Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 162

1 January 2026

///mugs.softest.owners

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‑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.”

The name is also the title of the track you hear in the background—available for pre-order on Bandcamp and ready to be absorbed on YouTube. It’s the anchor of this episode, the pulse beneath the mix.
As always, we embark on a 90-minute journey through sound—crafted for walking meditations, mental meanderings, and communion with the cosmos. No commentary between tracks. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion.
Side A opens with Loula Yorke’s Time is a Succession of Such Shapes, and flows through Ironic Hill, Benge, µ-Ziq, Jogging House, and more. You’ll hear Instant Respect Latter from myself, and an exclusive remix of The Long Dead King by The Form Group of the The Leaf Library fame.
Side B flips the signal with Panic Girl’s Between the Shadows, Fallen’s Awareness, Resilience, and gribbles’ Poppi. We drift through Suncastle, Stone Anthem, and an exclusive haunting excerpt from Louis Gardner’s The Lake. The full 23 minute version can be heard on yesterday’s episode of EXPANSIVE WAVES. The journey closes with Jamie Lidell’s Unmasking—a final breath before silence.
