Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 345
Another reel of the Virtual Cassette Library begins. Twelve tracks, two sides. A virtual cassette that turns itself at the halfway mark, the oxide catching just long enough to mark the seam before the second side continues.
These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.
Blue skies over golden acres, then landscapes that prefer to stay unfinished.
Side A keeps the acres already golden and the skies rather pleased about it, softens an ambient Ibiza so the trickster is slightly surprised, lets the water belong to the sky and walk itself home, remixes a shadow planet by Sam Prekop so the shadows grow longer, celebrates the dark with bats already in formation and bringing a small gift, and keeps the brook underwater and quite content while the library reads from the bottom shelf. Side B places a solaris in ethereal space that is already making room, reflects eyes that are mirrors signalling back, waters the plants with magnetic fields that are quite domestic about the dishes, turns decay into light that is still arriving, mid-turns an emu while the silence is amused, and leaves the landscapes unfinished and happier for the postponement.
Overall mood: Amused, and quietly luminous — full of pleased skies, domestic fields, and landscapes that prefer to stay open. Perfect for dusk listening, soft islands, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: blue skies over golden acres, an ambient Ibiza, water that belongs to the sky, a shadow planet remixed by Sam Prekop, bats celebrating the dark, a brook that is underwater and quite content.

Ratios that refuse to sit still, then a star named Denebula that may or may not exist.
Side A measures the ratios from slightly different angles and finds the whole thing rather flattering, lets the chicken wear the badge while the noise blushes, sets vibrant matter dancing so the gooseberry can nod along, cracks the cosmic egg into a sequel already writing its memoirs, keeps just moving with the diagrams packing a small suitcase, and lets the neon lights hum a little tune while the virtual woman is quite pleased about it. Side B seats the melancholia in a chair that already understands, lets the shades of light choose their favourites, sends the vector already in flight so the trick can land, lodges the rainmodulator while the dogs and the shadows negotiate a truce, keeps the northern furniture with Autobaba in the other room, and surveys a star named Denebula with the spear already pointing somewhere kind.
Overall mood: Playful, and quietly flattered — full of nodding gooseberries, comfortable chairs, and stars that may or may not exist. Perfect for dusk listening, soft sofas, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: ratios that refuse to sit still, a chicken with a fondness for noise, matter that vibrates like a gooseberry in a good mood, an egg that cracked the cosmos and is now doing a sequel, something just moving because it can, neon lights that have opinions.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 337
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.
The shows stay free for the first week. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers. 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.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
An adventure for the one who must be obeyed, then a sky watched in company.
Side A keeps Haggard’s flame warm in the sequence, reaches the pole with the radio still crackling from the ice, folds the shroud so the outline remains kind, pours a small aperitif before the meal, finds the empire still in the foundations under the roads, and leaves temptation numbered among sixty-four fluxes on the table for you to look. Side B keeps the past still sitting in the chair, grazes elk on a coastal flat with the window open, shares a long look from the mezze table, projects a holographic father already solid and familiar, lets the hearts decide on forever with the pulse steady, and watches the weight of the night sky together while the desert holds both of you.
Overall mood: Mythic, and quietly shared — full of open windows, warm maps, and skies that prefer company. Perfect for dusk listening, coastal flats, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: an adventure for the one who must be obeyed, an admiral at the pole, a shroud folded in an elegy, an aperitif for the young, an empire still in the foundations, a temptation numbered among sixty-four fluxes.

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.
00:02:18 (Exclusive) Corrado Saija and Elia Piana – Nymphaea II
https://driftworks.bandcamp.com/
Album: Limen. Label: Driftworks Full release – Friday 16th October

Seventy, restored. Four Flies lifting the velvet and finding the flute still warm.
Mood mist: a rope married to itself, buildings that prefer to meet, a field still learning the season, a tuning that is the piece, a night glad of the flame, a seven that has already shifted south.
00:23:10 Nickolas Mohanna – Eye Splice
https://nickolasmohanna.bandcamp.com/track/eye-splice

