00:07:01 Gollden – destiny #10
https://imaginarynorth.bandcamp.com/track/destiny-10
(from the album *Destiny*) Imaginary North label.
A neon-lit corridor in an abandoned cyber-city at midnight. Holographic cherry blossoms drift through cracked concrete, their petals glitching into fractal code as distant data streams cascade down mirrored walls in electric blue.
00:09:00 frostlake – Sundowner
https://discusmusic.bandcamp.com/track/sundowner
(from the album *Shattered Stone*) Discus Music label.

00:12:34 Christina Chatfield – Sutro
(from the album *Sutro*) Mysteries of the Deep label.

00:19:12 Rosie Tee – Wishbone
(from the album *Night Creature*) Kikimora Records label.
A dimly lit attic room filled with antique mirrors and velvet drapes at midnight. A delicate bone-white wishbone hovers mid-air, cracking open to release swirling threads of crimson light that weave into spectral figures dancing on the walls.
00:22:47 Hannah Peel – Emergence In Nature
(from the album *Fir Wave*) KMP Music Ltd.
Emerald forest canopy at dawn, where sunlight pierces through leaves in sharp, crystalline beams. Tiny bioluminescent particles rise like fireflies in reverse, forming organic patterns that pulse and expand across moss-covered branches in rhythmic waves.
00:26:42 Garden Gate – A Dream Within a Dream
(appears on the album *Edgar Allan Poe*) Library Of The Occult label.
Endless nested corridors of antique bookshelves under flickering candlelight. Pages flutter open on their own, revealing layered dreamscapes: oceans within oceans, skies folding into more skies, each frame dissolving into the next like ink in water.
00:29:13 ena b. – Birds Dance
(from the album *Night Walk*) Secuencias Temporales label
A twilight meadow encircled by ancient willows. Hundreds of shadowy birds lift in unison, their wings tracing glowing arabesques against a bruised purple sky, spiraling upward in harmonious loops that mirror invisible currents of wind.
00:34:05 ANNABEL [lee] – Cat’s Eye
(from the album*DECAPODA*) Buried Treasure label
A velvet-black room illuminated only by a single luminous green cat’s eye gemstone floating at eye level. Refractions scatter emerald light across floating dust motes and half-seen feline silhouettes prowling along the edges of perception.
00:37:06 Daniella Tourgeman, Tomer Baruch – Mistor
(from the album *שפת עולם*) Kame’a Music label
Ancient stone alleyways in a fog-shrouded Mediterranean city at predawn. Soft amber lanterns cast trembling pools of light on dew-wet cobblestones, where whispers of mist curl around arched doorways hiding secrets in shadow.
00:41:34 Castle If – Missing 404
(from the album *darknet*)
A glitchy, pixelated library floating in digital void. Empty bookshelves flicker erratically, pages dissolving into error-code rain that falls upward, while a lone cursor blinks insistently in the center of an unreachable, cracked screen.
00:44:15 Sachi Kobayashi – Nostalgia
(from the album *More Than Just A Dream*) Stereoscenic Records.
A faded childhood bedroom bathed in warm afternoon sun through lace curtains. Old photographs on the wall slowly develop reverse—colors draining away—while a music box melody unwinds in slow motion, dust motes suspended like frozen memories.
00:49:26 Me Lost Me – Real World
(from the album RPG) Upset The Rhythm label.
A bustling urban street viewed through rain-streaked window glass at night. Neon signs blur into watercolor streaks of pink and cyan, pedestrians dissolve into abstract shapes, while reflections in puddles show an alternate, quieter reality beneath.
00:52:23 Little Dragon, April + VISTA – Layers
(from the album *Slipping Into Color*) Ninja Tune label.
Translucent geological strata glowing in deep earth tones underground. Each layer pulses with different hues—indigo, amber, rose—shifting and overlapping like sedimentary memories, with faint bioluminescent veins threading through the rock.
