Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 212
Hypnotic and dreamlike, often sitting in liminal spaces.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 212 of the Virtual Cassette Library. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
This episode is based on the track “Tower of Butterflies” by Innis Chonnel & Loris S. Sarid from the album “Looking For Mount Sylvan” which dropped on the 10th of March via The 12th Isle label. Also a massive thank you to Driftworks, Lunar Module which is the CD imprint of Castles in Space, Audiobulb, Amulet of Tears, Trem 77, and Third Kind Records for sponsoring the episode with material.
This mix carries a moody, introspective, and slightly surreal nocturnal atmosphere. It moves through themes of isolation, transformation, thresholds, and fragile beauty. There’s a strong contrast between cold urban desolation and organic, fluttering delicacy — from concrete fields and body worms to towers of butterflies and sunlit solitude. The overall feeling is hypnotic and dreamlike, often sitting in liminal spaces (half-awake, melting forms, interrupted signals), with a subtle undercurrent of unease balanced by moments of quiet wonder and graceful movement.
If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
One side flip, just the music.
Side A
00:00:00 Ghostloop – Concrete fields
Bleak yet atmospheric ambient depicting empty urban sprawl. Grey, expansive drones and subtle industrial textures create a haunting sense of isolation in man-made wilderness.
00:04:30 The Green Kingdom – The Owls
Mysterious, nocturnal ambient with soft, watchful tones. Gentle rustling textures and warm synths evoke hidden eyes in the dark and the quiet wisdom of the night.
00:06:37 Camp of Wolves – Little Black Eyes
Intimate, shadowy ambient with a feral edge. Delicate yet unsettling layers suggest small, gleaming eyes watching from the undergrowth—curious and slightly menacing.
00:10:33 Saïph – Psyché du figurant (128)
Abstract, hypnotic ambient/electronic exploration. Minimal rhythms and fragmented textures probe the psyche of an anonymous background figure—detached and surreal.
00:13:10 Ida Urd & Ingri Høyland– Melting Cubes
Fluid, dissolving ambient with geometric forms gradually breaking down. Soft, melting tones and crystalline details create a beautiful, impermanent sonic sculpture.
00:15:24 Future Children – New mythology part 3
Speculative, glowing ambient weaving contemporary myths. Warm, hopeful layers and subtle narrative movement suggest emerging stories for a new generation.
00:22:18 The Black Dog – Sleep Deprivation 39: Threshold Ov Wakefulness
Disorienting, liminal ambient from the legendary duo. Pulsing, sleep-deprived textures sit on the fragile edge between dreams and reality—tense and immersive.
00:25:53 Phexioenesystems – Body Worm
Organic, microscopic body-horror-tinged ambient. Creeping textures and intimate biological sounds evoke parasites, transformation, and internal hidden worlds.
Side B
00:30:33 Neuro… No Neuro – Words On Branches
Delicate, branching ambient with organic-electronic hybridity. Gentle, tree-like structures and whispered fragments feel like thoughts growing naturally in a quiet forest.
00:34:46 Innis Chonnel & Loris S. Sarid– Tower of Butterflies
Light, fluttering ambient full of movement and grace. Swirling, kaleidoscopic layers build an elegant, fragile tower of color and motion.
00:39:28 Loris S. Sarid – One Million Streams (feat. Tony Morris)
Flowing, multi-layered ambient celebrating convergence. Rich, interwoven textures suggest countless individual streams merging into something vast and beautiful.
00:40:22 Teatre – Frostbite
Cold, crystalline ambient with a biting edge. Sharp yet beautiful frozen tones capture the painful beauty and isolation of extreme chill.
00:44:01 Trem 77 – Glister (Overland mix)
Shimmering, overland ambient with subtle rhythmic drive. Glistening textures and wide-open movement evoke traveling across sunlit or moonlit terrain.
