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.

AptaTrial – 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 GuidesMerseytravel – 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 PrimeClosing 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 FrischaufWunder – 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. PärkSynthetic 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 EssePelle 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 SintéticoLa 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 CoolKAsStargazing – 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 StrandsWe 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 SetSearch 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 ShadowsMALCONTENT – 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 AudioProgram 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 MercatanteDetector – 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.

AlbinHammenhög – 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 MantecaTuareg 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 YaaryO7 – 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 MaloneWe 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.

08 March 2026

///notes.seaweed.rashers

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 184, 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 notes.seaweed.rashers and is the geolocation of a rather good Sushi joint in Bromma Stockholm, Takumi Ramen & Sushi, which serves Burrito sushi rolls. Anyway, These episodes drop about three times a week with no fixed schedule—just pure passion for independent music. So do follow the Mixcloud page and the socials to stay up to date. Picture yourself settling into a cozy nook overlooking a misty ocean, cassette player in hand, as we embark on this auditory journey. Kicking things off with Dune by Atabasca from the album of the same name, out on Killer Groove Records, released March 27, 2026.

Capturing the raw symphony of nature in a way that feels alive and immersive, blending field sounds into an organic tapestry. I envision the dense canopy of ancient trees parting to reveal hidden streams, drawing us deeper into the heart of a vibrant wilderness.

That was Liboi and The rainforest (Central African Republic). If you’re not into all the talk between the tracks there is the option of subscribing for less than a cup of coffee on a monthly basis.

Imagine stepping inward through a portal of echoing tones, where transit begins in rhythmic pulse. Closing this side with In by DaFou from the album Berlin Transit [CYD 0151] on Cyclical Dreams, released February 13, 2026. This extended Berlin School-inspired journey pulses with synthesizer depth, evoking endless urban motion.

Flipping to the B Side now—Starting strong with 2 Notes by Kwils from the album Commemorative Compilation (ST100A) on Secuencias Temporales, released March 2, 2026.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 182

04 March 2026

///situated.bike.guides

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Greetings ye combers of the sound waves and welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library, episode 182. I’m Trevor and I’ll be gently guiding you through twenty artists and their musical endeavours tonight. If you’re new here, welcome; otherwise, welcome back.
A quick shout out to the latest followers: Tiago Catarino who may or may not be into Lego, Rohima Afruza who is a Brighton-based DJ, and foremanmonique from New Mexico, United States. Thanks guys—you keep the signal strong.
This episode has set a new record for the channel: Six exclusive tracks at the time of recording. My handful of subscribers are some of the few souls on the planet who have heard these yet. How? I’ve started dropping music-only preview mixes of the shows before the chat version hits the air—that’s the secret handshake.
The exclusives come from Swimming Lesson, TOMC, The Metamorph, Martin Archer & Claire McAllister, Isograph (who is actually the same artist behind Swimming Lesson), and Oberlin. Who else joins the lineup? You’ll just have to settle in and listen.
Let’s ease into the flow.

We start the episode with the first exclusive which was actually released back in October on the Castles In Space Subscription Library so a few of you will know this one by Darryl Wakelin here as one of his alter egos *Swimming Lesson. This is A Penchant for Experiments from the album Home Electronics
Picture a dimly lit garage in a 1970s suburb, fairy lights strung across shelves of salvaged radios and half-built circuit boards, the faint glow of a soldering iron as tiny sparks dance like fireflies in the dusk.

And now the best thing that’s ever happened to this channel Mr. Gareth Evans aka HDRF. His support and above all his direct action on my request for sending in his story for the new show Chord Confessions. In fact the previous artist Swimming Lesson and other artists I’ve played are a direct result of Gareths passion and action in the community.
HDRF – Everybody Melts (for Miquette)
from the album Ephemerama 1 (self-released via HDRF’s Bandcamp)
A slow dissolve of coloured wax under heat, pooling into soft iridescent shapes on a windowsill as afternoon light filters through rain-streaked glass, everything quietly surrendering to warmth.

Solar 76 – Arctan
from the album Sun Angle on Castle In Spaces’ Lunar Module imprint.
Late golden hour on a coastal cliff path, the sun hanging low and casting long geometric shadows across concrete sea defences, waves below folding in perfect mathematical curves. A very different, yet familiar release from the label. Get your House moves on.

Now most of the music I play on the show is either NYP releases, or sent in by the artists or by the labels. This next track is the latter.
*TOMC – You Are Balearic
from the album Blue Era Odyssey. Releasing via channel champion Mystery Circles on the 3 of March.
Open-top car cruising a winding island road at twilight, salt air rushing past, palm fronds silhouetted against a sky bleeding from azure to deep indigo, distant lights beginning to wink on.

Now another track from the outstanding and highly original label Cities and Memory.
Neil Foster – Yeyi (Central African Republic)
from the album A Century of Sounds. This track is from the NYP version on Bandcamp and one of the 100 pieces chosen for this 13 track release.
Dense rainforest canopy parting just enough for shafts of sunlight to hit moss-covered earth, the air thick with calls of unseen birds and the low rhythmic pulse of life moving unseen.

Gustavo Denouard – Whispers
from the album Echoes of the Cosmos on Projekt Records
Vast empty observatory dome at night, telescope lens reflecting a scattering of stars, faint cosmic radio static crackling like whispers from galaxies long ago.

Now another great friend of the show, Gavin Brick aka The Metamorph. This is the third exclusive for the episode. Gavin has received the physical CDs for his upcoming release From Cobalt to Aquamarine. I’ve always loved Gavin music and this sees a bit of a change in direction. It’s more introspective and is quickly becoming a favourite on repeat around the house. I believe this will be the first release from his new studio in Liverpool. Keep your eye on his Bandcamp page for the official release date.
*The Metamorph – Cobalt
Deep underwater cave lit only by bioluminescent streaks of electric blue, slow currents carrying flecks of mineral that catch the light like floating sapphires.

Next the fourth exclusive of the show.
*Martin Archer & Claire McAllister – Underground
from the album Mast Year dropping on the Discus Music label on the 27th of March. There are loads of names to look forward to on this collage style release.
Dimly lit subway tunnel after hours, Claires floating improvised vocals and gentle jazz phrasings will take you underground.

Now let’s get industrial with some sub bass foundation. The penultimate track of this first half.
Wahn – A Place Slightly Wrong
from the album Echo Mist Light on the Mahorka label.
Fog rolling across an abandoned industrial yard at dawn, rusted machinery half-submerged in mist, everything familiar yet shifted just a degree out of alignment.

We end the A side with Corvid One Cassette – REST
from the album Two on a label to keep you radar tuned to, Black Pylon. A Cassette label curated by Lee Pylon and Nicholas Langley.
A single raven perched on a cracked cassette tape case in an empty room, feathers ruffled by a draught from an open window, the world outside hushed.

B Side –

We open this half with the living legend, Hainbach – BTM Blau
from the album Tagwerk on Spanish label, Industrial Complexx.
Analogue workbench at midnight, the Crumar DS-2, an early Italian synthesiser, pulsing gently as if the machine itself is dreaming.

Now Bruce Magill aka Low Altitude – Dan Y Wernen
from the whitelabrecs compilation masterpiece Shades
Welsh hillside at dusk, ancient stone wall curving into mist, wind carrying faint echoes of folk memory across heather and gorse.

Next I get to play one of my own pieces as no-one else will. In the intro, outro and scattered through each episode I create background soundscapes. When I’ve created 16 episodes I release them as an album. The three word titles of each piece are also geotags for spots on the planet that I have some sort of personal connection with. For example the title of this episode and the background you’re listening to now is situated.bike.guides which is the geographical location of the entrance to Omnipollos Church in Sundbyberg Stockholm. A Brewery and bar, creating some of the best craft beer on the planet. The title of this track is from the patch of grass outside my apartment. Enter any of the track titles from my albums and you can virtually stalk me. Anyway this is me, Trevlad – Hits Enjoyable Amended
from the album TVCL-09
Old mixing desk in a cosy attic studio, faders worn smooth from years of use, fairy lights twinkling above stacks of cassettes like a private constellation.

Now a release right up my alley. I love this sound, it reminds me of the 70s Canterbury sound of Dave Stewart. Passepartout Duo – From Tbilisi
from the album Pieces from Places
Narrow cobblestone street in old Tbilisi at golden hour, balcony flowers spilling over iron railings, distant church bells mingling with street musicians.

Now the fifth exclusive track from *Isograph – The Telling of the Bees
[same artist as Swimming Lesson, keeping traditions alive in sound]
Traditional beehive in a quiet garden at sunrise, bees humming in low golden light, keeper in veil gently lifting a frame, the hive whispering ancient secrets. This is from the first Isograph release which will see light of day later in the year. Here’s what Darryl told me about the track. “The telling of the bees is an old tradition from when lots of rural families kept a beehive for honey, propolis, etc. They would tell the bees about family news (births, deaths, etc.), which I think is just a beautiful thing to do, making the bees part of the family. The track is about all sides of that – the family news, and then at the scale of the bees hearing the news, and the whole thing is an attempt to reflect the lovely connection/regard for nature in this idea.” Cheer for that.

Now another artist I could probably contact for a coffee if I ever was in Edinburgh. Exit Chamber – We Can Get There Simply By Surviving (Previously Unreleased)
from the album The Passed Year 2025 on a global collective of artists known as Passed Recordings. The Bandcamp page says they’re based in Uppsala Sweden but I haven’t figured out what the connection is. Anyway,
Cracked pavement after rain, small green shoot pushing through concrete, resilient and quiet, the city noise fading into a hopeful hush.

Next described as being constructed to elicit feelings of calm, to unearth hazy memories of early innocence, and to lure the chaotic mind into the woods of sleep.
Glass Hive – Mother Of Many
from the album Glass Hive EP
Hive mind of glass shards catching light in a sunlit room, reflections multiplying endlessly, fragile yet infinite.

Now the sixth exclusive which will see light of day on 6 March.
*Oberlin – Never Take It For Granted
from the album The Gold Pit Sessions Vol. 2 out on German label oscarson.
Open window on a spring morning, curtains billowing softly, sounds drifting in with the scent of fresh earth, everything ordinary and miraculous.

Next an all time favourite artist of mine. The penultimate track of the show. Sébastien Tellier – Un Dimanche en Famille
from the album Kiss the Beast
Lazy Sunday table in a sun-dappled kitchen, half-eaten croissants, laughter echoing off tiled walls, time stretching elastic and warm. Available through Because Music & Horizons.