00:55:46 The Mistys – Nervous Mirror
(from the album *Situations | Useless Mouths*) Castles In Space label.
A cracked vanity mirror in a deserted ballroom under chandelier light. Reflections multiply infinitely, each version showing subtle distortions: trembling hands, shifting expressions, fractured eyes staring back with quiet unease.
00:59:42 marine eyes, IKSRE – Forgiveness
(from the album *Nurture*) Past Inside the Present (PITP)
Soft ocean waves lapping at a moonlit shore lined with sea glass. Gentle tides carry away shards of colored light, smoothing rough edges over time, while a pale horizon glows with quiet, healing luminescence.
01:04:36 Sababa 5 & Canay Doğan – Gaip
(from the singel *Gaip / Seher*) Batov Records
A bustling Istanbul bazaar at golden hour, viewed through haze of incense smoke. Spices spill in vibrant pyramids, lanterns sway overhead casting warm patterns on tiled floors, while distant calls blend into a hypnotic, wandering rhythm.
Ode to the fem
00:00:00 Patricia Wolf – The Grotto
(from the album See-Through)
Balmat records.
Soft emerald light filters through a hidden cave entrance, illuminating dripping stalactites that gleam like wet crystals. Shadows shift gently across moss-covered stone walls as faint ripples spread across a shallow turquoise pool. Pale vines curl downward, touching the water’s surface, while distant echoes suggest unseen chambers opening further in.
00:02:54 marine eyes – suddenly green
(from the album to belong)
Past Inside the Present.
Early morning fog lifts from rolling hills, revealing fresh blades of grass sparkling with dew under a pale sky. Sunlight breaks through in soft patches, turning the landscape a vivid, almost luminous shade of spring green. Distant wildflowers sway lightly, and the air feels newly alive with quiet renewal.
00:05:50 IKSRE – Granite
(from the album Solar Return: Golden Hour Mix)
Imaginary North.
Ancient rock faces rise stark against a vast, open sky at dusk, their rough surfaces etched with veins of quartz that catch fading golden light. Wind moves across the stone, carrying subtle grains of dust, while the horizon blurs into warm amber tones, evoking timeless solidity and quiet endurance.
00:09:01 Panic Girl – Feathers Of Hope
(from the album Memories)
i u we records.
Delicate white feathers drift slowly downward through golden afternoon light, catching gentle currents in an open meadow. They settle softly on tall grass stems, some twirling upward again before landing, surrounded by distant wild blooms and a sense of uplifting lightness.
00:11:26 Volker Rapp – Out of my Mind
(from the album Blade Runner 2099)
Cyclical Dreams.
Neon reflections shimmer across rain-slicked streets in a futuristic cityscape at night, with towering holographic billboards flickering in electric blues and pinks. Distant flying vehicles streak overhead, their lights trailing like comets, while the scene pulses with synthetic glow and detached introspection.
00:11:58 Andrea Cichecki – Different Step
(from the album Drawn Into The Edge Effect)
Castles In Space.
Footsteps trace an irregular path along a narrow coastal ledge at twilight, where waves crash below against dark rocks. Mist rises from the sea, blending with soft purple hues in the sky, and small stones shift underfoot, marking a deliberate yet wandering rhythm.
00:15:24 glo – kenóō
(from the album associated with experimental/ambient contexts, often standalone or mix-featured)
Empty temple halls stretch into dim distance, lit only by faint lanterns casting long shadows on wooden floors. Incense smoke curls lazily upward, dissolving into stillness, while subtle echoes of distant chimes linger in vast, open space.
00:21:22 Sachi Kobayashi – Healing
(from the album Weathervane)
Stereoscenic Records.
Gentle sunlight filters through a canopy of leaves in a quiet forest clearing, dappling the ground with moving patterns of gold. A soft wind stirs wild grasses and small white flowers, carrying a sense of calm restoration that spreads outward like slow-spreading warmth.
