Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 339
Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
The shows stay free for the first week. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A whistle mapped into silence, then a spring that prefers to vanish quietly.
Side A draws the map so the silence can answer, lets the music of the spheres burn bright and kind, rests the tongue in cold shadows under a solar scream, warms a tiny stone in a brief perfect drift, holds quiet music from Toronto in the lake, and draws a crystal so the page already shines. Side B cooks a beacon for a kind visitation, lengthens an afternoon in warm fur, grows an organic vibe in the factory that is already alive, shares a symbiosis in a lost city already found, opens a Shangri-La reverie for the valley, and lets the spring arrive so the vanishing can stay soft.
Overall mood: Luminous, and quietly kind — full of answering silences, shared rooms, and springs that know how to leave. Perfect for dusk listening, soft cities, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: a whistle mapped into silence, a bright burn from the music of the spheres, a tongue resting in cold shadows under a solar scream, a tiny stone drifting, quiet music from Toronto, a crystal drawn rather than cut.

An adventure for the one who must be obeyed, then a sky watched in company.
Side A keeps Haggard’s flame warm in the sequence, reaches the pole with the radio still crackling from the ice, folds the shroud so the outline remains kind, pours a small aperitif before the meal, finds the empire still in the foundations under the roads, and leaves temptation numbered among sixty-four fluxes on the table for you to look. Side B keeps the past still sitting in the chair, grazes elk on a coastal flat with the window open, shares a long look from the mezze table, projects a holographic father already solid and familiar, lets the hearts decide on forever with the pulse steady, and watches the weight of the night sky together while the desert holds both of you.
Overall mood: Mythic, and quietly shared — full of open windows, warm maps, and skies that prefer company. Perfect for dusk listening, coastal flats, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: an adventure for the one who must be obeyed, an admiral at the pole, a shroud folded in an elegy, an aperitif for the young, an empire still in the foundations, a temptation numbered among sixty-four fluxes.

Crystals from an inner world, then business that prefers the porch.
Side A lets the visitor already inside sing through the facets, keeps a Norfolk village on the shingle with the sea still close enough to hear, sits a denizen at the last stop of the line, pots anise and gamma in a grass-roots zen, lets the houseplant keep its own water on the windowsill, and clears a shelf for a zen small enough to fit. Side B softens the second dawn from the nights, rules a summer by herbs with the king still on the sill, drifts slowly for the people who keep the planes flying, holds an angle sharp in the sprawl, files only days and memories with the dialect still in the grain, and keeps the appointment on a porch where the piano is already in the wood.
Overall mood: Domestic, and quietly luminous — full of windowsills, last stops, and porches that have already sat down. Perfect for dusk listening, village stations, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

A monster, a music box and a toy Dalek sharing a loch, then a scream addressed to you.
Side A makes tea for three guests at the same water, finds houses for the long-haired with the roof already on, leaves a face deciding to arrive at the free fire, thinks on a Swedish summer afternoon while the pond remembers Atlantis, rings a modern call during migration, and lets the waterfall do the drapery for the live figure. Side B distils essences numbered one-point-one with the exploration still open, scans the stacks with the card catalogue still listening, faces the chorale toward the warmer wall, invites you across the threshold with the kettle already on, holds the room in a thrice-holy hymn, and keeps a place for the scream that already knows your name.
Overall mood: Eccentric, and quietly welcoming — full of open doors, free fires, and co-ops that keep a place for the loud one. Perfect for dusk listening, garden ponds, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone.

