Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 353
Hi folks and welcome to Love and Regret. Episode 353 of my Virtual cassette library. It’s Wednesday and I hope your week so far has been fantastic. I make these shows on a daily bases which is not the best of ideas but I like listening to new music every day and just happen to like sharing my finds with you.
Shout out to aeon for the pep talk check out his monthly Fragments show on Camp Radio also 4000 Records, dougtewksbury, Lee Raymond Sykes and boysmithers for favoriting previous episodes.
Side A will include skimmed_milk with Apologue from the album Forsaken out on the wonderful Ambient Cat label. Dark around the edges, liminal in the middle. The cat is ambient. The milk is skimmed. Then Soldiers in the Snow with Mirador from the album The Synthesis Co-Op Volume Two. A compilation on which I too have left a stain. The sound is the cold kind. Not dramatic cold. The kind that sits in the boots and waits. Go get yourself a copy of this 17 track outing it’s for a good cause. After that Mayassa Dib with Prelude a single out on the Moolakii Club Audio Interface label. Play it when you need the beginning without the arrival.
After that Drew Huddart aka Scholars of the Peak with The Haven Under The Hill from the compilation album Pictures at an Exhibition.The sound is the pastoral kind with the edges still on. Bells somewhere in the distance, synths doing the work of the slope, field recordings of whatever the hill was doing that day.
and finally an exclusive by Tim Spear alias The Careful System with Silence cupped in deeper silence from the album Motifs 2 which will see light of day on November 20 via artist curated label WHI Recordings. After that side B will flip itself like a polite pancake while you notice a detail in your surroundings.
First off is The Fimnur Trio with “Dungeon Jazz” from the album Sketches from the Dungeon. A dungeon that decided it wanted a cocktail. Loungey enough that you might sit down. Dungeon enough that the chair is probably a rock.
Enjoy…
These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.
A dungeon that decided it wanted a cocktail, then the first vegetable without the rest of the garden.
Side A lets the dungeon order its cocktail with the chair already a rock and loungey enough to sit, darkens the apologue around the edges while the milk stays skimmed and liminal in the middle, sits the mirador in the boots with the stain already left, begins the prelude without the arrival that is already postponed, keeps the haven under the hill with the bells distant and the hill doing whatever it was doing that day, and cups the silence in deeper silence that is already waiting. Side B lets the trees remember what only they still hold, thinks the spoon is a saw with the modular already acid and the win declared, grows the physis with the goddess going and the noticing optional, loves the regret with the sax open and the orchestra under it, kisses the skulls in a Radiophonic farewell that is already kind, and offers the first carrot with the rest of the garden optional and the nothing already about something.
Overall mood: Amused, and quietly edged — full of ordered cocktails, cupped silences, and vegetables that prefer to arrive alone. Perfect for dusk listening, soft dungeons, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: a dungeon that decided it wanted a cocktail, an apologue dark around the edges, a mirador that sits in the boots, a prelude without the arrival, a haven under the hill, a silence cupped in deeper silence.

Today’s album of the day:
Okay. Naharim, the Lost City. A young archivist finds an old grimoire, walks through a stone archway into some parallel place called Indarabia, ends up in a city frozen in Time, and then the portal closes and nobody sees him again. Extra lines show up in the book later. By this French Berlin School guy, Sylvain Carel, on the Buenos Aires label Cyclical Dreams. that does the sequenced, ambient, space-music thing you should all be addicted to by now.

The penultimate track is by A Farewell to Hexes who bless us with The Kiss Of Skulls from the compilation I can’t get enough of Skeletons An Adam Leonard project that does the Radiophonic, sinister, concept-heavy electronics.

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.

I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 307
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 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. 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.