00:24:31 Amorphous Androgynous – Meadows
(from the album associated with their ambient/electronic works, often A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble series context)
Wide open fields stretch under a vast blue sky, dotted with clusters of wildflowers swaying in a warm breeze. Butterflies drift lazily between blooms, and distant tree lines shimmer in heat haze, evoking endless peaceful expanse.
00:27:42 the black Albumen – provokovieff
(from the album associated with Buried Treasure releases)
Buried Treasure.
Abstract geometric shapes float in deep black void, slowly rotating and intersecting with faint glowing edges in crimson and violet. Forms distort and reform like liquid metal, creating tension through precise yet unpredictable motion.
00:30:09 Pogo – Alice (Extended)
(from the album Broken Beats & Magic Snacks or extended rework context)
Vibrant cartoon woodlands come alive with swirling colors: oversized mushrooms glow in neon pinks and blues, teacups float mid-air, and checkerboard paths twist into impossible loops. Madcap elements whirl together in playful, accelerating chaos.
00:33:13 Emily A. Sprague – Horizon
(from the album Mount Vision)
RVNG Intl.
A flat, endless ocean meets a pale sky at dawn, with thin layers of pastel clouds drifting low. Subtle waves lap forward, reflecting soft rose and lavender tones that gradually brighten, holding a meditative line of infinite calm.
00:39:13 Scott Gilmore – Subtle Vertigo
(from the album Subtle Vertigo)
Spiraling staircases ascend into misty heights within an old tower, their steps worn smooth and bathed in diffused light from narrow windows. Shadows curve along curved walls, inducing a gentle, disorienting pull upward.
00:43:35 Cate Brooks – Curig
(from the album Horizons or related Ghost Box-inspired works)
Rolling Welsh hills under overcast skies, with ancient stone walls dividing emerald fields. Sheep graze quietly, and faint mist clings to distant ridges, evoking rural solitude and timeless pastoral quiet.
00:48:38 Tim Shiel – Between Ends (feat. Lonelyspeck)
(from the album Glowing Pains: Music From The Gardens Between)
Spirit Level
Twilight bridges connect shadowy urban fragments, suspended over dark water where city lights reflect in fractured lines. Echoing vocal fragments drift across the scene, marking a liminal space of transition and unresolved emotion.
00:50:09 Dean Honer, Supreme Vagabond Craftsman – I Saw The Frogman
(from the album Frogman)
A surreal pond at midnight, illuminated by moonlight: a humanoid figure with frog-like features emerges halfway from the water, wearing an old coat, staring curiously. Reeds sway around lily pads, blending whimsy with eerie folklore.
00:53:11 Hong Kong In The 60s – Disintegration, The Advisory Circle Reshape
(from the album Disintegration or reshape series)
Old film reels flicker with decaying 1960s Hong Kong street scenes: neon signs buzz and blur, crowds dissolve into grainy static, and colors bleed outward in slow analog decay, reshaped into haunting nostalgia.
00:56:08 Anita Tatlow – in hallowed spaces
(from the album the farthest star)
slow echo.
Sunlight streams through tall arched windows in an empty cathedral, illuminating dust motes dancing in golden beams. Stone pillars rise into shadow, and faint reverb carries the sense of sacred, resonant emptiness.
00:59:34 Lisa Bella Donna – Big Briar Cove
(from the album *Moogmentum (Presented by the Bob Moog Foundation)
*)
Thick briar thickets encircle a hidden cove along a rugged coastline, where tangled vines climb over weathered rocks. Waves roll in gently below, and wildflowers peek through thorns, creating a secluded, overgrown sanctuary.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 182
04 March 2026
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…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 179
23 February 2026
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 179. 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.
A quick shout out to the new followers Mitxoda a Belgian based independent music project, Solar Eclipse who does massively popular techno sets. Carlostanos a Derbyshire beats and HipHop DJ. and Nick May who has just started a Mixcloud project called The Cinematic Ambient Chillout Show, which is exactly what it is and it’s great. Cheers guys.