And that’s episode 182 wrapped in a bow of tape and wonder. Thanks for riding along on this sonic journey with its metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe.
Want to be part of the transmission? Send your vibrations to trevlad@gmail.com. Purchase paths are always illuminated at trevor.se and marked in the timeline of each show.
To send us home hailing from, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lorna Dune – Alverno
from the EP Mosfet
Mountain trail winding upward through pine and mist, sudden clearing revealing a vast alpine valley below, the air crisp with possibility. A self released Minimal House gem.
Until the next drop appears without warning… keep searching the dial. Cheerio…

Welcome to Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode 181, broadcasting from the enigmatic coordinates of Stockholm Sweden. ///prickly.solved.sweated, is the episodes subtitle. This is also a coordinate where shadows stretch long over Stigbergs Fot, a wonderful Stockholm craft beer joint I highly recommend. It’s a crisp February 27, 2026 here.

From the album Zero Movement out on Cyclical Dreams. So headphones on, let time dissolve and let the frequencies claim you.…

Next Tornado Wallace summons Asahi Ga Yondeiru featuring Courtney Bailey, like dawn rays piercing misty rice fields, steam rising from dew-kissed leaves in a serene call to awaken. Fist pumping electronica here. From the EP Left At Sunset, out on the Running Back label.

Now, Consumed Triumphant & Pavel Blumkin ignite Invisible Fire, flames dancing unseen in a dense forest at midnight, embers glowing through fog-shrouded branches. From the conceptual EP The Chariot.

Now, Shrimpnose lifts us to Hovering, clouds parting over a floating city, gentle drifts in an aerial ballet of soft geometries. From the album Aureolin Winter out on La’s Friends Of Friends label.

The penultimate track for this side of the virtual cassette. Kavalcade unleashes DECAY 01, rusted machinery grinding in an abandoned factory, sparks flying from corroded gears under flickering neon. From the EP SIGNAL which drops May 1 on Machine Records.

We end the first half with Philippe Petit who drapes Tropicalism in an Empire wardrobe, velvet curtains parting on a colonial ballroom overgrown with vines, exotic blooms tangling with faded grandeur. The shortest piece at only 49 seconds. From the album The Acoustic Cornet, an hommage to Leonora Carrington out on Mahorka.

Flipping to the B side, Nadia Struiwigh modulates MOD1, circuit boards humming in a sterile lab, pulses syncing like neural fireworks in chrome reflections. From a compilation I’ve played extensively on the channel, connected #3, from the great label i u we records.

Next, a show exclusive. The Eyes and the Mistoids trail Snails That Failed, slimy paths glistening on rain-slicked garden stones, slow spirals unraveling under overcast skies. From the album The Beware Gallery which will drop on March 20 on Waxing Crescent Records.

Now, Brass Clouds, Fog Net, & Volcanic Pinnacles plunge into Subduction, tectonic plates shifting beneath ocean depths, bubbles rising from volcanic vents in abyssal gloom. From the album Dive 2: Sonoluminescence out on Bathysphere Records.

Coming up, Erik Wøllo charts North Trek, snow-capped peaks piercing arctic twilight, auroras weaving ribbons across frozen expanses. From the album, Snow Tides. Yet another NYP release from Projekt Records.

Next, Helyg Weidenbach erects Dream Scaffold I, ethereal ladders climbing into cloud realms, mist-shrouded rungs leading to surreal vistas. From the album, Traumgerüst, also a NYP album courtesy of The Dream Journal Institute.

Now, Amanda Whiting wanders Mary Over There, a foggy meadow at dusk, wildflowers nodding in the haze of distant horizons. Most recently released on the NYP compilation album Two Syllables Volume Twenty Two. Released by First Word Records.

Next, Louis Sarno captures Bayaka women singing yeyi in the forest (Central African Republic), ancient trees canopying harmonious calls, leaves rustling in rhythmic unity with hidden streams. From the compilation A Century of Sounds out on Cities and Memory.

Now, Japanese artist Yasutaka Sato aka Virgo blooms Zoophyte, underwater gardens swaying in currents, coral tendrils unfurling like living sculptures in turquoise light. From the album, Roots of Memories (Remastered- Deluxe Edition), out on Neo Ouija.

Next we switch it up. Psyché brews another exclusive track, Yagé, jungle vines twisting around a ceremonial fire, visions flickering in the smoke of ritual embers. From the album Psyché II dropping on Four Flies Records on March 20.

And we’ve reached the final track. Thanks for sticking around for this virtual mix show, twenty artists lighting up the unknown. No rigid timetable, just raw devotion to the waves. Subscribe for anytime access, including babble-free mixes. Drop your sounds at trevlad@gmail.com, and trace the trails at trevor.se.
And finally The Gaye Device flows with Ebb And Flow, tidal pools reflecting shifting skies, waves lapping at barnacle-encrusted rocks in perpetual motion. From couple of places, the latest being, the Sounds for the Soul label compilation – Ocean Compilation 2.

///bank.snow.turkeys

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 180—your flickering beacon in the haze, where forgotten reels spin secrets and new ghosts whisper through the virtual cassette heads.
We pause the fast-forward and let time stretch thin: imagine a single worn cassette shell cracked open on a sun-bleached dashboard at dusk, magnetic tape spilling like ribbon across cracked leather seats. Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, for the sonically adventurous, wherever it finds you.
You’ve hit play so, let the tape hiss, and drift with us through these captured breaths.
Subscribe to the channel to hear these shows whenever you please. Subscribers also get mix versions of the episodes without all my babbling.
Just a quick shout out to the latest followers Edge Effect who you should check out on Bandcamp and fellow Irish person A New Forest who is a resident DJ on Dublin Digital Radio. Also a new subscriber that has me dangling in the edge of the channel getting a payout from Mixcloud imilleryes

We open with the song Sunshine Grove by SubDan. Golden afternoon light spilling through leaves onto a quiet wooden porch swing, where acid-tinged synths ripple like warm breezes and gentle breakbeat grooves sway in lazy contentment, capturing pure, unhurried joy suspended forever in a glowing breath.
This is Sunshine Grove by SubDan from the album Moments of Joy out on Nottingham, UK’s Remnants label.

Now, The track time, running away from you by HUNGER A lone figure standing motionless on an empty midnight highway as the taillights of a departing car stretch into vanishing red threads, while slow, decaying synth drones and fractured rhythmic pulses chase each other in futile pursuit, freezing the ache of irreversible loss in a single, elongating breath of experimental electronic melancholy.
This is HUNGER with the track time, running away from you from the album declined out on Leipzig, Germany’s Adventurous Music

Next, The track Tripping Soldiers 2 by Dark Fidelity Hi Fi (from Bricolage’s underground Glasgow electronic label) A squad of spectral soldiers marching in slow, hallucinatory lockstep through a fog-choked, neon-lit alley at 3 a.m., their boots echoing into warped, stuttering breaks and gritty, acid-flecked synth stabs that bend reality like melting film reels, freezing the surreal vertigo of a chemically unraveling night patrol in a single, looping breath of shadowy, tripped-out dubbed melancholy.
This is Tripping Soldiers 2 by Dark Fidelity Hi Fi from a couple of places one of them being Bricolage’s Paradigm (10 Year Label Sampler)

Now Akira Film Script, Graham Seaman, Mosaicist, Percolator and Justin Amphlett – This Burnished Land
The collaborative expanse of This Burnished Land A vast, sun-scorched prairie at golden hour where ancient mosaic fragments embedded in cracked earth glow like buried memories, while layered drones and subtle field-recorded winds weave a slow, collective breath of timeless, burnished serenity suspended in amber light.
This Burnished Land by Akira Film Script, Graham Seaman, Mosaicist, Percolator and Justin Amphlett from the, must have, compilation album This Burnished Land out on whitelabrecs

Next aug16 by ff8282 A deserted summer rooftop at dusk in late August, empty cassette tapes scattered like fallen leaves as faint, lo-fi synth pulses and fragmented tape warbles drift upward into a fading orange sky, capturing the quiet, nostalgic drift of a single fleeting day dissolving into static eternity.
From the stable of 4000 Records label ff8282 and the track aug16 from the album No Statue.

“A Wound Kisser by Dunya A dimly lit apartment at midnight, where soft ambient tendrils curl like gentle fingers tracing an old scar on pale skin, the slow-healing ache blooming into hushed, shimmering layers of forgiveness frozen in an intimate exhale of wounded light.
From Vilnius, Lithuania’s Amulet of Tears label I give you Dunya with A Wound Kisser from the album **Pay It Forward
**.

**Take Me There – Totte (a reflection on childhood) originally from the album *Nine Reflections: Music For Cats*
“Totte (a reflection on childhood)” A sun-dappled backyard sandbox long abandoned, where a child’s forgotten toy cat sits amid drifting dandelion seeds and gentle, nostalgic drones that lap like warm summer memories against the porch steps, freezing the soft pang of innocence receding into quiet feline contemplation.
This is Totte (a reflection on childhood) by Take Me There from a fantastic, and recommended, compilation The Passed Year 2025 out on Passed Recordings.

Land of the Endless by joe nora An unbroken horizon of rolling golden dunes under a perpetual twilight, where sparse, piano motifs and subtle string horizons stretch outward forever, locking the serene vertigo of boundless solitude in an unresolving breath of eternal drift.
This is Land of the Endless by Joe Nora from the album Puzzle Face available through Los Angeles, California’s Friends Of Friends label.

uami step by raays A bioluminescent jungle clearing at cosmic dawn, where shimmering synth pads and off-kilter jazz-inflected beats pulse like fireflies in slow-motion syncopation, freezing the euphoric fusion of earthly roots and weightless space jungle levitation in glowing stride.
This is raays with uami step from the EP Plaays out on LEAVING RECORDS.

desert ambient by applecore A lone saguaro silhouette against a blood-orange sunset over endless sand, where minimal, heat-warped drones and distant wind howls ripple like mirages across cracked earth, capturing the austere, meditative vastness of isolation distilled into scorching breath.
applecore with desert ambient from the album contact at the deep bottom out on Bulgaria’s Mahorka label.

We end the first half and first side of this virtual cassette with Monolit K by Gelbart A colossal black obelisk rising from cracked concrete in an abandoned Eastern European industrial yard at dawn, its surface humming with deep, resonant modular synth throbs and metallic echoes that reverberate into infinity, freezing the enigmatic weight of forgotten futures in an unyielding pulse.
Gelbart with Monolit K from the album Gelbart-TK-745 out on Berlin, Germany’s Kitchen Leg records. Catch you on the flip side.