Today, Wednesday the 9th of September 2026 I’m in Dublin Ireland for my parents 65th wedding anniversary celebrations.
A twilight, slightly modular ambient journey through forgotten breath, moon gardens, and new constellations.
Side A opens in Zürich intimate forgetting and Berlin blue hour, then dips through Kansas-Welsh dream remix, coastal winter voices, Portland octophobic pulse, and Ostrava time-observation. Side B lifts into Amsterdam glowing trails, Bristol granular blue, a Home Normal moon garden, Melbourne tribute to Carme, a February ambient waltz, and a Preston snowflake preview.
Overall mood: Melancholic, textural, and quietly luminous — full of exclusive transmissions, tape-like processing, and small rooms opening onto larger weather. Perfect for blue hour, deep listening, or sitting still while the winter mix keeps breathing for you.
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.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 291
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-291/
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. 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 warm, earthy ambient journey through shared currents, evening rituals, and what remains after the light fades.
Side A gathers jungle meetings and sacred tea, then moves through sunset marrow, mountain mist, solitary machine colour, and warm rainfall microliths. Side B opens liminal gazes and Holkham shorelines, then settles into piano placeholders, remaining polaroids, morning inlight, and a summer curve of insect hum.
Overall mood: Contemplative, healing, and quietly luminous — full of tape hiss, shoreline near-silence, and small rites of duration. Perfect for dusk listening, deep rest, or sitting with what stays.
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.
00:01:18 Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster – Unite
Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster – Unite. Jungle scan and echolocation gather as travellers of the past step into shared current. Illustration and tape hiss hold the meeting.
00:07:02 Time Rival – Sacred Tea
Time Rival – Sacred Tea. Tongue drums, kalimba, flute and sun-bleached saturation pour from a planner marked new music. The brew arrives cooked, oversaturated, warm.
00:14:09 Bålsam – Every Sunset
Bålsam – Every Sunset. Cicadas and river-rush enter the marrow. A mother’s voice message and a daughter’s unburdened tone sit among orchids and damp earth. Healing moves as pulse.
00:17:40 Maps and Diagrams – Mist on the Mountain
Maps and Diagrams – Mist on the Mountain. Loops and found sources cycle and fade. Subtle variation and decay keep happening in quiet instability.
00:21:40 Toàn – DEL 0
Toàn – DEL 0. A single Deluge machine, tape loops, harp and bowed tones layer into synesthetic colour. Solitude hangs as an invisible wall of texture.
00:26:01 zakè, Ossa, ASC – Microlith 8
zakè, Ossa, ASC – Microlith 8. Shimmering keys pour like warm rainfall. Analog lines, chest-deep bass and tape-saturated mist carry 90s ambient memory toward an ambiguous horizon.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
00:27:48 Philippe Blache – Let This Gaze Be Our Part
Philippe Blache – Let This Gaze Be Our Part. Liminal corridors and flowing memory open in meandering textures. Imaginary territories rise through melancholia and repetition.
00:33:47 (EXCLUSIVE) Richard Sage – Holkham
Richard Sage – Holkham. Tripod, Zoom and iPhone gather wave-analogues and shoreline seeds. Near silence wears its own palette.
00:41:25 Audio Obscura – Placeholder for Meaning
Audio Obscura – Placeholder for Meaning. Piano improvisation from Whitby finds its way after months of stillness. Pyramid shapes and late-year fruit settle into place.
00:48:55 Laurel Morgan & Yorkshire Modular Society – Remaining
Laurel Morgan & Yorkshire Modular Society – Remaining. Polaroids and modular breath keep what stays. Scrapbook pages hold the UK location in quiet duration.
00:53:21 David Cordero & Aiko Takahashi – Inlight
David Cordero & Aiko Takahashi – Inlight. Piano notes float as points of light. Modular tones gather in soft waves around the threshold of morning.
00:56:45 CIRC – Summer Curve
CIRC – Summer Curve. Insect hum and rustle become looped ethereal texture. Everyday night turns into a small sonic rite.
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.

Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 102
Neptune Sky.
Welcome to Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library episode 102 A 90-minute 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. Today’s flight is partially sponsored by these generous labels: Astra Solaria Recordings, Castles In Space, ARCHIVES, Error Prone Records, Moniker Eggplant, Sonor Music Editions, Bricolage, rohs! records, Mystery Circles,
As well as these artists who have sent me material: Augen, The Green Kingdom, Phil Dodds from Allmanna Town.
Much love to my Co-Host the poet, the Psychonaut, Nanogod, for his visualisations of what’s going on during the episodes.
Special thanks to Free Album Codes—always fueling the episodes with Bandcamp gems. 🙏
Also shout outs to, aeon_music, and Ottervision, for the follows, likes and comments.
At least two of the tracks contain the Bucla Music Easel.
The A side contains “On The Waves Of Neptune” an exclusive from the album “Where Trees Go To Die” the latest offering from Stone Anthem, a hallucinatory journey through ambient textures, dense organic drones, and otherworldly frequencies. Layering field recordings, modular synthesis, and hushed vocals, the album was created in an attempt to maximise immersion and create a sonic field of bliss, a slow-evolving soundscape where perception bends and time dissolves. The album’s initial blueprint was created in a quiet hamlet in the Spanish mountains in 2023 with very little equipment. So the scenery of forests and mountains were a great influence on the album’s development. This is also from where all of the field recordings on the album were sourced.
Castles in Space is delighted to be working with this charismatic, vibrant and super-talented young artist. He’s just turned 18.
The B side contains an exclusive by colab who I know nothing about and I don’t believe are the Georgian Hard techno outfit. The track here, Troubled appears on the Bricolage labels 27 track compilation album X celebrating their 10th year of magical releases. It’s a ‘who’s who’ of the label past, present and future. Do check it out. Links to everything played are in the show notes and in the comments.
Otherwise Check out HDRFs musical journey on Invisible Waves – The Stories.
I won’t be commenting between the tracks. You can join nanogods poetic visualisations on the time line. Don’t be shy.