We float tonight through pools of ambient electronic, modular wanderings, synthwave echoes, some cosmic angles, Modern classical inflections, drone undertows, and the odd burst of contemporary jazz. Labels flicker such as: Moolakii Club Audio Interface, Guruguru Records, whitelabrecs, and Third kind Records just to name a few. Places scattered from Craigavon to Baltimore, Portland to Marseille.
The longest stretch in the selection comes from Willebrant. His track clocking in at 11 and a half minutes. The shortest by dogs versus shadows snaps past in a flash.
We start off with a piece from TVCL 09 by me, called Decay Cars Suffice which is a What3Words coordination to a spot in the backyard of a flat in Dublin where I spent my teens. The album compiles 16 tracks of surreal ambient electronics drawn from episodes 157–171 of my Virtual Cassette Library series, delivering hypnotic drift of genre-bending textures for introspective listening.
That was me under my alter ego / childhood nickname Trevlad and the track, Decay Cars Suffice.
Next from the album Harvard Sentences 5 by Moray Newlands which got my album of the day recently, transforms ten classic phonetically balanced test sentences from the 1940s Harvard Sentences list into concise, two-minute pentatonic piano sketches, each built from just five notes and five looping patterns with subtle effects for a minimalist, meditative charm. The result is a quietly intriguing and elegant series of pieces that blend the surreal neutrality of standardized speech phrases with gentle, repetitive piano elegance, creating a hypnotic and rewarding listen ideal for focused contemplation or background serenity.
I’ve chosen the track A king ruled the state in the early days.
That was Moray Newlands with A king ruled the state in the early days.
Now, All Roads Lead to Polesworth by Imogen Baker also known as Enofa is a vibrant 15-track journey through gently psychedelic futurism, blending half-remembered 90s ecstasy clubland euphoria with retrofuturist electronic pulses, hi-NRG rhythms, and effortless melodies that feel like a rediscovered mixtape drifting through a lucid dream. From fervent acid-tinged dancefloor anthems to chillaxed ambient comedowns, the album weaves an eclectic yet cohesive tapestry of IDM, ambient house, and experimental textures, highlighted by quirky titles and a nostalgic yet forward-looking energy that’s both invigorating and deeply immersive. Out on Third Kind Records
Here is the opening track Anti-Entropic Chamber
That was Enofa with Anti-Entropic Chamber
Next a new track yet a dive into my musical past. In my teens my Dad and I would go to Jazz clubs in Dublin and this next piece is the kind of jazz we bonded over. The kind of jazz that deserved a pint. Anyway The Description Is Not The Described by Nathaniel Cross is a soulful four-track debut EP that fuses sophisticated contemporary jazz arranging with vibrant threads of bruk, calypso, dancehall, neo-soul, hip hop, gospel, afro-cuban, and West African influences, drawing deeply from his British-Caribbean roots to create an instrumental sound that’s both groove-rich and emotionally resonant. Tracks like the grief-tinged “Goodbye For Now” and uplifting “Light In The Darkness” showcase terrific horn writing, lovely solos, and a warm collective energy, delivering a thoughtful exploration of loss, resilience, positivity, and inner validation beneath the Krishnamurti-inspired title’s reminder that labels can never capture true essence. Out on First Word Records
This is the opener Goodbye For Now
That was Nathaniel Cross – Goodbye For Now
Next from one of the labels that has been supporting this channel with releases for years, the always outstanding Woodford Halse. Errata by John Haughey & Tarotplane is the latest offering on the label. A captivating 9-track collaboration of kosmische-leaning ambient electronics, weaving lush synths, keys, guitars, and bass into expansive, drifting soundscapes that evoke weightless drift, spiraling echoes, and a gentle promise of transcendence amid cold introspection. Tracks like the title piece, “Pulling the Cosmos Closer,” and “Begetting Green” build hypnotic layers of delay-drenched textures and rhythmic subtlety, blending Baltimore’s Tarotplane guitar-infused cosmic pulses with John’s Northern Irish electronic warmth for an immersive, otherworldly listen that’s both meditative and quietly radiant—perfect for surrendering to loops of light and space.
