Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 182
04 March 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Greetings ye combers of the sound waves and welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library, episode 182. I’m Trevor and I’ll be gently guiding you through twenty artists and their musical endeavours tonight. If you’re new here, welcome; otherwise, welcome back.
A quick shout out to the latest followers: Tiago Catarino who may or may not be into Lego, Rohima Afruza who is a Brighton-based DJ, and foremanmonique from New Mexico, United States. Thanks guys—you keep the signal strong.
This episode has set a new record for the channel: Six exclusive tracks at the time of recording. My handful of subscribers are some of the few souls on the planet who have heard these yet. How? I’ve started dropping music-only preview mixes of the shows before the chat version hits the air—that’s the secret handshake.
The exclusives come from Swimming Lesson, TOMC, The Metamorph, Martin Archer & Claire McAllister, Isograph (who is actually the same artist behind Swimming Lesson), and Oberlin. Who else joins the lineup? You’ll just have to settle in and listen.
Let’s ease into the flow.
We start the episode with the first exclusive which was actually released back in October on the Castles In Space Subscription Library so a few of you will know this one by Darryl Wakelin here as one of his alter egos *Swimming Lesson. This is A Penchant for Experiments from the album Home Electronics
Picture a dimly lit garage in a 1970s suburb, fairy lights strung across shelves of salvaged radios and half-built circuit boards, the faint glow of a soldering iron as tiny sparks dance like fireflies in the dusk.
And now the best thing that’s ever happened to this channel Mr. Gareth Evans aka HDRF. His support and above all his direct action on my request for sending in his story for the new show Chord Confessions. In fact the previous artist Swimming Lesson and other artists I’ve played are a direct result of Gareths passion and action in the community.
HDRF – Everybody Melts (for Miquette)
from the album Ephemerama 1 (self-released via HDRF’s Bandcamp)
A slow dissolve of coloured wax under heat, pooling into soft iridescent shapes on a windowsill as afternoon light filters through rain-streaked glass, everything quietly surrendering to warmth.
Solar 76 – Arctan
from the album Sun Angle on Castle In Spaces’ Lunar Module imprint.
Late golden hour on a coastal cliff path, the sun hanging low and casting long geometric shadows across concrete sea defences, waves below folding in perfect mathematical curves. A very different, yet familiar release from the label. Get your House moves on.
Now most of the music I play on the show is either NYP releases, or sent in by the artists or by the labels. This next track is the latter.
*TOMC – You Are Balearic
from the album Blue Era Odyssey. Releasing via channel champion Mystery Circles on the 3 of March.
Open-top car cruising a winding island road at twilight, salt air rushing past, palm fronds silhouetted against a sky bleeding from azure to deep indigo, distant lights beginning to wink on.
Now another track from the outstanding and highly original label Cities and Memory.
Neil Foster – Yeyi (Central African Republic)
from the album A Century of Sounds. This track is from the NYP version on Bandcamp and one of the 100 pieces chosen for this 13 track release.
Dense rainforest canopy parting just enough for shafts of sunlight to hit moss-covered earth, the air thick with calls of unseen birds and the low rhythmic pulse of life moving unseen.
Gustavo Denouard – Whispers
from the album Echoes of the Cosmos on Projekt Records
Vast empty observatory dome at night, telescope lens reflecting a scattering of stars, faint cosmic radio static crackling like whispers from galaxies long ago.
Now another great friend of the show, Gavin Brick aka The Metamorph. This is the third exclusive for the episode. Gavin has received the physical CDs for his upcoming release From Cobalt to Aquamarine. I’ve always loved Gavin music and this sees a bit of a change in direction. It’s more introspective and is quickly becoming a favourite on repeat around the house. I believe this will be the first release from his new studio in Liverpool. Keep your eye on his Bandcamp page for the official release date.
*The Metamorph – Cobalt
Deep underwater cave lit only by bioluminescent streaks of electric blue, slow currents carrying flecks of mineral that catch the light like floating sapphires.
Next the fourth exclusive of the show.
*Martin Archer & Claire McAllister – Underground
from the album Mast Year dropping on the Discus Music label on the 27th of March. There are loads of names to look forward to on this collage style release.
Dimly lit subway tunnel after hours, Claires floating improvised vocals and gentle jazz phrasings will take you underground.
Now let’s get industrial with some sub bass foundation. The penultimate track of this first half.
Wahn – A Place Slightly Wrong
from the album Echo Mist Light on the Mahorka label.
Fog rolling across an abandoned industrial yard at dawn, rusted machinery half-submerged in mist, everything familiar yet shifted just a degree out of alignment.
We end the A side with Corvid One Cassette – REST
from the album Two on a label to keep you radar tuned to, Black Pylon. A Cassette label curated by Lee Pylon and Nicholas Langley.
