Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 184
08 March 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Welcome to Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, Episode 184, your virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. As per usual we’ll dive into 20 artists. All the shows have three word subtitles for places that have some meaning for me personally. These are also used as names for the background music in show intros and outros. This episodes’ subtitle is notes.seaweed.rashers and is the geolocation of a rather good Sushi joint in Bromma Stockholm, Takumi Ramen & Sushi, which serves Burrito sushi rolls. Anyway, These episodes drop about three times a week with no fixed schedule—just pure passion for independent music. So do follow the Mixcloud page and the socials to stay up to date. Picture yourself settling into a cozy nook overlooking a misty ocean, cassette player in hand, as we embark on this auditory journey. Kicking things off with Dune by Atabasca from the album of the same name, out on Killer Groove Records, released March 27, 2026. This piece crafts a hypnotic rhythm that transports listeners across expansive, sun-baked terrains with effortless groove.
That was Dune by Atabasca.
Next up, Liboi with The rainforest (Central African Republic) from the album A Century of Sounds on Cities and Memory, released February 23, 2026. Capturing the raw symphony of nature in a way that feels alive and immersive, blending field sounds into an organic tapestry. I envision the dense canopy of ancient trees parting to reveal hidden streams, drawing us deeper into the heart of a vibrant wilderness.
That was Liboi and The rainforest (Central African Republic). If you’re not into all the talk between the tracks there is the option of subscribing for less than a cup of coffee on a monthly basis. Then you get these episodes as continuous babble free mixes a day or so ahead of what you’re listening to now.
Any hoo, Echoes lingering in the undergrowth, fading into a stranger’s whisper that pulls you toward unfamiliar shadows. here’s Stranger In Me (feat. autumna) by gribbles from the album githerments #1, released November 8, 2024.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 176
04 February 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve managed to carve out for yourself. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode 176. I’m your guide, Trevor.
The cassette sits ready in the deck, labels hand-scribbled, oxide already flaking a bit at the edges. Side A and Side B, twenty artists strung across them like beads on a frayed string. We’ll flip the tape halfway through, that satisfying clunk and hiss, because some things refuse to be digital.
Tonight we drift through ambient drifts, kosmische pulses, drone meditations, a touch of library funk, some psychedelic sprawl, electroacoustic murmurs from places like Bulgaria, the UK, Munich, Buenos Aires, Athens, Rome, Sheffield, Colorado, and a few others that don’t fit neatly on any map. The longest track stretches out patiently, Asha Patera’s – Wandering in the Upside Down from Sounds for the Soul Records, clocking in at just over 11 minutes. Durations aside, none hurry. There’s an exclusive track which open the B side from Moscow artist DEE_KAY and his track Bellcut. But we’ll get to all that in a bit.
Headphones on if you’ve got them. Volume where it feels intimate. Let the kettle whistle if it wants to. The world can wait.
We begin with a January release from the Mahorka label in Bulgaria, a collected volume of drone and teknoiz spanning a decade. Autonomаton offers The UFO project remix—eerie, floating synth washes that suggest something observed from a great height, unhurried and slightly unsettling in the best way. From the album Collected Not Lost 2015-2025 Vol 1: Drone and Teknoiz.
Autonomаton – The UFO project remix.
Next, Mark Ellery Griffiths with Synthi Sequence B. Loops and sequences built on vintage synths, patient repetitions that build quiet architectures. Mark is a regular of my shows and doesn’t get the credit he should. Check out his Bandcamp releases. He’s nudging on 50 and they’re name your price. Synthi Loops Sequences 2025 – Self released back in December.
Mark Ellery Griffiths – Synthi Sequence B.
Danielle Nia now, Longing For Togetherness. Warm, enveloping tones from i u we records, a gentle pull toward connection without ever forcing the issue. Stunning patchwork from the great Connected 3 compilation. Released a couple of weeks back on i u we records.
Danielle Nia – Longing For Togetherness.
Greek artist Substak and his track Apartment Window from Belgian ambient label Daydreamers. A quick view onto quiet streets, field recordings woven into subtle rhythms, the sound of somewhere lived-in and watched over time. From the EP Empty Bench – released not two weeks ago.
Substak – Apartment Window.
A good friend of the channel Asha Patera, Wandering in the Upside Down. Dream-logic drifts and inverted atmospheres from Sounds for the Soul Records, like walking through familiar rooms that have rearranged themselves while you slept. The Vale of Shadows – Sounds for the Soul. Which is a Stranger Things inspired ambient compilation. Also released in January. This is the long haul.
Asha Patera – Wandering in the Upside Down.