This is the track Impossible Vistas
That was John Haughey & Tarotplane – Impossible Vistas
Now. Who’s To Say? by Thought Bubble (Chris Cordwell, Peter Gelf, and Nick Raybould) is a beguiling 7-track electro-psych adventure that fuses electronica, analogue percussion, and sharp songwriting into expansive, genre-stretching soundscapes, evoking the heady psychedelic sprawl of early ’70s cosmic rock while staying firmly anchored in contemporary themes of fractured reality, media distortion, and surreal resilience. With tracks like the luminous “Let The Light,” satirical “Your Call,” and mind-bending “Lightfoot” / “A Man Split In Two” delivering out-there yet alluring grooves, lyrical depth, and a seamless blend of electronics with live instrumentation, the album emerges as an irresistibly immersive and thought-provoking listen that’s both nostalgic in its expansiveness and strikingly present in its edge.
I give you Let The Light by Thought Bubble out on Moolakii Club Audio Interface
That was Thought Bubble with Let The Light
Next Soft Shakes by Go Kurosawa marks his captivating first solo album, a self-produced, instinct-driven collection of 8 tracks where the ex-Kikagaku Moyo drummer/vocalist plays every instrument—from motorik pulses and Kraftwerkian synths to acoustic loops, gentle vocals (in English and Japanese), marimba, trumpet, and more—in a playful, subconscious jam-session spirit that bridges East-West, electronic, and organic textures. From the luminous, Suicide-like opener “moon, please” through the lush, building “green thing,” rhythmic “autowalk,” and breezy closer “cloud rock,” the album unfolds as a loose, alive sketchbook of surprising, layered grooves and emotional warmth, evoking psychedelic minimalism, ambient drifts, and ritualistic joy that’s both introspective and irresistibly danceable in solitude— a fresh, “WOW”-inducing gem of personal freedom post-band life. Out on Guruguru Brain
I give you the track sada no umi.
That was Go Kurosawa* with sada no umi
Next, a regular of the show. Willebrant. The Knight Seas (the ambient field drone project of Naarm/Melbourne bassist and producer Karl Willebrant) is a deeply somnolent 5-track collection of slowed + reverb reworkings from his 2020 release A Knight on a Boat plus a reimagined “A Night Crossing,” transforming original bass, synth, ebow guitar, and electronic elements into vast, hazy drone-ambient expanses tagged with dark ambient, minimalist, meditation, and soundscape vibes. Tracks like the epic 16-minute “The Valiant at Arms (slowed and reverb)” and the oceanic “A Knight on a Boat (slowed and reverb)” evoke knightly voyages across misty seas through layered, echoing textures and gentle drift, creating an atmospheric, introspective immersion that’s profoundly calming, subtly melancholic, and ideal for late-night contemplation or dreamlike surrender.
This is Willebrant – The Gathered Few (Lakeside Fire Mix – slowed and reverb)
That was The Gathered Few (Lakeside Fire Mix – slowed and reverb) by Willebrant
Now Dramatis Personae by Saïph (aka Pablo Diarra) is a poetic six-track digital LP released December 1, 2025, on Songe Anima Records, clocking in at around 29 minutes of introspective, surreal soundscapes that blend aquatic dream logic, nostalgic drifts, and minimalist electronic textures across pieces like the title track, multi-part “Psyché du figurant” variations, and the wistful “Nostalgia.” With French-titled evocations of submerged landscapes, trout-spirited guidance, and offerings to tomorrow’s scouts—paired with high-fidelity 24-bit mastering by Neel/Enisslab and artwork by William Jones—the album unfolds as a hushed, enigmatic meditation on inner roles, silence, and submerged revelation, perfect for deep-listening immersion in twilight reverie or quiet self-exploration.