A single raven perched on a cracked cassette tape case in an empty room, feathers ruffled by a draught from an open window, the world outside hushed.
B Side –
We open this half with the living legend, Hainbach – BTM Blau
from the album Tagwerk on Spanish label, Industrial Complexx.
Analogue workbench at midnight, the Crumar DS-2, an early Italian synthesiser, pulsing gently as if the machine itself is dreaming.
Now Bruce Magill aka Low Altitude – Dan Y Wernen
from the whitelabrecs compilation masterpiece Shades
Welsh hillside at dusk, ancient stone wall curving into mist, wind carrying faint echoes of folk memory across heather and gorse.
Next I get to play one of my own pieces as no-one else will. In the intro, outro and scattered through each episode I create background soundscapes. When I’ve created 16 episodes I release them as an album. The three word titles of each piece are also geotags for spots on the planet that I have some sort of personal connection with. For example the title of this episode and the background you’re listening to now is situated.bike.guides which is the geographical location of the entrance to Omnipollos Church in Sundbyberg Stockholm. A Brewery and bar, creating some of the best craft beer on the planet. The title of this track is from the patch of grass outside my apartment. Enter any of the track titles from my albums and you can virtually stalk me. Anyway this is me, Trevlad – Hits Enjoyable Amended
from the album TVCL-09
Old mixing desk in a cosy attic studio, faders worn smooth from years of use, fairy lights twinkling above stacks of cassettes like a private constellation.
Now a release right up my alley. I love this sound, it reminds me of the 70s Canterbury sound of Dave Stewart. Passepartout Duo – From Tbilisi
from the album Pieces from Places
Narrow cobblestone street in old Tbilisi at golden hour, balcony flowers spilling over iron railings, distant church bells mingling with street musicians.
Now the fifth exclusive track from *Isograph – The Telling of the Bees
[same artist as Swimming Lesson, keeping traditions alive in sound]
Traditional beehive in a quiet garden at sunrise, bees humming in low golden light, keeper in veil gently lifting a frame, the hive whispering ancient secrets. This is from the first Isograph release which will see light of day later in the year. Here’s what Darryl told me about the track. “The telling of the bees is an old tradition from when lots of rural families kept a beehive for honey, propolis, etc. They would tell the bees about family news (births, deaths, etc.), which I think is just a beautiful thing to do, making the bees part of the family. The track is about all sides of that – the family news, and then at the scale of the bees hearing the news, and the whole thing is an attempt to reflect the lovely connection/regard for nature in this idea.” Cheer for that.
Now another artist I could probably contact for a coffee if I ever was in Edinburgh. Exit Chamber – We Can Get There Simply By Surviving (Previously Unreleased)
from the album The Passed Year 2025 on a global collective of artists known as Passed Recordings. The Bandcamp page says they’re based in Uppsala Sweden but I haven’t figured out what the connection is. Anyway,
Cracked pavement after rain, small green shoot pushing through concrete, resilient and quiet, the city noise fading into a hopeful hush.
Next described as being constructed to elicit feelings of calm, to unearth hazy memories of early innocence, and to lure the chaotic mind into the woods of sleep.
Glass Hive – Mother Of Many
from the album Glass Hive EP
Hive mind of glass shards catching light in a sunlit room, reflections multiplying endlessly, fragile yet infinite.
Now the sixth exclusive which will see light of day on 6 March.
*Oberlin – Never Take It For Granted
from the album The Gold Pit Sessions Vol. 2 out on German label oscarson.
Open window on a spring morning, curtains billowing softly, sounds drifting in with the scent of fresh earth, everything ordinary and miraculous.
Next an all time favourite artist of mine. The penultimate track of the show. Sébastien Tellier – Un Dimanche en Famille
from the album Kiss the Beast
Lazy Sunday table in a sun-dappled kitchen, half-eaten croissants, laughter echoing off tiled walls, time stretching elastic and warm. Available through Because Music & Horizons.
And that’s episode 182 wrapped in a bow of tape and wonder. Thanks for riding along on this sonic journey with its metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe.
Want to be part of the transmission? Send your vibrations to trevlad@gmail.com. Purchase paths are always illuminated at trevor.se and marked in the timeline of each show.
To send us home hailing from, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lorna Dune – Alverno
from the EP Mosfet
Mountain trail winding upward through pine and mist, sudden clearing revealing a vast alpine valley below, the air crisp with possibility. A self released Minimal House gem.
Until the next drop appears without warning… keep searching the dial. Cheerio…

EXPANSIVE WAVES 23
11 February 2026
EXPANSIVE WAVES — EPISODE 23
11 February 2026
Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty-three. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
Tonight’s programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces, each longer than 12 minutes—most stretching far beyond that—each more patient than the last. If you’re expecting choruses, drops, or anything resembling urgency, you may want to try another channel.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
We begin with a vast, unfolding live session that feels like drifting through forgotten orbital debris.
