Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 274
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-274/
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 274. 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 textured, slightly nocturnal ambient journey through quiet intensity, natural shifts, and digital calm.
Side A moves from prowling glass and sea changes into moonlight grass, barrel flowers, reduced beats, and deep geological time. Side B drifts through wormeries, rushing ascent, liquid amber circles, grid edges, digital meditation, and ends on an old road.
Overall mood: Contemplative, atmospheric, and gently dynamic — blending organic warmth with subtle tension and quiet modern stillness. Perfect for late-evening listening, deep focus, or peaceful immersion.
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 1,101 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 the sprawling and inventive side-project of Suncastle’s George Evans and Kristofer Thomas aka Paris Texas who together call themselves Glass Roots. Yes it’s an older release from 2020 but as it’s on Triplicate records it means that it’s Name Your Price on Bandcamp. Which suits my unimployed world. Anyway the track is a stomping Idm piece titled “Panther Loud” from the album “The Idiot”. Go grab it for as little as you can.
Then a dose of slapped bass in a wonderful track titled “Sea Change” by friend of the shows Emily Sobool, aka Socool who has teamed up with Paul Griffin and released a collection of tunes under the name “Dreams & Riddles”
Next, another team up with Elizabeth Joan Kelly aka Orca and David Rodriguez aka Attack! with a highly original piece titled “Grass In The Moonlight” which is a great name so I think I’ll title this episode after it. It’s from a release out on the Mortality Tables label called, yes “Grass In The Moonlight”.
This will be followed by, would you believe it?, another duo in the form of Ali O’May and Frazer Brown as Dohnavùr and a captivating synth adventure titled “Flowers In The Barrel” from their latest release “We Owe Each Other Everything” which you can get on vinyl from that Castles In Space that’s in everyones library.
After that, not a another duo, o no, a Leeds based act of unknown numbers. Active between 1993-1994 called Adel Music Club. You’ll be treated to some sweet drum breaks and bongos or highly tuned congas in the track titled “Break Beats Nothing” from the release called “Golden Acres” out on the channel supporting FRBH Recordings.
Closing Side A is of course another duo. A name all of you know and are probably a bit tired of after this release. It is of course Boards of Canada with the wonderfully wobbly track “Deep Time” from their latest gem “Inferno”. That’s on vinyl in my collection and is available through Warp Records.
But first, to set the vibe: Glass Roots and Panther Loud.
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 a founder of Triplicate Records, Mr. Michael Southard aka Time Rival and an exclusive, I dare say, from his Bandcamp subscription library titled “Rush Up” from the album “stay safe out there“ which has an official release on the 2nd of October.
Then, speaking of Triplicate Records and their amazing back catalogue I’m playing Belial Pelegrim and an enchanting track titled “Circle of Liquid Ambers”. from the 2020 album “Torus”.
Next. No episode of TVCL would be complete without a dose of modular tweakings. We head to another channel supporting label Paris based Hylé Tapes and the artist Aurel Val with the track “Grid’s End” from the album “Mods-1”. Go grab one of the 7 remaining cassettes on Hylé Tapes.
Near the end we travel to Genoa, Italy with a downtempo summer vibe piece by artist Brioskj titled “Digital Meditation” from the EP The Persuaders! And that’s another Name Your Price release from Finlands finest label: Kahvi Collective.
And finally, a real exclusive track from a true friend of the show. A gentleman fond of words and espicially dialects. Mr. Graham Thorpe who of course is better know as gribbles at least for now. Keep an eye out for upcoming stuff in his own name. Anyway I’m playing a Lemon Jelly flavoured track titled “Owd Roa (Part)” from an upcoming release titled “Agatewards” dropping on boutique label Yellowbelly Records on the 4th of September. Keep an eye out for that.
But first, another exclusive, that makes three for this episode! That deserves a subscription from someone out there does it not?
Anyway, this is an amazing piece of audio art by Imogen Haley Baker who calls herself Enofa, and a rather haunted track titled “The Wormery” from an album called “Small Modernist House in Woodland Setting” which was sent to me by the wonderful Dan Seville, who runs the equally wonderful Subexotic Records. That will be released on double LP black vinyl from the 14th of August. According to the blurb for this release, Imogen made close to a hundred different pieces of music. A lot of htem, she says, will probably stay on her hard drive for decades. Well if you’re listening Imogen, yoou could enter one in for my quiet figures compilation.
Anyway
Enjoy…

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-two.
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 us free for seven days on Mixcloud.
The background track you’re hearing is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11 on Bandcamp. These episodes are sonic journeys with metaphysical flips at the halfway mark—perfect for long walks, mental wanders, or quiet moments alone with the universe.
Shout out to jungleangelo, my latest follower. If you dig glitchy IDM, you should really check out his Trainsporting series here on Mixcloud.
We’re bunching it tonight—three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
This episode is broadcasting from Reaction Agenda Member.
Up first, three transmissions to ease us in.
We start with Solar 76 and the track Drought, via Castles in Space imprint Lunar Module.

And rounding it out: THE GAYE DEVICE – Neon Hymn To The Infinite, self-released on his Bandcamp.
That was THE GAYE DEVICE – Neon Hymn To The Infinite… before that Moray Newlands – The rope will bind the seven books at once… and earlier Subphotic with Nothing Changes.
Moving deeper now.
We have BUNKR – Circling the Monolith, from my own catalogue on Bandcamp.
Then the collaborative piece Brass Clouds, Fog Net, & Volcanic Pinnacles – Decompression (Nocturne) on Bathysphere Records.
And closing the trio: Sven Laux – Carlsen, released on Whitelab Records.

That’s the whole set.
You’ve been listening to… well, everything.
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.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. I’ll read them in my sleep-voice.
See you in the next crack in the wall.
Cheerio…