This is Dramatis personae – Saïph
That was Saïph with Dramatis personae
Next Andromeda [CYD 0148] by Christian Wittman is a majestic 10-track space ambient voyage released January 2, on Cyclical Dreams, featuring Berlin School-inspired electronics, deep drones, and cosmic sound design that conjure vast interstellar voids, static-tinged shadows, and eternal whispers of forgotten galaxies through tracks named after stars, constellations, and nebulae like “Upsilon Persei,” “Mirach,” and “Blue Snowball Nebula.” Clocking in at over 54 minutes of timeless, expanding atmospheres—recorded in Paris across late 2024—the album masterfully evokes a sense of infinite drift and subtle darkness, where every tone feels like a dying signal flickering in the black between stars, delivering an immersive, meditative experience of profound depth and quiet grandeur ideal for stargazing contemplation or late-night cosmic surrender.
This is Upsilon Persei by Christian Wittman
That was Christian Wittman with Upsilon Persei.
Now to end the first half from Sven Laux.
Shades is a meticulously curated compilation marking Whitelabrecs’ 10-year anniversary, curated by label founder Harry Towell and pressed on striking green vinyl, serving as both a celebratory snapshot and conceptual milestone that traces the label’s evolution from handmade CDr beginnings to refined ambient artistry. Spanning deep drones, fractured tape loops, synth-clarinet interplay, and electro-acoustic sprawls on Side A before shifting to enveloping modern classical strings, atmospheric piano, trombone, and radio-tinged closers on Side B—featuring contributions from Low Altitude, blochemy, Clariloops, Andrew Heath, Sven Laux, Adrian Lane, Gustav Davidsson, and Glåsbird—the album weaves a cohesive tapestry of tonal contrast, quiet escapism, and immersive beauty that’s meditative, textural, and profoundly evocative of the label’s signature serene yet expansive soundworld.
This is When Rain Didn’t Come by Sven Laux
Opening side B. Electronic Phantoms by maya ongaku is the Fujisawa, Japan-based trio’s vibrant second EP (following their 2023 debut Approach to Anima), a six-track collection released in 2024, that channels live-jam energy from extensive touring into dancefloor-ready grooves blending synths, drum machines, fluid guitars, ethereal woodwinds, and organic percussion like maracas and flute. Tracks such as the hypnotic opener “Iyo no Hito,” driving “Anoyo Drive,” tender “Love with Phantom,” and the multi-part meditative “Meiso Ongaku” series explore human-machine symbiosis amid AI-era phantoms—fusing krautrock pulses, psychedelic warmth, and subtle unease into an uplifting, body-moving sound that’s both spiritually reflective and irresistibly rhythmic, perfectly capturing the band’s desire to make listeners dance while jamming in harmony with electronic “phantoms.”
This is the track Anoyo Drive by maya ongaku available on the Guruguru Brain label.
That was maya ongaku with Anoyo Drive
Hollow Headaches by dogs versus shadows aka Lee Pylon is a concise 16-track collection of experimental lo-fi hip hop and 90s-influenced electronica released August, 2024, on Third Kind Records, shifting from his earlier dark radiophonic hauntings to a unified set of beat workouts and atmospheric soundscapes that evoke the quiet magic of British urban liminality—night buses, empty sidings, wet subways, and forgotten corners. Short, evocative pieces like “Sprawlopoly,” “Back Of The Bins,” “Rizla Brollie,” and the title track conjure colourful, everyday grime through lo-fi textures, subtle hauntology nods, and enigmatic grooves, making it an ideal headphone companion for wandering ordinary streets and discovering hidden inspiration in the mundane, with bonus vinyl-mastered side-long mixes adding extra immersion. Out on Third Kind Records.
This is the track The Lovely Eye by dogs versus shadows
That was dogs versus shadows with The Lovely Eye.
