Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 191
09 April 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Hey.
Welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the wall.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-one.
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 world outside forgets I exist.
Stream free for seven days on Mixcloud.
Background track tonight is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11. The episode is 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 that definitely isn’t watching you back.
Massive shout out to Ivo Petrov of Mahorka for pulling me into the Planck Tone series. Big love to my latest followers Andy InPhase. Check his mix Beautiful Nonsense. Cedric Wattergniaux (Kilmarth) who I played back on episode 173, Julian Kalchev ( Virtually J ) who I played on the latest Alone on the Dance Floor episode and Claudio Gasparini who has a massive following with less than ten mixes. You’re doing something right.
Anyway.
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
We’re bunching it tonight—three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
Tonight’s episode is broadcasting from… molars.blunt.notices.
Which is the location of Miyakodori—a Japanese-style gastro bar here in Stockholm where the food probably whispers secrets when the lights go out.
Let’s go.
First cluster incoming.
The episodes longest piece at 11:24. Just making the 12 minute limit. Vel Raine drifts in like bioluminescent waves from some distant galactic tide—Galactic Ocean Waves Flickering. Anything over 12 minutes ends up on another series of mine EXPANSIVE WAVES.
Then Fm Outt with that beautiful, futuristic sadness—Incomplete Kisses. Out on the Secuencias Temporales label.
And closing the trio, yours truly with something off the old virtual shelf—Caravan Grew Vaccines.
These three are about to melt into each other. Don’t fight it.
Still with me? Good. The walls are thinning.
Next transmission packet.
Heading back to 2007 and Sevensy opens a glowing doorway with Moon Arch. Out on the Mahorka label. Who I’ve done a series of Planck Tone specials for. The first is available now.
Stewart Keller follows with the, graceful exhale—Swan Song.
Then another long one at 10:27. Lee Evans slides in sideways with Bow Tel Banti—because why not. Out on The Jewel Garden which is described as being part label, pure vanity
Three more stitches in the dream.
Third and final cluster of the night.
French artist, Near Stoic paints movement in light—Kinematic Lights. Out on Third Kind Records.
Foxwarren gets not serious in Serious.
And Time Rival affirms existence with Also Yes.
Lean in. This one’s slippery.
One last track before the flip from Paul Beaudoin who goes plucky on Mercury’s Whisper. Out on Chitra Records sub label Ambient Cat.
You know the drill. The frequencies don’t stop just because the clock does.
Side B
The lights are lower. The sounds are looser.
Same rules: three transmissions stitched together like half-remembered dreams.
First B Side packet.
Going live now. GODTET brings in Cantus—big, orchestral, locked-in groove with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra riding shotgun. Out on La Sape Records
TOMC follows with the 8 minute journey—18, Chasing the Sun (Part 1, 2 & 3).
And Portland Vows closes it with Stone Children—haunting little shadows from the north. Out on Third Kind Records.
Let these three pull you under.
Next cluster. Snow is falling sideways tonight.
Erik Wøllo opens with Snow Tides—vast, Norwegian winter textures stretching out like frozen fjords. Out on Projekt records
El Michels Affair slides in cool and cinematic with the Indifference (Instrumental). Out on Big Crown Records. I’m loving this release. Library music just fills a hole in me.
Then mytrip whispers annie—a Mahorka ghost from the archive, quiet and close.
Headphones tighter. This one’s cold and intimate.
Last trio of the night.
Scott Orr with the simple, devastating Scott. Which I discovered from the recent Late-Night Tales release curated by Barry Can’t Swim
Jackson Mico Milas takes us Sea, Interior. Also on That Late-Night Tales release.
And Grammy-nominated Tim Story ends the main transmissions with Decelarate or Fasten—because sometimes you need both at once.
One more cluster before we fade.
You just heard Tim Story’s Decelarate or Fasten, Jackson Mico Milas’ Sea, Interior, and Scott Orr’s Scott.
One final transmission still to come…
The great Anubis Rude closes the show with Transmutation. Out on artist curated label Ingrown Records.
That’s the whole set.
You’ve been listening to… well, everything. But the last transmission you heard was Anubis Rude’s Transmutation pulling us through the veil.
Thanks for floating here with me.
I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se, on Trevor Lewis on Substack, and marked in the timeline like little glowing breadcrumbs.
If you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
No meetings. No rules. Just dust and frequencies.
Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. I’ll read them in my sleep-voice.
See you in the next crack in the wall.
Cheerio…

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.

13 December 2025
“Greetings all. Episode one-five-five of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Ducks File Likewise. 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 your host Trevor, presenting you with ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. You’ll hear Suncastle, Gelbart, Aythar, Prairiewolf, and deepspace.

This episode also marks one year since the passing of Arni Gretar also known as Futuregrapher. His track Bryndís is included here as a tribute, a reminder of his spirit and the Icelandic currents he brought into electronic music.
Labels orbiting here include Imaginary North, Projekt, Mahorka, Third Kind Records, and Cyclical Dreams. Styles range from ambient and drone to kosmische, experimental electronics, and hauntological textures.

Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 141 of The Virtual Cassette Library.
Union Nurture Roaring is the episodes subtitle, as well as the track you’re hearing in the background and it’s geographical location which I’ve filmed and can be experienced on YouTube.

Picture the listening experience like being at a music festival where the artists play on a rotating stage. Each act is allotted time for their piece and as it ends the next act takes over rotating into view.
Styles for this episode range from ambient to post-rock, from eurorack modular to folk. The musical keys in focus are D sharp E flat and A sharp minor, B flat minor.
This episode contains some household names like Roedelius, and Nils Frahm. Some friends of the channel like Claude Lavender, Stone Anthem and Gelbart as well as some supporting labels like 4000 Records, Third Kind Records, Cyclical Dreams, Castles In Space, Mystery Circles and many more. All the artists and labels are the soul of this show.
If you’d like to be included on future episodes send your art to trevlad@gmail.com. Links to all the tracks are illuminated at trevor.se and marked in each episode’s Mixcloud timeline.
