Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 324
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. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes, which in my experience is usually Tuesdays, or during eclipses, or when the kettle boils. 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. Unless you look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A water lily at a threshold, then a seven that has already shifted south.
Side A opens the door on a nymphaea before the official date, shares fear, rage and love in under a minute, walks the warm marble of a city still standing in the name, lets the wind keep both hands in its pockets and still carry you, files roots under a clause, and blushes a 1970 library record with the flute still warm. Side B marries a rope to itself, lets undesignated buildings prefer to meet, studies a field still learning the season, treats the tuning as the piece, lets the night accept the fire, and turns seven toward the warmer wall.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly tender, and quietly architectural — full of thresholds, pencil blueprints, and gardens that leave the gate open. Perfect for dusk listening, fields still learning the season, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: a water lily at a threshold, three feelings in under a minute, a city of marble still standing in the name, a wind that kept us, roots under a clause, a library record blushing in 1970.

A stone cut in a century that has already left, then a MicroKorg noticing the room has changed.
Side A polishes a gemstone that arrived already old, keeps the distant sea far enough that you can hear it and stay dry, leaves an extra chair for two girls and the half that stayed, counts masts the harbour fog is still deciding to show, gathers every last drop, and opens a portal onto a room you have already been in. Side B lets the moon wobble a little more than it meant to show, hums rare earths through a circuit board in a language older than the plug, listens as a Connecticut house stretches fridge and rain into a room you can stand in, counts ninety minutes of air still in the lungs, files a ghost that already knew the address, and lets a stolen memory agree the room has changed.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly haunted, and quietly domestic — full of polite distances, home-shelf murmurs, and water that remains generous with the air. Perfect for dusk listening, houses that pay attention, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: a stone cut in a century that has already left, a sea kept at a polite distance, two girls and the half that stayed, masts drawn in fog, a drop counted to the end, a portal that remembers you first.

A clock that insists the world is already the argument, then a house that hums because it was cursed to.
Side A opens the door unlatched on a cuckoo that has already said what it came to say, builds a choir from stones that will not give the words, fidgets in Latin for a sound that will not sit still, files tears under ocean and returns the glass, sets a plate for a love that left no chair pushed in, and steps into a puddle that learned to be a room. Side B runs a rite hotter than the room agreed to, cuts a faun from the seventh tray of stones, reaches the far point of an orbit, refuses a capital letter for nights that would rather not be introduced, walks the last few steps into silence, and keeps the hymn book and the haunting on the same shelf.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly haunted, and quietly ritual — full of unlatched doors, lowercase dreams, and sanctuaries that sing whether you asked or not. Perfect for dusk listening, houses with a curse, or sitting still while the ripples never quite reach the edge.
Mood mist: a clock that insists the world is already the argument, a choir built from stones, Latin for a sound that will not sit still, tears filed under ocean, a love that left its plate, a puddle that learned to be a room.

Album: Sphere. Label: Métron Records
A sphere you can step in without wetting the hem. Métron counting the ripples that never reach the edge.
Mood mist: a rite that runs hot, a faun cut from the seventh tray of stones, the far point of an orbit, nights that refuse a capital letter, a walk that ends in quiet, a house that sings because it was cursed to.
00:20:17 Electric Circus – High Fever

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 295
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-295/
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 breathing, slightly cosmic ambient journey through mantra rooms, sunset light, and machine-soul plasma.
Side A keeps a Brighton pulse, then moves through cadmium starling chambers, seaside sunsets, remixed inner-galaxy weather, a slowed descent, and a last-page fin. Side B opens with Glasgow fairy wonk and oxide walk-film, then finds a 2016 first track, Plantasia homage, Gadigal beach light, and new-age retro plasma leading into the bright.
Overall mood: Warm, communal, and quietly expansive — full of shared rooms, analogue vignettes, and light that keeps arriving. Perfect for late mornings, deep listening, or sitting with the last page while the next reel 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.

Willebrant – Deep. Electric basses, synths, slowed and reverb. A mix holds the descent.

A gentle, dream-facing ambient journey through insectile moonlight, library warmth, and far-shore destinations.
Side A weaves moonflower percussion and analogue arrival into placid Italian night, New Mexico autumn weather, infinite healing time, and a lullaby held behind rain-glass. Side B opens with a whistle toward emotion, then settles into open dusk sky, eleven minutes of analogue hope, close string resonance, a voyage to Beta Virginis, and memory finding water again.
Overall mood: Soft, hopeful, and quietly celestial — full of dusk light, small window-reflections, and patient unfolding. Perfect for twilight listening, falling asleep, or sitting with what still waits on the far shore.
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 271
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-271/
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 271. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
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 reflective, slightly mysterious ambient journey through memory, floating worlds, and quiet observation.
Side A drifts from cello warmth and barking flowers into micro-drones, memory death, and floating liminality. Side B moves through ghosts, watchful figures, dusty relics, field-recorded nostalgia, watery reflections, and ends in Borges-inspired shadow.
