Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 286
https://www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-286/
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 286. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
A tender, slightly wondrous ambient journey through closed-eye geometries, night markets, living systems, and working-class fanfares.
Side A rearranges itself behind the eyelids, then drifts through Toronto lanterns, cello architecture, space-IDM bloom, pre-language fingertips, and a well of the world. Side B opens with Ramsgate vocal collage and gentle signs, holds the line, raises a fanfare for the working man, conjures pagan stones among the Weaver Hills, and ends with a star-song demo from the cliff top.
Overall mood: Warm, curious, and quietly celebratory — mixing intimate care, city-night haze, and nostalgic industrial glow. Perfect for late evenings, headphones, or sitting still while things change behind closed eyes.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,117 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
The tape unspools its visions.

00:19:45 Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota – Fingertips

00:22:50 Green-House – Well of the World
A well of the world opens in joyous layered synthesis. Green-House – Well of the World. Melody and harmonics helix together. Kaleidoscopic guitar, bubbling synths and orchestral radiance mimic larger living systems, droplets magnifying Yosemite and Inyo into auditory microcosms of wonder.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
00:29:59 Lone Bison – Vocal Collage
Voices sampled and sung form a collage beside the Ramsgate sea. Lone Bison – Vocal Collage. Hydrasynth textures pack into concise songs, wonky piano loops and groove-based jams rising from park recordings and garage-rock guitar.

The Iron Man reaches the cliff top while stars begin their song. Mike Dickinson – Bonus Track – Song of The Stars (Demo). Microkorg, Maschine, Odyssey and Minilogue voices soundtrack the outsider who saves the world, Mrs Moore’s desk-climbing dragon still vivid in the telling.

A reflective, slightly melancholic ambient journey through vanishing places, last forests, and hovering resonances.
Side A opens in dense brainforests and soft sanctuaries, then blooms through disk errors, chosen confusion, Tokyo pavilions, and tired roads halfway from nowhere. Side B drifts into possible villages, orbital last forests, electric roads of trials, chalk coastal paths, invisible hovering worlds, and ends in the hazed industrial interzone of Motor City.
Overall mood: Contemplative, atmospheric, and quietly expansive — full of soft disappearances, preserved light, and gentle forward motion. Perfect for deep listening, late-night reflection, or drifting through imagined landscapes.
The tape unspools its visions.
Woodwind and spidery guitars open a dense forest of homemade percussion. Polypores – Seeing Absolutely Everything, Then Never Seeing It Again. Tenor recorder, piano, drums and kalimba rise into insectile textures and weaving repetitive melodies. The Brainforest expands in childlike layered motion, every surface alive with loose and slack exploration.
Sanctuary forms in swirling so-longs and dreamy murmured goodbyes. Halftribe – Sanctuary. Immersive tones drift through quiet open space, the field settling into soft reflective presence.
A disk error blooms into luminous data patterns. maps and diagrams – bloom.Solr- X a.41 [disk.err]. Signal fragments rearrange across open digital ground, each one expanding into new radiant forms.
Confusion gathers around a chosen image. Suncastle – Confusion. Sonic colours rise to meet the visual surface, opening into shared imaginative light.
A pavilion stands inside the sleeping Cityfield of Tokyo. Ryu Oshi – Denizen 3 — Pavilion. Offerings of orange light drift from a moving train window. Kami presence expands through electric piano and synthesizer duets, the urban subconscious glowing in mutual respect.
Tired tires roll across an unknown road of blurred memories. Far away Nebraska – And so it begins…. Ringing fills the open air while a storm moves through the mind. Halfway from nowhere the landscape stretches forward in steady motion.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
A village appears in quiet mirror light where realities fade into new truths. Nahal Kavand – The village where I might have lived one day. Field recordings from Tehran rise through heavy processing into thin layered soundscapes. Disappearances and vanishings open across the surface, time echoing deep within existence.
The last forests of Earth drift through silent orbital chambers. vOLKER rAPP – The last forests of Earth. ARP 2600 and SEM tones expand across vast greenhouse domes. The landscape holds the soft glow of preserved green light moving through space.
A road of trials opens in electric layered motion. Whettman Chelmets – Road of Trials (Electric Mix). Shoegaze ambient textures rise into wide reflective fields, the path expanding in luminous presence.
Beachy Head rises along the foot of the Downs under muted Ravilious colours. Gilroy Mere – Beachy Head. Train windows carry undulating textures, tempos and modulations. Clarinet, trumpet, flute and voice drift through chalk paths and coastal light, crystallizing into open sonic form.
Hovering resonance maps an invisible world drawn in wind and granular synthesis. Philippe Deschamps, The Goodnight Project – The Hovering Resonance. Organic drones and drifting textures expand across distant melodies, opening the boundaries of the ephemeral.
Motor City opens in dusty drum machinery and heavy echo. Sand Circles – Entering Motor City. Analog synths and derelict metropolis atmospheres rise through white sand, downtown haze and distant lights. The interzone expands in hazed industrial reverie.
The visions complete their circle.

