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.
Let Me by Djrum Rain streaked city windows at 4 a.m., reflecting blurred neon as intricate breakbeats and soulful piano fragments plead through dense, atmospheric layers, capturing the intimate ache of unspoken desire suspended in rain-lashed heartbeats.
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.
Kikagaku Moyo/幾何学模様 with Blanket Song from the album Masana Temples out on Fukuoka, Japan’s Guruguru Brain label.
Office Olympics by Dolphins of Venice Fluorescent-lit cubicles transformed into a surreal arena at after-hours, where quirky synth bounces and playful beats turn staplers into javelins and printers into hurdles, freezing the gleeful rebellion of corporate daydreams in a single, mischievous leap.
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.
Ian Boddy & Chris Carter with Sub-Aura (2025 Remaster) from the album Caged (25th Anniversary Edition) out on Ian Boddy curated label DiN.
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 177
08 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 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 177. Good night.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 168
15 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.
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…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 144
21 November 2025

“Evening all. Episode one-four-four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Decades Copying Observer. 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. Ninety minutes here, two 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.”
“Keys in focus this time: D sharp, E flat, and C minor. New friends joining us, Solar Phasing, Bary Center, and Futurum. familiar names returning, Floating Points, The Future Sound of London, The Twelve Hour Foundation, Ian Boddy and more. labels like Cyclical Dreams, Mahorka, Mortality Tables, Buried Treasure, Projekt Records, and Ingrown Records keeping the whole thing alive. They’re the soul of the show, really. There’s even an exclusive track from WHI Recordings from the album General Purpose Electronic Sound Vol.4 dropping December 5th.”
“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. The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre-order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. And the first compilation, Murmurs in the Mist, is out now, with forty-five artists involved.”
“Every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”

Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 119
///falls.mailing.initial.

Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve tuned into Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library, Episode 119—Falls Mailing Initial. A name, a signal, and a location: ///falls.mailing.initial. Drop it into What3Words and you’ll find the coordinates of this episode’s visual transmission.
Tonight, we embark on a 90-minute journey through sound—crafted for walking meditations, mental meanderings, and quiet communion with the cosmos. No commentary between tracks. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion.
🌌 The path begins with Fu Kaisha’s Hjalli, gliding into Micado’s Landscapes with Gemstones, and Trevlad’s Expansive Waves 3. From Odin Kaban’s search to Sankt Otten’s shadowed brew, the frequencies ripple outward. Field Lines Cartographer, Sessa, and The Soulless Party guide us deeper into the fold.
🌀 At the metaphysical halfway mark, the signal flips. Side B opens with Dark Fidelity Hi Fi’s Sunlight Child, then stretches across the expanse with Fingerwolf, Cartas de Japón, and Larry Toadman. From Isien’s spooky entanglement to Teeth Of The Sea’s Artemis, the journey crescendos into Exit Chamber’s In the Darkness, Hope, and Christian Wittman’s Threshold of Silence.
💌 Want to be part of the transmission? Send your art, your sound, your signal to trevlad@gmail.com. Purchase paths are always illuminated at trevor.se and marked in each episode’s timeline.
🎶 Support the signal: Pre-order the 6th TVCL album on Bandcamp. It drops when we hit 17 tracks. Subscribe for just $3/month and unlock 845 archived shows—over 1,200 hours of sonic exploration.
🧙♂️ And don’t forget to join Nanogod, the wizard of words, on the Mixcloud timeline. Every comment, every like, every vibration helps keep the channel alive.
🚀 So now—secure those headphones. Let time dissolve. Let the frequencies claim you.