This is Secret Nuclear with Omega Redux. A NYP 45-minute live recording of six pieces from last summer, first heard on Kate Bosworth’s DARK TRAIN radio show. Broadcast on 21 July 2025. Layered with approach vectors, shadows, and extended consoles. Breathe it in.
That was Secret Nuclear, Omega Redux, straight from WHI Recordings. If you’re just joining us, this is Expansive Waves 23. No rush. We’re only getting started.
Next, another fresh live capture and another NYP release as that is what this channels budget allows, from the legends who practically invented this space. Recorded last August in Poland. Another long one at 32 and a half minutes.
Tangerine Dream — Katowice Session 2025. Over half an hour of pulsing sequences, violin drifts, and piano echoes. Let it carry you.
Tangerine Dream, live from Katowice. Timeless, isn’t it? We’re about a third through the evening now, but time doesn’t really apply here.
From Pennsylvania, a solitary reflection on endings and endurance.
Matthew Nowik — (we have) 5 years left. A slow-burning meditation on what might remain. Synth layers that feel like watching clouds dissolve. Another NYP release. I feel a pattern forming here.
Matthew Nowik. Quiet truth there in every sustain. Thanks for staying with me.
We move to Greece now. Piano meeting granular skies.
Giannis Gogos — Ambedo (part 2). Twenty-one minutes of attentive stillness from the recent Ambedo release on Whitelabrecs. The quiet attention that art still needs. This is not a NYP release as whitelabrec sponsors the channel with the best ambient releases out there.
Giannis Gogos. Ambedo—sinking into the moment until the edges blur.
Shifting tones now. A sense of deep belonging amid the haze.
Cries from the LTN — Belonging To. Title track from the EP. Extended, enveloping, like finding home in the drift. Shout out to Marcus from Cries from the LTN for sending this in. The EP is an innovative audio-visual collaboration between Birmingham based contemporary artist Tara Harris and experimental musical ensemble Cries From the LTN.
Cries from the LTN. Belonging isn’t always loud.
From Meanjin/Brisbane, Australia—a wavelength tamer reworking melancholy into vast space. Inspired by a single, heartbreaking scene from The Sopranos. This is the track doir from the new album No Statue, freshly re-recorded after life turned sideways. Raw, drenched in melancholy. Monumental. Released just yesterday on 4000 records.
ff8282 — doir.
ff8282 there with the sparkling new release No Statue that was the longest piece doir.
Six tracks gone. Only two remaining. The shortest track of the episode now and only just making the 12 minute cut at 12:12. Cassette territory next. Black Pylon’s world of field recordings and calls.
This is Corvid One Cassette — MOBBING CALLS. From the album Two. Corvids circling, warnings in the air, stretched into drone. This is the second release from the label Black Pylon. Definitely a label to follow and watch out for.
Corvids know something we don’t. Maybe that’s why it lingers.
And now, as we approach the final silence, a few words before we vanish again.
Thanks for sticking around. Really. These episodes aren’t designed for mass consumption, and neither are you.
I’ll be back when the wind changes or the tape runs out—whichever comes first. No schedule, no promises. Waves, that’s all we have.
If you liked what you heard, support the artists. Buy their music. Whisper their names into the void. It helps.
You can stream this episode on Mixcloud at djsofabed/expansive-waves-23, and find all the links and credits on the episode page at trevor.se.
Drop a comment if you feel moved. Or don’t. Silence is underrated.
Until next time—stay resonant, stay expansive, and let the soundtrack of the universe find you.
And finally, as we near the horizon—an unreleased study, fresh from Adventurous Music. Out in a few days, but you hear it here first. Unless you’re listening after February 16th.
Iván Muela — Drone Study X. From the forthcoming Ibidem II. Pure, patient exploration.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 20
3 December 2025
Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
Tonight’s programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces, each longer than twelve minutes, each more patient than the last. If you’re expecting choruses, drops, or anything resembling urgency, you may want to try another channel.
We begin, as always, not with a bang but with a murmur. The track you’re hearing underneath me is from my own unreleased album, TVCL 08. It’ll be out when it’s ready—sixteen tracks, no sooner. You can find it on Bandcamp under Trevlad, if you’re the curious sort.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
Right, we are starting off tonight with a deep dive into primitive droning territories, courtesy of Patrick R. Pärk. He is based in Denver, Colorado, and is clearly a devotee of the kosmische sound. This piece is ‘Music As An Awesome Healing Force,’ which appears on his album Luminous Rainbow Pulse, released on November 7. His sound covers Berlin School, electronic, experimental, drone, and krautrock.