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 277. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
I’m trying something new by not introducing the artists, but instead incorporation their work into an incatation of sorts.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,104 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers receive the expanding series of 3 hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
A dreamlike, luminous ambient journey through nameless cities, rising rain, forgotten trails, and golden light.
Side A drifts from violet fog and modular labyrinths into voltage nests, Apalachee trails, hauntological villages, deep indigo night, and lost map coordinates. Side B lifts with rain falling upward, vast interlocking machines, Bach-coloured bird calls, sideways golden rays, wide unknowable valleys, and a single golden earring turning in zero gravity.
Overall mood: Contemplative, otherworldly, and quietly radiant — full of soft wonder, spectral warmth, and gentle expansion. Perfect for deep listening, late-night immersion, or drifting through imagined landscapes.
Side A
00:00:00 Almost Random – Night at the Nameless city
A city without name rises from violet fog. Docks of Celephais stretch into endless water the colour of old mercury. Towers lean at angles that fold inward. Almost Random – Night at the Nameless City. Modular currents braid through the streets. A single lead voice climbs like a pale recorder note, threading the labyrinth where colours bloom outside the spectrum and a lecturer’s silhouette watches from every window at once.
00:05:07 LOULA YORKE – Broody
The roof opens. A nest of voltage and feathers pulses with heat. LOULA YORKE – Broody. Shared-system circuits glow amber and emerald. Nestlings open their beaks in perfect rhythm with the rising sequences. The air fills with starling-shaped waveforms that scatter across the studio ceiling and reform as constellations.
00:07:57 Dionisaf – Forgotten Trails of the Apalachee (ft. Liesbet Leroy)
Cotton fields unroll under a sky of molten copper. An ageing horse moves through tall grass that whispers in kalimba tones. Dionisaf – Forgotten Trails of the Apalachee. Liesbet’s flute drifts above the restored guitar like river mist carrying the scent of magnolias and dry October leaves. Forest trails glow with soft bioluminescence. Seven years of Mississippi light gather into a single warm horizon that keeps expanding.
00:10:03 Belbury Poly – The People
A village appears between the hedges, built entirely of library jingles and children’s television ghosts. Belbury Poly – The People. Minimoog laughter curls through the lanes. Melodica and psaltery ring from open windows. Vines part to reveal Pan’s Garden where the InterCity 125 glides past in slow silver arcs and every face in the square turns toward the listener with the same knowing smile.
00:13:34 Euan Alexander Millar & Henrik Meierkord – Shades Of Night
Night gathers in layers of deep indigo and charcoal. Euan Alexander Millar & Henrik Meierkord – Shades Of Night. Cello tones stretch into long translucent ribbons. Spoken words rise from within the drones and dissolve back into them. The entire field breathes at the pace of a single sustained note.
00:17:19 maps and diagrams – Echo.atlas-B2 [lost.wav]
A map unfolds made of missing coordinates. maps and diagrams – Echo.atlas-B2 [lost.wav]. Waves of pure signal drift across blank paper, leaving faint luminous traces that rearrange themselves into new continents every few seconds.
Side B
00:23:01 Spirituals – Rain Falling Up
Rain lifts from the ground in slow silver columns and continues upward into a sky the colour of candle flame. Spirituals – Rain Falling Up. Pedal steel and vibraphone form soft glowing orbs that float beside the rising water. Field recordings and voice memos drift through the air as tiny points of warm light, each one a living candle carried through the open dark.
00:27:18 Dadanaut – Interferenzen
Gears the size of towers interlock across a black-and-gold cityscape. Dadanaut – Interferenzen. Workers and superiors move inside the same vast machine. Sparks of freedom leap between the teeth of the wheels. The entire structure hums with the low frequency of relief seeking its shape.
00:32:09 Pointe du Lac – Herr Gott, nun schleuß den Himmel auf (BWV617)
An empty living room fills with the calls of exotic birds that exist only as samples. Pointe du Lac – Herr Gott, nun schleuß den Himmel auf (BWV617). Simple arpeggios cross and shift like interlocking stained-glass windows. Bach harmonies rise through Sun Ra colours. The ceiling opens into a progressive lake of pure harmonic light.
00:35:04 Timo Kuusi – Crepuscular Rays
Crepuscular rays pour sideways across the room in thick golden beams. Timo Kuusi – Crepuscular Rays. Each ray carries its own instructional geometry. The beams expand until the whole space becomes a single radiant exercise in pure illumination.
00:42:39 The Green Kingdom – Vale of the Unknowable
Evening settles in airy layers of soft violet and pearl. The Green Kingdom – Vale of the Unknowable. Piano motifs drift through reverb-soaked guitar lines. The landscape opens into a wide still valley where every sound has room to unfold at its own unhurried pace.
00:44:52 Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota – Golden Earring
A golden earring turns slowly in zero gravity, catching and releasing light in perfect circles. Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota – Golden Earring. The sound arrives as the first sensation of hearing itself: tender, experimental, shaped for the earliest possible listener. Everything remains open, unguarded, and newly born.