00:46:49 Spectrical – Sunlit Solitude
Warm, radiant ambient focused on peaceful isolation. Golden, glowing drones and soft reflections create a comforting sense of being alone in bright, open space.
00:53:11 Sleep Chrysalis – Smoke Signal, Interupted
Hazy, fragile ambient with broken communication. Drifting smoke-like textures and gentle interruptions evoke messages fading into the distance.
Cleaning Warm Fruits
Gentle, intimate, reflective, precise, immersive, ethereal, delicate, organic, mystical, moody, restrained, melancholic and nostalgic.
00:01:00 CLAIR, Jude Rogers – Love
Spoken-word house piece with Jude Rogers reciting intimate lines over warm, inviting grooves. Gentle, danceable, and thoughtfully human.
00:06:30 idiiom – Real Sad
Experimental vocal electronics blending processed voice, technology, and emotion. Intimate, textural, and quietly haunting.
00:10:38 Hverheij – The Pain Inside
Atmospheric, introspective soundscaping with emotional depth. Reflective and cinematic, evoking inner landscapes.
00:14:15 Neuro… No Neuro – Cleaning is Key
Abstract electronic minimalism with glitchy, hypnotic patterns. Precise, arid, and subtly unsettling.
00:15:20 Future Children – A glimpse of the sea
Dreamy, disorganized ambient drift with watery textures and loose, exploratory feel. Immersive and slightly unmoored.
00:17:20 Hildegard von Bingen, Micah Frank, Chet Doxas – O Vis Eternitatis – Kodomo Remix
Modern ambient reinterpretation of medieval chant. Ethereal, spacious, and reverent with subtle electronic warmth.
00:21:15 Ümlaut – Because you are alive
Contemplative experimental composition focused on presence and silence. Delicate, thoughtful, and quietly uplifting.
00:35:55 Martin Archer & Claire McAllister – Fruits In All Directions
Free-jazz/electronic hybrid with playful, colourful improvisation. Organic, inventive, and joyfully directionless.
00:38:25 Moray Newlands – (Put me in) the red red earth
Earthy, ritualistic ambient folk with rich, grounded textures. Mystical and deeply rooted.
00:45:23 Lying Cat – Hanbreya
Weirdly beautiful electronic with occult-tinged atmosphere. Moody, textured, and intriguingly off-kilter.
00:50:10 Elinch – grau03
Minimal, grey-hued synthesizer study. Restrained, atmospheric, and patiently hypnotic.
00:51:45 Joseph Shabason – Parks & Demos
Warm, jazzy ambient with saxophone-led introspection. Melancholic, nostalgic, and beautifully blurred.
00:55:25 Miguel Otero & Raquel Pavón – Too warm for the yellow butterflies
Gentle, summery acoustic/electronic piece. Intimate, hazy, and delicately evocative.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 162
1 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, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑six‑two of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Mugs Softest Owners—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words.
Before we begin, a very warm Happy New Year to you. Whether you’re listening on a walk, in the quiet of the early hours, or hiding from the world with a pair of headphones, I hope 2026 brings you peace, curiosity, and a few unexpected sonic discoveries.
We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun. And a quick note: the tracks by Simon McCorry and Gregory Paul Mineeff in this episode are exclusives from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation sleeplaboratory6.0. Apologies to Harry for playing so many pieces from this wonderful release, which drops tomorrow, the 2nd of January. When something’s good, it’s hard not to share it.
Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right.
The rest of the show wanders through kosmische corners, microtonal detours, lullabies, croquettes, mythology, therapy, vortexes, and the occasional snow‑dusted memory. The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it.
So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”

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. Also familiar names including, Future Children, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan, Robert Rich, and, Oceanographer. Labels like Cyclical Dreams, Mahorka, I Low You Records, Astra Solaria Recordings, Buried Treasure, Adventurous Music, Imaginary North, Castles in Space and more keeping the whole thing alive. They’re the soul of the show, really.”