A voice returning after the cold months, then fortunes drifting offshore.
Side A stitches the voice back into the static once the winter has stepped aside, marks a path home through ruins on a planet whose stars are crashing, keeps the balance beyond words, dreams the future into the present on a planet of seers, ties the bionic score against the snowsuit and is happy about it, and walks the dream-road to a city that lives only in sleep. Side B lets the corridors forget the year while still holding the echo, keeps the smallest particle that binds a universe, holds the question of consciousness with arms still raised, draws one line from an unknown source enough to hold the page, lets animals arrive politely from the sky, and drops the coins still turning into water already waiting.
Overall mood: Mythic, and quietly open — full of detuned lullabies, unfinished questions, and roads that still accept entries. Perfect for dusk listening, silent rooms, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 333
Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A system number left on a faded sign, then a horizon the colour of the title.
Side A leaves the lettering still readable if you stand at the right angle, remixes ladders through a Sussex exchange with the rungs already warm, keeps the amniotic membrane grateful for the quiet, lets dust remember the sea just close enough for a little silt, edits a nomad for a decade of Batov still open in the stacks, and lets the dub smoulder so the ember does the work of the flame. Side B reconnects a piano and a vibraphone after thirty years with the conversation still open, holds the tunnel’s echo of the last train and the next that may yet come, lets the ornamental letter arrive with its loops intact, teaches seagulls the steps while the shoreline keeps time, keeps a Toronto live tape warm from the floor with the imperfections as the point, and stays where the sky decides to stay.
Overall mood: Slightly archival, and quietly warm — full of faded signs, open conversations, and horizons that know their own colour. Perfect for dusk listening, abandoned locations still holding sound, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: a system number left on a faded sign, ladders remixed by a Sussex exchange, a membrane of amniotic calm, dust that still remembers the sea, a nomad edited for a decade of Batov, a dub that prefers to smoulder.

I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 331
Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes, which in my experience is usually Tuesdays, or during eclipses, or when the kettle boils. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread. Unless you look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A sundial turned inward, then a boat named in two languages.
Side A writes its hours in a Canadian winter while the light inside learns to keep its own, holds the shape of callers who have already left, leaves a glimmer on for the night, lets the ocean breathe along the path, builds architecture that knows its own duration and still stands, and rearranges the light so it remains in the living room. Side B follows the grey sea whose fog already knows the way, crosses a forest at funk speed in under a minute, walks an old earthwork in a hidden kingdom still open for entries, listens to an Estonian runway listening back, switches on the first light of a galactic passenger, and names the boat once on each side of the hull.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly seasonal, and quietly luminous — full of little lights left on, temporary buildings, and seas that already know the way. Perfect for dusk listening, houses with a curse, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: a sundial turned inward, callers who have already left the hall, a glimmer left on overnight, an ocean breathing along a path, architecture that knows it is temporary, light pulled gently into a living room.

A university of unstable knowledge descending, then a jump that knows the trick.
Side A descends a staircase held slightly out of true, lets paper flowers drink the dye until the bloom is already in the fibre, measures sixty metres of disco rhythm, improvises a cello in the nude, scores a short career for three spiders and one fly, and layers images until the clock bends. Side B reaches the edge of the wood and waves you in by further paths, holds a fabric up to the window so not all refracted light is as it seems, collects light patterns in tone studies that wander somewhere welcome, lets children and whales share a pool large enough for both, grass-roots a Chilean forest guardian, and lands the leap exactly where the title meant to.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly eccentric, and quietly luminous — full of open staircases, bent clocks, and paths that already know the way in. Perfect for dusk listening, listening parties on the first of November, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: a university of unstable knowledge descending, paper flowers drinking the dye, sixty metres of disco rhythm, a cello improvising in the nude, a chamber piece for arachnids and one fly, images layered until time curves.

A stone cut in a century that has already left, then a MicroKorg noticing the room has changed.
Side A polishes a gemstone that arrived already old, keeps the distant sea far enough that you can hear it and stay dry, leaves an extra chair for two girls and the half that stayed, counts masts the harbour fog is still deciding to show, gathers every last drop, and opens a portal onto a room you have already been in. Side B lets the moon wobble a little more than it meant to show, hums rare earths through a circuit board in a language older than the plug, listens as a Connecticut house stretches fridge and rain into a room you can stand in, counts ninety minutes of air still in the lungs, files a ghost that already knew the address, and lets a stolen memory agree the room has changed.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly haunted, and quietly domestic — full of polite distances, home-shelf murmurs, and water that remains generous with the air. Perfect for dusk listening, houses that pay attention, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: a stone cut in a century that has already left, a sea kept at a polite distance, two girls and the half that stayed, masts drawn in fog, a drop counted to the end, a portal that remembers you first.

