Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 227
Motionless Zenith Relic

Based on the track “Motionless (In Reality)” from the album “Farside Of The Sun” by “Sick Robot”.
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 varied electronic journey blending fragile nostalgia and quirky experimentation with sleek techno, healing warmth, and brooding intensity.
Side A shifts from delicate decay through playful acid and driving retro-futurism into mechanical unease. Side B moves from dramatic weight into restorative grooves, luminous peaks, and ends on warm, human analogue comfort.
Overall mood: Atmospheric, slightly uncanny, and emotionally contrasting — moving between tension, healing, and cosy nostalgia. Perfect for late-night drives, focused listening, or immersive background vibes.
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.
Side A
00:00:00 Backwards Cavern – Paper Relic
Fragile, dusty ambient with decaying textures and nostalgic relic-like warmth. Intimate and ephemeral.
00:06:11 Oh Mr James – The Acid Riddle
Playful, riddle-like acid electronics with quirky grooves and mysterious charm. Fun and offbeat.
00:09:29 TV-99-AD – Technology Release (Darren Nye Remix)
Sleek, futuristic techno with crisp percussion and retro-futurist drive. Clean and propulsive.
00:15:23 Revok – The Chauffeur
Smooth, cruising electronic with darkwave edges and elegant forward motion. Stylish and hypnotic.
00:19:27 Sick Robot – Motionless (In Reality)
Glitchy, robotic ambient/techno with frozen tension and mechanical unease. Stark and intriguing.
Side B
00:25:19 Virtually J – Tribunal
Severe, judicial electronic with heavy atmosphere and dramatic weight. Intense and cinematic.
00:32:13 Auscultation – Mend
Healing, warm deep house/ambient with gentle rhythms and soothing textures. Tender and restorative.
00:37:20 Eden Grey – Zenith
Peak, luminous ambient with glowing heights and celestial serenity. Radiant and expansive.
00:41:32 NDORFIK – Tervu
Mysterious, textured electronic with Nordic-tinged atmosphere and subtle ritualism. Atmospheric and grounded.
00:44:58 Sussex Telecom – Incident At Idle Lake
Eerie, narrative hauntology with quiet tension and lakeside mystery. Subtle and storytelling.
00:48:38 BUNKR – Rtaur
Raw, experimental electronics with heavy, industrial-edged grooves. Uncompromising and visceral.
00:53:10 Rupert Lally – Warm Computers
Cosy, analogue warmth with gentle synths and comforting digital humanism. Nostalgic and inviting.

28 March 2026

hey.
welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the drywall.
this is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. episode one-eight-eight.
we’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous, but really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the city outside forgets we exist.
bags.colder.inched.
a great Thai restaurant, apparently. now it’s a coordinate for whatever this episode is.
twenty artists. no schedule. drops when the mood hits.
labels haunting the margins: Passed Recordings, whitelabrecs, Ingrown, Audiobulb… you know the ones.
braindance, idm, alternative, whatever slips between the cracks like water through broken concrete.
Honolulu to Amsterdam to Prague to Saint Petersburg. the world’s shrinking but the weird pockets are still warm.
send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
send stories for Chord Confessions. that track that ruined you or saved you. i’ll read it in my sleep-voice or you record it yourself. win-win-win.
I’m also doing Trev Tales now—little dreams stitched into the sets. long lucid naps you’re not sure you want to wake up from.
headphones on.
let time dissolve.
and let the frequencies claim you.
First out from the amazing Passed Recordings label stable Cavern Cult – Of Hope (from the album Approach)
This is followed by Russian idm champ NDORFIK – Joensuu from the album NORTHERN CACHE out on Clean Error Records after that some Loneward. but first Of Hope by Offenbach based Cavern Cult.
That was Mike Carss aka Loneward – The Unknowable Realm of Wisdom from the album Paradox of Silken Stars out on Altus Music.
Next up we head back to 2018 The Microgram – No Service from the album Savage Architecture which I received courtesy of Free Album Codes, cheers mate. Out on the Lansing, Michigan based Kaiseki Digital label.
This is followed by another great Passed Recordings release by David Aimone – Curiosità Ajmone and the track TimeDown
After that The Bird’s Companion and Neil McRoberts but first No Service by The Microgram.
You’ve just been listening to The Bird’s Companion and Neil McRoberts – Another Day from a few places, one of them being the compilation This Burnished Land a wonderful NYP release on whitelabrecs.
Coming up some quality indie pop in the form of Saya Gray – LIE DOWN.. from the album SAYA out on Dirty Hit records.
Followed by California beach vibes with Poolside – Looking Backwards out on Counter Records. and then some Black Country, New Road but first LIE DOWN.. by Saya Gray
That was the post-rock stylings of Black Country, New Road – Intro from the album Ants From Up There out on Ninja Tune.
Next up the episodes newest release by Jics. Out on whitelabrecs today March 28th.
Followed by Man as Island – Automaton from the album AN that’s out on Russian label Local Gods and was sent in by NDORFIK who I played earlier. After that the virtual B side flip but first Jics – What Brings You Here from the album New South Wales.