Overall mood: Contemplative, nostalgic, and gently enigmatic — full of soft transitions and quiet emotional depth. Perfect for late-night listening, deep focus, or peaceful solitude.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,095 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
Side A
On this episode you’ll hear Stockholm cellist Henrik Meierkord teaming up with Indian artist Suseti for the title track “Hilate” from their latest name-your-price release.
Then Rotterdam’s Ard Janssen, better known as Ard Bit, guides us through surrender and introspection with “Barking Flowers” from the album Juxtaposed. That’s out on Dronarivm’s side hustle DƎЯRDE.
Next, the trio of Zach Frizzell, Kaiton Slusher and James Clements — zakè, Ossa and ASC — open their remarkable album Microliths and Momentary Drifts with the delicate “Microlith 1”.
After that, a piece from Boards of Canada’s Inferno: the quietly devastating “Memory Death”, out on Warp Records of course.
Then a collaboration between Tomotsugu Nakamura and David Cordero: the floating “Ukiyo” (floating world) from the album Aware 哀れ which in Japanese translates as pity or sorrow. Thats out on the wonderful Home Normal label.
Closing Side A is Venezuelan artist Angelo Sanellix together with Mexican producer Justin Ortiz (as SpoonBeats), offering liminal ambience in “long time ago” from the album Distant Particles, released on the prolific Stockholm label Valley View Records.
But first, the opening track of the cassette: Henrik Meierkord & Suseti with “Hilate”.
Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us.
One side flip. Just the music.
Side B
Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting.
You’ll hear one of the strongest supporters of this channel — Gareth Evans, known here as HDRF — with an exclusive track from the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures (out 26 September). His piece is the wonderfully titled “Mr Baines (Is Watching You)”.
Then Scottish modular artist and Dustopian Frequencies curator Everyday Dust offers “Maria” from his latest album The Relic Room.
Next, Chesapeake, Virginia’s Ryan Watts (Akira Film Script), a long-time friend of the library and contributor to The Mystery of the Night. Here he brings the heavily field-recorded “N6-79” from Over Exposure on Driftworks. Shout-out to Andrew Heath for keeping that label so consistently excellent.
Near the end we drift through elemental sensations with Intact Veils (Kraków) and “Image of Water” from the album Saint Imago, released on The Artificial Pine.
And finally, Paul Haslinger and Christian Wittman close the tape with “Elogio de La Sombra” (In Praise of Shadow) from their album Borges — an immersive soundscape into the world of Jorge Luis Borges — on their own label NOION Music.
But first, Raleigh, North Carolina’s Derrick Stembridge, better known as Drifting In Silence and here as Unknowndivide, opens Side B with the drifting drones and IDM glitches of “Ghost” from the album Existence on Labile Records.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 264. 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 contemplative, atmospheric ambient journey through gravity, trapped moments, and fiery elements.
Side A drifts from weightless lapses and arcane nights into sinister awakenings, amber preservation, and circular comfort. Side B shifts through nostalgic postcards, patterned cosiness, collaborative warmth, and ends on flame and dated reflection.
Overall mood: Introspective, melancholic, and quietly wondrous with a blend of darkness and gentle warmth. Perfect for deep listening, late-night reflection, or peaceful immersion.
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 264 episodes as well as the 820 plus 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 from the 24 buildings in the veil. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures.
On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by the trio of John Crombie, Christopher Innes, and Damiano Verna who together call themselves Arcane Trickster. I’ve chosen their latest single titled “Dead Of Night” which has just been released on Greek label Cosmicleaf Records.
This is followed by the track “Sinister Awakening” by Mantris from an album to get lost in titled “Echoes Of The Silver Screen” out on Bulgaria’s finest Mahorka label.
After that Edinburgh based modular artist Exit Chamber with the soothing piece “Trapped In The Amber Of This Moment” from the release “I Have Lied To You The Best I Can” which features remix work by some other channel friends including Asha Patera, Ed Herbers and Everyday Dust. Grab a digital copy on the Passed Recordings label.
The penultimate track of the first side of this virtual cassette is by French artist Anthony Elfort aka Toàn and the enchanting track “DEL 3” from the album titled “Solitarium” out on the fantastic whitelabrecs label.
Finishing off the first half is a track from the album Quieter by Robot Koch under his moniker Foam and Sand with a mix of analog synthesizers, live vibraphone, chimes, and bells in “Circle 62”. Get it at Jogging House curated label Seil Records.
But first, to set the vibe is Athens-based artist Kostas Staikos, better known as Substak with a deep and dark almost 15 minute piece titled “Gravity Lapse” which was made for Drone Day 2026 on grey clay radio.
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 an artist I know nothing about except they are on the fantastic Passed Recordings 31 track compilation album 130.81. Here is Poloma with minimalist piece “Calico”.
Also an exclusive track in the collaboration of ambient giants David Cordero & Aiko Takahashi with the piano piece “Arzino” from their upcoming album “Night’s End” which will be available through the wonderful Home Normal label from the 24th of July.