A town happy to say its name twice, then dreams tied up and happy at the dock.
Side A points at the same corner until it smiles back, leaves a Sylvian junction open on every side, blows a gemstone rather than cutting it, scores the nights drawing in with a title that has not quite arrived, fills its eyes with moss and lets the ground read along, and finds a lost horizon again at whisper volume. Side B keeps the root when the other two panels have bowed, holds distant blue on a spine with both names, touches the sea once and keeps the salt, draws a bath for someone very small, paginates an inland ocean so you can stop at the paragraph, and moors its dreams with the rope left slack.
Overall mood: Gentle, slightly elegiac, and quietly domestic — full of repeating towns, unlit next rooms, and water that agrees to stay inland. Perfect for dusk listening, houses that have agreed to be smaller, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: a town happy to say its name twice, a junction in the brain, a flute sent out to sea, a score for the nights drawing in, a burial with moss for eyes, a horizon found again at whisper volume.

Lost horizons, found again at a volume the house can sleep beside. Home Normal leaving the lights on in the next room.

Album: Illusion of an Inland Ocean. Label: Lore City Music

This has been The Virtual Cassette Library, episode 318.
Travel safely between the frequencies.
I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 315
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies.
Now imagine each episode as a colossal rotating stage — a great mechanical blooming lotus. You, the audience only ever glimpse a sliver of it at a time. Every artist is allotted the exact time it takes them to perform their piece. Then they rotate out of view, and the next act glides in. The stage spins at whatever speed the track demands.
The names of the artists and labels I’ll mention before each set — or “side,” as the cassette alchemists call them. Six little incantations per set, plus a general mist of what mood to expect.
Now the stage begins to turn.
Moss collecting light before the record exists, then tour days that travel only as far as their own shadow.
Side A gathers moss on a lotus that has not officially opened, parks Sol in the cat’s window, breaks Kerala dawn against industrial dusk, coils organisms above the weather, circumnavigates on a borrowed lighthouse, and smears 1982 until the hair still looks like a forecast. Side B lives in the umbra that remembers what cast it, opens water with no coastline drawn on it, retires speech for the evening, keeps a 2012 hold tone wearing pearls, jams Golden Acres until the punchline clocks out, and packs IDM for a journey only a shadow completes.
Overall mood: Contemplative, prismatic, and quietly migratory — full of exclusive October light, borrowed signals, and harbour lamps left on anyway. Perfect for dusk listening, hold music that never connects, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Shout out to my new subscriber Vivid Stars Forgotten. One more subscriber and we hit the Mixcloud minimum for a payout — the kind that keeps the channel’s lights on after dark. If you’ve been hovering at the door, this is the hour to step in.
Mood mist: moss collecting light before the record exists, a sun parked in the cat’s window, dawn as deconstructed club, organisms coiled above the weather, a borrowed lighthouse for a full orbit, 1982 seen through a lens that will not sharpen.
00:04:33 Ocean Moon & Silver Ley – Gathering Moss

