. I floor it. The engine screams in perfect fifths. Every beep is another bar of the final track I’ll never finish.
Albin – Hammenhög – 52:13
Hammenhög appears like a memory I never lived—red wooden houses, windmills frozen mid-turn, snow that shouldn’t be here in July. I pull over, engine ticking cool. For one moment the world is quiet. Then the detector beeps again. Even paradise has an exit ramp.
Larry Manteca – Tuareg Road – 55:32
Sand whips across the windshield in turquoise dunes. Tuareg Road stretches forever under a violet sky. No mirrors, no rear-view, just forward. The car becomes a camel made of chrome. I ride the arpeggio into infinity.
Erez Yaary – O7 – 57:05
O7. The secret orbit. The code inside the code. I punch it into the old radio and the stars realign. For seven seconds I am outside everything—outside the trial, outside the night, outside death itself. Then gravity remembers my name.
Yves Malone – We Can’t Wait For Death – 1:05:26
The road ends at a cliff of pure white noise. I kill the engine. The last chord hangs in the air like a question that already knows the answer. We can’t wait for death—death has been riding shotgun the whole time, tapping its foot to the beat. I smile, finally. The tape clicks off. Silence rushes in, warm and endless.
The stars above are still blinking in perfect 4/4.
I close my eyes.
The next track begins inside my chest.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 156
16 December 2025
“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑five‑six of the Virtual Cassette Library. Theme is Weaned Them Quietly—that’s the track you hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map if you’re curious enough to look it up on What3Words or YouTube. As usual, it’s ninety minutes, two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know—Craig Padilla on Projekt Records, Thom Yorke on XL Recordings—and others you might stumble across for the first time, like Sulk Rooms from Honley, or Rupert Lally out of Switzerland. Michal Turtle and HOVE bring us something dreamlike from Basel, Chris Randall sends mechanical pulses from Phoenix on Triplicate Records, and Redvet offers a guiding star from Floodlit Recordings. Now, there’s a little game running through these episodes starting with this episode. Each week, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten shows, 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, if you’re counting, 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’ve got it right. Later on, we’ll hear Jarguna, Odile Bruckert, and Henrik Meierkord weaving textures somewhere between drone and kosmische; Daniel Vincent and Rick Sanders sketching out their own universes; Camp of Wolves from Lunar Module; Onepointwo with melodies that feel like they’ve always been there; Cole Pulice drifting through saxophone dreamscapes on Moon Glyph; and MICADO with a Berlin School ambient dream courtesy of Cyclical Dreams. On the flip side, Raica on Silver Threads, Lorna Dune, Signalstoerung with Asja Skrinik on Adventurous Music, Jordane Prestrot from France, and a piece of my own as Trevlad alongside Masefield Labs and gribbles. Fisty Kendal, Floormat Doormat, frostlake from Sheffield, Tom Bragl on Kahvi Collective, Kutiman and Ouzo Bazooka with a desert groove from Batov Records, Dual Dialect climbing pyramids, and Ghost In The Loop from Imaginary North. It’s ambient, drone, kosmische, experimental pop, modular synths, hauntology, global funk, and a bit of humour thrown in. 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: Craig Padilla, Calypsos Improv Live 2011…”

12 November 2025
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 142 of The Virtual Cassette Library.
Patch Adults Pebble is the episodes subtitle, as well as the track you’re hearing in the background and its 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 set with a side change half way.
Imagine 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.
Styles for this episode range from electronic to poetic lounge, from indie rock to dungeon synth. The musical keys in focus are F and D minor.
This episode contains four exclusives, two of which are being released today. The first is from myself and a track from the album TVCL 7 which drops today. I release an album every 16 episodes with the complete versions of the background soundscapes from each episode. The second exclusive also being released today is from the wonderfully talented Andrew Wasylyk. The track, First Moonbeams Of Adulthood should have appeared on Clay Pipe Music before this reaches your ears. The third exclusive is from Veelargo. Liqueed Chainfx is from the album Drealusions and drops on the Bricolage label November 21st. The fourth exclusive is the track Means of Escape, Pt. 1 by Daniel Vincent from his album Means of Escape which drops on his Bandcamp page on Friday 14th of November. Also we’re joined by some friends of the channel like gribbles, The Earl of Dean and survey channel as well as supporting labels like Third Kind Records, Subexotic Records, Castles in Space, Mortality Tables and many more. All the artists and labels are the soul of this show.