After that a master of sunset music, Mark Barrott, with the track “Variation (I)” from the album “The Exit Diaries” and that’s out on the Anjunachill label.
Then the penultimate track for today comes in the form of the shortest piece of the show clocking in at just 1:31 seconds but showing the amazing sound of Hannah Peel in the track “All They Had Was Fire” from the film soundtrack album Underland, and that’s out on the Rivertones label.
Finishing us off is Hylé Tapes curator Richard Francés with some minimalistic drone bliss in the track “11 Février 2024” from the album Afterwork III (Février 2024).

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 193
17 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.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-three.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous.
But really it’s just me and the frequencies in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets we exist.
Stream it free for seven days on Mixcloud.
The background track is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11 on Bandcamp.
The episodes are sonic journeys with metaphysical flips at the halfway mark — perfect for long walks, mental wanders, or quiet moments alone with the universe.
We’re bunching it today — three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
This episode is broadcasting from The Londoner pub in Stockholm with the coordinates ///product.subsets.weekends.
#
Starting us off: a shimmering remix from Loopatronica, a brief suspended moment from Hi-Field, and Virtually J stepping out of the shadows with something quietly unsettling.
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
#
Next we drift into Darryl Wakelin’s Swimming Lesson in a playful library daydream, Loula Yorke and Charlotte Jolly weaving something ancient and watery, and James Osland reminding us how everything starts from almost nothing.
#
Now the air gets heavier and more fragile: Sleep Chrysalis letting dreams fade, Scholars of the Peak dredging up sparkles from the deep, and Clariloops opening something very gently.
#
We cross into field recordings and memory: Ana Habesh calling from Vanuatu, Then we flip the virtual cassette and find willowlaun dropping the ultimate New Zealand ambient pop moment, and Hverheij stepping into the realm of outside possibilities.
#
Sunlight, crystals, and liquid spaces now: Miguel Otero & Raquel Pavón speaking with the light, Arcane Trickster in crystalline suspension, and Scav building a living terrarium.
#
Loops, snow, and southern flavours: petr drkula spinning prime loops, Trevlad wandering through bank snow turkeys, and Saïph serving Marseille au riz.
#
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, frequencies and me.
Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
For the final stretch we stay with Mahorka and a couple of great tracks that didn’t quite fit in my Planck Tone sessions but fit nicely here: Mloski – Shaper Mloski bending the waveform like it owed him money… beautiful. followed by nfc – ddopl whispering the last word in a language the machines haven’t learned yet. From Mahorka’s very first release Music for Elevators Vol. 1 way back in 2004.
That’s the whole set.
You’ve been listening to… well, everything.
See you in the next crack in the wall.
Cheerio…

00:00:00 Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith – Thoughts On The Future
https://kaitlynaureliasmith.bandcamp.com/track/thoughts-on-the-future
(from the album *Thoughts On The Future*) Nettwerk label.
A vast, twilight desert stretches under a sky streaked with electric violet auroras. Floating modular synth orbs pulse softly like distant lanterns, while faint geometric patterns ripple across sand dunes that shift in slow, liquid waves.
00:07:01 Gollden – destiny #10
https://imaginarynorth.bandcamp.com/track/destiny-10
(from the album *Destiny*) Imaginary North label.
A neon-lit corridor in an abandoned cyber-city at midnight. Holographic cherry blossoms drift through cracked concrete, their petals glitching into fractal code as distant data streams cascade down mirrored walls in electric blue.
00:09:00 frostlake – Sundowner
https://discusmusic.bandcamp.com/track/sundowner
(from the album *Shattered Stone*) Discus Music label.
Golden-orange sunlight spills across a calm coastal harbor at dusk. Wooden boats rock gently on mirrored water streaked with neon reflections, while seabirds circle above crumbling stone quays where long shadows stretch like forgotten promises.
00:12:34 Christina Chatfield – Sutro
(from the album *Sutro*) Mysteries of the Deep label.
Fog rolls thick over ruined Victorian bathhouse ruins perched on jagged cliffs above the Pacific. Pale moonlight filters through rusted iron frameworks, illuminating scattered pearl-like droplets suspended in the mist and tangled reeds swaying in an unseen current.
00:19:12 Rosie Tee – Wishbone
(from the album *Night Creature*) Kikimora Records label.
A dimly lit attic room filled with antique mirrors and velvet drapes at midnight. A delicate bone-white wishbone hovers mid-air, cracking open to release swirling threads of crimson light that weave into spectral figures dancing on the walls.
00:22:47 Hannah Peel – Emergence In Nature
(from the album *Fir Wave*) KMP Music Ltd.
Emerald forest canopy at dawn, where sunlight pierces through leaves in sharp, crystalline beams. Tiny bioluminescent particles rise like fireflies in reverse, forming organic patterns that pulse and expand across moss-covered branches in rhythmic waves.
00:26:42 Garden Gate – A Dream Within a Dream
(appears on the album *Edgar Allan Poe*) Library Of The Occult label.
Endless nested corridors of antique bookshelves under flickering candlelight. Pages flutter open on their own, revealing layered dreamscapes: oceans within oceans, skies folding into more skies, each frame dissolving into the next like ink in water.