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

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 285
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-285/
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. Episode 285. 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.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,115 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.
A grounded yet otherworldly ambient journey through suburban roots, dissolving melodies, secret stones, and unravelled dreams.
Side A takes root in overlooked verges and massive voltage, then unfolds along early analogue paths, melting gestures, nights of silver tears, and Leeds-cloud haze. Side B opens into celestial mediumship and the hidden life of stones, then moves through whispering figures, closed-eye warmth, Lovecraftian walking, and a dream seen that day.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly melancholic, and richly textured — blending organic observation, analogue warmth, and quiet mystery. Perfect for deep listening, late-night walks, or sitting still while the world slowly unravels.
The tape unspools its visions.
Side A
00:03:28 ambalek – Roots
Overlooked suburban corners reveal themselves in slow photographic light. ambalek – Roots. Nature’s small moments gather among fences and quiet verges, each observation taking root in soft organic colour.
00:07:43 Baldocaster & Prog Mountain – Massive Dynamic
Massive shapes pulse with dynamic voltage. Baldocaster & Prog Mountain – Massive Dynamic. Sonic architecture rises in heavy luminous blocks that shift and reassemble under their own gravity.
00:09:38 Analogue Path – Post Rock 001
Early exploratory paths open across analogue ground. Analogue Path – Post Rock 001. Guitar tones and evolving textures mark the first stretches of a long road still unfolding ahead.
00:13:45 Arbee – Se fondre
Modular snippets of melody dissolve into one another. Arbee – Se fondre. Unnoticed actions and quiet gestures texture the air. Details surface at their own pace, inviting deep immersion.
00:16:15 TREVØR – Night of a Thousand Tears
A thousand tears fall through night-coloured air. TREVØR – Night of a Thousand Tears. Each drop catches and releases light, turning sorrow into a rain of silver points.
00:24:07 Adel Music Club – Melt the Clouds
Leeds jams from the early nineties melt the clouds above. Adel Music Club – Melt the Clouds. Assorted tunes recorded in various rooms rise through a photographic slide bought at the outdoor market, the sky itself softening into warm analogue haze.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
Side B
00:25:19 Aglaia – Mediumship
Celestial altitudes open in peaceful hypnotic currents. Aglaia – Mediumship. Processed acoustic instruments and subtle electronics weave a mysterious mandala. Consciousness flies through boundless spaces, receiving rather than transmitting, as sponges, anemones and particle clouds dominate the descent.
00:41:32 Walt Shaw – The secret life of stones
Stones keep their secret life among constructed percussion. Walt Shaw – The secret life of stones. Pebbles roll inside bowls and cans. Gongs, springs, saw blades, glass and metal plates vibrate under contact microphones. Accidents become rich textures, blood wiped away, the unexpected harnessed into drones and decay.
00:45:33 Cries from the LTN – Caggy’s Jam
Silent figures whisper through Caggy’s jam. Cries from the LTN – Caggy’s Jam. Hidden mysteries unravel in the compositions that shadow us, each narrative rising from the Quiet Figures still gathering.
00:56:12 Six Missing – Eyes Closed
Eyes close while vintage analogue warmth holds the listener. Six Missing – Eyes Closed. Synths and guitars chosen for heart and human touch accompany late nights, travel and smaller details. One self passes into another in quiet accepted motion.
00:58:50 Almost Random – I walk whilst the world Unravelled
The world unravels while a walker moves through Lovecraftian mists. Almost Random – I walk whilst the world Unravelled. Celephais docks give way to Kingsport fog and forgotten cities in eastern sands. Eurorack voices lead the procession under a lecturer’s gaze.
01:03:29 Silentwave – The dream I saw that day
A dream seen that day returns as improvised drone. Silentwave – The dream I saw that day. Soft luminous layers drift in open oneiric space.
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.
Does that stir anything?

Little Sisters Curls
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A warm, gentle, and introspective journey through pastoral folk, ambient guitar, and soft electronic textures with a strong sense of nature and nostalgia.
Side A blends intimate folk storytelling, dreamy coastal drifts, and lush emotional songwriting into earthy, organic soundscapes. Side B flows into shimmering downtempo, soulful introspection, neoclassical elegance, and playful folktronica before ending on a smooth, continuous ambient note.
Overall mood: Sunny yet melancholic, tender, and deeply comforting. It feels like a peaceful spring or early summer day — wandering through fields, sitting by the coast, or watching golden light fade in the evening. Warm, hopeful, and emotionally rich with a beautiful balance of folk heart and ambient serenity. Perfect for relaxed listening, quiet reflection, or gentle background accompaniment.
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.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
One side flip, just the music.
Side A
00:00:00 The Modern Folk – Two Sisters
Gentle, haunting folk with intimate storytelling and delicate melancholy. Warm and wistful
00:03:37 The Order Of The 12 – Eye Of A Lens
Hypnotic, swirling psychedelic electronica with rich analogue layers and cosmic focus. Mesmerizing.
00:07:50 Old Amica – To the Coastline
Dreamy, windswept ambient folk with soft textures and coastal longing. Peaceful and evocative.
00:11:37 Bon Iver – Second Nature
Warm, introspective indie-folk with lush production and emotional vulnerability. Beautifully tender.
00:15:28 Austin Potter – Springtime
Bright, hopeful ambient-folk with fresh spring-like clarity and gentle optimism.
00:17:52 Danny Paul Grody – Hidden Valley
Pastoral, fingerstyle guitar ambient with serene beauty and hidden valley tranquility. Gorgeous.
00:22:13 Jeff Gburek + Eryk Nowacki – Artemesia & Moringa