A town happy to say its name twice, then dreams tied up and happy at the dock.
Side A points at the same corner until it smiles back, leaves a Sylvian junction open on every side, blows a gemstone rather than cutting it, scores the nights drawing in with a title that has not quite arrived, fills its eyes with moss and lets the ground read along, and finds a lost horizon again at whisper volume. Side B keeps the root when the other two panels have bowed, holds distant blue on a spine with both names, touches the sea once and keeps the salt, draws a bath for someone very small, paginates an inland ocean so you can stop at the paragraph, and moors its dreams with the rope left slack.
Overall mood: Gentle, slightly elegiac, and quietly domestic — full of repeating towns, unlit next rooms, and water that agrees to stay inland. Perfect for dusk listening, houses that have agreed to be smaller, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: a town happy to say its name twice, a junction in the brain, a flute sent out to sea, a score for the nights drawing in, a burial with moss for eyes, a horizon found again at whisper volume.

A sentence that will not finish, then time asked to smile and, for once, agreeing.
Side A never changes to stop, opens doors until a room becomes a corridor, remixes Melody Day until it is handed back still humming, sits in the unfurnished space between, tunes a beautiful place out in the country from a congregation you were invited to, and arrives late to a videotape whose chorus has already been recorded. Side B launches Big Face like a boat, files a sensual woman under mercenary, wants you with the band waiting outside, cruises a street that only exists after the streetlights give up, interviews little fluffy clouds in a West Country accent, and puts a smile on a DJ’s face before keeping the change.
Overall mood: Warm, slightly nostalgic, and gently unfinished — full of souvenirs, velvet ropes left on the floor, and last pages that knew they were last. Perfect for dusk drives, rooms that decide to be corridors, or sitting still while the next spool still waits
Side A
Mood mist: a sentence that will not finish, doors agreeing to open, a day remixed until it smiles, a gap you can sit in, a beautiful place that may be a field recording of a sermon, a tape that knows it is the last song.

00:25:10 Radiohead – Videotape
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF83_PR2EsA
Album: In Rainbows.
Videotape. In Rainbows, last page. The chorus you were meant to sing along to has already been recorded. You are late, and that is the point.
Side B
Mood mist: a face launched like a boat, a woman filed under mercenary, a want with the band removed, a cruise that only runs after dark, clouds interviewed and found to be little, time asked to smile and, for once, agreeing.
00:30:32 Plaid & Bob Jaroc – The Launching Of Big Face
https://plaid.bandcamp.com/track/the-launching-of-big-face

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 319
Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes, which in my experience is usually Tuesdays, or during eclipses, or when the kettle boils. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-set outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread. Unless you look. Don’t look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A clock that insists the world is already the argument, then a house that hums because it was cursed to.
Side A opens the door unlatched on a cuckoo that has already said what it came to say, builds a choir from stones that will not give the words, fidgets in Latin for a sound that will not sit still, files tears under ocean and returns the glass, sets a plate for a love that left no chair pushed in, and steps into a puddle that learned to be a room. Side B runs a rite hotter than the room agreed to, cuts a faun from the seventh tray of stones, reaches the far point of an orbit, refuses a capital letter for nights that would rather not be introduced, walks the last few steps into silence, and keeps the hymn book and the haunting on the same shelf.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly haunted, and quietly ritual — full of unlatched doors, lowercase dreams, and sanctuaries that sing whether you asked or not. Perfect for dusk listening, houses with a curse, or sitting still while the ripples never quite reach the edge.
Mood mist: a clock that insists the world is already the argument, a choir built from stones, Latin for a sound that will not sit still, tears filed under ocean, a love that left its plate, a puddle that learned to be a room.
00:02:12 Portland Vows – Everything Is The Case
https://portland-vows.bandcamp.com/track/everything-is-the-case

https://handstitched.bandcamp.com/track/stonechoir
Album: signals in the static. Label: handstitched*
Signals in the static, sung by a wall that handstitched taught to hold a note. Don’t ask the mortar for the words.*

