Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 315

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.
Moss collecting light before the record exists, then tour days that travel only as far as their own shadow.
Side A gathers moss on a lotus that has not officially opened, parks Sol in the cat’s window, breaks Kerala dawn against industrial dusk, coils organisms above the weather, circumnavigates on a borrowed lighthouse, and smears 1982 until the hair still looks like a forecast. Side B lives in the umbra that remembers what cast it, opens water with no coastline drawn on it, retires speech for the evening, keeps a 2012 hold tone wearing pearls, jams Golden Acres until the punchline clocks out, and packs IDM for a journey only a shadow completes.
Overall mood: Contemplative, prismatic, and quietly migratory — full of exclusive October light, borrowed signals, and harbour lamps left on anyway. Perfect for dusk listening, hold music that never connects, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Shout out to my new subscriber Vivid Stars Forgotten. One more subscriber and we hit the Mixcloud minimum for a payout — the kind that keeps the channel’s lights on after dark. If you’ve been hovering at the door, this is the hour to step in.

Mood mist: moss collecting light before the record exists, a sun parked in the cat’s window, dawn as deconstructed club, organisms coiled above the weather, a borrowed lighthouse for a full orbit, 1982 seen through a lens that will not sharpen.

Soft Focus ’82. The year smeared just enough that the hair still looks like a forecast.

Mood mist: songs that live in the shade, water with no map drawn on it, speech retired for the evening, a hold tone wearing pearls, a jam in the golden acres, tour days that travel only as far as their own shadow.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 304

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 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. 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.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 266. 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 gentle, introspective ambient journey through awareness, weightlessness, storms, and quiet reflection.
Side A moves from attentive listening and zero-gravity daydreams into open arms and sweltering heat. Side B drifts through afflicted warmth, dawn-to-dusk passage, dramatic storms, blank slates, mirrored reflections, and motivated absence.
Overall mood: Contemplative, tender, and atmospheric — balancing soft intimacy with moments of intensity. Ideal for deep listening, meditation, or peaceful solitude.
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 1 089 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 of the 24 buildings in the veil. You can read about it on my Substack page. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures.
On this TVCL episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Japanese sound artist yolabmi rouses us with their soundworld in the track “Awareness” from the album “Internal Resurrection” available via the wonderful Lithuanian label Amulet of Tears.
Followed by the collaboration of Tobias Lorsbach aka Logic Moon and JJ Rogalski aka Piscean Daydreams in their deep drone, space ambient track “Life in Zero Gravity” from the album Musica Universalis which you can get through Chitra Records sub label Ambient Cat.
Then Paris based Italian modular composer Alessandro De Nicola bathes us in drone in the track titled “Open Arms” from the 27 track double baby pink cassette compilation “Connection: sculpting silence” from 2024 out on Hylé Tapes.
The penultimate track of the first side of the virtual cassette is by Danish artist øjeRum (eye space), and their piece titled “Et Pust I Sivet”(A Breath Among the Reeds) from the 2022 album Butterfly Tongues More Ancient Than Flowers. Available through Amulet of Tears.
Finishing off the first half is Cincinnati, Ohio based friend Ed Herbers with a track many of us have felt recently titled “Sweltering” from the third of his four part album series titled “Season Cycle: Summer” from the always brilliant Passed Recordings label.
But first, to set the vibe is British producer Ryan Bissett, aka Halftribe, with a gentle, atmospheric invitation into the episode via the track “Listen” from the album “Disappear in Silent Ways” out on Dutch label DRONARIVM.
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 Rick Jones better known as Dark Fidelity Hi Fi in a short colourful cascade in the track “Dawn To Dusk Passenger” from the Limited Edition CD album “Your Skyline Correspondent” and that’s out on Glasgow based super label Bricolage.
After that Minneapolis, Minnesota based duo Amy McNally and Matthew Hiram aka Visible Light with their immersive field recordings from El Yunque Bosque Nacional, Puerto Rico and a piece titled “La Tormenta” (The Storm) from the eco-friendly CD EP Sierra de Luquillo: A Living Soundscape.
Then Los Angeles, California based friend David Strother brings the track that inspired this episode titled “Tabula Rasa” a short suggestive violin piece from his latest release “A Brilliant Midnight”.
Then the penultimate track for today comes in the form of another track from that wonderful Hylé Tapes compilation “Connection: sculpting silence” this time by the amazing modular artist Andrea Cichecki and the bubbling sounds of “Mirrored reflections”.
Finishing us off is Québec based artist Mathieu Lamontagne better known as Arbee and the modular based track “Absence motivée” (excused absence) from the album “En vain” (In Vain) out on the ever astounding Ambient Cat label.
But first, Anthony Asher-Yates the artist behind Bålsam with a highly personal ambient track titled “Afligido” (Afflicted) from the album “Soñador” (Dreamer), available on a stunning cassette release from DRONARIVM sister label Le Mont Analogue, Enjoy…