Next up, we travel to Luxembourg for Maxence Dubroca & co, who is an experimental composer and arranger, and the frontman of Projet -> Renard) Ost) the company being Anita Franz & Simon Gris. The work we have here is ‘Counsel: A Roam Is Not Consequent,’ lifted from the Jump Badger Jump album, which saw release on July 16. This is wonderfully slow material, categorized as ambient drone, electroacoustic, minimal, and slowcore.
Marvelous. We move now to the UK, specifically Sheffield, for Hervé Perez. Hervé Perez is a sound artist, composer, and improviser, and his work is released via nexTTime production studios. This is a live recording, ‘nada 22, live stream 02 10 2024,’ released October 2, 2024, and takes up the largest part of the episode clocking in at 53:20. Hervés’ sound falls under electronic, electroacoustic, experimental electronic, improvisation, and new jazz. This is the sort of evocative work that uses disquiet and dissonance to open imaginary cinematic worlds.
We turn now to a journey from Jarguna, Odile Bruckert, and Henrik Meierkord. This is ‘Sleeping Among the Rice Fields,’ featured on their album Furrows of Memory. Projekt Records, which is America’s premier independent label specializing in passionately intense introspective music in the ambient, electronic, ethereal, and darkwave genres, released this piece on November 21. The work has a beautiful world, new age vibe. This is music that flows and takes you gently on a peaceful meditation.
Following that, we hear from SourceCodeX, a multi-instrumentalist specializing in synthesizers and guitar, working out of Washington, D.C.. This is ‘Clouds Parting Soon,’ which is part of the REBIRTH ~ 10TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED RELEASE, out on November 16. His sound covers ambient, electronic, progressive rock, and synth rock. SourceCodeX stated that listening to Steve Roach’s Structures from Silence is what turned him into an ambient artist. This is utterly splendid to my taste, described by others as an incredibly immersive experience and epic, mysterious, moving, and beautifully produced.
Next up, we have Ümlaut, with the piece ‘Pulling all the sky’. This track is featured on EX! Zine Edition 4 from Adventurous Music, released on November 24. Adventurous Music, based in Leipzig, Germany, is a non-profit micro-label promoting experimental music. Pulling all the sky provides a contemplative and trippy soundscape, it contains field recordings with bird song which I have a soft spot for.
We turn to Asheville, North Carolina, now for Spooqs. This is the complete ‘BIOMES (Full Suite)’, which came out on November 14. Spooqs calls his efforts Electronic Impressionist Instrumentals, creating mood music for imaginary spaces. As this is a full suite you’re are in for quite a trip.
And finally, to close out this installment of Expansive Waves, we have a beautiful, enveloping drone from a channel regular, Willebrant. This is Karl Willebrant, a bassist and producer from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, running an ambient field drone project. This piece is called ‘A Knight on a Boat (slowed and reverb),’ from his collection The Knight Seas, which saw release on November 7. It is firmly placed in the ambient drone, electronic, and meditation categories. Fans describe the album as divine and providing real gentle ambience to lose yourself in.
🎧 Outro And now, as we approach the final piece, a few words before we vanish again. Thanks for sticking around. Really. These episodes aren’t designed for mass consumption, and neither are you. I’ll be back when the wind changes or the tape runs out—whichever comes first. No schedule, no promises. Waves, that’s all we have. If you liked what you heard, support the artists. Buy their music.

Drop a comment if you feel moved. Or don’t. Silence is underrated. Until next time—stay resonant, stay expansive, and let the soundtrack of the universe find you. Take it away Willebrant.

Karesansui means “dry landscape” or “dry mountain water” and refers to a minimalist style of Japanese garden that uses rocks, gravel, and sand to represent natural landscapes like mountains, islands, and rivers without any water. These gardens, often found in Zen Buddhist temples, are designed for contemplation and meditation, symbolizing natural elements through careful arrangement and raked gravel patterns that mimic water. Karesansui is from the upcoming album Techno Feudal which drops December 12 on Machine Records.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 137
31 October 2025
///feelers.slows.fleet.
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 137 of The Virtual Cassette Library.
Feelers Slows Fleet 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.
I’m Trevor and I curate these 90-minute genre bending drifts through frequencies from around the globe. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion. Two, 45 minute mixes, 15 tracks per side with a side change in the middle.
Picture the listening experience like being at a music festival where the artists play on a rotating stage. Each act is allotted the time for their piece and as it ends the next act takes over rotating into view.
Styles for this episode range from post-rock to minimal electro, from Ambient to psychedelic. The musical keys in focus are A major and F sharp minor, G flat minor.
This episode contains some household names like To Rococo Rot, Jah Wobble, Louis Cole and Tycho. Some friends of the channel like Fallen, Pietro Zollo, Exit Chamber and WEALDHAM as well as some supporting labels like Castles in Space, rohs! records, Moniker Eggplant, Triplicate Records and Projekt records. You are all the soul of this show.