Smooth, flowing ambient with seamless transitions and comforting continuity. Perfect ending.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178
15 February 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
A sonic journey with a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
We float tonight through drifts of ambient electronic, modular wanderings, dubwise echoes, some art rock angles, leftfield pop inflections, drone undertows, and the odd burst of experimental pop. Places flicker by: Wormhole World gatherings, Republic of Music corners, Castles in Space haunts, Invisible Inc. pathways, Four Flies shadows, and points scattered from Lancashire to Vilnius, Munich to Mexico City.
The longest stretch in the selection comes from Caught in Joy – Elsewhere, a patient unravelling that lingers in the mind. The shortest snaps past in a flash with Allmanna Town – Sample 24, not even reaching the minute mark.
We begin with Dubberrookie and Winter Weather, a seasonal drift from A Wormhole Xmas 2025 on Wormhole World. Chilled dub pulses meet wintry synth haze, gentle echoes folding into themselves like snow settling on rooftops.
Headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the frequencies claim you.
Dubberrookie – Winter Weather. Dubberrookie will appear on my upcoming compilation “Puzzles of the Psyche”. There’s still time. Send in your entries by March 25.
Now Floating Points with Precursor, the bonus unreleased cut from the Elaenia 10 Year Anniversary on the Republic of Music label. Sparse piano gestures meet subtle electronic undercurrents, a quiet prelude that breathes slow and deliberate.
Floating Points – Precursor.
Next up Bahia Brazil based artist – Navin Kala offers Vijf from Spinoza on a favourite label of the show Mystery Circles. Minimalist piano lines trace thoughtful paths, space around each note allowing contemplation to gather.
Navin Kala – Vijf. A reminder now if you have a piece of music that has meant a lot to you for some reason tell me about it. I’m putting together a new show called “Chord Confessions” and I need some tales behind the most important music ever released. PM me on the socials or email me trevlad@gmail.com Now back to the show.
Now amping up the drone. Stewart Keller brings Disheveled Zen from the whopping 100 track 2020-2025 Archives. Loosened field recordings and soft electronics tangle in a relaxed, almost accidental calm.
Stewart Keller – Disheveled Zen.
Here’s me Trevlad with Curving Archive Scales from the Trick or Treat 4 compilation on Sounds for the Soul. Archive dust and curving scales weave a long, meditative thread, time marked in subtle modular shifts.
Trevlad – Curving Archive Scales. Just a quick shout out to the latest followers Bernt Haas, who I believe is part of the Cries from the LTN outfit. Also Liquid Shape and The Tall Librarian. Thanks for the follow.
Now Mexico City based artists Eafhm and Mwamwa collaborate on Luzne (Mwamwa Part) from the split release on Secuencias Temporales. Dubby bass hums beneath fragmented vocal traces, a hazy half-step wander.
Eafhm, Mwamwa – Luzne (Mwamwa Part).
And now for something completely different. Deerhoof deliver L’Amour Stories from Apple O’ on Joyful Noise Recordings. Quick, angular art rock bursts with playful yelps and tight rhythmic jabs.
Deerhoof – L’Amour Stories.
Garda slips in Substratum from S-Lyga on the Neotantra label. Deep drone layers build slow atmospheric weight, substratum textures rumbling low.
Garda – Substratum.
Now time to punk it up. Tinned Meats present Caught in the Wild from Kilter on I Heart Noise. Raw edges meet noisy propulsion, caught somewhere between garage grit and wilder impulses. Mad stuff…
Tinned Meats – Caught in the Wild.
And now Keith Seatman with Tonight’s Guests Are? from the forthcoming Counting to Ten Then Back Again on Castles in Space. Radiophonic quirks and psych-folk fragments evoke childhood games and firework packaging memories, playful yet oddly disorienting.
Keith Seatman – Tonight’s Guests Are?