Starting us off this half
“Transmission 18 by Wojciech Golczewski A derelict satellite dish pointed skyward in a snowy midnight field, receiving faint, crackling cosmic signals through swelling retro-synth waves and distant static bursts, suspending the lonely vigil of interstellar longing in a glacial sweep.
Wojciech Golczewski with Transmission 18 from the album End Of Transmission 3 available through Marseille, France’s Data Airlines label.

Väntan by Gustav Davidsson Frost-covered birch trees standing silent along a frozen Swedish lake at first light, where sparse, glacial ambient tones and soft harmonic swells drift like breath on glass, freezing the quiet anticipation of spring’s distant promise in a crystalline pause.
This is Gustav Davidsson with Väntan from another great whitelbrecs compilation celebrating their 10-year anniversary Shades.

Pollinator Project Pt. 4 – Entomophily by Loopatronica. A sunlit wildflower meadow alive with bees in ecstatic slow-motion orbit, their wings blurring into intricate looping rhythms and organic electronic pulses that hum in symbiotic harmony, locking the vibrant dance of pollination into a nectar-drenched view.
This is Loopatronica with Pollinator Project Pt. 4 – Entomophily from the album Pollinator Project out on Moolakii Club Audio Interface.

This is Djrum with Let Me from the albumUnder Tangled Silence out on London, UK’s Houndstooth label.

Movement Implies Convergence by Substak + LR Friberg Converging railway tracks vanishing into a misty horizon at twilight, where pulsing modular sequences and converging field drones pull forward in relentless gravity, freezing the philosophical inevitability of paths uniting in a forward-leaning flow.
Substak + LR Friberg with Movement Implies Convergence from the album The White Between Words another great release from the Mahorka label.

Blanket Song by Kikagaku Moyo A threadbare wool blanket spread under stars on a summer hillside, where psych-folk guitars wrap around soft, wandering melodies like shared warmth, capturing the simple comfort of stargazing companionship in an enveloping sigh.

This is Dolphins of Venice with Office Olympics from the album Captains of Industry another great Mahorka label release.

The penultimate track of the show now. Sub-Aura (2025 Remaster) by Ian Boddy & Chris Carter Underwater aurora lights shimmering through deep ocean currents at midnight, where vintage analog modular synth waves undulate in slow, hypnotic layers, locking the submerged glow of hidden electromagnetic realms in a breath of cosmic tranquility.

So just one track to go and, before you do go, I need you to send me your stories for the Chord Confessions series. I need a song or piece of music that has meant something special to you for some reason. I’ll play the music and say nice things about you and tell your tale on the airwaves.

Spontaneous Reduction by Hverheij A falling snowflake caught mid-descent in a vast white void, where sparse, reductive tones and micro-shifts in texture gradually simplify into near-silence, capturing the elegant inevitability of everything distilling to essence in a vanishing exhale.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178

15 February 2026

///totally.ears.caring

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
A sonic journey with a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
We float tonight through drifts of ambient electronic, modular wanderings, dubwise echoes, some art rock angles, leftfield pop inflections, drone undertows, and the odd burst of experimental pop. Places flicker by: Wormhole World gatherings, Republic of Music corners, Castles in Space haunts, Invisible Inc. pathways, Four Flies shadows, and points scattered from Lancashire to Vilnius, Munich to Mexico City.
The longest stretch in the selection comes from Caught in Joy – Elsewhere, a patient unravelling that lingers in the mind. The shortest snaps past in a flash with Allmanna Town – Sample 24, not even reaching the minute mark.
We begin with Dubberrookie and Winter Weather, a seasonal drift from A Wormhole Xmas 2025 on Wormhole World. Chilled dub pulses meet wintry synth haze, gentle echoes folding into themselves like snow settling on rooftops.
Headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the frequencies claim you.

Dubberrookie – Winter Weather. Dubberrookie will appear on my upcoming compilation “Puzzles of the Psyche”. There’s still time. Send in your entries by March 25.
Now Floating Points with Precursor, the bonus unreleased cut from the Elaenia 10 Year Anniversary on the Republic of Music label. Sparse piano gestures meet subtle electronic undercurrents, a quiet prelude that breathes slow and deliberate.

Floating Points – Precursor.
Next up Bahia Brazil based artist – Navin Kala offers Vijf from Spinoza on a favourite label of the show Mystery Circles. Minimalist piano lines trace thoughtful paths, space around each note allowing contemplation to gather.

Navin Kala – Vijf. A reminder now if you have a piece of music that has meant a lot to you for some reason tell me about it. I’m putting together a new show called “Chord Confessions” and I need some tales behind the most important music ever released. PM me on the socials or email me trevlad@gmail.com Now back to the show.
Now amping up the drone. Stewart Keller brings Disheveled Zen from the whopping 100 track 2020-2025 Archives. Loosened field recordings and soft electronics tangle in a relaxed, almost accidental calm.

Stewart Keller – Disheveled Zen.
Here’s me Trevlad with Curving Archive Scales from the Trick or Treat 4 compilation on Sounds for the Soul. Archive dust and curving scales weave a long, meditative thread, time marked in subtle modular shifts.

Trevlad – Curving Archive Scales. Just a quick shout out to the latest followers Bernt Haas, who I believe is part of the Cries from the LTN outfit. Also Liquid Shape and The Tall Librarian. Thanks for the follow.
Now Mexico City based artists Eafhm and Mwamwa collaborate on Luzne (Mwamwa Part) from the split release on Secuencias Temporales. Dubby bass hums beneath fragmented vocal traces, a hazy half-step wander.

Eafhm, Mwamwa – Luzne (Mwamwa Part).
And now for something completely different. Deerhoof deliver L’Amour Stories from Apple O’ on Joyful Noise Recordings. Quick, angular art rock bursts with playful yelps and tight rhythmic jabs.

Deerhoof – L’Amour Stories.
Garda slips in Substratum from S-Lyga on the Neotantra label. Deep drone layers build slow atmospheric weight, substratum textures rumbling low.

Garda – Substratum.
Now time to punk it up. Tinned Meats present Caught in the Wild from Kilter on I Heart Noise. Raw edges meet noisy propulsion, caught somewhere between garage grit and wilder impulses. Mad stuff…

Tinned Meats – Caught in the Wild.
And now Keith Seatman with Tonight’s Guests Are? from the forthcoming Counting to Ten Then Back Again on Castles in Space. Radiophonic quirks and psych-folk fragments evoke childhood games and firework packaging memories, playful yet oddly disorienting.
Keith Seatman – Tonight’s Guests Are?

The Polish legend of Coconut Creek, Caught in Joy closes Side A with Elsewhere.
Karol is the most prolific Berlin school artist on the planet. He produces so much quality music on a weekly basis. Which he records live and can be witnessed on his Youtube channel. Analogue drooling adventures. The track Elsewhere is from the release Colorfield. Self released back in mid December. Karol has released 4 albums since then just for some perspective. This is Analogue coloured space drifts to close out the first side of the show.

Side B
We turn the cassette. If you have something you want featured on the shows lease don’t be shy. I’m not on a schedule which means I get to do shows several times a week, which means you won’t have to wait long to hear your music here. Here’s a label that does just that from the fantastic Italian label Four Flies Records. Chiaré opens with Ago e Filo from the album Sei. Italian library echoes meet modern restraint, strings and subtle grooves threading through.

Chiaré – Ago e Filo.
Now LOULA YORKE shares The Hidden Messages in Water (Live at the Mount Without) from Live Compendium 2 on Truxalis. Live-captured modular meditations unfold with quiet intensity, water-like ripples expanding.

LOULA YORKE – The Hidden Messages in Water (Live at the Mount Without).
Next another artist who has contributed in the past to my compilations the fantastic The Music Liberation Front Sweden who arrive with A Lot Of Things Ain’t Changing from their collection on Third Kind Records. Warped pop edges bend familiar shapes into something skewed and resilient.

The Music Liberation Front Sweden – A Lot Of Things Ain’t Changing.
And Now Higamos Hogamos rework Re-Exit (GK Machine Dub Voyager) from Voyager Dubs on Glasgows Invisible, Inc. Deep dub transformations stretch the original into cavernous space.

Higamos Hogamos – Re-Exit (GK Machine Dub Voyager).
Francesca Guccione offers Mechanical Promenade from Connected 3 on IUWE Records. Mechanical rhythms promenade alongside delicate electric piano, a poised mechanical dance. A wonderful must have compilation celebrating 9 of the best female experimental electronic out there. In fact the entire label focuses on the beauty of female diversity in electronic music. Enjoy.

Francesca Guccione – Mechanical Promenade.
Komodo Kolektif follow with Disciple Of The Drone (GK Machine Disciple Of The Dub) also from that Voyager Dubs compilation on Invisible, Inc. Drone devotion meets dub disciple rites, heavy and hypnotic. Invisible, Inc. is a label I wish I could play more of on the channel, and just can’t for financial reasons. They are great so if you can grab some of their beautiful physical releases.

Komodo Kolektif – Disciple Of The Drone (GK Machine Disciple Of The Dub).
Now friend of the show Russian artist Ndorfik contributes Tahvi from Solos on People Can Listen. 5/8 Idm explorations carve sparse, introspective paths. Ndorfik has enlightened me on the fact that Mixcloud is not available without streaming through VPNs in his neck of the woods. So I send him the files of past shows so he can spread the good word.

Ndorfik – Tahvi.
Now the penultimate track and two masters of the ambient scene. Rhucle & Arbee bring Mournful Sky from Plain on David Cordero curated label Noray Records. Mournful ambient skies drift with gentle melancholy, field-like textures breathing slow.

Rhucle & Arbee – Mournful Sky.
Material for future shows is always welcome. Send your vibrations to trevlad@gmail.com. Purchase paths glow at trevor.se and in each show’s timeline.
Until the next cassette turns.
Trevor, signing off from Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178.
I leave you with the very short track Sample 24 by Allmanna Town Allmanna Town is Phil Dodds who runs the amazing Waxing Crescent Records and my fellow Stockholm dweller Jonas Geiger Ohlin of The New Emphatic fame. this track is from Rodents out on their own Bandcamp imprint. Sampled fragments glitch and reform in rodent-quick bursts.
And that fades us out. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 177

08 February 2026

///retrial.twinge.memo

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve managed to carve out for yourself. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-seven. I’m Trevor, sitting here with a stack of tapes that feel heavier than they ought to, and a vague sense that the world outside might have moved on without telling us.