00:16:08 Salamanda – Puddle Underwater
https://metronrecords.bandcamp.com/track/puddle-underwater
Album: Sphere. Label: Métron Records
A sphere you can step in without wetting the hem. Métron counting the ripples that never reach the edge.
Mood mist: a rite that runs hot, a faun cut from the seventh tray of stones, the far point of an orbit, nights that refuse a capital letter, a walk that ends in quiet, a house that sings because it was cursed to.
00:20:17 Electric Circus – High Fever
https://electriccircus3.bandcamp.com/track/high-fever-2
Album: Rites. Label: Killer Groove Records
Rites performed at a temperature the room did not agree to. Killer Groove leaving the window shut.
00:23:26 Cartas de Japón – Faune III
https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/cartas-de-jap-n-faune-iii
Album: Label: Cyclical Dreams
A letter from nowhere in particular, pressed into Gemstones VII until the faun agreed to be a facet.
00:32:57 Erik Wøllo – Aphelion
https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/track/aphelion
Album: Earthshine. Label: Projekt Records
Earthshine at its furthest from the thing that lights it. Projekt letting the tape run slow enough to feel the distance.
00:34:39 Jupi/ter – dreams.

Lower case, full stop. Nights that would rather not be introduced.
00:38:51 Fumana – Into Silence

Imaginary North transmitting the last few steps before the signal decides it has said enough.

Album: House with a Curse. Label: Clay Pipe Music
The sanctuary of song, inside a house with a curse. Clay Pipe keeping the hymn book and the haunting on the same shelf.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 313
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. 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.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies.
Now imagine each episode as a colossal rotating stage — a great mechanical blooming lotus. You, the audience only ever glimpse a sliver of it at a time. Every artist is allotted the exact time it takes them to perform their piece. Then they rotate out of view, and the next act glides in. The stage spins at whatever speed the track demands.
The names of the artists and labels I’ll mention before each set — or “side,” as the cassette alchemists call them. Six little incantations per set, plus a general mist of what mood to expect.
Now the stage begins to turn.
A doorway that reboots itself, then a planet showing you the face it keeps away from the sun.
Side A coughs the portal awake, paints Milan limb by limb in grey-cheek library jazz, docks Ishtar’s goddess-ship, waits for Blue Bell Hill to switch from black-and-white to blossom, folds a desert peacock that rarely leaves the room, and hums a 7-inch bodega under fluorescent strip-light.
Side B parks godhead in the sprawl, waltzes a chest-pain name you cannot pronounce, pours top brass that refuses to complicate, walks the talk until it grows bass strings, holds the only hands that exist to be held, and ends on the dark side of the earth — the hemisphere the dying star never got around to lighting.
Overall mood: Playful, cinematic, and quietly cosmic — full of Clay Pipe colour, Batov half-shut eyes, and infrastructure filed under prayer. Perfect for late listening, bodega aisles after hours, or sitting with the drawbridge down while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: a doorway that reboots itself, Milan painted limb by limb, a goddess-ship docking on the lotus, a council estate coming into colour, a desert peacock that rarely leaves the room, a 7-inch bodega humming under fluorescent strip-light.
00:03:30 DaoLogic – Portal Reload
https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/track/portal-reload
From the album: Source Vive Label: Mahorka
The portal coughs, then remembers its password. Warm crispy beats walking you through without extrasystoles. You enter. The source is still alive.
00:07:27 Barigozzi Group – Grey Cheeks
https://fourfliesrecords.bandcamp.com/track/grey-cheeks
From the album: Woman’s Colours Label: Four Flies Records

00:09:34 Gong – Ship Of Ishtar
https://gongband.bandcamp.com/track/ship-of-ishtar
From the album: Unending Ascending.
Venus at the tiller. Sacred cargo under the sails, clocks not yet reset. Climb aboard — the guitar is already a spaceship, but tonight the ship is Ishtar.
00:17:50 David Boulter – Blue Bell Hill
https://claypipemusic.bandcamp.com/track/blue-bell-hill
From the album: St Ann’s Label: Clay Pipe Music

00:20:04 Taftir – Tavasim
https://taftir.bandcamp.com/track/tavasim-2
From the EP: Od Layla Ba Ayara Label: Batov Records
Desert town, five players, a soul ballad they almost never play live. Feathers folded. The groove keeps its eyes half-shut.