00:29:13 ena b. – Birds Dance
(from the album *Night Walk*) Secuencias Temporales label
A twilight meadow encircled by ancient willows. Hundreds of shadowy birds lift in unison, their wings tracing glowing arabesques against a bruised purple sky, spiraling upward in harmonious loops that mirror invisible currents of wind.
00:34:05 ANNABEL [lee] – Cat’s Eye
(from the album*DECAPODA*) Buried Treasure label
A velvet-black room illuminated only by a single luminous green cat’s eye gemstone floating at eye level. Refractions scatter emerald light across floating dust motes and half-seen feline silhouettes prowling along the edges of perception.
00:37:06 Daniella Tourgeman, Tomer Baruch – Mistor
(from the album *שפת עולם*) Kame’a Music label
Ancient stone alleyways in a fog-shrouded Mediterranean city at predawn. Soft amber lanterns cast trembling pools of light on dew-wet cobblestones, where whispers of mist curl around arched doorways hiding secrets in shadow.
00:41:34 Castle If – Missing 404
(from the album *darknet*)
A glitchy, pixelated library floating in digital void. Empty bookshelves flicker erratically, pages dissolving into error-code rain that falls upward, while a lone cursor blinks insistently in the center of an unreachable, cracked screen.
00:44:15 Sachi Kobayashi – Nostalgia
(from the album *More Than Just A Dream*) Stereoscenic Records.
A faded childhood bedroom bathed in warm afternoon sun through lace curtains. Old photographs on the wall slowly develop reverse—colors draining away—while a music box melody unwinds in slow motion, dust motes suspended like frozen memories.
00:49:26 Me Lost Me – Real World
(from the album RPG) Upset The Rhythm label.
A bustling urban street viewed through rain-streaked window glass at night. Neon signs blur into watercolor streaks of pink and cyan, pedestrians dissolve into abstract shapes, while reflections in puddles show an alternate, quieter reality beneath.
00:52:23 Little Dragon, April + VISTA – Layers
(from the album *Slipping Into Color*) Ninja Tune label.
Translucent geological strata glowing in deep earth tones underground. Each layer pulses with different hues—indigo, amber, rose—shifting and overlapping like sedimentary memories, with faint bioluminescent veins threading through the rock.
00:55:46 The Mistys – Nervous Mirror
(from the album *Situations | Useless Mouths*) Castles In Space label.
A cracked vanity mirror in a deserted ballroom under chandelier light. Reflections multiply infinitely, each version showing subtle distortions: trembling hands, shifting expressions, fractured eyes staring back with quiet unease.
00:59:42 marine eyes, IKSRE – Forgiveness
(from the album *Nurture*) Past Inside the Present (PITP)
Soft ocean waves lapping at a moonlit shore lined with sea glass. Gentle tides carry away shards of colored light, smoothing rough edges over time, while a pale horizon glows with quiet, healing luminescence.
01:04:36 Sababa 5 & Canay Doğan – Gaip
(from the singel *Gaip / Seher*) Batov Records
A bustling Istanbul bazaar at golden hour, viewed through haze of incense smoke. Spices spill in vibrant pyramids, lanterns sway overhead casting warm patterns on tiled floors, while distant calls blend into a hypnotic, wandering rhythm.

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.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 177
08 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 one hundred and seventy-seven. I’m Trevor, sitting here with a stack of tapes that feel heavier than they ought to, and a vague sense that the world outside might have moved on without telling us.
We’re dealing with a virtual cassette, two sides as tradition demands, twenty artists in total, the kind of selection that drifts between ambient drifts, darkwave edges, neoclassical touches, drone meditations, some post-rock undercurrents, a bit of hauntology perhaps, and the occasional flicker of something more abstract or collage-like. Places crop up too: London, Barcelona, Cheltenham, Stroud, Berlin, Hamburg, Manchester, Glasgow, a scattering across North Carolina, Portland, Vancouver, Toronto, even the Bahamas and Tallinn. The map doesn’t stay still.
The longest track we’ll hear is “Lost in the Morning” by On Idyl, stretching out across the open air like it has nowhere else to be. The shortest is “Heartspace” by Heaven Topology, brief enough to feel like a held breath.
Just before we dive in I need your help with a new show I’m putting together. I need stories about music that changed something in your life. A direction, a decision, a realisation. It’ll be the most important music of all time while I promote you as a fan, artist, label curator, mum, dad, whatever you like. If you don’t have a story which is highly unlikely maybe you know of someone who does. Let’s make something special together.
Now back to the show. Side A begins with a couple of exclusive tracks to catch your interest.
First, from Lo Recordings, Haiku Salut & Meg Morley with “Laugh and cricket” – a delicate weave of piano and field recordings that evokes summer evenings where insects compete with human laughter, gentle and unhurried. from the upcoming album – The Lost Score – dropping on Lo Recordings on 27 march.
Haiku Salut & Meg Morley – Laugh and cricket.
