Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 264. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
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.
Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps.
A contemplative, atmospheric ambient journey through gravity, trapped moments, and fiery elements.
Side A drifts from weightless lapses and arcane nights into sinister awakenings, amber preservation, and circular comfort. Side B shifts through nostalgic postcards, patterned cosiness, collaborative warmth, and ends on flame and dated reflection.
Overall mood: Introspective, melancholic, and quietly wondrous with a blend of darkness and gentle warmth. Perfect for deep listening, late-night reflection, or peaceful immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now and Side B in the intermission. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 264 episodes as well as the 820 plus other shows whenever they like.
As a subscriber you also get access to my new series Veil Frequencies based on a fictional world I’ve created called The Resonant Veil Enclave. Each episode is around three hours and recorded from one of the floors from the 24 buildings in the veil. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures.
On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by the trio of John Crombie, Christopher Innes, and Damiano Verna who together call themselves Arcane Trickster. I’ve chosen their latest single titled “Dead Of Night” which has just been released on Greek label Cosmicleaf Records.
This is followed by the track “Sinister Awakening” by Mantris from an album to get lost in titled “Echoes Of The Silver Screen” out on Bulgaria’s finest Mahorka label.
After that Edinburgh based modular artist Exit Chamber with the soothing piece “Trapped In The Amber Of This Moment” from the release “I Have Lied To You The Best I Can” which features remix work by some other channel friends including Asha Patera, Ed Herbers and Everyday Dust. Grab a digital copy on the Passed Recordings label.
The penultimate track of the first side of this virtual cassette is by French artist Anthony Elfort aka Toàn and the enchanting track “DEL 3” from the album titled “Solitarium” out on the fantastic whitelabrecs label.
Finishing off the first half is a track from the album Quieter by Robot Koch under his moniker Foam and Sand with a mix of analog synthesizers, live vibraphone, chimes, and bells in “Circle 62”. Get it at Jogging House curated label Seil Records.
But first, to set the vibe is Athens-based artist Kostas Staikos, better known as Substak with a deep and dark almost 15 minute piece titled “Gravity Lapse” which was made for Drone Day 2026 on grey clay radio.
Now 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.
Welcome to the B side. Six tracks down and six to go.
You’ll hear an artist I know nothing about except they are on the fantastic Passed Recordings 31 track compilation album 130.81. Here is Poloma with minimalist piece “Calico”.
Also an exclusive track in the collaboration of ambient giants David Cordero & Aiko Takahashi with the piano piece “Arzino” from their upcoming album “Night’s End” which will be available through the wonderful Home Normal label from the 24th of July.
After that a master of sunset music, Mark Barrott, with the track “Variation (I)” from the album “The Exit Diaries” and that’s out on the Anjunachill label.
Then the penultimate track for today comes in the form of the shortest piece of the show clocking in at just 1:31 seconds but showing the amazing sound of Hannah Peel in the track “All They Had Was Fire” from the film soundtrack album Underland, and that’s out on the Rivertones label.
Finishing us off is Hylé Tapes curator Richard Francés with some minimalistic drone bliss in the track “11 Février 2024” from the album Afterwork III (Février 2024).

I’ve gone back to doing more podcast style episodes but I’ll do all the talking now in the intro as I’ve put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. There is just one break halfway through the episode to give the “virtual cassette” title a meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few subscribers who get to enjoy the 261 episodes plus the 823 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for 3 quid.

Every tenth episode I do a best of show. So all these tracks have probably been featured by me over the years and have a special place, for me, in some way. On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Berlin based legends To Rococo Rot with a track simply called “cars”.

Then anyone who has followed the channel knows that I love odd time signatures and the track “Percolator” is in 5/8 and is by the one of a kind originals Stereolab. Taken from the 2025 album “Emperor Tomato Ketchup”.
This leads into the featured Seattle, Washington based, Evan Bartholomew, better known as, Bluetech track “A Study In Vapors”.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 225
Deep Surface Arrival
Based on the track “Fratelli” from the album “Fourrure Sounds Vol. 3 to 6” by “DOMOTIC”.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A warm, eclectic, and nature-infused ambient journey that blends cosmic exploration with earthly intimacy and gentle nostalgia.
Side A flows from soulful analogue psych-jazz and wide-open horizons into playful textures, misty mountains, celestial arrivals, and deep mythological atmospheres. Side B shifts toward cosy, reflective minimalism — featuring modular whimsy, vintage warmth, cabin-bound peace, and tidal serenity.
Overall mood: Hopeful, contemplative, and gently psychedelic with a strong organic warmth. It feels like a sunlit walk through forests and fields that slowly transitions into star-gazing at dusk. Perfect for relaxed deep listening, daytime dreaming, or evening unwinding.
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.
Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps.
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.