https://eastsidesupply.bandcamp.com/track/the-bodega
From the single: DELICATESSEN / THE BODEGA Label: Sonor Music Editions
Harpsichord and flute shopping the aisles. Axelrod hits between the tinned peaches. The bodega closes the side before the lotus can blink.
Mood mist: sprawl praying to itself, a chest-pain waltz with a name you cannot pronounce, brass that refuses to complicate, Watt walking the talk into orbit, hands that only exist to be held, a planet showing you the face it keeps away from the sun.
00:27:57 boycalledcrow – godhead
https://boycalledcrow.bandcamp.com/track/godhead
From the album: the sprawl Label: Mortality Tables
Godhead parked in the sprawl. Mortality Tables filing the prayer under “infrastructure.”

https://themistysband.bandcamp.com/track/a-hand-is-to-hold
From the album: Situations | Useless Mouths Label: Castles In Space

From the album: Heart of a Dying Star.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 310
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 310. 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 humid, analog journey through Chicago weather, dub earth, and a looking-glass that still grows.
Side A drifts through Bitchin Bajas organ-tape zones, Album Leaf story frames, Laswell’s lowered Marley devotion, Young Gun silver-fox chrome, Eels in a small room of memory, and Quiet Village pool-light haze. Side B drops into Coki’s ruff lovin’ pressure, FSOL mango-tree humidity, Röyksopp’s Late Night bounce, Tellier’s tender river, a brief Kendall Miles afterglow, and ends at Jefferson Airplane’s white rabbit.
Overall mood: Warm, cinematic, and slightly psychedelic — full of analog silk, sub-bass weather, and neon that refuses to cool. Perfect for late drives, pool-side dusk, or sitting with the credits while the mushroom keeps growing.
This is episode 310 which makes it a best of show. Where I’ve chosen 12 favourites from over the years.
The best of shows remain free but everything else slips quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers after 7 days. Subscribers currently have 1,135 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes.

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 between-worlds ambient journey through vanished lanes, quiet trees, and maps that keep leaving the paper.
Side A walks you home along a Lincolnshire lane that no longer exists, docks in a corridor of light, holds its breath beneath Yiddish trees, answers every name water has ever been given, climbs an Atlas ascent through drowned architecture, and posts a wet summer postcard from Koblenz. Side B decides the right thing is just to leave, sits at a hummingbird campfire, hums the normal order of things after midnight, names an uncatalogued creature, paints the moon with earthshine, and ends on an atlas of shifting clouds.
Overall mood: Melancholic, luminous, and quietly migratory — full of Passed Oceans, analog weight, and weather with no name in the rear-view. Perfect for late listening, leaving rooms gently, or sitting still while the tide rearranges the map.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes.

https://ancientastronaut.bandcamp.com/track/between-worlds
Aka Eric Allietta. From the album “Inner Worlds”.

A late-summer, slightly haunted ambient journey through holiday kickoff, last dances, and worlds still demon-haunted.
Side A opens with Sally’s dream-pop song, then sits suburban and cooked, wishes it was fishing, takes the last summer dance, lands on the rocks, and drifts beatless through rare-earth motherboards. Side B learns 1980s Japanese technopop, walks an empty park of guitar and sarod, mixes 90s creators for the co-op, keeps things simple in Portuguese ambient, lights Sagan’s candles, and ends in submerged industry.
Overall mood: Warm, watery, and quietly uncanny — full of Passed Oceans, festival stems, and analog jewels after the flip. Perfect for autumn evenings, Krankenhaus afterglow, or sitting with the last dance while the next spool still waits.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 305
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. 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 cliffside, slightly occult ambient journey through spirit bridges, distant evenings, and questions that keep answering themselves.
Side A opens among Provo cliffdwellers and castle waters, then dreams through 808 notebook sequences, sits with Scottish-Swedish darkness, tunes the senses to E.S.P., and holds surface tension across Passed Oceans. Side B begins a mysterious Mechanicus chapter, places the world at your feet for Phantom’s centenary, spices the reel with French library flute and Leipzig afrobeat, flashes a fourteen-second miniature, and ends decaying underwater — however oceanic of you.
Overall mood: Contemplative, faintly eerie, and quietly playful — full of exclusive darkness, compilation water, and short surprises after the flip. Perfect for late listening, sitting with the unexplained, or letting the tape keep asking while the ocean answers.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred 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.
00:02:21 spaceseer – Cliffdwellers
I start with an apology to the artist EBlo who in the last episode I mixed up with an artist of the same name. EBlo is in fact based in Malmö, Sweden and not the US. Also a shout out to the wonderful aeon who not only is one of my only subscribers but also left a comment on a show a while back and asked me to do an episode of his amazing CAMP radio monthly series Fragments. Opening this episode with a piece from the new compilation album Gemstones VII out on Cyclical Dreams that Record label focused on Berlin School, Ambient, Soundscape, Space Music, Drone, and electronic music.

