EXPANSIVE WAVES 27
Good evening… or morning… or whatever smeared fragment of clock time you’ve drifted into today. This is EXPANSIVE WAVES 27. I’m Trevor — your host, your unreliable cartographer of the long haul, your occasional sonic conspirator.
This one’s not built for the impatient. Eight pieces. Each one stretching beyond twelve minutes. Together they uncoil for over whatever time that takes. If you came looking for hooks, drops, or anything that resembles forward motion, best to paddle elsewhere. Or just dim the lights, let the room breathe, and allow the ceiling to become a slow-moving planetarium. That works too.
We begin somewhere near the edge of pull with friend of the channel Greek super drone artist Substak and his track Gravity Lapse
Imagine You’re suspended ten feet above your childhood bedroom floor. Everything that once had weight is gently forgetting its job. Books hover. A glass of water tilts but never spills. Your pulse slows until it matches the rhythm of dust motes doing lazy cartwheels in a moonbeam.
The room exhales. Gravity gives up mid-sentence. Substak lets the low end sag like warm taffy while metallic shimmers orbit your head. Stay here. Let your bones remember they’re mostly water.
…and when the floor finally decides to forgive you…
Cells Interlinked with Drift (Summer memories about spring) from the album Cold Spring Notes released on the ever present Cyclical Dreams.
Bare feet on wet grass that hasn’t decided if it’s still spring or already drowning in summer. A bicycle with playing cards in the spokes lies on its side. Someone is laughing three houses away but you can’t tell if it’s 1997 or yesterday. Cherry blossoms fall upward into a sky the colour of melted peach ice cream.
You thought you were driving home but the road turned into a river of pollen and half-remembered songs. Cells Interlinked keeps time with your nostalgia instead of a metronome. Close your eyes. The light behind them is the exact shade of June.
Next… we step through something older than language.
The Taps Of The Holy Trinity with The Passage
(Exclusive track from the upcoming album “Customs & Rituals of…” releasing on the Fenny Compton label on the 20th of June 2026)
Think Candlelight on stone walls older than your grandparents’ grandparents. Bare feet on cold stone. A single drop of water falls every few seconds. Each drip rearranges the molecules of your thoughts. Shadows have their own shadows here.
Listen. These aren’t notes. These are permissions. The Taps Of The Holy Trinity open a door that was never meant to stay closed. Walk through slowly. Something in the dark knows the real you.
From ritual… to sealed silence.
No episode of mine, it seems, is complete without a couple of artists from the Bulgarian label Mahorka. Whom which I’ve done a four part guest show on their wonder Planck Tone series. Ivo Petrov seems to have a knack of bringing fantastic artists together the first of this episode being Toni Dimitrov + Blanket Swimming with the title track from their release Hermetic
So you’re inside a sealed glass sphere floating in deep space. No panic, just warm recognition. Your breath fogs the inside of the glass and spells out forgotten Sigils. A single bulb burns perfectly still in zero gravity. Outside, stars move like slow schools of silver fish.
Hermetic. Sealed. Complete. Two minds braided so tightly the sound has no edges anymore. Just one continuous skin of tone. You are the vessel. You are also what’s inside the vessel.
And then the paths appear… whether you asked for them or not.
Andreas Rönnquist + rsn the second piece from the Mahorka label with the track invisible paths from their album within remoteness
Midnight in an endless bamboo forest. Moonlight cuts through the stalks in perfect geometric slices. Every few steps the ground becomes a mirror. You see versions of yourself walking parallel paths you never chose.
These paths are the anywhere. Andreas and rsn hand you a lantern made of negative space. Follow it. Or don’t. The forest doesn’t mind either way.
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, someone is still adjusting the dials…
R&D and the track Adjust the Mixture from the album, Periscope Depth, performed at The Adventurers Guild.
Think an abandoned chemical laboratory at 3:33 a.m. Beakers bubble with liquid starlight. A scientist in a lab coat keeps turning knobs that control the weather inside your ribcage. The air tastes of copper and déjà vu.
R&D mixing states of being. One part memory, two parts future, a dash of never-was. Breathe it in. Your blood is learning new colours.
And just when you think the canvas is finished…
Friend of the channel Alex Ringess with Tableau #4 from his fantastic release Analog Abstractions.
Now, you’re standing inside a fresh painting. The oils are still alive. Mountains breathe. A river of mercury reflects a sky that contains every sunset you’ve ever ignored. The frame is optional.
Alex Ringess paints the silence between sounds. Step inside Tableau #4. The perspective is wrong in the best possible way.
Final orbit…
From Sydney, Australia, Bill Astro Music and the track Fragile Orbit from the album Trinary Solitude.
A small, imperfect satellite made childhood wishes tumbling end over end around a lonely planet. One more revolution and it might kiss the atmosphere and burn beautifully. For now, it sings.
We’re all in fragile orbit. Bill Astro reminds us how lovely that is. How temporary. How perfect.
Until the next fragment of drifting time pulls us back into the same warm current… this is Trevor, signing off from EXPANSIVE WAVES 27.
Cheerio…