The Polish legend of Coconut Creek, Caught in Joy closes Side A with Elsewhere.
Karol is the most prolific Berlin school artist on the planet. He produces so much quality music on a weekly basis. Which he records live and can be witnessed on his Youtube channel. Analogue drooling adventures. The track Elsewhere is from the release Colorfield. Self released back in mid December. Karol has released 4 albums since then just for some perspective. This is Analogue coloured space drifts to close out the first side of the show.
Side B
We turn the cassette. If you have something you want featured on the shows lease don’t be shy. I’m not on a schedule which means I get to do shows several times a week, which means you won’t have to wait long to hear your music here. Here’s a label that does just that from the fantastic Italian label Four Flies Records. Chiaré opens with Ago e Filo from the album Sei. Italian library echoes meet modern restraint, strings and subtle grooves threading through.
Chiaré – Ago e Filo.
Now LOULA YORKE shares The Hidden Messages in Water (Live at the Mount Without) from Live Compendium 2 on Truxalis. Live-captured modular meditations unfold with quiet intensity, water-like ripples expanding.
LOULA YORKE – The Hidden Messages in Water (Live at the Mount Without).
Next another artist who has contributed in the past to my compilations the fantastic The Music Liberation Front Sweden who arrive with A Lot Of Things Ain’t Changing from their collection on Third Kind Records. Warped pop edges bend familiar shapes into something skewed and resilient.
The Music Liberation Front Sweden – A Lot Of Things Ain’t Changing.
And Now Higamos Hogamos rework Re-Exit (GK Machine Dub Voyager) from Voyager Dubs on Glasgows Invisible, Inc. Deep dub transformations stretch the original into cavernous space.
Higamos Hogamos – Re-Exit (GK Machine Dub Voyager).
Francesca Guccione offers Mechanical Promenade from Connected 3 on IUWE Records. Mechanical rhythms promenade alongside delicate electric piano, a poised mechanical dance. A wonderful must have compilation celebrating 9 of the best female experimental electronic out there. In fact the entire label focuses on the beauty of female diversity in electronic music. Enjoy.
Francesca Guccione – Mechanical Promenade.
Komodo Kolektif follow with Disciple Of The Drone (GK Machine Disciple Of The Dub) also from that Voyager Dubs compilation on Invisible, Inc. Drone devotion meets dub disciple rites, heavy and hypnotic. Invisible, Inc. is a label I wish I could play more of on the channel, and just can’t for financial reasons. They are great so if you can grab some of their beautiful physical releases.
Komodo Kolektif – Disciple Of The Drone (GK Machine Disciple Of The Dub).
Now friend of the show Russian artist Ndorfik contributes Tahvi from Solos on People Can Listen. 5/8 Idm explorations carve sparse, introspective paths. Ndorfik has enlightened me on the fact that Mixcloud is not available without streaming through VPNs in his neck of the woods. So I send him the files of past shows so he can spread the good word.
Ndorfik – Tahvi.
Now the penultimate track and two masters of the ambient scene. Rhucle & Arbee bring Mournful Sky from Plain on David Cordero curated label Noray Records. Mournful ambient skies drift with gentle melancholy, field-like textures breathing slow.
Rhucle & Arbee – Mournful Sky.
Material for future shows is always welcome. Send your vibrations to trevlad@gmail.com. Purchase paths glow at trevor.se and in each show’s timeline.
Until the next cassette turns.
Trevor, signing off from Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 178.
I leave you with the very short track Sample 24 by Allmanna Town Allmanna Town is Phil Dodds who runs the amazing Waxing Crescent Records and my fellow Stockholm dweller Jonas Geiger Ohlin of The New Emphatic fame. this track is from Rodents out on their own Bandcamp imprint. Sampled fragments glitch and reform in rodent-quick bursts.
And that fades us out. Cheerio…