Next up Leslie Lowder aka idiiom – Solitude from the album Neural Network out on the Audiobulb label.
after that Blank Embrace – The Caves from the 2018 release Ascension out on the Kaiseki Digital label.
Then some odd person
You’ve just witnessed odd person – earthquake anxiety – my dismal arcadia available on the outstanding Ingrown Records label. Who is homeless at the moment so any purchases from them could be life saving.
Coming up me, Trevlad – Pipe Fluid Fame which is a location from a Hotel in Dublin where I recorded the visual for the video that goes with this piece. All my track names are geolocations of places that mean something to me personally. I use them for the backgrounds in the intros and outros of the episodes Pipe Fluid Fame is from episode 165 back in January. After that Simon Holmes – Broken (South Sudan) from the compilation A Century of Sounds out on the legendary Cities and Memory label. This is followed by Tomo Katsurada & Misha Panfilov but first myself as Trevlad with Pipe Fluid Fame.
That was Tomo Katsurada & Misha Panfilov – Mostra – Eternal Almost out on the label Future Days Radio run by Tomo himself.
Now the penultimate piece of episode 188 of Trev’s Virtual cassette library is by Wunderfish – Through Painted Figures (Prologue) – the third piece in the show from the Kaiseki Digital label courtesy of the amazing Free album Codes. This one’s from the compilation Bento Box, Vol. 1
We end this adventure with a stunning 8 minute outing by Ben McElroy – Surely There Are Worse Things – from the album Bird-Stone which you could purchase via whitelabrecs.
that’s it for episode 188.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178
15 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 fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
A sonic 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.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
We float tonight through drifts of ambient electronic, modular wanderings, dubwise echoes, some art rock angles, leftfield pop inflections, drone undertows, and the odd burst of experimental pop. Places flicker by: Wormhole World gatherings, Republic of Music corners, Castles in Space haunts, Invisible Inc. pathways, Four Flies shadows, and points scattered from Lancashire to Vilnius, Munich to Mexico City.
The longest stretch in the selection comes from Caught in Joy – Elsewhere, a patient unravelling that lingers in the mind. The shortest snaps past in a flash with Allmanna Town – Sample 24, not even reaching the minute mark.
We begin with Dubberrookie and Winter Weather, a seasonal drift from A Wormhole Xmas 2025 on Wormhole World. Chilled dub pulses meet wintry synth haze, gentle echoes folding into themselves like snow settling on rooftops.
Headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the frequencies claim you.
Dubberrookie – Winter Weather. Dubberrookie will appear on my upcoming compilation “Puzzles of the Psyche”. There’s still time. Send in your entries by March 25.
Now Floating Points with Precursor, the bonus unreleased cut from the Elaenia 10 Year Anniversary on the Republic of Music label. Sparse piano gestures meet subtle electronic undercurrents, a quiet prelude that breathes slow and deliberate.
Floating Points – Precursor.
Next up Bahia Brazil based artist – Navin Kala offers Vijf from Spinoza on a favourite label of the show Mystery Circles. Minimalist piano lines trace thoughtful paths, space around each note allowing contemplation to gather.
Navin Kala – Vijf. A reminder now if you have a piece of music that has meant a lot to you for some reason tell me about it. I’m putting together a new show called “Chord Confessions” and I need some tales behind the most important music ever released. PM me on the socials or email me trevlad@gmail.com Now back to the show.
Now amping up the drone. Stewart Keller brings Disheveled Zen from the whopping 100 track 2020-2025 Archives. Loosened field recordings and soft electronics tangle in a relaxed, almost accidental calm.
Stewart Keller – Disheveled Zen.
Here’s me Trevlad with Curving Archive Scales from the Trick or Treat 4 compilation on Sounds for the Soul. Archive dust and curving scales weave a long, meditative thread, time marked in subtle modular shifts.
Trevlad – Curving Archive Scales. Just a quick shout out to the latest followers Bernt Haas, who I believe is part of the Cries from the LTN outfit. Also Liquid Shape and The Tall Librarian. Thanks for the follow.
Now Mexico City based artists Eafhm and Mwamwa collaborate on Luzne (Mwamwa Part) from the split release on Secuencias Temporales. Dubby bass hums beneath fragmented vocal traces, a hazy half-step wander.
Eafhm, Mwamwa – Luzne (Mwamwa Part).
And now for something completely different. Deerhoof deliver L’Amour Stories from Apple O’ on Joyful Noise Recordings. Quick, angular art rock bursts with playful yelps and tight rhythmic jabs.
Deerhoof – L’Amour Stories.
Garda slips in Substratum from S-Lyga on the Neotantra label. Deep drone layers build slow atmospheric weight, substratum textures rumbling low.
Garda – Substratum.
Now time to punk it up. Tinned Meats present Caught in the Wild from Kilter on I Heart Noise. Raw edges meet noisy propulsion, caught somewhere between garage grit and wilder impulses. Mad stuff…
Tinned Meats – Caught in the Wild.
