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-three.
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 it free for seven days on Mixcloud. The background track is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11 on Bandcamp.
The episodes are sonic journeys with metaphysical flips at the halfway mark — perfect for long walks, mental wanders, or quiet moments alone with the universe.
We’re bunching it today — 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 The Londoner pub in Stockholm with the coordinates ///product.subsets.weekends.
#
Starting us off: a shimmering remix from Loopatronica, a brief suspended moment from Hi-Field, and Virtually J stepping out of the shadows with something quietly unsettling. Headphones on. Let time dissolve. And let the frequencies claim you.
#
Next we drift into Darryl Wakelin’s Swimming Lesson in a playful library daydream, Loula Yorke and Charlotte Jolly weaving something ancient and watery, and James Osland reminding us how everything starts from almost nothing.
#
Now the air gets heavier and more fragile: Sleep Chrysalis letting dreams fade, Scholars of the Peak dredging up sparkles from the deep, and Clariloops opening something very gently.
#
We cross into field recordings and memory: Ana Habesh calling from Vanuatu, Then we flip the virtual cassette and find willowlaun dropping the ultimate New Zealand ambient pop moment, and Hverheij stepping into the realm of outside possibilities.
#
Sunlight, crystals, and liquid spaces now: Miguel Otero & Raquel Pavón speaking with the light, Arcane Trickster in crystalline suspension, and Scav building a living terrarium.
#
Loops, snow, and southern flavours: petr drkula spinning prime loops, Trevlad wandering through bank snow turkeys, and Saïph serving Marseille au riz.

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.