Welcome to the new Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is based on the track “Tenebris” by friend of the channel Gareth Evans, also known as own as HDRF. Available on the upcoming compilation “The Mystery of the Night”. Dropping June 26 on my own Bandcamp page. There is still time for you to get your entries in.
If you make music 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.
And if you’re enjoying the channel, please consider subscribing — even if it’s just for a month, it makes a real difference.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
No breaks, just the music.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 191
09 April 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Hey.
Welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the wall.
This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. Episode one-nine-one.
We’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous.
But really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the world outside forgets I exist.
Stream free for seven days on Mixcloud.
Background track tonight is available on Trevlad’s TVCL 11. The episode is a sonic journey with a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe that definitely isn’t watching you back.
Massive shout out to Ivo Petrov of Mahorka for pulling me into the Planck Tone series. Big love to my latest followers Andy InPhase. Check his mix Beautiful Nonsense. Cedric Wattergniaux (Kilmarth) who I played back on episode 173, Julian Kalchev ( Virtually J ) who I played on the latest Alone on the Dance Floor episode and Claudio Gasparini who has a massive following with less than ten mixes. You’re doing something right.
Anyway.
Headphones on.
Let time dissolve.
And let the frequencies claim you.
We’re bunching it tonight—three transmissions at a time. Like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
Tonight’s episode is broadcasting from… molars.blunt.notices.
Which is the location of Miyakodori—a Japanese-style gastro bar here in Stockholm where the food probably whispers secrets when the lights go out.
Let’s go.
First cluster incoming.
The episodes longest piece at 11:24. Just making the 12 minute limit. Vel Raine drifts in like bioluminescent waves from some distant galactic tide—Galactic Ocean Waves Flickering. Anything over 12 minutes ends up on another series of mine EXPANSIVE WAVES.
Then Fm Outt with that beautiful, futuristic sadness—Incomplete Kisses. Out on the Secuencias Temporales label.
And closing the trio, yours truly with something off the old virtual shelf—Caravan Grew Vaccines.
These three are about to melt into each other. Don’t fight it.
Still with me? Good. The walls are thinning.
Next transmission packet.
Heading back to 2007 and Sevensy opens a glowing doorway with Moon Arch. Out on the Mahorka label. Who I’ve done a series of Planck Tone specials for. The first is available now.
Stewart Keller follows with the, graceful exhale—Swan Song.
Then another long one at 10:27. Lee Evans slides in sideways with Bow Tel Banti—because why not. Out on The Jewel Garden which is described as being part label, pure vanity
Three more stitches in the dream.
Third and final cluster of the night.
French artist, Near Stoic paints movement in light—Kinematic Lights. Out on Third Kind Records.
Foxwarren gets not serious in Serious.
And Time Rival affirms existence with Also Yes.
Lean in. This one’s slippery.
One last track before the flip from Paul Beaudoin who goes plucky on Mercury’s Whisper. Out on Chitra Records sub label Ambient Cat.
You know the drill. The frequencies don’t stop just because the clock does.