Next that other exclusive. f5point6, on See Blue Audio, “432 Hz (Remastered)” – tuned to that frequency people chase for calm, layered synths unfolding slowly, remastered to let the harmonics breathe properly. 432 Hz from the album retrospect with drops on the 13 Feb.
f5point6 – 432 Hz (Remastered).
Time Rival now, “Deleter” from the 45 track Murmurs in the Mist compilation which I released back in November. Don’t forget to get your entries in for the next outing before the end of March. Anyway This is Time Rivals Deleter – a quiet deletion of boundaries, soft electronics that erase the line between memory and the present.
Time Rival – Deleter.
NOUVELLES LECTURES COSMOPOLITES with “La chute des dominos” from Jaculus Jaculus ou neuf instantanés pittoresques de la vie trépidante de la gerboise des steppes Jaculus jaculus or nine picturesque snapshots of the hectic life of the desert jerboa– tumbling motifs, playful yet precise, like dominoes falling in a French steppe wind.
NOUVELLES LECTURES COSMOPOLITES – La chute des dominos.
Now here’s that piece you could easily hold a breath to. Heaven Topology, “Heartspace” from Describer on Ingrown Records.– interior spaces opening outward, warm tones suggesting a place where the heart expands without apology. A very underrated release from last August.
Heaven Topology – Heartspace.
Now we’re off to the Bahamas which is not often on the show. pjpriiincess, “my teeth crush bones” – from the NYP album my teeth crack diamonds my teeth crush bones.
raw, visceral, crunching through the surface into something primal and glittering.
pjpriiincess – my teeth crush bones.
Now a friend of the show. and one of the longer pieces this episode. Masefield Labs, “Station Keeping” from his latest album Shaded Escapes released just a few days ago. Big thank you John for the mention in the album notes. holding position in shifting currents, steady pulses beneath drifting layers.
Masefield Labs – Station Keeping.
zerosummer is the alter ego of Paolo Taviano, Italian musician. Here he is with “Nebula” from The Blue Hours on the wonderful Driftworks label. – cosmic drift, haze of stars forming and dissolving in slow motion.
zerosummer – Nebula.
Next a fantastic label that I do hope you’re all supporting. Uppsala, Sweden based, Passed Records. This next track and two more on the B side are from NYP compilations of artists they’ve released in 2025 so go get them now. G!GA LURGH, “Ambient Jam #1 (Previously YouTube Exclusive)” from The Passed Year 2025 on Passed Recordings – loose, exploratory, the kind of jam that happened once and lingers.
G!GA LURGH – Ambient Jam #1 (Previously YouTube Exclusive).
The penultimate track on side a from three artists who are fantastic in they’re own realms and just as great combined. Bahrambient, Retland, Kilometre Club with “Under Open Skies” from Cloud Paths – vast skies, gentle progression, open and unconfined in a small package.
Bahrambient, Retland, Kilometre Club – Under Open Skies.
And closing Side A, and a track that closes the compilation release it came from. Emanuele Errante, “Permanent Sunset” from Islas Calm Cloud, on whitelabrecs – eternal dusk, warm glow that refuses to fade completely.
Emanuele Errante – Permanent Sunset.
virtual tape flip
Side B, then.
Now a piece of my own. Trevlad now, “Glare Belonged Reaction” from TVCL-07 – reaction to too much light, refracted and softened.
Trevlad – Glare Belonged Reaction.
Next from the outstanding Hamburg based label Bureau B. Kreidler, “Im Betrieb (IV)” from Early Recordings 1994-95 – mechanical yet human, rhythms from the factory floor turned inward.
Kreidler – Im Betrieb (IV).
This next track has its own music video which if you like jelly you should check out. Crank up the volume and massage those neck muscles with Clark, “Civilians” from Steep Stims – everyday lives caught in electronic undertow, subtle distortions.
Clark – Civilians.
Pandacetamol, “Simply Pour” from Below the Surface on Mahorka – liquid motion, pouring without end, calm acceptance. A recommended Mahorka release from last November.
Pandacetamol – Simply Pour.
Next, as mentioned, another track from the Passed Recordings label and Ed Herbers, “The Moon (How Bright It Is)” from The Ghost of Christmas Passed. – lunar observation, bright and distant.
Ed Herbers – The Moon (How Bright It Is).
We follow this with another track from that other compilation on the same label. This is On Idyl, “Lost in the Morning (from The Fecund Wood)” here from The Passed Year 2025 on Passed Recordings – morning disorientation in fertile woods, gentle confusion.
On Idyl – Lost in the Morning (from The Fecund Wood).
and now an old friend of the channel Apta, “Shivers” from Apta Live Aviva Studios Manchester 04-12-25 – live capture, shivers running through the room in Manchester.
Apta – Shivers.
Next, for the penultimate number we head to Austin, Texas and artist Devras Plexi, “Relational” from Paradigm 10 Year Label Sampler on Glasgow label Bricolage – connections drawn in sound, relational fields.
Devras Plexi – Relational.