I Can Guide You Through the Maze by schalter.exe (released February 13, on Moniker Eggplant) is an 8-track digital EP (~29 minutes) built entirely on the custom OPLoid FM-Synthesizer emulating the iconic OPL2/OPL3 chips of MS-DOS era sound cards, channeling raw, lo-fi FM tones into vivid sonic portraits of fictional computer games—from dense tactical realms and dystopian shadows to humorous, lighthearted excursions. Tracks like “welcome_1.mid,” “Emotional Main Title Theme,” “Skeletons rule the Earth,” and “Maze Corridors” revive the nostalgic charm of 8-bit adventure soundtracks with direct digital grit, experimental IDM/braindance flair, and a uniform yet richly varied palette that blends vaporwave haze, ambient drift, and retro-techno pulses into an immersive, text-parser-evoking journey that’s both playfully retro and intriguingly modern—perfect for late-night nostalgia dives or pixelated daydreams. Available via the Moniker Eggplant label.
This is Skeletons rule the Earth by schalter.exe.
That was schalter.exe with Skeletons rule the Earth
Now Nine Breaths by theAdelaidean (aka Sean Williams, #1 New York Times-bestselling author and award-winning poet) is a serene 10-track ambient/drone/minimalism opus released January 16, on Projekt Records, crafting soft, intricate beds of sustained drones and gently evolving synths to capture fleeting moments of everyday stillness—like dust in sunlight, rain-dancing leaves, or forest birdsong—while drawing conceptual inspiration from haiku’s single-breath brevity to explore profound emotional and visceral shifts in brief spans of time. With tracks ranging from concise meditations like “Loss” and “Spiraling Thought” to the vast, hour-long closer “Horizon,” accompanied by Williams’ own poems, the album creates safe, resonant sonic spaces of layered textures and subtle nuances that invite deep, lingering contemplation of the ordinary’s hidden depths, resulting in a hauntingly beautiful, introspective listen ideal for quiet reflection, late-night unwinding, or falling asleep to its gentle, shimmering embrace.

Next Subvert Yourself by No Arrival is a six-track EP from 2019 on the Bricolage label, delivering his signature blend of atmospheric rhythmic electronics and fragmented experimental soundscapes through warm melodic pulses, odd time signatures, sputtered bass, staggered percussion, splintered samples, vocal fragments, and organic backdrops that evoke digital disorder with an underground edge. Tracks like “New U,” “Group Flow,” “Play,” and “Universal Echo” create a bold, curious, and subculturally resonant affair—perfect for intelligent dancers seeking shifting directions, subtle unease, and immersive, ever-evolving grooves that feel both intimate and defiantly off-kilter.

A Point Blank Dream by The Home Current (Martin Jensen, the prolific Luxembourg-based Danish electronic artist) is a vibrant 14-track return to form—his first full album since 2024’s Tales From The Leisure League—released February 6, on Subexotic Records, bursting with chunky melody lines, bass-driven grooves, trademark twists and turns, and an “inner-city alien gang thriller” conceptual vibe that channels old-school THC energy akin to his early Poly Youth or Static Caravan eras. From punchy openers like “High Priests Of Nothing” and “Chew Unseen” to the evocative title track, the album delivers toe-tapping, grey-matter-tickling electronic excursions full of stylistic range, post-industrial echoes (with nods to Cabaret Voltaire’s fluid period), and playful yet thoughtful production—mastered and artworked by Dan Seville of Subexotic, with sleeve notes by Moonbuilding’s Neil Mason—making it a fresh, invigorating blast of vintage-yet-vital experimental electronica ideal for nocturnal drives or focused headphone immersion.

Before we head back to regular life. I’d just like to mention that there is about a Month left to get your entries in for the next compilation I’m putting together called Puzzles of the Psyche Exploring the intricate and enigmatic workings of the human mind, with tracks that delve into the depths of thought, emotion, and imagination. does that trigger a creative thought?