Special thanks to Free Album Codes—always fueling the episodes with Bandcamp gems. 🙏
This episode includes 3 exclusive tracks that you’ll probably only hear here before they are officially released. The A side opens with a descent beneath the surface—into fractured ground and emotional resonance. From Newcastle’s electronic frontier, Bartholomew brings us “Land Fracture”, a track from his forthcoming album Subterranea, releasing July 25th via Castles In Space very own Lunar Module.
Crafted by composer Chris Bartholomew, whose theatrical credits include the Barbican and National Theatre Studio, this piece fuses cinematic storytelling with generative electronics, orchestral textures, and raw sonic abrasion. It’s a meditation on instability—both geological and emotional.
🌀 “Land Fracture” feels like a fault line rendered in sound. Granular textures crackle beneath sweeping harmonic arcs. There’s tension, but also grace. Think Hans Zimmer’s emotional weight, Tim Hecker’s digital erosion, and Ben Frost’s stark minimalism—all refracted through Bartholomew’s unique lens.
The album Subterranea was born after a shared bill with Gordon Chapman-Fox of Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan. That performance led to this release on Lunar Module, and it’s already drawing praise from sonic visionaries like Leafcutter John, who described the album as:
“Cryogenically frozen Beach Boys slowly melting from the Earth’s final great glacier.”
🎧 “Land Fracture” is just one of eight tracks that explore resilience, collapse, and the beauty found in broken structures. The full album drops July 25th on CD and digital. If you’re near Newcastle, don’t miss the launch party at The Globe on July 24th.
🌌 Let the ground shift. Let the frequencies fracture. This is Bartholomew.
Also on the A side a moment of return, of memory, of warmth wrapped in stillness. This exclusive preview comes from the upcoming album Aunque llegue la mañana by Spanish duo Raúl Cantizano and David Cordero, featuring the haunting voice of Lela Soto.
The track is titled “Algo a lo que regresar”—something to return to—and it lives up to its name. It’s a quiet invocation of place and feeling, where Cantizano’s flamenco guitar gently converses with Cordero’s ambient textures. The result is a soundscape that feels both rooted and weightless, like a memory suspended in golden light.
🌀 Lela Soto’s voice drifts in like a breeze through an open window—fragile, soulful, and timeless. Her presence adds a spectral warmth to the minimalist arrangement, grounding the electronics in something deeply human.
This is not fusion—it’s communion. Flamenco and ambient don’t clash here; they breathe together. The track is part of a larger work that explores absence, light, and the quiet persistence of hope.
🎧 The full album releases July 18, 2025, via Noray Records, with a limited cassette edition and digital formats available. Until then, this exclusive track offers a glimpse into a world where tradition and experimentation meet in hushed reverence.
🌙 Let this be your anchor. Let it remind you of something worth returning to.
⚡️ The final exclusive of the episode follows directly after this.—a track that doesn’t whisper, it confronts. This is “Trans Kid Karmic Vengeance” by East London’s Bit Cloudy, from the upcoming full-length protest album U.S. Nadir, releasing August 8th, 2025.
Known for his work across labels like Castles In Space, Lost Map, and Front and Follow, Bit Cloudy delivers a sonic gut-punch here—an instrumental that seethes with urgency and layered defiance. It’s IDM with teeth. Ambient with a purpose.
🌀 “Trans Kid Karmic Vengeance” is a title that says everything before the first note hits. It’s a rallying cry, a reckoning, and a reclamation. The track itself is a dense weave of distorted textures, and melodic fragments that shimmer like broken glass in sunlight. It’s fierce, but never chaotic—every element is placed with intention.
It’s resistance in waveform. A response to cruelty, to erasure, to the systems that fail the most vulnerable. And it’s delivered with a clarity that cuts through the noise.
🎧 Pre-order the full album U.S. Nadir via Bit Cloudy’s Bandcamp Page.
I won’t be commenting between the tracks. You can do that on the time line. Don’t be shy.