We’re dealing with a virtual cassette, two sides as tradition demands, twenty artists in total, the kind of selection that drifts between ambient drifts, darkwave edges, neoclassical touches, drone meditations, some post-rock undercurrents, a bit of hauntology perhaps, and the occasional flicker of something more abstract or collage-like. Places crop up too: London, Barcelona, Cheltenham, Stroud, Berlin, Hamburg, Manchester, Glasgow, a scattering across North Carolina, Portland, Vancouver, Toronto, even the Bahamas and Tallinn. The map doesn’t stay still.

The longest track we’ll hear is “Lost in the Morning” by On Idyl, stretching out across the open air like it has nowhere else to be. The shortest is “Heartspace” by Heaven Topology, brief enough to feel like a held breath.

Just before we dive in I need your help with a new show I’m putting together. I need stories about music that changed something in your life. A direction, a decision, a realisation. It’ll be the most important music of all time while I promote you as a fan, artist, label curator, mum, dad, whatever you like. If you don’t have a story which is highly unlikely maybe you know of someone who does. Let’s make something special together.

Now back to the show. Side A begins with a couple of exclusive tracks to catch your interest.

First, from Lo Recordings, Haiku Salut & Meg Morley with “Laugh and cricket” – a delicate weave of piano and field recordings that evokes summer evenings where insects compete with human laughter, gentle and unhurried. from the upcoming album – The Lost Score – dropping on Lo Recordings on 27 march.

Haiku Salut & Meg Morley – Laugh and cricket.

Next that other exclusive. f5point6, on See Blue Audio, “432 Hz (Remastered)” – tuned to that frequency people chase for calm, layered synths unfolding slowly, remastered to let the harmonics breathe properly. 432 Hz from the album retrospect with drops on the 13 Feb.

f5point6 – 432 Hz (Remastered).

Time Rival now, “Deleter” from the 45 track Murmurs in the Mist compilation which I released back in November. Don’t forget to get your entries in for the next outing before the end of March. Anyway This is Time Rivals Deleter – a quiet deletion of boundaries, soft electronics that erase the line between memory and the present.

Time Rival – Deleter.

NOUVELLES LECTURES COSMOPOLITES with “La chute des dominos” from Jaculus Jaculus ou neuf instantanés pittoresques de la vie trépidante de la gerboise des steppes Jaculus jaculus or nine picturesque snapshots of the hectic life of the desert jerboa– tumbling motifs, playful yet precise, like dominoes falling in a French steppe wind.

NOUVELLES LECTURES COSMOPOLITES – La chute des dominos.

Now here’s that piece you could easily hold a breath to. Heaven Topology, “Heartspace” from Describer on Ingrown Records.– interior spaces opening outward, warm tones suggesting a place where the heart expands without apology. A very underrated release from last August.

Heaven Topology – Heartspace.

Now we’re off to the Bahamas which is not often on the show. pjpriiincess, “my teeth crush bones” – from the NYP album my teeth crack diamonds my teeth crush bones.
raw, visceral, crunching through the surface into something primal and glittering.

pjpriiincess – my teeth crush bones.

Now a friend of the show. and one of the longer pieces this episode. Masefield Labs, “Station Keeping” from his latest album Shaded Escapes released just a few days ago. Big thank you John for the mention in the album notes. holding position in shifting currents, steady pulses beneath drifting layers.

Masefield Labs – Station Keeping.

zerosummer is the alter ego of Paolo Taviano, Italian musician. Here he is with “Nebula” from The Blue Hours on the wonderful Driftworks label. – cosmic drift, haze of stars forming and dissolving in slow motion.

zerosummer – Nebula.

Next a fantastic label that I do hope you’re all supporting. Uppsala, Sweden based, Passed Records. This next track and two more on the B side are from NYP compilations of artists they’ve released in 2025 so go get them now. G!GA LURGH, “Ambient Jam #1 (Previously YouTube Exclusive)” from The Passed Year 2025 on Passed Recordings – loose, exploratory, the kind of jam that happened once and lingers.

G!GA LURGH – Ambient Jam #1 (Previously YouTube Exclusive).

The penultimate track on side a from three artists who are fantastic in they’re own realms and just as great combined. Bahrambient, Retland, Kilometre Club with “Under Open Skies” from Cloud Paths – vast skies, gentle progression, open and unconfined in a small package.

Bahrambient, Retland, Kilometre Club – Under Open Skies.

And closing Side A, and a track that closes the compilation release it came from. Emanuele Errante, “Permanent Sunset” from Islas Calm Cloud, on whitelabrecs – eternal dusk, warm glow that refuses to fade completely.

Emanuele Errante – Permanent Sunset.

virtual tape flip

Side B, then.

Now a piece of my own. Trevlad now, “Glare Belonged Reaction” from TVCL-07 – reaction to too much light, refracted and softened.

Trevlad – Glare Belonged Reaction.

Next from the outstanding Hamburg based label Bureau B. Kreidler, “Im Betrieb (IV)” from Early Recordings 1994-95 – mechanical yet human, rhythms from the factory floor turned inward.

Kreidler – Im Betrieb (IV).

This next track has its own music video which if you like jelly you should check out. Crank up the volume and massage those neck muscles with Clark, “Civilians” from Steep Stims – everyday lives caught in electronic undertow, subtle distortions.

Clark – Civilians.

Pandacetamol, “Simply Pour” from Below the Surface on Mahorka – liquid motion, pouring without end, calm acceptance. A recommended Mahorka release from last November.

Pandacetamol – Simply Pour.

Next, as mentioned, another track from the Passed Recordings label and Ed Herbers, “The Moon (How Bright It Is)” from The Ghost of Christmas Passed. – lunar observation, bright and distant.

Ed Herbers – The Moon (How Bright It Is).

We follow this with another track from that other compilation on the same label. This is On Idyl, “Lost in the Morning (from The Fecund Wood)” here from The Passed Year 2025 on Passed Recordings – morning disorientation in fertile woods, gentle confusion.

On Idyl – Lost in the Morning (from The Fecund Wood).

and now an old friend of the channel Apta, “Shivers” from Apta Live Aviva Studios Manchester 04-12-25 – live capture, shivers running through the room in Manchester.

Apta – Shivers.

Next, for the penultimate number we head to Austin, Texas and artist Devras Plexi, “Relational” from Paradigm 10 Year Label Sampler on Glasgow label Bricolage – connections drawn in sound, relational fields.

Devras Plexi – Relational.

And now, as the tape hisses to its end, a few words before the silence returns. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for crowds, and neither, perhaps, are we. I’ll be back when the next cassette arrives or the mood shifts—whichever feels less predictable. No fixed schedule, no grand announcements. Support the artists if any of this stayed with you—buy the music, share their names quietly. You can stream this one on Mixcloud for a week or so, links and credits at trevor.se, or in the usual places. Comments are welcome, though silence has its own merits.
And finally, Tallinn, Estonia based artist Paul Beaudoin with “to hold you safe” from 1514 Lee Street – a quiet promise held close. Minimal ambient at it’s finest.
Until the next fragment of time overlaps with ours—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the sounds find their way.
Paul Beaudoin – to hold you safe. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 176

04 February 2026

///hits.enjoyable.amended

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve managed to carve out for yourself. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode 176. I’m your guide, Trevor.

The cassette sits ready in the deck, labels hand-scribbled, oxide already flaking a bit at the edges. Side A and Side B, twenty artists strung across them like beads on a frayed string. We’ll flip the tape halfway through, that satisfying clunk and hiss, because some things refuse to be digital.

Tonight we drift through ambient drifts, kosmische pulses, drone meditations, a touch of library funk, some psychedelic sprawl, electroacoustic murmurs from places like Bulgaria, the UK, Munich, Buenos Aires, Athens, Rome, Sheffield, Colorado, and a few others that don’t fit neatly on any map. The longest track stretches out patiently, Asha Patera’s – Wandering in the Upside Down from Sounds for the Soul Records, clocking in at just over 11 minutes. Durations aside, none hurry. There’s an exclusive track which open the B side from Moscow artist DEE_KAY and his track Bellcut. But we’ll get to all that in a bit.
Headphones on if you’ve got them. Volume where it feels intimate. Let the kettle whistle if it wants to. The world can wait.

We begin with a January release from the Mahorka label in Bulgaria, a collected volume of drone and teknoiz spanning a decade. Autonomаton offers The UFO project remix—eerie, floating synth washes that suggest something observed from a great height, unhurried and slightly unsettling in the best way. From the album Collected Not Lost 2015-2025 Vol 1: Drone and Teknoiz.

Autonomаton – The UFO project remix.

Next, Mark Ellery Griffiths with Synthi Sequence B. Loops and sequences built on vintage synths, patient repetitions that build quiet architectures. Mark is a regular of my shows and doesn’t get the credit he should. Check out his Bandcamp releases. He’s nudging on 50 and they’re name your price. Synthi Loops Sequences 2025 – Self released back in December.

Mark Ellery Griffiths – Synthi Sequence B.

Danielle Nia now, Longing For Togetherness. Warm, enveloping tones from i u we records, a gentle pull toward connection without ever forcing the issue. Stunning patchwork from the great Connected 3 compilation. Released a couple of weeks back on i u we records.

Danielle Nia – Longing For Togetherness.

Greek artist Substak and his track Apartment Window from Belgian ambient label Daydreamers. A quick view onto quiet streets, field recordings woven into subtle rhythms, the sound of somewhere lived-in and watched over time. From the EP Empty Bench – released not two weeks ago.

Substak – Apartment Window.

A good friend of the channel Asha Patera, Wandering in the Upside Down. Dream-logic drifts and inverted atmospheres from Sounds for the Soul Records, like walking through familiar rooms that have rearranged themselves while you slept. The Vale of Shadows – Sounds for the Soul. Which is a Stranger Things inspired ambient compilation. Also released in January. This is the long haul.

Asha Patera – Wandering in the Upside Down.

Belgian artist Jeroen Lauwers is, Red Stars Over Tokyo with In Trance from self released The Burning Spiral. Pulsing, hypnotic acid tinged layers that suggest endless night drives through neon-lit cities that might not exist. The Burning Spiral. released back in December.

Red Stars Over Tokyo – In Trance.

