Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 256
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 256. 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.
An eclectic, atmospheric journey blending whimsical dawn grooves, northern flows, and ancient mystical energies.
Side A moves from sardine sunrises and titanium explorations into nodal precision, soft focus, and prime matter. Side B shifts through metropolitan gothic, leaping sorcery, seasonal transformation, and ancient tumuli.
Overall mood: Playful yet contemplative, warm, and mysterious with a mix of light whimsy and deeper resonance. Perfect for adventurous listening, golden-hour drives, or late-night immersion.
Episode 256 is based, appropriately, on the bubbling track “Hylé” by “Denis Violet” from the release “Connection: sculpting silence” out on Paris based Hylé Tapes label. Shout out to Richard Francés who has sent me a load of releases from his label this week.
Thanks also to Paul Beaudoin, and Substak for sending me your latest works I’ll be featuring you very soon.
In this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by unmistakeably Polish artist Marek Kwiatkowski,
An artists that has gone under the radar for years is the UK based Mark Ellery Griffiths. If you’re into vintage synths then dive into his vast name your price catalogue on Bandcamp. Mark gives us some brutalist electronica.
Another regular of the episodes is Rick Jones aka DARK FIDELITY HIFI with Orb flavoured Idm out on his sight and sound label. Also London based Rodrigo Passannantis’ latest I can’t seem to get enough of those soaring synth lines lately. From the Cyclical Dreams label.
Ivo Petrovs Mahorka label is almost always included. This time with quirky dub vibes from Mülheim, Germany based Record Of Tides.
The B side opens with the 27 minute track showing us what the Nord Modular G1 can do by Switzerland based Rupert Lally. This track would have made it onto an Expansive Waves episode but I’ve decided to discontinue those due to lack of motivation.
Clarinet based braindance from Berlin duo Meier & Erdmann.
Then Leeds based Ethiopian Jazz flavours from The Source on ATA records.
Then my friend Gavin Brick aka The Metamorph chills us out with live sci-fi injected ambient.
Ending episode 256 is the great combo of Drew Mulholland & Garden Gate with a haunted finale via Subexotic Records.
But setting the tape rolling today is an almost avant-garde Idm setting with Liryc303, here as, Cylander together with friend of the channel Fluffy Inside and their track Sardine Sunrise the Fluffy Inside’s Cloudy Dawn Mix. Available through the Neo Ouija label.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 19
17 November 2025
Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Expansive Waves, episode nineteen, and I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
Tonight’s programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces, each longer than twelve minutes, each more patient than the last. If you’re expecting choruses, drops, or anything resembling urgency, you may want to try another channel.
We begin, as always, not with a bang but with a murmur. The track you’re hearing underneath me is from my own unreleased album, TVCL 08. It’ll be out when it’s ready—sixteen tracks, no sooner. You can find it on Bandcamp under Trevlad, if you’re the curious sort.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the dog sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.

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.