And now, as the tape hisses to its end, a few words before the silence returns. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for crowds, and neither, perhaps, are we. I’ll be back when the next cassette arrives or the mood shifts—whichever feels less predictable. No fixed schedule, no grand announcements. Support the artists if any of this stayed with you—buy the music, share their names quietly. You can stream this one on Mixcloud for a week or so, links and credits at trevor.se, or in the usual places. Comments are welcome, though silence has its own merits.
And finally, Tallinn, Estonia based artist Paul Beaudoin with “to hold you safe” from 1514 Lee Street – a quiet promise held close. Minimal ambient at it’s finest.
Until the next fragment of time overlaps with ours—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the sounds find their way.
Paul Beaudoin – to hold you safe. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 173
27 January 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 drifted into. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-three. I’m Trevor, turning the reels in the quiet hours.
We approach this one as always—with the old cassette in mind. Side A first, then the satisfying clunk of the flip midway through. Twenty artists tonight, drawn from the shelves where the quieter signals live. Expect drifts of drone and deep ambient, patches of electroacoustic haze, touches of field-recorded exotica, slow-unfolding modular pulses, and the occasional submerged melody that surfaces like something half-remembered from another room. Places flicker through too: underwater trenches, Los Angeles highways at off-hours, Mediterranean dream coasts, vast starry processions, the interior of mechanical bird boxes, and the soft geometries of winter rooms.
No rush. No hooks to grab you. Only the slow uncoiling of sound.
Side A – 00:00
We begin with Nelson, British Columbia based Codedekay and out of place, from Vol. 9 – The Struggle on (We Are The New Underground) Weatnu Records. A patient unfolding of displaced tones, edges softened by time and repetition.
Then an old pseudonym of the artist Time Rival is Supply Fi who brings Unruly Cascade, taken from Unruly Predation on Triplicate Records who I believe Michael Southard, Time Rivals, Supply Fi’s real name, helped create. Cross-genre currents here—ambient electronics that fold and fracture without ever quite settling. Grab this, it’s a name your price release.
I know we’re all over the Christmas vibe already. But at least here in Sweden the snow lies thick. So here’s Omni Gardens with Winter Wonderland, from the Christmas release on Moon Glyph. Familiar seasonal shapes viewed through gauze, Moog warmth and mellotron drift turning the usual into something hushed and interior.
Now one of the channels favourites with some 90s vibe Lounge. I get a hint of Lemon Jelly wafting through this one. THE GAYE DEVICE offers Argent Echo from Routes. Silvered reflections in electronic form, routes that loop back on themselves with deliberate calm.
This next one is the opening track on my second compilation release. This is Ursula’s Cartridges who submerges us in Mighty Underwater Adventure (UC’s Challenger Deep Remix), from Resonances from the Depths. Dubbed echoes refracted through deep pressure, bubbles rising slow.
Things fall apart now with Dissolved who arrives with Alveolate Minds, Exposure Fields on Mahorka. Grainy, fragmented atmospheres—drone and broken beats meeting in alveolar spaces, porous and breathing.
Belgian artist MICADO gives us An Afternoon Reflection from Mindscapes on Argentinian label Cyclical Dreams. Gentle modular lines catching light, a pause where the day leans back.
Now to help us into the zone is Dormance who closes the first side with Dormance 14, from II on Mahorka. Pure dormancy—Squeaky toys, dub tones, and a spoon in a tumble dryer do half the work.
Flip the tape. Listen for the mechanism.
Opening the B side is channel champion brain, melting, Stephen James Buckley aka, Polypores opens the reverse with The Body Is The Spaceship, Hungry Vortex. The longest track of the episode clocking in at 11:30. Organic electronics as vessel, pulsing inward and outward in equal measure. Get everything Stephen releases and thank me later.
Now a haunting melody of the free by Kilmarth feat. Silly Shadow with A Paradox So Cruel from Cherophobia on Adventurous Music. Paradox held lightly—shadows and light in tender opposition.
Next the shortest track of the episode at 1:36 Elijah Fox drifts through Her Palace from Ambient Works for the Highways of Los Angeles. Highway-side reveries, palace built from exhaust and sunset haze.
Now into the darkness with Autonomаton who present Endless stars procession from Collected Not Lost 2015-2025 Vol. 1 on Mahorka. Dub Drones tracing constellations in slow parade.
Next up Michal Turtle & HOVE with Only Sawdust Remains from Sawdust Dreams. Sawdust as memory material, fragile and aromatic. A pumping beat over tribal vibes.
Friend of the show now and a short one. Not the artist but the track. I have no idea what Dave Clarkson’s height is. Here he conjures Mechanical Bird Box Exotica from The Ghosts of Christmas Past and the Effects on Mental Health on Mortality Tables. Clockwork birds singing through antique mechanisms, exotica tuned to melancholy.
Here’s an adventurous outing by Edward Givens with Rapid Eye Movement (a Dance) from the album, Terra. Dream-state pagan motion, eyes flicking beneath lids.