Southend On Sea artist Adrian Lane, After The Deluge. Post-flood calm, piano and strings emerging from residue, reflective, haunted and sparse. Their Ghosts and Ours – out on Sheffields finest Audiobulb.

Adrian Lane – After The Deluge.

Argentinian artist Puppy Bordiga with mRn, Solarium. Collaborative warmth, sunlit electronics and gentle percussion from Walking the Way III. Self released back in November.

Puppy Bordiga with mRn – Solarium.

ATA Records is a label and I can’t get my head around if they are also a band. They really know their library stuff but on this release and others the artist is simply ATA Records, no credits to the artists which is a shame. Anyway This is Tatsuya, The Sword. Library archive material, cinematic and evocative, with a heartfelt flute. drawn from Vol 4. The Library Archive Vol 4 – ATA Records.

ATA Records – Tatsuya, The Sword.

Tape flip. The mechanism clicks, heads realign, oxide continues its slow decay. Side B.

Coming up the exclusive for episode 176 is by Moscow Marist DEE-KEY now, Bellcut. Sharp, precise cuts through ambient haze from Local Gods. Local Gods. Drops next week in the 12 of February. Remember where you heard it first.

DEE-KEY – Bellcut.

Now from one of the best Italian jazz-funk library albums of the ’70s. Oscar Rocchi’s Genziana. Herbal, pastoral electronics evoking wild flowers and Italian hillsides, from Erbe Selvatiche on Four Flies Vaults which is the digital imprint of Four Flies Records.

Oscar Rocchi – Genziana.

Now to a favourite label and a release from November. Grant Beasley, The Vanishing Point. This is the title track. Horizon-line drones and slow dissolves. Grant Beasley – The Vanishing Point – Cyclical Dreams.

Grant Beasley – The Vanishing Point.

Next filter sweep time. LA artist Good Sunset, Taormina. Which is a hilltop town on the island of Sicily and I bet they have good sunsets there. Sun-drenched, cinematic reveries from Cinema Everything on Mystery Circles.

Good Sunset – Taormina.

And here’s one from me, under Trevlad—EXPANSIVE WAVES 18 (Slipping Precautions Obvious). A previous transmission excerpt, layered and recursive. TVCL 07 – Trevlad.

Trevlad – EXPANSIVE WAVES 18 (Slipping Precautions Obvious).

Next the poppiest piece I’ve played in a good while. Nostalgia 77, You Where In My Dream Last Night. Dream-state jazz inflections, soft and lingering. Love the bass lines and sound. This is the first single from their upcoming EP titled: When The Lights Gone. Which drops on the 1 May on Nostalgia 77’s Bandcamp page.

Nostalgia 77 – You Where In My Dream Last Night.

Next up Guitars and synth with GROSSO GADGETTO, and “the track Once there was only dark”. Apocalyptic soundscapes for a world winding down, from “Soundtrack for a Dying World by Dark Supreme & Grosso Gadgetto”. Sampled voices of Matthew McConaughey & Woody Harrelson.

GROSSO GADGETTO – “Once there was only dark”.

Now get your world music psychedelic slippers on. We’re off to Melbourne Australia. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Flying Microtonal Banana. Microtonal excursions, psychedelic without apology, the shortest in the episode at 2:34 yet packing strange tunings into tight space. From the album of the same fantastic name. Released on the Heavenly Recordings label about a year ago.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Flying Microtonal Banana.

Now back to 2021 and some wonky synth chords. Near Stoic, Music For A Friend. Intimate, thoughtful pieces from Notebook Thoughts Short Stories on Third Kind Records. A definite Boards of Canada vibe to this one.

Near Stoic – Music For A Friend.

Now I wish my doorbell sounded more like this. The penultimate track and the ultimate wind down. Miguel Otero, Blooming in Sturton Street. Gentle blooms and street-level calm from Islas Calm Cloud. One of the recent compilations let loose on Whitelabrecs. Get it now…

Miguel Otero – Blooming in Sturton Street.

And before the tape ends. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for haste, and neither, I suspect, are you. Support the artists if any of this lodged somewhere—buy the music, share the names. Stream this one on Mixcloud for a week if you need to revisit. All the paths and links live at trevor.se.
And if it was possible to close on a chiller note I think I have you covered. We close with Astropilot, The River Knows No Hurry. Flowing, unforced kosmische from Stockholm label Valley View Records, a reminder that some currents simply continue.
Until the next time the cassette calls. Stay resonant. Stay expansive. Let the sounds find their own way.
Trevor, signing off.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 175

01 February 2026

///workforce.overtime.whistle


Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve washed up in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-five. I’m Trevor, here again, turning over another worn cassette in the dim glow, letting the oxide whisper its secrets.
These tapes arrive unmarked most times, or with labels half-peeled, but they carry traces—field recordings folded into drone, synths that drift like low cloud over northern latitudes, breaks that nod to libraries long since catalogued and forgotten, post-rock edges softened by reverb tails, psych undercurrents that never quite surface, ambient excursions that refuse to resolve. Scotland lingers in a few of these grooves, Cologne breathes through one, Italy scatters light across another, while others seem to come from no fixed place at all, just coordinates lost between sleep and map.
No rush tonight. Twenty pieces, two sides, a flip when the spool runs thin. If the kettle needs boiling, let it. If the room grows cold, pull something closer. The world can wait outside the door.
It’s a special Saturday here in Sweden and marks the start of the Melody Festival. Which, however you feel about it makes the long winter up here bearable. How ever you feel about the music represented.
Now back to this outing.
First, something that moves like light through leaves in late winter. Camouflage by Kraft, from the Bureau B 2025 release on Bureau B. A gentle, sensual, unfurling, synths breathing slow. Headphones on, let time dissolve and let the frequencies claim you.
Camouflage – Kraft.
Now Lo Five with STORY, pulled from Superdank on Lunar Module. A definite nod to the ORB, A pumping beat over child spoken narrative and House stabs.
STORY – Lo Five.
Now taking us way down. E J R M offers Pitter Patter, part of Solar Return – Gollden Hour Mix on Imaginary North. Glistening drones that patter like rain on tin, layered with distant chords.
Pitter Patter – E J R M.
Now staying in Droneville. Wil Bolton and David Cordero together for Starlight Breeze, from How to Make Sense of Downtime on the Home Normal label. Notes drift against soft drones, a breeze indeed.
Starlight Breeze – Wil Bolton & David Cordero.
Now a shot one, 1:25 to be exact. Tim Story and Cafe Kaputt, taken from Buzzle on Curious Music. Melancholic Mellotron keys and a Hugh Hopper style bass, in a room that’s emptying slowly.
Cafe Kaputt – Tim Story.
The longest piece for the episode at 8 minutes. Droning Cats with NRV bring Dreams with Claws, from Cartography of Sleep on Barcelona based See Blue Audio. Claws sheathed in haze, dreams that scratch gently. Bobbling bass which sounds like it’s being played by the tide. and sparse porch friendly guitar lines.
Dreams with Claws – Droning Cats with NRV.
Caer Sgàil, from Scotland, with It’s The People We Choose (Exit Chamber’s Choose Wisely Remix), off It’s The Remixes We Choose EP on Caer Sgàil’s Bandcamp. Deep, shadowed rework, piano buried in mist.
It’s The People We Choose (Exit Chamber’s Choose Wisely Remix) – Caer Sgàil.
And now for something completely different. Modern Sound Quartet and Bucaneve, from Italian Library Breaks on Four Flies Records. Breaks with a Mediterranean lightness, snow in name only. Italian library jazz fusion from the 70s.
Bucaneve – Modern Sound Quartet.
Another longer track at 7:39. Andrea Cichecki offers When We Close Our Eyes, shared with track that follows by Tangent Universes on Connected 3 via I u we Records. Eyes closed, the world turns inward, synths cradle the shift.
When We Close Our Eyes – Andrea Cichecki.
And right beside it, Tangent Universes with A Suit Of Leaves, also from Connected 3 on I u we Records. Leaves rustling in some parallel season.
A Suit Of Leaves – Tangent Universes.
Time to turn the tape. Listen for the clunk, the hiss, the moment the mechanism catches.

We open Side B. Ekin Fil with bump, from Bora Boreas on Dutch label Dronarivm. Delicate, almost fragile, yet it lingers.
bump – Ekin Fil.
Now the perfect track for the moment as I’m recording this on Saturday morning. Wooden Tape and Saturday Morning, lifted from the MCPM018 Compilation Album on Moolakii Club Audio Interface label. Sun through curtains, coffee cooling, a cassette morning.
Saturday Morning – Wooden Tape.
Another Mellotron now. Osees deliver The Ceiling, released as a single. Garage-psych softened at the edges. Like early Floyd crossed with Cardiacs.
The Ceiling – Osees.
Next some original indie thinking. Foxwarren with Strange, off 2 on Anti- Records. Folk that tilts strange, sampled classic movie strings and bubbling bass.
Strange – Foxwarren.
Next Andrew Wasylyk featuring Gruff Rhys on The Cold Collar, from Irreparable Parables on the immaculate Clay Pipe Music label. Wonderful story telling.
The Cold Collar (Feat. Gruff Rhys) – Andrew Wasylyk.
Eafhm presents Luzne (Part l), from Eafhm – Luzne on Secuencias Temporales. Percussive world techno. Part one unfolds slow, light on water perhaps.
Luzne (Part l) – Eafhm.
Now the shortest tack of the episode at 58 seconds Herne von Bòrmanvs with Will O^ Water, from Synthergic on recent label friend Pente. Water that glows, will o’ the wisp in circuit form.
Will O^ Water – Herne von Bòrmanvs.
another short and sweet track at 1:42. Grocer Cat and closing up shop. the day is done, off A Day at Market on Hecate. Shutters down, keys in pocket, quiet settles.
closing up shop. the day is done – Grocer Cat.
Now some raw grit. Geese arrive with Bow Down, from Getting Killed on their Bandcamp. Post-punk angles, heads bowed in rhythm.
Bow Down – Geese.
And now, as the reels slow and the tape flaps loose at the end, a few words before the silence claims us again. Thanks for staying with it. These shows aren’t built for quick glances or playlists on shuffle. They’re for the long sit, the slow listen. If anything here stayed with you, find the artists, buy the records, send them a signal through the ether. It matters. This one streams free for seven days on Mixcloud—link below, or at trevor.se, where the credits live too. Comments welcome, or none at all. Silence has its own frequency.
Until the next tape finds its way onto the deck—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the waves carry what they will.
Finally, Jens Pauly with Naab, from his work on the great Whitelabrecs. Field lines drawn in Cologne air, quiet testimony.
This is Trevor, signing off. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 174

28 January 2026

///furnish.rests.goggle

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve washed up in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. I’m Trevor, turning the reels in the half-light, playing custodian to these sounds that drift in from places most folk never bother to tune toward.

