Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 210

Cool, sophisticated, and slightly mysterious with a strong retro cinematic flair.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 210 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 “Amber (feat. Itamar Ziegler)” by Ori Kaplan & Lihu Melamed from the stunning upcoming album “Reverie” which drops on the 12th of June via the Batov Records label. Also a massive thank you to Four Flies Records, The Dream Journal Institute, Batov Records and Mystery Circles for sponsoring the episode with material.
A stylish, cinematic, and eclectic trip through 70s Italian library grooves, jazz-funk, psychedelic exotica, and warm ambient textures.
Side A blends sleazy thriller funk and sunny Mediterranean rhythms with mystical desert drones and playful adventure themes. Side B shifts into nocturnal jazz-funk, delicate minimalism, soulful grooves, and ends with loose, exploratory jazz energy.
Overall mood: Cool, sophisticated, and slightly mysterious with a strong retro cinematic flair. It feels like a warm Mediterranean evening that slowly turns into a smoky, late-night jazz club session — groovy, atmospheric, adventurous, and effortlessly stylish. Perfect for cruising, golden-hour listening, or relaxed evening vibes.
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.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 190

04 April 2026

///healers.dominate.slices

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 back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the wall.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-zero.

We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous.
But really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets I exist.

Stream free for seven days on Mixcloud.
Background track tonight available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11. A sonic journey with a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark — perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe.

Massive shout out to Iso Brown for spotlighting the channel — gave me about three hundred new followers and maybe one new listener. Also big love to my latest follower Alan Ranta, who’s recently done an astonishing 11 and half hour retro library mix.
Anyway
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.

We’re bunching it tonight — four transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.

Tonight’s episode is broadcasting from… healers.dominate.slices.
Eric Ericsonhallen — Event centre in Stockholm. Now it’s just a coordinate for whatever this episode is.

Let’s go.


FIRST CLUSTER

First — Apta with “Falter”. Manchester, UK,Dream-pop haze wrapped in post-punk bones.

Then Passepartout Duo — “From Belgrade”. Verona, Italy, Live-wire travelogue piece from their Pieces from Places series. Synth lines that feel like walking through the city.

Third — Pulselovers and “Timbral Awake”. Deep electronic drift from Doncaster, UK, textures that shift like light through old film stock. Via Woodford Halse.

And closing this one out: Maggie Nicols, Robert Mitchell & Alya Al Sultani — “Inner Sanctum”. Intimate, improvised vocal and piano ritual. Three voices weaving a small cathedral out of breath and keys. via Discus Music.

Here we go.


SECOND CLUSTER

Next bundle of four, fresh from the margins:

Italian artist Lorenzo Bracaloni aka Fallen — “This World is quickly Fading”. Fragile, dissolving sound that feels like the last light of an ending day. Via Bulgarias Mahorka label who I am guesting soon on their Planck Tones channel.

Then my own little transmission: Trevlad with “Retrial Twinge Memo”. Taken from the TVCL 10 vaults. A twinge of memory on retrial and a spot on the platform of my local train station.

Followed by Lorna Dune — “Void Coefficient”. Milwaukee, Wisconsin based, Sharp, precise electronic study from her Mosfet EP. Power flows and empty spaces.

And rounding it off: Hong Kong based Anita Tatlow & Runaway Horses with “lunar phase”. Gentle ambient vocal drift, like moonlight leaking through blinds. Via Echoes Blue Music.

Drift with me.


THIRD CLUSTER (pre-B Side)

Third cluster already. The night is getting loose.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard — “Doom City”. Melbourne, Australia, Microtonal chaos from Flying Microtonal Banana. The pollution gods are laughing. Via the p(doom) label.

Then Mark Ellery Griffiths with “Synthi Sequence A”. Pure UK synth archaeology. Sequences breathing through old EMS circuitry like ghosts in the machine.


FOURTH CLUSTER (B Side)

Alright. Four more transmissions bleeding through.

Adrian Lane — “Reach For The Horizon”. Warm, horizon-staring ambient. Via whitelabrecs.

Benge — “Four Forty Two”. Precise, machine-soul electronics.

Asheville, North Carolina based Spooqs — “Hygge (Demo)”. Cozy but slightly unhinged.

And Djrum — “Three Foxes Chasing Each Other”. Breakbeat mysticism in full flight. Via Houndstooth.

Side B is now live.


FIFTH CLUSTER

Fifth cluster. We’re deep in it now.

CIALYN — “Sun Childs”. Bright, glowing electronic lullaby from Lille, France

Aucuba Replica — “Noni”. Strange fruit, stranger frequencies. Via Secuencias Temporales.

Ori Kaplan & Lihu Melamed — “Shangri La”. Mystical, searching jazz-tinged wander. Via Batov Records.

And Psyché — “Sabir”. Hypnotic, ancient-future pulse. Via Four Flies Records.

Still with me?


FINAL CLUSTER

Last cluster. Final transmission before the static wins. A long and a short piece.

Frankfurt Am Main, Germany based Jogging House — “Parker”. Slow-burn ambient reflection. Via artist curated Seil Records.

And finally Los Angeles, California based Elijah Fox — “Glass House / Clear Pool”. Crystalline, watery piano and electronics.


That’s the whole set.

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.

If you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
No meetings. No rules. Just dust and frequencies.

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…