Here an offering of my own. This is Trevlad with EXPANSIVE WAVES 20 (Airtime Text Reacting) from TVCL-08. Airtime caught in reactive loops—waves folding back on their own transmission.
Now French synth miestro Alex Ringess with the final track And Now Let’s Play This New Game from Asynchronicity. Asynchronous invitation, rules written in delay and overlap.
Next an odd one by Catharæ with In my world from Dreams of the Mediterranéant on Adventurous Music. Mediterranean shores remade as interior landscape, trails tracing the mind.
And now the penultimate piece some deep bass tones from Christian Kleine who brings Slow from the 2025 Label Compilation mixed by Todos on A Strangely Isolated Place. Deliberate tempo, everything given room to breathe.
And now, as the tape nears the end, a few words before the leader. Thanks for staying with it. These programmes aren’t built for playlists or quick consumption, and neither are the ears that find them. Support the artists when you can—buy the music, name their work in quiet corners. It matters more than algorithms admit.
This episode streams free for a week on Mixcloud, links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments. Say something if the mood takes you. Or let the silence hold. Both are welcome.
I leave you with the wonderful Sussex Telecom who signs off with Kendophaz from the 2022 release Creator Warehouse on channel sponsoring Third Kind Records. Phased signals from some coastal telecom exchange, wires humming in the wind.
Until the next wind or the next run-out groove—stay resonant, stay expansive. Let the frequencies find their own way back to you. Cheerio…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 165
10 January 2026
Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Hello, Trevor here, and this is the all new Virtual Cassette Library and episode one‑six‑five.
First up we have the La Ponto Ensemblo which is actually a duo made up of Hans-Dieter Schmidt and Edward-Clark Cornell who together make delicate and harsh neo-classical pieces. This is track five from their latest release Fragile Objects: In A Harsh Environment.
Headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.
Next up an old favourite of mine in the form of fellow Irishman David K. Mason. Better known as Listening Center. Mason is now based in New York and runs the rather fantastic Temporary tapes label. Although this track, Plugged In Nollaig, (nollaig being Irish for Christmas) is from the Subexotic Records compilation EP Yule 25.
Just a heads up, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right.
Now next up the original sounds of Sam Prekop. Sam is a master of modular synthesis. This is the title track from his latest release Open Close which is available through Thrill Jockey Records.
Now Mark Donlon also known as CZiGO with the dare I say jazz fusion injected piece, SERPITUDE, from his album, Techno Feudal. The latest to drop on New Zealand based Machine Records.
Now Russian artist NDORFIK with the Idm vibe Saimaa which is named after a Finnish lake and here is given a Finnish remix by the legendary Lackluster. The album of the same name is available through the Local Gods label.
Next up is from the i u we records label. A label focussing on the beauty of female diversity in electronic music.
The artist is Silver Galaky and is a duo made up of Anna-Maria Van Reusel on modular and keyboard synthesizers, and usually a very imaginative guitarist Dennis Slypen. Although this piece might well be just anna letting loose on her 5U Moon Modular system. The track is Strahlensammler and is from the upcoming compilation release connected #3. Dropping on i u we records on the 20th of January.
Now one of my favourite Swedish artists at the moment. Albin Johansson who simply goes by the name Albin. Everything Albin has released is gold. He has that retro library music ear which I cherish. This is the title track from the name your price EP DFAM which I believe is entirely written on the Moog Drummer From Another Mother. Albin is also a curator of the Malmö label Paltunes. Let’s go.
And now staying in Sweden in a way. from my neighbours up the road Passed Recordings recent, must have Chrimbo compilation The Ghost of Christmas passed I’ve pulled another great track from the 35 piece strong release in the form of this short entry, Snowfields by the artist Angel who I no nothing about. Enjoy…
Next up a long live piece I’ve kept its entirety for the episode. This is the artist Ryan Watts who goes by the wonderful name of Akira Film Script. Here with the piece E. Not to be confused with E or E.. Which are tracks on the same album titled Live at the Modern. It’s released on a label you should all know by now, whitelabrecs run by the unstoppable Harry Towell.
And now to end the virtual A side another figure of the ambient scene who does more than his fair share, Boris Potschubay who we all know as Jogging House. Boris curates the fantastic label Seil Records on which he has released the album Kiosk. Here he is with the track Worn.
Starting off the B side was the wonderful harp-like piano sounds and jazz phrasings of Brooklyn based artist Eliot Krimsky with the track, Transmission, from the album, I Made My House. Out on the outstanding Moon Glyph
Next a track of my own titled Trunk Stubbed Wiser which is a What3Words geographical location where I’ve filmed a visual to go with the piece on youtube.
It’s from the album TVCL 07.
Now a legend who for me embodies the late 90s IDM mood. French artist Alain Pachins, better known as, CIALYN here with a live take called, Last Lights / Winds Reader, from the album, 24:1900 Session Live.