We’ve got twenty artists lined up across the two sides tonight, twenty fragments of cassette spirit. No rush, no hits, no pleading for your attention. Ambient drifts mingle with electroacoustic textures, spiritual jazz breathes alongside kraut-tinged electronics, improv flickers meet drone horizons. Patience is the only ticket required.

Side A coming right up as we ease in with Bary Center and The Source Of Something Greater – Guide Me Through The Hills Of Your Home – Third Kind Records back in 2020. I’d describe this as Textured ambient with a glitch undercurrent, dub-like pulses buried in meditative marshland haze, a quiet hope threading through the sadness.

Then Asheville, North Carolinas Spooqs brings the shortest track of the episode clocking in a 2:27 with Lyskae, The Fissure – Biomes. Cinematic electroacoustic soundscapes, a pilgrimage mapped in melody across dunes and into salt water, landscapes that remember your footprints.

CV Vision follows with The Jam – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. A slice from the label’s latest roundup, electronics carrying that Hamburg lineage of krautrock echoes and avant-garde restraint.

The longest offering this round at 6:53 Resonating With Life offers Spinning Out of The Skies – Resonating With Life – Cyclical Dreams. Drone and ambient suspended in slow rotation, skies that keep unfolding long after you’ve looked away.

Another short one at 2:50 Galecstasy & Mike Watt Trio step up with Imitation Squid – Wattzotica. Which came out today January 28 on A favourite label and channel sponsoring Mystery Circles. I’d say this is Free improvisation from the Joshua Tree, punk-edged bass from Watt meeting synths and drums in unscripted motion, raw and restless.

GODTET deliver Stepper – +The Sydney Symphony Orchestra – La SAPE records. Spiritual jazz meeting orchestral weight, live from the Sydney Opera House, improvisation threading through fixed structures like light through stone.

Now, me, Trevlad with Obey Beams Starting – TVCL 09. Ambient electronics pulled from the library’s own recent episodes, beams that start quiet and refuse to explain themselves.

Camp of Wolves and Summer’s End – Bear Creek – Castles in Space Lunar Module imprint. Fading seasonal glow, folk-tinged atmospheres cooling into dusk.

Angel WailWhen The Burden Felt Too Heavy. A solitary voice in the weight, A self released single that will be featured on my next compilation Puzzles of the Psyche. A reminder to get your entries in for this before March 25th. This Is classic synth shapings with a sad story.

And closing Side A, one of the longer pieces of the episode at 6:50 Jarguna / Odile Bruckert / Henrik Meierkord close the side with The First Sunrise I Remember – Furrows Of Memory – Projekt Records. Memory etched in gentle field recordings and strings, the first light recalled across years.

Side B.

Hipwell opens with Too Much – Too Much. Available through Island House Recordings. This is Direct, unadorned, a title that says everything and nothing more.

Hipnotic Earth brings Snow Begins To Fall – Islas Calm Cloud – Whitelabrecs. Winter settling in slow layers, calm cloud islands drifting.

OdNu, Mi Cosa de Resistance and mRn with En el Viento – Southern Lands – Southern Lands. On another show sponsoring label Audiobulb. Wind-carried voices and tones, Argentinas southern latitudes whispering through the mix.

Das KinnNichts – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. Another from the Bureau B harvest, negation turned into sound, sparse and deliberate.

Clearways offers Mirage – Latrality. Illusions held in place by careful electronics, edges that shimmer and refuse to solidify.

Serbian artist nedogled with Toplina – Upavi Snovi. Warmth in dream states, tones that wrap rather than strike.

Autistici2.25 Degrees of Internalisation – Familiarity Unfolded. Another one out on Audiobulb. Internal shifts measured in fractions, unfolding slow and precise.

London based, Time Attendant brings Lapping Up Flames – The Feral Mould. Flames consumed in reverse, feral shapes moulded into something almost gentle. An odd one this, avant garde in places.

Lorna Dune with Perseids – Sequential Dreaming. Another great release from Mystery Circles. Meteor trails across dreaming sequences, streaking light in the dark.

And now, as the tape hisses toward silence, a few words before we disappear again. Thanks for staying with it. These shows aren’t built for crowds, and neither, perhaps, are you. Support the artists where you can—buy the tapes, the downloads, the vinyl when it appears. Whisper their names into whatever void listens. It matters more than metrics suggest.
This episode streams free on Mixcloud for a week, full links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments. Leave a word if something landed. Or don’t. Quiet has its own frequency.
Until the wind shifts or the reel ends—whichever arrives first—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the universe keep its own counsel.
Antwerp based autumna closes the show with sea flames – Murmurs In The Mist – Trevlad. Flames on water, murmurs rising through fog, a final dissolution.
Don’t miss out on my next compilation. Details on my Bandcamp page.
That was Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. Good night.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 172

24 January 2026

///elbowed.eggs.shady

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve drifted into. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-two. I’m Trevor, sifting through the reels once more, turning the dial until something faintly human—or faintly inhuman—comes through.

These cassettes still carry the promise of two sides, a flip in the middle. Twenty artists tonight, drawn from various corners: some from the damp fields of field recording-touched ambient, others from the slow-burn electronics of Glasgow’s Bricolage or whitelabrecs quiet corners, a few from Portland’s soft tape worlds, and further out to the looped, patient rhythms that refuse to hurry.

No rush here. No hooks to grab you by the collar. These are pieces that breathe, that unfold like fog over water, that let time stretch until it forgets its own name.

The Wild Hunt Die Wilde Jagd – Gleiß K – Convenanza – Höganord Rekords
A motorik pulse wrapped in dark-leaning kraut electronics, voices half-buried in the machinery, building without ever quite arriving. So Headphones on, let time dissolve and let the frequencies claim you.

Now one of the shortest entries on the show Ann Annie – lupine – El Prado (Deluxe) – available through Nettwerk label.
Portland piano atmospheres drift in gentle layers, carrying a meditative hush, like rain on greenhouse glass.

blochemy – Eim – Islas Calm Cloud – whitelabrecs. Sorry for the mispronunciation in the last episode.
Minimal tape wonk and electroacoustic patience, tones that hover and slowly modulate, a quiet study in restraint and space.

And now clap along with Nu Era – See Are Seven (Bonus Track) – The Second Circle – Neroli Records
Deep, enveloping electronics with a touch of kosmische drift, layers folding inward, unhurried and expansive.

Next Saya Gray – PUDDLE ( OF ME ) – Saya – Dirty Hit
Intimate, watery textures, voice and instrumentation blurring into something fragile and reflective, almost confessional in its slowness.

Check the reverb on the rimshots. Robohands – Oranj – Oranj – Bastard Jazz Recordings
Wonky Rhodes and guitar-led loops that circle and evolve, warm and understated, letting small repetitions reveal hidden depths over time.

Now panic inducing mud flaps. Sophie Sleigh-Johnson – Chaldean Acts – Nuncio Ref – Crow Versus Crow
Sparse, ritualistic soundscapes, field edges and processed resonances evoking ancient, unspoken acts.

Back to some pop phrasings and a bassist at work Flora Hibberd – Auto Icon – Swirl – self-released
Delicate, swirling arrangements, voice and instrumentation caught in gentle eddies, intimate and quietly hypnotic.

And now a recent mate of the channel brings some pigeons CommsBreakdown – In The Heart Of Spring – Dadtronica Ambientus – self-released
Spring-like modular pulses and soft drones, a sense of renewal threaded through the circuitry. Lovely stuff.

Now to end Side A with a stomping track from one of my fantastic supporting labels Bricolage Black Lupus – Fractal Particles – Paradigm 10 Year Label Sampler – Bricolage Glasgow
Granular electronics from Glasgow, particles scattering and reforming in fractal patterns, precise yet organic.

Tape flip.

The cassette turns. Side B.

Starting off Side B Vancouver based Active Dark Filament – Song for Moritz – (NYP) – Lost Axioms Excerpts – self-released
Dedicated drift, dark ambient threads that pull slowly across an 80s vibe stereo field.

And now for something special from David Soulscorch here as Rural District Lo-Fi Recording Project – Disenchanting. Nice Work If You Can Get It – Jolly Johnny and His Oompahing Oomlahs.
Lo-fi pastoral wanderings, disenchanted yet oddly affectionate, cassette warmth intact. This album made me happy.

Next is from a label I’d love to play more of as they release some of the best sounds out there. Unfortunately I can’t afford to play as much as I’d like and I respect that they won’t send me stuff for free, but every now and then something lands on my decks for which I’m grateful. This is one of those times. Here’s Kayla Painter – Anicca – Tectonic Particles – Quiet Details
Shifting, impermanent textures, tectonic plates of sound moving beneath the surface, calm on top.

And now to the label who has championed the channel for many a year and a release by James Adrian Brown – Generator – Generator – Colin Morrisons Castles in Space
Generator hums and harmonic overtones, a machine dreaming its own slow song.

Speaking of great labels here’s another one worthy of your attention storyinsoil – Spin Glass – Distillation – Ingrown
Glassy, spinning drones, crystalline and distilled, turning in perpetual motion. Release date is set to February 3rd, so go grab a copy.

Now there’s this wonderful Russian artist NDORFIK who I’ve had a bit of contact with over the past few weeks. He’s a great guy and good at promoting his mates here is one of them in Local Gods label curator Alexander Lvov as Man as island – Haikei – AN. This has yet to get an official release date so you are a lucky bunch.
Isolated, island-bound reveries, spacious and solitary, awaiting their proper tide.

Now an oldie I think I discovered through an instagram post by dream.weasel. I recommend you checking her out. This is Andy Stott – Luxury problems – Modern Love
Heavy, dubbed-out pressure, bass weight and smeared atmospheres from the Manchester shadows.

Now my favourite middle eastern groove outfit Sababa 5 – Allô – C A VA C A VA – set for release on Batov records on 20 Feb.
Psychedelic-tinged grooves, loose and sun-bleached.

The penultimate track and another super supporter of the channel. Label curator Harry Towell & Guy Gelem – Esplanade – Islas Calm Cloud – Whitelabrec.
Calm, esplanade-length drones, coastal in feel, minimal and modern classical in poise.