A liquid, slightly haunted ambient journey through West Riding flocks, kudzu moonlight, and cities that refuse to end.
Side A watches the pinder keep the flock, then drifts under a kudzu moon, through solemn dreams beneath hushed currents, a Bethlehem journey, night-time puzzle sequences, and the slow pressure of mane nobiscum. Side B opens eternal cities, stirs a storm in a water-glass, presses a dystopian button, walks Verona’s water, swells with tide, and ends in soft cyber-space pulses.
Overall mood: Contemplative, damp, and quietly expansive — full of exclusive compilations, recorded liquids, and urban pull that keeps looping after the flip. Perfect for dusk listening, cassette-repeat evenings, or sitting with the water while the figures still gather.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes.

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.

A coastal, living-system ambient journey through sea-stares, underwater spheres, and second natures.
Side A watches the sea from Sausage Studios, then drifts across unnamed water, residual cellar vectors, tape-warm circles, dancing offertorio light, and one-take Maenporth fall. Side B opens a hidden kantele harmony, mixes smoke and sound in real time, breathes under Yiddish trees, sits with an oracle, walks Sanibel’s helix, and comes back to the world.
Overall mood: Gentle, organic, and quietly luminous — full of water, weather, and small living systems. Perfect for morning listening, nature walks, or sitting still while things fall out of the sky.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes.

A breathing, slightly cosmic ambient journey through mantra rooms, sunset light, and machine-soul plasma.
Side A keeps a Brighton pulse, then moves through cadmium starling chambers, seaside sunsets, remixed inner-galaxy weather, a slowed descent, and a last-page fin. Side B opens with Glasgow fairy wonk and oxide walk-film, then finds a 2016 first track, Plantasia homage, Gadigal beach light, and new-age retro plasma leading into the bright.
Overall mood: Warm, communal, and quietly expansive — full of shared rooms, analogue vignettes, and light that keeps arriving. Perfect for late mornings, deep listening, or sitting with the last page while the next reel still waits.

A seasonal, slightly restless ambient journey through summer heat, stored sequences, and coastal gaps.
Side A opens in Indiana solstice light and green energy, then moves through overloaded London rooms, shifting Quiet Figures, 1980s earthshine slowness, and warped inner-weather shelves. Side B holds Mediterranean headland water, rusty robot dreams, Mersey light, Tokyo sequences from some other time, a choked dub-techno pulse, and ends at Hope Gap under Ravilious colours.
Overall mood: Warm, nostalgic, and quietly unstable — full of stored time, coastal air, and communities hanging together. Perfect for late-summer listening, train windows, or sitting with what the season still holds.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes.