Getting enough subscribers to keep this channel going is frustrating. I’m always one subscriber away from the minimum for a Mixcloud payout. When I get one new subscriber I loose two. A gain two, I loose one. So the compilations are a help. I put in the time and the effort which makes sense but the fact that I still pay to do it doesn’t. So subscribe to the Mixcloud channel you get access to music only versions of the shows before they get released as well as the full back catalogue of 929 shows and mixes or grab a compilation on Bandcamp.
Now back to the show. To end this week Bones by Jogging House (Frankfurt-based ambient artist) is a warm, warbly eight-track collection released February 17, on Seil Records, crafted in single-take recordings straight to 1/4″ tape using a minimal setup of Digitakt II, Korg MS20, Cocoquantus, and other cozy analog gear like Solid Felt, Mood, Meraki, Bim & Bam. Tracks such as “Tourism,” “Janitor,” “Cement,” “Lantern,” “Upwind,” “Parker,” “Thread,” and “Know” unfold as glowing, airy ambient loops that gently waver like tidal drifts, fringed with soft analogue buzz and tape warmth, creating soft, cozy, meditative soundscapes that evoke intimate hardware-filled rooms and spontaneous, in-the-moment serenity—perfect for grounding daily life, quiet reflection, or sinking into lush, dreamy textures with subtle downtempo and lo-fi edges.
I leave you with the track Lantern by Jogging House Thanks for joining us. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178
15 February 2026
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 171
23 January 2026
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.

7 January 2026
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.”

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‑three of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Vent Making Diverts—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 unreleased track by myself which can only be heard here—so if you’re collecting the oddities and outliers, this one’s for you.
On the B side, we’ve got an exclusive from Mist Signals—Someday Soon—taken from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation Sleeplaboratory6.0, which drops on the 17th of January to celebrate the label’s tenth anniversary. A decade of quiet experiments, soft-focus soundscapes, and late-night headphone magic.
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.

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 drifts through funk, Idm, ambient drift, modular murmurs, rare views, puddles, mythology, and the occasional monkey. The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it.

“Greetings all. Episode one-five-three of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Bothered Sugars Expert. 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.

Evening all. Episode one-four-nine of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Window Invented Drain. That’s the track you can 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. Ninety minutes here, two virtual sides, forty-five minutes each. Fifteen tracks per set. No chatter, no interruptions. The music rolls on like a festival stage that turns—one act fading, another coming into view.
Tonight you’ll hear an exclusive from Paul Beaudoin with Ümlaut. Also music from Bruno Bavota, Wil Bolton, and a track that has disappeared from a release by The Form Group. Later on, another exclusive from Foster Neville. Rival Consoles, Erik Wøllo, and dogs versus shadows are in the mix. Plus a track by zerosummer which I can’t seem to locate—drop a comment if you know. Labels like whitelabrecs, Mahorka, and Third Kind Records are part of the current orbit, each one feeding into this library of sound.
If you’d like to be part of these missions, send your work to trevlad@gmail.com. Track links are at trevor.se, and marked in the Mixcloud timeline.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 148
27 November 2025
“Evening all. Episode one-four-eight of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Cook Hobble Recruited. That’s the track you can hear underneath, and, oddly enough, it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—up on YouTube if you’re curious.”
“I’m Trevor. Bringing you ninety minutes, two virtual sides, forty-five minutes each. Fifteen tracks per set. No chatter, no interruptions. Just the music, rolling on like a festival stage that turns—one act fading, another coming into view.” This episode has an exclusive track Karesansui by Wellington, New Zealand based artist CZiGO. Karesansui means “dry landscape” or “dry mountain water” and refers to a minimalist style of Japanese garden that uses rocks, gravel, and sand to represent natural landscapes like mountains, islands, and rivers without any water. These gardens, often found in Zen Buddhist temples, are designed for contemplation and meditation, symbolizing natural elements through careful arrangement and raked gravel patterns that mimic water. Karesansui is from the upcoming album Techno Feudal which drops December 12 on Machine Records.
” New friends joining us this episode like, Übung, Elastic colors, WarpCensor and Dissociative Identity Quartet.