And now, as the tape nears its end, a few words before the leader tape rattles through. Thanks for staying with it. These libraries aren’t built for playlists or algorithms; they’re for the ones who still turn the dial by hand. Support the artists if any of this lodged somewhere inside you—buy the tapes, the files, the vinyl where it exists. Whisper their names when the room is quiet. It matters.
This episode streams on Mixcloud for a short while, links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments below. Say something if the mood takes you. Or say nothing. Silence has its own frequency.
The final piece is the shortest of the episode but is a gem by Kure – Moon Acid – Another from Paradigm 10 Year Label Sampler – on Glasgows finest Bricolage label.
Acid-touched moonlit electronics, another Glasgow echo, warped and lunar.
Until the next reel spins—stay resonant, stay adrift.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 171

23 January 2026

///comfort.good.froth

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve managed to carve out for yourself. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-one. I’m Trevor, speaking to you from the other side of the tape head, where the oxide still clings and the hiss is part of the charm.

We find ourselves on the twenty-third of January, two thousand and twenty-six, with a programme assembled in the spirit of those old C90s that used to stretch evenings without apology. Two sides, as ever. A gentle flip midway through. Twenty artists in total, no more, no less. The music wanders through ambient drifts that evoke Norwegian fjords and calm clouds over islands, psychedelic excursions rooted in Tokyo’s lost forests, motorik pulses, industrial jazz fragments, electroacoustic meditations, desolate plains of techno shadow, and transmissions that feel beamed from some parallel broadcast tower.

No rush here. The pieces breathe. Some stretch beyond the usual borders. If you’re in a hurry, the dial is yours to turn. Otherwise, stay. Let the kettle whistle its own tune. Let the room settle around you.

We open with the first of five exclusive tracks for the episode. This one from Revbjelde and the piece Non Chion – from that Extracellular promo CD on Buried Treasure. Berkshire’s particular strain of industrial jazz psych motorik folk, with guests adding their edges; here it’s a slow uncoiling, fragments of voice and rhythm that feel unearthed from some forgotten field recording.

Next, WEALDHAM with Spectral Points – self-released on Bandcamp. Ghostly electronics, lo-fi edges meeting something almost jazzy and indie, spectral in the truest sense, points of light flickering in the undergrowth.

Then Harry Towell aka Glåsbird, Kaldsår – from the Islas Calm Cloud compilation on Whitelabrecs. Modern classical ambient, electroacoustic, a frozen landscape thawing very slowly, evoking those northern Scandinavian waters and quiet inlets.

Next a new artist for me. Kikagaku Moyo with Kodama – from Forest of Lost Children on Guruguru Brain. Tokyo psychedelic rock, acid folk with raga undertows and krautrock momentum; this one carries the weight of ancient trees and childlike discovery, hypnotic and unhurried.

Then German artist, Tobias Lorsbach, aka, Logic Moon, Under The Blue – also from Islas Calm Cloud on Whitelabrecs. Deep, patient ambient layers, blue horizons stretching out, calm as the title suggests.

Now the amazing Dennis Huddleston, or, 36 as you probably know him, with Imagine The Truth – from Threewave on Past Inside The Present. Vast, immersive drone and ambient textures, truth imagined in slow-motion swells.

Now Tim Gilbert, as, Fields of Few, with a short entry, Northern Light Fading – from Sines Signals on Triplicate Records. Fading auroral glows translated into electronic signals, northern skies captured in synth and reverb.

Next the second of five exclusives from Saratoga Springs based David Aimone, Formless Statement – from Eulogy for an American Dream. Dropping on the 20 February via channel favourite label Passed Recordings. A eulogy delivered in abstract, formless shapes, poignant and drifting.

Here is another short one and an exclusive from Dolly Dolly & Fogroom with Clock Tower – again from that Extracellular promo on Buried Treasure. Avant-garde abstraction, perhaps clockwork mechanics wound down to a whisper, hip-swinging in strange time.
This will be a vinyl launch will be at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, Reading, Berks. On
Sat 28th Feb – 7.30pm to 11pm. Get you tickets now.

UK based, Martin Archer led jazz collective, Orchestra Of The Upper Atmosphere, and the fourth exclusive in the form of, Moonride – from their up coming release on Discus Music. Due out 30th January. Cosmic jazz orbits, upper atmosphere drifts where melody and improvisation meet the void.

And now another channel champion in the form of Bucla easel star Giulio Fontana known as, Ogle, Walking Robots – from Dystopian Leisure on Mahorka. Robotic gait in a leisure dystopia, electronic pulses that walk with mechanical melancholy.

Here’s one of my all time top artists. Finlands finest, Jimi Tenor Band, Shine All Night featuring Florence Adooni – from the Bureau B 2025 compilation on Bureau B. Afro-futurist grooves, shining through the night with soulful brass and voices.

Now the final track before the flip from the wonderful Polish artist, Wojciech Golczewski, Transmission 21 – from End of Transmission 3 on French label Data Airlines. Synth transmissions, data streams ending in quiet dissolution.

Opening the B side is the second Bucla artist and amazing Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, I Miss The Way You Swim – from Thoughts on the Future on a couple of places. One of them being the Nettwerk label. Buchla explorations, missing the fluid motion, modular sighs and swells.

Now we head th New Zealand and, Liam Todd, as, ZHERAV, NAJA – from Naja Bazaar on London legends Batov Records. Bazaar echoes, middle eastern motifs twisted into contemporary electronic forms.

Now Toronto-based, Jordan Czamanski or, Jordan GCZ, I Said What I Said – from The Second Circle compilation on Italian label Neroli Records. Direct, unapologetic house rhythms, spoken truths over the beat.

Next Oslo based, Mikkel Haraldstad, better known as, Mikkel Rev, Desolate Plains – from the 2025 label compilation mixed by todos, on A Strangely Isolated Place. Wide, empty landscapes in techno guise, desolate yet compelling.

And now Portland based label curator Eric Angelo Bessel, Double Helix – from Mirror at Night on his Lore City Music label. Spiralling structures, night mirrors reflecting genetic twists in sound.

The penultimate track of episode 171 comes from Russian artist Aleksander Tochilkin who we know as Koett, Lost Time – from Lost Time pre-release, which is an odd title for an EP that was released in 2013 on Dutch label Atomnation. Time slipping away, recaptured in melancholic electronic memory.

And finally on the episode I present to you, the fifth exclusive from Isle of Lewis based, Ali Murray or The Lonely Bell, Elsewhere – from his upcoming release Time Lost. Preorder on the Oscaron label from the 30 January. Tones ringing from somewhere distant, elsewhere indeed.
And as the reels slow and the tape begins to slacken, a few words before the silence returns. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for playlists or quick scrolls. They’re for those who still let music occupy real time. Support the artists where you can – Bandcamp pages, labels, whatever small act keeps the chain intact. Whisper their names if you like; the void listens sometimes.
This episode streams on Mixcloud, free for a week as usual. Links, credits, the full tracklist – all at trevor.se and in the comments. Say something there if the mood takes you. Or say nothing. Either way suits.
Until the next time the cassette turns over – stay resonant.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 169

17 January 2026

///hits.enjoyable.amended

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

This is Trevor here, on the 17th of January 2026. Bringing you Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, cassette number 169.
Two sides, as ever. A flip in the middle. Twenty names scratched onto the insert in biro that’s starting to fade.
We begin Side A, with Lisbon Portugal based JB Kyron and Tony Watts who together call themselves Hidden Horse — Trespass Into The Maze from their forthcoming release Renewer and also on the
upcoming vinyl compilation Extracellular — from Buried Treasure. Which, at the moment can only be heard on CD when you purchase a Gig Ticket Promo. A gig featuring some great acts highlighting avant-garde abstraction & hip-swinging electronica which takes place at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, in Reading, on the 28th of February. Tickets are only 6 pounds. A no brainer if you’re in that neck of the woods.
Trespass Into The Maze is a slow unfurling of field recordings and distant bells, like walking through fog that remembers your footsteps.
So headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the frequencies claim you.
Next up is Scottish artist.
Veryan — and the remix version of Needles At The Bottom Of The Sea, by Jules Straw aka, Pinklogik. Taken from the three track, name your price, self released, Broken Mirrors EP.
Deep sub-aquatic drift, pulses that rise and fall like breath under pressure.
Dolphins of Venice — Guldschmitt
From Captains of Industry — Mahorka.
Golden drones meet faint mechanical clatter, somewhere between Venice canals and abandoned factories.
Coming up the channels best friend in the form of Gareth Evans also known as Horrowdwarf or HDRF — here with one of the many great tracks from my own curated 45 track compilation Resonances From The Depths. Gareth is one of those people you’re happy to have on the planet, and deserves at least a plaque for being himself.
Layered aquatic melancholy, synths that bubble and subside without ever quite surfacing. HDRF, But Drowning.
Now some damp drones from Mosaicist — Unseen For The Day
From The Fog Is Lifting — released back in November on Whitelabrecs.
Quiet guitar figures dissolve into haze, the sound of light slowly leaving a room.
Now another track from that Buried treasure Extracellular compilation from
Domotic — Ossature. Originally released on the self released Fourrure Sounds Vol. 2 —
Bone-dry textures and soft fur-like pads, intimate and strangely tactile with bonkers bubbling percussive sequences.
Next up LA based Steve Pacheco takes us out into the clouds with — Aspen Grove
From Islas Calm Cloud — Whitelabrecs.
Gentle wind through high branches, sparse piano notes caught in the aspens.
Now from Antwerp, Belgium Gregory Geerts also known as, Strangebird~Sounds brings us some Eurorack modular magic with the track — FLUORITE
From Minerals Form The Crust
Crystalline resonances, mineral shimmer that feels both ancient and newly formed. Released on Audiobulb Records yesterday.
Another exclusive track also from Audiobulb records now from idiiom wonderful improvised vocalisations in the title track Neural Network dropping on the 7th of February.
Glitching, half-remembered machine dreams, edges that blur between code and consciousness.
Finishing off the A side is an artists I played yesterday on the EXPANSIVE WAVES episode. This is applecore — fmbient
From Contact At The Deep Bottom — a name your price release that dropped on the 11th of January via the Mahorka label.
Warm, lo-fi ambient hum, like a distant server farm breathing in the night.