Now to Melbourne bassist and producer Karl Willebrant. The ultra prolific Willebrant has released two albums since the release of The Knight Seas which was released in November. Here is an almost 11 minute treat, Thoughts of Them (A Knight on a Beach Mix – slowed and reverb)
Next up the unmistakable organic electronic sound of KILN which is actually a group made up of Kevin Hayes, Kirk Marrison, and Clark Rehberg III. Here is a track from their 8th album, Lemon Borealis. Which was released on the wonderful label, A Strangely Isolated Place. This is Ptarmigan which is a form of grouse found in northern and arctic regions.
And now a short piece from the fun Dutch artist Toxic Chicken. This is the track, Inner Worlds, from the album, Felicity out on the brilliant label Ingrown Records.
Staying with Ingrown Records, here is another quicky, from label curator, Raw Ryan , here as the artist, Anubis Rude, and the 37 second ditty, Spirit Bell, from the album, Explorer. Support the Ingrown Records label. It’s needed.
Next up Jason Courtney aka, In Darkness There Is Light shortened to (IDTiL),
and another Machine Records release titled, A Screensaver Of Emotions, this is the pumping minute long, Ahhhh Sequence.
Now to the penultimate track and something different from British born, Vienna based, Mark Peter Royce Featuring Cecilia C from Tempestine and the track, Antidote, from the album Twilight in the Altered World.
We end with the beautiful ambient warblings of Collette Andrea who goes by the name Gollden. Collette helps curate the Toronto based label Imaginary North together with Daniel Field of Kilometre Club fame. Thank you all for tuning into episode 165 of the Virtual Cassette library. I hope you like its new direction. Sending us home is Gollden with, destiny #9, from the album, Destiny.

30 December 2025
Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑six‑one of the Virtual Cassette Library—which also happens to be my 900th mix show. I’m not entirely sure how that happened, but here we are. Today’s theme is Obey Beams Starting—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words.
We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun. Early on you’ll hear Night Birds by The Inventors of Aircraft—an exclusive from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation sleeplaboratory6.0. Always a pleasure to be able to share something before it officially takes flight.
Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right.
The rest of the show wanders through winter light, spectral electronics, Casio memories, kosmische detours, festive oddities, and the occasional unexpected left‑turn. The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it.
So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 160
28 December 2025
Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑sixty of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Applied Crawled Wires—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words.
We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun. A couple of treats in this one too: the Andy Maurer and Clariloops pieces are exclusives from the upcoming Whitelabrecs release Sleep Laboratory 6.0, and The Home Current track is taken from the forthcoming Subexotic Records album A Point Blank Dream. Always nice to have something you can’t hear anywhere else—yet.
Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right.
The rest of the show drifts through ambient corners, modular murmurs, soft‑focus electronics, and the occasional unexpected detour. The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it.
So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 298
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-298/
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 textured, slightly restless ambient and experimental journey through protected light, subway chaos, and quiet figures still gathering.
Side A opens in remixed German-Czech-Spanish frequencies and Bristol trio gravity, then moves through Chester grandmother light, Berlin bouncing patterns, whimsical DNA cheesecake, and limbs of sticks under Machen’s bridge. Side B settles into Salt LX thoughts carried by wind, absolute chaos circuits, dark-ambient lounge noise, simple guitar drones that wait for yes, submerged porcelain systems, and a Quiet Figures remix that percolates the filter open.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly dark, and richly layered — full of analogue edges, exclusive whispers, and slow openings. Perfect for late listening, deep immersion, or sitting with what keeps moving while the figures remain.
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.

00:16:51 Sebastian Arnold – Bits Keep Moving
Sebastian Arnold – Bits Keep Moving. One-man band of drums, percussion, synthesizers and live electronics. Bouncing patterns and tricky acoustic beats fill Tricone Studios at Funkhaus Berlin. Bewegung, Klang, Energie.
00:21:41 Daily Mail Comments Section – Estradiol Cheesecake
Daily Mail Comments Section – Estradiol Cheesecake. Imogen Hayley Baker’s whimsical alias carries DNA from Lucy, Evie, Christiane, Meghan, Heather and Shannon. Billie Bacon adds hammer.
00:23:10 Grey Malkin – Our Limbs Are Made Of Sticks
Grey Malkin – Our Limbs Are Made Of Sticks. Arthur Machen’s bridge of light spans the gulf. Alison O’Donnell, Burnt Paw, Alan Davidson, David Colohan, Speculum Bunny, Amanda Votta and the Liminal Choir join woodwind and voice. Tides of time come in.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
00:27:50 Jogging House – Roofer
Jogging House – Roofer. Salt LX phrases re-interpreted through Digitakt 2, Polyvera, modular and single takes to quarter-inch tape. Thoughts dwell. Winds carry.
00:32:42 Alex Ringess – Towards Absolute Chaos

00:55:42 (EXCLUSIVE) Masefield Labs – On Her Own Quiet Figures remix
Masefield Labs – On Her Own Quiet Figures remix. Second exclusive of the episode. Silent ever-present figures whisper. Quantum foam gratitude cascades to the artists. Percolating electronica opens the cut-off filter.
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.
Uncover the narratives whispered by the silent, ever-present figures that shadow us, through compositions that unravel their hidden mysteries.