This is also a coordinate where shadows stretch long over Stigbergs Fot, a wonderful Stockholm craft beer joint I highly recommend. It’s a crisp February 27, 2026 here. Picture this: a dimly lit attic stacked with glowing tape decks, reels spinning like forgotten galaxies, pulling you into a sonic odyssey for the curious explorer.
Subscribe to the channel to hear these shows whenever you please. Subscribers also get mix versions of the episodes without the talky bits.
Just a quick shout out to the latest followers Toneshift who is An artist-curated podcast focused on global hybrids and other acquired tastes. Also souljazzfunksters aka Dj Alan Ritchie playing just what the name suggests. Thanks guys.
We kick off in a vast, 9 minute, echoing void with Small Chief’s The Silent Zone, evoking cracked earth under a moonless sky, whispers of wind carving canyons in the quiet.
From the album Zero Movement out on Cyclical Dreams. So headphones on, let time dissolve and let the frequencies claim you.…
Next Tornado Wallace summons Asahi Ga Yondeiru featuring Courtney Bailey, like dawn rays piercing misty rice fields, steam rising from dew-kissed leaves in a serene call to awaken. Fist pumping electronica here. From the EP Left At Sunset, out on the Running Back label.
Now, Consumed Triumphant & Pavel Blumkin ignite Invisible Fire, flames dancing unseen in a dense forest at midnight, embers glowing through fog-shrouded branches. From the conceptual EP The Chariot.
Next d’Voxx haunts with Phantom (Nosferatu the Vampyre), a crumbling castle turret where caped figures glide across cobblestone, echoes of eternal night in the stone. From the album HERZOG: A Retrospective out on the great DiN label.
Coming up Lorenzo Montanà invites us into Mirrors’ Den, reflections fracturing in a labyrinth of glass, endless hallways mirroring starlit illusions. From the NYP album Velan out on Projekt Records. Go add this to your collection.
And now I Trevlad stir Easy Begun Meals, a cluttered kitchen at sunrise, pots simmering with unexpected spices, steam curling like improvised melodies.
From the ninth collection of episode background soundtracks. If you can’t subscribe to the Mixcloud channel please consider purchasing an album on Bandcamp.
Next, the longest outing on this episode clocking in at 9 minutes 36 seconds. Jake Soffer & Brent Carmer open The Room Where We Met, faded wallpaper peeling in a sunlit chamber, dust motes swirling in golden beams of memory. From the album Imaginary Rooms. Another Projekt Records NYP release.
Now, Shrimpnose lifts us to Hovering, clouds parting over a floating city, gentle drifts in an aerial ballet of soft geometries. From the album Aureolin Winter out on La’s Friends Of Friends label.
The penultimate track for this side of the virtual cassette. Kavalcade unleashes DECAY 01, rusted machinery grinding in an abandoned factory, sparks flying from corroded gears under flickering neon. From the EP SIGNAL which drops May 1 on Machine Records.
We end the first half with Philippe Petit who drapes Tropicalism in an Empire wardrobe, velvet curtains parting on a colonial ballroom overgrown with vines, exotic blooms tangling with faded grandeur. The shortest piece at only 49 seconds. From the album The Acoustic Cornet, an hommage to Leonora Carrington out on Mahorka.
Flipping to the B side, Nadia Struiwigh modulates MOD1, circuit boards humming in a sterile lab, pulses syncing like neural fireworks in chrome reflections. From a compilation I’ve played extensively on the channel, connected #3, from the great label i u we records.
Next, a show exclusive. The Eyes and the Mistoids trail Snails That Failed, slimy paths glistening on rain-slicked garden stones, slow spirals unraveling under overcast skies. From the album The Beware Gallery which will drop on March 20 on Waxing Crescent Records.
Now, Brass Clouds, Fog Net, & Volcanic Pinnacles plunge into Subduction, tectonic plates shifting beneath ocean depths, bubbles rising from volcanic vents in abyssal gloom. From the album Dive 2: Sonoluminescence out on Bathysphere Records.
Coming up, Erik Wøllo charts North Trek, snow-capped peaks piercing arctic twilight, auroras weaving ribbons across frozen expanses. From the album, Snow Tides. Yet another NYP release from Projekt Records.
Next, Helyg Weidenbach erects Dream Scaffold I, ethereal ladders climbing into cloud realms, mist-shrouded rungs leading to surreal vistas. From the album, Traumgerüst, also a NYP album courtesy of The Dream Journal Institute.
Now, Amanda Whiting wanders Mary Over There, a foggy meadow at dusk, wildflowers nodding in the haze of distant horizons. Most recently released on the NYP compilation album Two Syllables Volume Twenty Two. Released by First Word Records.
Next, Louis Sarno captures Bayaka women singing yeyi in the forest (Central African Republic), ancient trees canopying harmonious calls, leaves rustling in rhythmic unity with hidden streams. From the compilation A Century of Sounds out on Cities and Memory.
Now, Japanese artist Yasutaka Sato aka Virgo blooms Zoophyte, underwater gardens swaying in currents, coral tendrils unfurling like living sculptures in turquoise light. From the album, Roots of Memories (Remastered- Deluxe Edition), out on Neo Ouija.
Next we switch it up. Psyché brews another exclusive track, Yagé, jungle vines twisting around a ceremonial fire, visions flickering in the smoke of ritual embers. From the album Psyché II dropping on Four Flies Records on March 20.
And we’ve reached the final track. Thanks for sticking around for this virtual mix show, twenty artists lighting up the unknown. No rigid timetable, just raw devotion to the waves. Subscribe for anytime access, including babble-free mixes. Drop your sounds at trevlad@gmail.com, and trace the trails at trevor.se.
And finally The Gaye Device flows with Ebb And Flow, tidal pools reflecting shifting skies, waves lapping at barnacle-encrusted rocks in perpetual motion. From couple of places, the latest being, the Sounds for the Soul label compilation – Ocean Compilation 2.
