Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 274
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-274/
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 274. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
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.
A textured, slightly nocturnal ambient journey through quiet intensity, natural shifts, and digital calm.
Side A moves from prowling glass and sea changes into moonlight grass, barrel flowers, reduced beats, and deep geological time. Side B drifts through wormeries, rushing ascent, liquid amber circles, grid edges, digital meditation, and ends on an old road.
Overall mood: Contemplative, atmospheric, and gently dynamic — blending organic warmth with subtle tension and quiet modern stillness. Perfect for late-evening listening, deep focus, or peaceful immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,101 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
Side A
On this episode you’ll hear the sprawling and inventive side-project of Suncastle’s George Evans and Kristofer Thomas aka Paris Texas who together call themselves Glass Roots. Yes it’s an older release from 2020 but as it’s on Triplicate records it means that it’s Name Your Price on Bandcamp. Which suits my unimployed world. Anyway the track is a stomping Idm piece titled “Panther Loud” from the album “The Idiot”. Go grab it for as little as you can.
Then a dose of slapped bass in a wonderful track titled “Sea Change” by friend of the shows Emily Sobool, aka Socool who has teamed up with Paul Griffin and released a collection of tunes under the name “Dreams & Riddles”
Next, another team up with Elizabeth Joan Kelly aka Orca and David Rodriguez aka Attack! with a highly original piece titled “Grass In The Moonlight” which is a great name so I think I’ll title this episode after it. It’s from a release out on the Mortality Tables label called, yes “Grass In The Moonlight”.
This will be followed by, would you believe it?, another duo in the form of Ali O’May and Frazer Brown as Dohnavùr and a captivating synth adventure titled “Flowers In The Barrel” from their latest release “We Owe Each Other Everything” which you can get on vinyl from that Castles In Space that’s in everyones library.
After that, not a another duo, o no, a Leeds based act of unknown numbers. Active between 1993-1994 called Adel Music Club. You’ll be treated to some sweet drum breaks and bongos or highly tuned congas in the track titled “Break Beats Nothing” from the release called “Golden Acres” out on the channel supporting FRBH Recordings.
Closing Side A is of course another duo. A name all of you know and are probably a bit tired of after this release. It is of course Boards of Canada with the wonderfully wobbly track “Deep Time” from their latest gem “Inferno”. That’s on vinyl in my collection and is available through Warp Records.
But first, to set the vibe: Glass Roots and Panther Loud.
Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us.
One side flip. Just the music.
Side B
Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting.
You’ll hear a founder of Triplicate Records, Mr. Michael Southard aka Time Rival and an exclusive, I dare say, from his Bandcamp subscription library titled “Rush Up” from the album “stay safe out there“ which has an official release on the 2nd of October.
Then, speaking of Triplicate Records and their amazing back catalogue I’m playing Belial Pelegrim and an enchanting track titled “Circle of Liquid Ambers”. from the 2020 album “Torus”.
Next. No episode of TVCL would be complete without a dose of modular tweakings. We head to another channel supporting label Paris based Hylé Tapes and the artist Aurel Val with the track “Grid’s End” from the album “Mods-1”. Go grab one of the 7 remaining cassettes on Hylé Tapes.
Near the end we travel to Genoa, Italy with a downtempo summer vibe piece by artist Brioskj titled “Digital Meditation” from the EP The Persuaders! And that’s another Name Your Price release from Finlands finest label: Kahvi Collective.
And finally, a real exclusive track from a true friend of the show. A gentleman fond of words and espicially dialects. Mr. Graham Thorpe who of course is better know as gribbles at least for now. Keep an eye out for upcoming stuff in his own name. Anyway I’m playing a Lemon Jelly flavoured track titled “Owd Roa (Part)” from an upcoming release titled “Agatewards” dropping on boutique label Yellowbelly Records on the 4th of September. Keep an eye out for that.
But first, another exclusive, that makes three for this episode! That deserves a subscription from someone out there does it not?
Anyway, this is an amazing piece of audio art by Imogen Haley Baker who calls herself Enofa, and a rather haunted track titled “The Wormery” from an album called “Small Modernist House in Woodland Setting” which was sent to me by the wonderful Dan Seville, who runs the equally wonderful Subexotic Records. That will be released on double LP black vinyl from the 14th of August. According to the blurb for this release, Imogen made close to a hundred different pieces of music. A lot of htem, she says, will probably stay on her hard drive for decades. Well if you’re listening Imogen, yoou could enter one in for my quiet figures compilation.
Anyway
Enjoy…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 142
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.