Belgian artist Jeroen Lauwers is, Red Stars Over Tokyo with In Trance from self released The Burning Spiral. Pulsing, hypnotic acid tinged layers that suggest endless night drives through neon-lit cities that might not exist. The Burning Spiral. released back in December.
Red Stars Over Tokyo – In Trance.
Southend On Sea artist Adrian Lane, After The Deluge. Post-flood calm, piano and strings emerging from residue, reflective, haunted and sparse. Their Ghosts and Ours – out on Sheffields finest Audiobulb.
Adrian Lane – After The Deluge.
Argentinian artist Puppy Bordiga with mRn, Solarium. Collaborative warmth, sunlit electronics and gentle percussion from Walking the Way III. Self released back in November.
Puppy Bordiga with mRn – Solarium.
ATA Records is a label and I can’t get my head around if they are also a band. They really know their library stuff but on this release and others the artist is simply ATA Records, no credits to the artists which is a shame. Anyway This is Tatsuya, The Sword. Library archive material, cinematic and evocative, with a heartfelt flute. drawn from Vol 4. The Library Archive Vol 4 – ATA Records.
ATA Records – Tatsuya, The Sword.
Tape flip. The mechanism clicks, heads realign, oxide continues its slow decay. Side B.
Coming up the exclusive for episode 176 is by Moscow Marist DEE-KEY now, Bellcut. Sharp, precise cuts through ambient haze from Local Gods. Local Gods. Drops next week in the 12 of February. Remember where you heard it first.
DEE-KEY – Bellcut.
Now from one of the best Italian jazz-funk library albums of the ’70s. Oscar Rocchi’s Genziana. Herbal, pastoral electronics evoking wild flowers and Italian hillsides, from Erbe Selvatiche on Four Flies Vaults which is the digital imprint of Four Flies Records.
Oscar Rocchi – Genziana.
Now to a favourite label and a release from November. Grant Beasley, The Vanishing Point. This is the title track. Horizon-line drones and slow dissolves. Grant Beasley – The Vanishing Point – Cyclical Dreams.
Grant Beasley – The Vanishing Point.
Next filter sweep time. LA artist Good Sunset, Taormina. Which is a hilltop town on the island of Sicily and I bet they have good sunsets there. Sun-drenched, cinematic reveries from Cinema Everything on Mystery Circles.
Good Sunset – Taormina.
And here’s one from me, under Trevlad—EXPANSIVE WAVES 18 (Slipping Precautions Obvious). A previous transmission excerpt, layered and recursive. TVCL 07 – Trevlad.
Trevlad – EXPANSIVE WAVES 18 (Slipping Precautions Obvious).
Next the poppiest piece I’ve played in a good while. Nostalgia 77, You Where In My Dream Last Night. Dream-state jazz inflections, soft and lingering. Love the bass lines and sound. This is the first single from their upcoming EP titled: When The Lights Gone. Which drops on the 1 May on Nostalgia 77’s Bandcamp page.
Nostalgia 77 – You Where In My Dream Last Night.
Next up Guitars and synth with GROSSO GADGETTO, and “the track Once there was only dark”. Apocalyptic soundscapes for a world winding down, from “Soundtrack for a Dying World by Dark Supreme & Grosso Gadgetto”. Sampled voices of Matthew McConaughey & Woody Harrelson.
GROSSO GADGETTO – “Once there was only dark”.
Now get your world music psychedelic slippers on. We’re off to Melbourne Australia. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Flying Microtonal Banana. Microtonal excursions, psychedelic without apology, the shortest in the episode at 2:34 yet packing strange tunings into tight space. From the album of the same fantastic name. Released on the Heavenly Recordings label about a year ago.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Flying Microtonal Banana.
Now back to 2021 and some wonky synth chords. Near Stoic, Music For A Friend. Intimate, thoughtful pieces from Notebook Thoughts Short Stories on Third Kind Records. A definite Boards of Canada vibe to this one.
Near Stoic – Music For A Friend.
Now I wish my doorbell sounded more like this. The penultimate track and the ultimate wind down. Miguel Otero, Blooming in Sturton Street. Gentle blooms and street-level calm from Islas Calm Cloud. One of the recent compilations let loose on Whitelabrecs. Get it now…
Miguel Otero – Blooming in Sturton Street.
And before the tape ends. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for haste, and neither, I suspect, are you. Support the artists if any of this lodged somewhere—buy the music, share the names. Stream this one on Mixcloud for a week if you need to revisit. All the paths and links live at trevor.se.
And if it was possible to close on a chiller note I think I have you covered. We close with Astropilot, The River Knows No Hurry. Flowing, unforced kosmische from Stockholm label Valley View Records, a reminder that some currents simply continue.
Until the next time the cassette calls. Stay resonant. Stay expansive. Let the sounds find their own way.
Trevor, signing off.