Side B

Starting of the second half of the show is a release from yesterday from Argentinian synthesist Ulises Labaronnie — Evening thoughts
From Cycles De Mémoire — Cyclical Dreams.
Reflective, almost elegiac pads that drift through twilight memory.
And now Bernard Grancher — with, excuse my French, Sous les flots incertains et la fange du matin, which translates as Under the uncertain floods and the mire of the morning
From Astra Lumen Solaria which dropped January 6th on artist curated label Astra Solaria Recordings.
Blissful retro synth currents, morning mud, slow and deliberate.
Gareth Jones — erSprach
From Mortality Tables single — released January 12th on Mortality Tables.
Odd sampled fragments, suspended in vast reverb, half incantation.
And now the brothers Clive and Mark Ives also known as Woo — Abstract Objects
From the album M=C — Self released on the 21st of December.
Floating, free-form abstraction, gentle percussion that never quite commits to rhythm.

Some deep drone now from the legends The Black Dog — Sleep Deprivation 44: Frayed Edges Consciousness
From The Black Dog Presents Sleep Deprivation Greatest Hits Vol. 3.
Exhausted, fraying electronics, the sound of a mind at 4 a.m. still refusing to shut down.

Now a name we’ve all grown up with in Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk fame here with the track Another Reality
From the compilation Bureau B 2025
Kosmische pulse, clean and measured, a doorway left ajar to somewhere parallel.
We head back to Whitelabrecs and a release that dropped today in the form of the must have compilation Sleeplaboratory6.0 here is French artist Eric Allietta better known as Ancient Astronaut — Lightened.
Weightless drift, light slowly returning after long dark.
Rutger Zuydervelt — House of Strength
From House of Strength — released last November on the amazing Dutch label, Dronarivm.
Architectural drones, solid yet permeable, like walking through rooms made of sound.
The penultimate piece from the episode is also an exclusive track from Third Kind Records 5 quid subscription service which entitles subscribers to exclusive stuff as well as 50% off merch.
Rupert Lally & Nicholas Langley — Acid Pavilions
Acid-touched modular wanderings, pavilions erected and dismantled in the same breath.
Before the reels slow, a few words.
Thanks for staying with it. These tapes aren’t made for playlists or algorithms.
They’re made for the hours when the rest of the world has gone quiet.
If anything here stayed with you, find the artists, buy the music, keep the small labels breathing.
Stream this one on Mixcloud while it lasts, links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments.
Say something if the mood takes you. Or say nothing. Both are fine.
I was recently back in Dublin for a few days and met with a couple of my closest friends from the past. At the honorary pub session there was excitement about this final act. Who are new to me oddly. Thanks to Garret and Graham for the heads up. This is
Thee Oh Sees — Toe Cutter – Thumb Buster
From Floating Coffin — Self released
Garage-psych motorik churn, the only moment tonight where things get properly physical.
Until the next cassette finds its way into the deck—stay resonant.
Trevor, signing off.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 168

15 January 2026

///saves.lend.held

Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.

Here is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library – episode 168.
Here on the virtual deck tonight, another selection pulled from the shelves of the library. Electronic currents, ambient drifts, synthesizer explorations, some deep techno pulses, kosmische traces, italian library breaks, and a few passages into hauntology and experimental corners.
We begin side A.
Steve Hauschildt – Statue of Verdigris – from Aeropsia
A shimmering, verdant drift of modular synth layers from Tbilisi, Georgia that feels permanently suspended in early morning light. Available through Simul Records.
Here is 6 minutes from Awe Kid – Eve (Max Cooper Remix) – from Atomnation 2025 Compilation 2
Intricate, breathing jungle rework with crystalline rhythms and vast open skies. The first of two works from this great compilation.
Saïph – Tellurkraft – from Accentape007: Saïph – Teriak 2
Staying in the beat section we have dense, rolling dubtechno pressure from Paris, heavy with reverb tails and mineral undertones.
Let’s take it down with VVvrm – Nightwatch – from Praise the Hidden Path
Shadowy, nocturnal dungeon synth that guards the gates between worlds. Bringing us back to, or into, gaming mode.
Coming up wonderful 5/8 timings with Portland Vows – Algor – from Living Posthumously
Bleak, isolationist dark ambient from the Pacific Northwest, cold wind across abandoned concrete. On the amazing Third Kind Record label.
Short and sweet with Suncastle – Evenbloom – from Like Failing Clockwork
Gentle, nature synth drift, soft blooms unfolding across a failing, crackling, mechanical horizon. Available through Triplicate records.
Epic drones coming up from Gidge – Whiteout – from Atomnation 2025 Compilation 2
Sweeping, melodic techno from Sweden with white-noise horizons and distant emotional thunder. The second piece from this must have Atomisation release.
Bringing back some percussive elements with Monoparts – Scattered Parts – from 2025 Label Compilation mixed by Todos (A Strangely Isolated Place)
Fragmented IDM constructions, delicate and quietly chaotic.
Here comes almost 6 minutes of dub from Shadow Dancer – Bom20 – from 1997-1998 Unreleased
Raw, vintage Chicago acid lines via Manchester unearthed from the late 90s archive. Self Released.
Coming up the last entry for the A side and the most adventurous outing of the show I dare say. Just under 6 minutes from aeon – Sora (adagio for shrimps) – from the compilation Resonances from the Depths
Submerged, watery electroacoustic meditation with strange, gentle crustacean lullabies. Recorded with real live shrimps. aeon is a top friend of the channel and this is a piece from my second compilation outing available via the Trevlad Bandcamp page.
(tape slows… mechanical clunk… flip… tape leader hiss)
More atmospheres from distant places tonight – Sweden, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Norway, and even a whisper from Argentina.
Scottish artist Moray Newlands – The Recesses – another one from my own Murmurs in the Mist compilation.
Quiet, misty drone passages that linger in forgotten corridors. It’s so nice to see the artists from my releases getting airplay out there. Don’t forget to send in your entries for the upcoming Puzzles of the Psyche compilation before March 26th.
And now two minutes of bliss from Nicholas Langley – 1996 – from Entropy Soundtracks & Ambients Volume 2 (Third Kind Records)
Nostalgic 90s hauntology, crackling with the ghosts of old TV idents. If you think I’ve being playing a lot from Third Kind Records lately it’s because they sent me their entire discography. Hint hint, wink wink, say no more.
Meftah – 7 – from The Second Circle (Neroli Records)
Minimal, 7/8 timed hypnotic pulse carved from deep Parisian shadows.
The legendary Kid Spatula – Spitalfield – from Joozy (Mike Paradinas aka Mu-ziq aka Kid Spatula
Playful, skewed IDM with bright, wonky angles. and a fantastic synth bass line. Another one available through Third Kind Records.
And here’s another great bass line but from the 70s with a short one by Rocchi, Godi, Chiarosi or the Modern Sound Quartet – Confabulante – from Italian Library Breaks (Four Flies Records)
Funky, swinging library groove straight out of Milan, on another channel supporting label.
A clear nod to Kraftwerk coming now with the longest piece on the episode clocking in at 7 minutes 28 seconds from Michael Brückner – Sequential Blue – from A Sequence of Colours (Cyclical Dreams) Massive shoutout to Pablo from the label who sends me all the latest from the label.
Berlin School sequences that ripple outward in deep azure waves.
Another one on the longer side at 5:48 from Trem 77 – Aepochs – from the album of the same name.
Cosmic, expansive synthesizer music that stretches across epochs. Thank you to the artist for sending me this and for the kind words about the channel. Don’t forget to send stuff you’d like to hear me play. It doesn’t have to be your own.
And now for something completely different with some short exclusive soul vibes from Norwegian Les Imprimés – Next Summer – from Fading Forward
Warm, sweet soul with gentle indie touches, looking toward brighter days. Coming soon on Big Crown Records and Colemine Records.
Al Lover Meets Cairo Liberation Front – Level 5 – from Nymphaea Caerulea
Psychedelic dub ritual, heavy percussion meeting ancient plant visions. Out on the amazing Gothenburg Sweden based label Höga Nord Rekords.
Now to end episode 168 of The Virtual Cassette Library I bring you some haunted piano from Swoop and Cross – Elco eda – from On the Grounds of Indecency (Perceptual Tapes)
Strange, off-kilter experimental soundscape with hidden narratives.

And that concludes episode 168. Thanks for staying with the tape right to the end. Until the next flip. Cheerio…

7 January 2026

///retain.happier.obeyed

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, Trevor here, and this is episode one‑six‑four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Retain Happier Obeyed—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.
On the A side there’s an exclusive by Foster Neville titled, Mow Cop, from the album, Through Lands Of Ghosts. Dropping on the 16th of January via Subexotic Records.
On the B side there’s a sort of exclusive by Hendekagon. Who’ve done a magical soundtrack to accompany the book Die Verschiebung der Zeit (The shift in time) by Corina Retzlaff out on Adventurous Music.
Also the track, Magical Interval, by John Haughey & Tarotplane is from their up coming Woodford Halse release called, WF 98 – Errata.
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 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.”

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.”

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‑one of the Virtual Cassette Library—which also happens to be my 900th mix show. I’m not entirely sure how that happened, but here we are. Today’s theme is Obey Beams Starting—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. Early on you’ll hear Night Birds by The Inventors of Aircraft—an exclusive from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation sleeplaboratory6.0. Always a pleasure to be able to share something before it officially takes flight.
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 winter light, spectral electronics, Casio memories, kosmische detours, festive oddities, and the occasional unexpected left‑turn. 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.”

///twist.fondest.waffle

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.

“Greetings all. Episode one-five-four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Decide Views Packages. That’s the track you hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—it’s up on YouTube if you’re curious.
I’m Trevor, presenting ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. Tonight you’ll hear Ranga on Secuencias Temporales, Augen from Womblabel, and FernLodge via Unexplained Sounds Group. Mark Barrott with Norma Winstone and Leo Taylor bring a celestial touch, while Steve Hauschildt and Martin Stürtzer stretch into kosmische and deep ambient zones. On the B side, Dolphins of Venice on Mahorka, Ekoplekz, Portland Vows, and my own track Project Admire Spreads drift through the signal. Jah Wobble, Kid Spatula, and Pyramids of Phobos add echoes of spoken word, IDM, and hauntological soundscapes.
Labels orbiting here include Adventurous Music, Cyclical Dreams, Third Kind Records, Wormhole World, and Balmat. Styles range from ambient and deep techno to ritual electronics, kosmische, jazz-funk, and experimental sound art. These transmissions stretch across places—Mexico City, Lisbon, Leipzig, Glasgow, and Uppsala—woven into the resonance of the library.
The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre‑order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. Every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.