A grounded yet otherworldly ambient journey through suburban roots, dissolving melodies, secret stones, and unravelled dreams.
Side A takes root in overlooked verges and massive voltage, then unfolds along early analogue paths, melting gestures, nights of silver tears, and Leeds-cloud haze. Side B opens into celestial mediumship and the hidden life of stones, then moves through whispering figures, closed-eye warmth, Lovecraftian walking, and a dream seen that day.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly melancholic, and richly textured — blending organic observation, analogue warmth, and quiet mystery. Perfect for deep listening, late-night walks, or sitting still while the world slowly unravels.
The tape unspools its visions.
Side A
00:03:28 ambalek – Roots
Overlooked suburban corners reveal themselves in slow photographic light. ambalek – Roots. Nature’s small moments gather among fences and quiet verges, each observation taking root in soft organic colour.
00:07:43 Baldocaster & Prog Mountain – Massive Dynamic
Massive shapes pulse with dynamic voltage. Baldocaster & Prog Mountain – Massive Dynamic. Sonic architecture rises in heavy luminous blocks that shift and reassemble under their own gravity.
00:09:38 Analogue Path – Post Rock 001
Early exploratory paths open across analogue ground. Analogue Path – Post Rock 001. Guitar tones and evolving textures mark the first stretches of a long road still unfolding ahead.
00:13:45 Arbee – Se fondre
Modular snippets of melody dissolve into one another. Arbee – Se fondre. Unnoticed actions and quiet gestures texture the air. Details surface at their own pace, inviting deep immersion.
00:16:15 TREVØR – Night of a Thousand Tears
A thousand tears fall through night-coloured air. TREVØR – Night of a Thousand Tears. Each drop catches and releases light, turning sorrow into a rain of silver points.
00:24:07 Adel Music Club – Melt the Clouds
Leeds jams from the early nineties melt the clouds above. Adel Music Club – Melt the Clouds. Assorted tunes recorded in various rooms rise through a photographic slide bought at the outdoor market, the sky itself softening into warm analogue haze.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
Side B
00:25:19 Aglaia – Mediumship
Celestial altitudes open in peaceful hypnotic currents. Aglaia – Mediumship. Processed acoustic instruments and subtle electronics weave a mysterious mandala. Consciousness flies through boundless spaces, receiving rather than transmitting, as sponges, anemones and particle clouds dominate the descent.
00:41:32 Walt Shaw – The secret life of stones
Stones keep their secret life among constructed percussion. Walt Shaw – The secret life of stones. Pebbles roll inside bowls and cans. Gongs, springs, saw blades, glass and metal plates vibrate under contact microphones. Accidents become rich textures, blood wiped away, the unexpected harnessed into drones and decay.
00:45:33 Cries from the LTN – Caggy’s Jam
Silent figures whisper through Caggy’s jam. Cries from the LTN – Caggy’s Jam. Hidden mysteries unravel in the compositions that shadow us, each narrative rising from the Quiet Figures still gathering.
00:56:12 Six Missing – Eyes Closed
Eyes close while vintage analogue warmth holds the listener. Six Missing – Eyes Closed. Synths and guitars chosen for heart and human touch accompany late nights, travel and smaller details. One self passes into another in quiet accepted motion.
00:58:50 Almost Random – I walk whilst the world Unravelled
The world unravels while a walker moves through Lovecraftian mists. Almost Random – I walk whilst the world Unravelled. Celephais docks give way to Kingsport fog and forgotten cities in eastern sands. Eurorack voices lead the procession under a lecturer’s gaze.
01:03:29 Silentwave – The dream I saw that day
A dream seen that day returns as improvised drone. Silentwave – The dream I saw that day. Soft luminous layers drift in open oneiric space.
The visions complete their circle.
The oxide continues its quiet journey until the end of the spool.
Also in the works: the next compilation, Quiet Figures, release date 26 September.
Uncover the narratives whispered by the silent, ever-present figures that shadow us, through compositions that unravel their hidden mysteries.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 329
Fascinate
Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes, which in my experience is usually Tuesdays, or during eclipses, or when the kettle boils. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread. Unless you look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A cruise along a signposted road, then a heart lit in a place still waiting for its name.
Side A follows the signs with the construct still standing and happy to drive, keeps the face continuous from one frame to the next, files a polite plea under the smear-test disasters, numbers the first fluid from dust to dawn, lets the shade learn a lyric behind a half-drawn curtain, and fascinates with the fungus that holds the wood together. Side B glows umber between brown and light, posts a New Penzance Island from the film, keeps the last note of a reef in its feathers, chirps a zither small enough for a beak, leans into petrol and jasmine on the same camber, and leaves the light on in a town the map has yet to label.
Overall mood: Slightly luminous, and quietly named — full of half-drawn curtains, open lanes, and places still waiting for their labels. Perfect for dusk drives, roads that know the way, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: a cruise along a signposted road, a mask that keeps the face continuous, a helpdesk in the comments, a fluid numbered one, shade singing its own name, wildlife that has decided to fascinate.
