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…