A nostalgic, gently varied ambient journey through parting regrets, haunted cities, wildlife, and liquid illusions.
Side A moves from crackling farewells and spectral urban spaces into sunflowers, foxes, returning places, and soft confusion. Side B shifts through weird islands, mythical unicorns, brief summer echoes, transistor revolutions, distant horizons, and ends in liquid dreams.
Overall mood: Warm, reflective, and lightly mysterious — blending personal nostalgia with quiet wonder and soft experimental edges. Perfect for relaxed listening, late afternoons, or peaceful immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.

This will be followed by another UK based artist LoveKrafty and the also nostalgic track Sunflowers from the 2020 release Rainbow Drifter.

Then we find ourselves in Southsea, UK based artist swimming lesson. Now this is a super duper exclusive from a collective of absolutly wonderful souls that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for a few years now. They’ve gotten together to form The Synthesis Co-Operative and the first release is out on the 4th of September and will be available on cassette, Minidisc and digital and will be accompanied with a 40 page zine.

Right Balance Mirage
Music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set itself. This episode titled Right Balance Mirage is based on the track You Are On The Right Track by Danalogue, from the album Teleportations, which comes out on May 29 via the channel champion label Castles In Space. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. If you can subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help.
Right then… here we go.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 192
11 April 2026
https://what3words.com/reaction.agenda.member///reaction.agenda.member
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Hey.
Welcome.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-two.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous.
But really it’s just me and the frequencies in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets we exist.
Stream us free for seven days on Mixcloud.
The background track you’re hearing is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11 on Bandcamp. These episodes are sonic journeys with metaphysical flips at the halfway mark—perfect for long walks, mental wanders, or quiet moments alone with the universe.
Shout out to jungleangelo, my latest follower. If you dig glitchy IDM, you should really check out his Trainsporting series here on Mixcloud.
We’re bunching it tonight—three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
This episode is broadcasting from Reaction Agenda Member.
Up first, three transmissions to ease us in.
We start with Solar 76 and the track Drought, via Castles in Space imprint Lunar Module.
Next, Fragile X with The Cocktail Party Effect, self-released on their own Bandcamp.
And closing this opening trio: Tycho and Forge, released March 4th, 2026 on Ninja Tune.
So…
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
Staying in the zone, here’s the next cluster of three.
First up: Subphotic – Nothing Changes (A Begging I Will Go) (Morocco), from the Cities and Memory label.
Then Moray Newlands with The Rope Will Bind The Seven Books At Once, released February 13th, 2026 on his own Newlands Music imprint.
And rounding it out: THE GAYE DEVICE – Neon Hymn To The Infinite, self-released on his Bandcamp.
That was THE GAYE DEVICE – Neon Hymn To The Infinite… before that Moray Newlands – The rope will bind the seven books at once… and earlier Subphotic with Nothing Changes.
Moving deeper now.
We have BUNKR – Circling the Monolith, from my own catalogue on Bandcamp.
Then the collaborative piece Brass Clouds, Fog Net, & Volcanic Pinnacles – Decompression (Nocturne) on Bathysphere Records.
And closing the trio: Sven Laux – Carlsen, released on Whitelab Records.
Here’s the final track of side A.
Teatre – Sapiegų Park (feat. Eglė Pundzevičiūtė) from the album All Constellations Weaving Into One on Amulet of Tears label. Note: this album will be released on May 8th.
— B Side —
We start off the Side B with Mindmeld – Dream Sphere on Cyclical Dreams.
Followed by Zyggurat – Ram Ba’s Shep Hut – out on the Old Technology label.
Continuing the transmission.
Jon Salem – Stolen Moments on Kaiseki Digital.
Jake Soffer & Brent Carmer – Room With A View on Projekt Records.
And Krzysztof Kurkowski – Logica Frigida, also on Cyclical Dreams.
We’re heading into the field recordings and outer edges now.
Louis Sarno – Geedal in the forest with male voices (Republic of Congo), an archival recording available via the Cities and Memory label.
Then Ogle & Mugwood – Sudden Rain on Subexotic Records.
And Trevlad – Product Venue Enable, self-released on my own Bandcamp.
Last cluster to close the journey.
ireless – GLASSED UP, released on FRBH Recordings.
And we fade out on Oberlin – Nightime Planetary on Oscarson.
Outro
That’s the whole set.
You’ve been listening to… well, everything.
Thanks for floating here with me.
I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se, on Trevor Lewis on Substack, and marked in the timeline like little glowing breadcrumbs.
If you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
No meetings. No rules. Just dust, frequencies and me.
Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. I’ll read them in my sleep-voice.
See you in the next crack in the wall.
Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Café
Hey everyone… Trevor here, welcome.
I’ve always wanted to be a café DJ — you know, the kind who reads the room, feels the energy, and lets the music flow with whatever vibe the people bring in that day.
Life took me down so many beautiful roads, but this particular dream… well, it’s still waiting to come true.
So today, I’m bringing a little piece of that dream right here for you.
This is my series of café and lounge-flavoured sounds — smooth, soulful grooves made for chilling, for unwinding, for good conversations and even better silences.
Whether you’re sipping coffee, working on your laptop, curled up on the couch, or just needing a moment to breathe…
Let these tracks wrap around you like warm sunlight through the café window.