And now Keith Seatman with Tonight’s Guests Are? from the forthcoming Counting to Ten Then Back Again on Castles in Space. Radiophonic quirks and psych-folk fragments evoke childhood games and firework packaging memories, playful yet oddly disorienting.
Keith Seatman – Tonight’s Guests Are?
The Polish legend of Coconut Creek, Caught in Joy closes Side A with Elsewhere.
Karol is the most prolific Berlin school artist on the planet. He produces so much quality music on a weekly basis. Which he records live and can be witnessed on his Youtube channel. Analogue drooling adventures. The track Elsewhere is from the release Colorfield. Self released back in mid December. Karol has released 4 albums since then just for some perspective. This is Analogue coloured space drifts to close out the first side of the show.
Side B
We turn the cassette. If you have something you want featured on the shows lease don’t be shy. I’m not on a schedule which means I get to do shows several times a week, which means you won’t have to wait long to hear your music here. Here’s a label that does just that from the fantastic Italian label Four Flies Records. Chiaré opens with Ago e Filo from the album Sei. Italian library echoes meet modern restraint, strings and subtle grooves threading through.
Chiaré – Ago e Filo.
Now LOULA YORKE shares The Hidden Messages in Water (Live at the Mount Without) from Live Compendium 2 on Truxalis. Live-captured modular meditations unfold with quiet intensity, water-like ripples expanding.
LOULA YORKE – The Hidden Messages in Water (Live at the Mount Without).
Next another artist who has contributed in the past to my compilations the fantastic The Music Liberation Front Sweden who arrive with A Lot Of Things Ain’t Changing from their collection on Third Kind Records. Warped pop edges bend familiar shapes into something skewed and resilient.
The Music Liberation Front Sweden – A Lot Of Things Ain’t Changing.
And Now Higamos Hogamos rework Re-Exit (GK Machine Dub Voyager) from Voyager Dubs on Glasgows Invisible, Inc. Deep dub transformations stretch the original into cavernous space.
Higamos Hogamos – Re-Exit (GK Machine Dub Voyager).
Francesca Guccione offers Mechanical Promenade from Connected 3 on IUWE Records. Mechanical rhythms promenade alongside delicate electric piano, a poised mechanical dance. A wonderful must have compilation celebrating 9 of the best female experimental electronic out there. In fact the entire label focuses on the beauty of female diversity in electronic music. Enjoy.
Francesca Guccione – Mechanical Promenade.
Komodo Kolektif follow with Disciple Of The Drone (GK Machine Disciple Of The Dub) also from that Voyager Dubs compilation on Invisible, Inc. Drone devotion meets dub disciple rites, heavy and hypnotic. Invisible, Inc. is a label I wish I could play more of on the channel, and just can’t for financial reasons. They are great so if you can grab some of their beautiful physical releases.
Komodo Kolektif – Disciple Of The Drone (GK Machine Disciple Of The Dub).
Now friend of the show Russian artist Ndorfik contributes Tahvi from Solos on People Can Listen. 5/8 Idm explorations carve sparse, introspective paths. Ndorfik has enlightened me on the fact that Mixcloud is not available without streaming through VPNs in his neck of the woods. So I send him the files of past shows so he can spread the good word.
Ndorfik – Tahvi.
Now the penultimate track and two masters of the ambient scene. Rhucle & Arbee bring Mournful Sky from Plain on David Cordero curated label Noray Records. Mournful ambient skies drift with gentle melancholy, field-like textures breathing slow.
Rhucle & Arbee – Mournful Sky.
Material for future shows is always welcome. Send your vibrations to trevlad@gmail.com. Purchase paths glow at trevor.se and in each show’s timeline.
Until the next cassette turns.
Trevor, signing off from Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178.
I leave you with the very short track Sample 24 by Allmanna Town Allmanna Town is Phil Dodds who runs the amazing Waxing Crescent Records and my fellow Stockholm dweller Jonas Geiger Ohlin of The New Emphatic fame. this track is from Rodents out on their own Bandcamp imprint. Sampled fragments glitch and reform in rodent-quick bursts.
And that fades us out. Cheerio…

8 December 2025

“Greetings all. Episode one-five-two of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Tactical Flagged Happen. That’s the track you hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—it’s up on YouTube if you’re curious.
I’m Trevor. Ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. In this episode you’ll hear Dude, Finn Rees, Cognition Delay on Mahorka, elders from Driftworks, and Warmth on Archives. Later, The Black Dog, Hélène Vogelsinger, Sven Wunder, and my own track Plank Glides Enigma drift through the mix. Everyday Dust, Ndorfik, and Gollden on Imaginary North carry us into the B side.
Labels orbiting here include Neo Ouija, Leaving Records, and Intellitronic Bubble. Styles range from ambient and IDM to vaporwave, kosmische, and spiritual jazz. These transmissions stretch across places—Melbourne, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Sheffield—woven into the resonance of the library.
The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre‑order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. Every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”