The lights are lower. The sounds are looser.
Same rules: three transmissions stitched together like half-remembered dreams.
First B Side packet.
Going live now. GODTET brings in Cantus—big, orchestral, locked-in groove with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra riding shotgun. Out on La Sape Records
TOMC follows with the 8 minute journey—18, Chasing the Sun (Part 1, 2 & 3).
And Portland Vows closes it with Stone Children—haunting little shadows from the north. Out on Third Kind Records.
Let these three pull you under.
Next cluster. Snow is falling sideways tonight.
Erik Wøllo opens with Snow Tides—vast, Norwegian winter textures stretching out like frozen fjords. Out on Projekt records
El Michels Affair slides in cool and cinematic with the Indifference (Instrumental). Out on Big Crown Records. I’m loving this release. Library music just fills a hole in me.
Then mytrip whispers annie—a Mahorka ghost from the archive, quiet and close.
Headphones tighter. This one’s cold and intimate.
Last trio of the night.
Scott Orr with the simple, devastating Scott. Which I discovered from the recent Late-Night Tales release curated by Barry Can’t Swim
Jackson Mico Milas takes us Sea, Interior. Also on That Late-Night Tales release.
And Grammy-nominated Tim Story ends the main transmissions with Decelarate or Fasten—because sometimes you need both at once.
One more cluster before we fade.
You just heard Tim Story’s Decelarate or Fasten, Jackson Mico Milas’ Sea, Interior, and Scott Orr’s Scott.
One final transmission still to come…
The great Anubis Rude closes the show with Transmutation. Out on artist curated label Ingrown Records.
That’s the whole set.
You’ve been listening to… well, everything. But the last transmission you heard was Anubis Rude’s Transmutation pulling us through the veil.
Thanks for floating here with me.
I hope the journey sends you in the direction of these artists. All the links and purchase paths are illuminated at trevor.se, on Trevor Lewis on Substack, and marked in the timeline like little glowing breadcrumbs.
If you’re still listening… you’re in the club.
No meetings. No rules. Just dust and frequencies.
Send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
Send stories for Chord Confessions. I’ll read them in my sleep-voice.
See you in the next crack in the wall.
Cheerio…

Alone on the Dance Floor 06
For those that dance to a different tune.
A place to let loose. A short break from the ambience that usually dominated the channel.
Great to be back with another outing of Alone on the Dance Floor.
It’s been a while. This episode contains four artists on the Mahorka radar.
Virtually J, Hypnos, Recidivist and MBA. I’ve done a bunch of guest mixes for the amazing Planck Tone series which Ivo Petrovs’ Mahorka does.
It’s also got a track by Anhnch from my latest compilation Puzzles of the Psyche available on Bandcamp.
This series comes out whenever I can make the time to create them. Like all my shows.
I am not affiliated with any station and do not get paid for this work.
I rely entirely on labels and artists sending me material, an unquenchable thirst for sharing great sounds, a handful of Mixcloud subscribers and a few sales from Bandcamp.
Also in this episode a few favourite labels that keep me updated. Castles In Space, Waxing Crescent Records and, of course, Mahorka.

28 March 2026
hey.
welcome back… or maybe you just crawled in through a crack in the drywall.
this is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. episode one-eight-eight.
we’re still pretending it’s a radio show for the sonically adventurous, but really it’s just me and the frequencies arguing in an empty apartment while the city outside forgets we exist.
bags.colder.inched.
a great Thai restaurant, apparently. now it’s a coordinate for whatever this episode is.
twenty artists. no schedule. drops when the mood hits.
labels haunting the margins: Passed Recordings, whitelabrecs, Ingrown, Audiobulb… you know the ones.
braindance, idm, alternative, whatever slips between the cracks like water through broken concrete.
Honolulu to Amsterdam to Prague to Saint Petersburg. the world’s shrinking but the weird pockets are still warm.
send files, confessions, whatever, to trevlad@gmail.com.
send stories for Chord Confessions. that track that ruined you or saved you. i’ll read it in my sleep-voice or you record it yourself. win-win-win.
I’m also doing Trev Tales now—little dreams stitched into the sets. long lucid naps you’re not sure you want to wake up from.

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.
Ode to the fem
00:00:00 Patricia Wolf – The Grotto
(from the album See-Through)
Balmat records.
Soft emerald light filters through a hidden cave entrance, illuminating dripping stalactites that gleam like wet crystals. Shadows shift gently across moss-covered stone walls as faint ripples spread across a shallow turquoise pool. Pale vines curl downward, touching the water’s surface, while distant echoes suggest unseen chambers opening further in.
00:02:54 marine eyes – suddenly green
(from the album to belong)
Past Inside the Present.
Early morning fog lifts from rolling hills, revealing fresh blades of grass sparkling with dew under a pale sky. Sunlight breaks through in soft patches, turning the landscape a vivid, almost luminous shade of spring green. Distant wildflowers sway lightly, and the air feels newly alive with quiet renewal.
00:05:50 IKSRE – Granite
(from the album Solar Return: Golden Hour Mix)
Imaginary North.
Ancient rock faces rise stark against a vast, open sky at dusk, their rough surfaces etched with veins of quartz that catch fading golden light. Wind moves across the stone, carrying subtle grains of dust, while the horizon blurs into warm amber tones, evoking timeless solidity and quiet endurance.
00:09:01 Panic Girl – Feathers Of Hope
(from the album Memories)
i u we records.
Delicate white feathers drift slowly downward through golden afternoon light, catching gentle currents in an open meadow. They settle softly on tall grass stems, some twirling upward again before landing, surrounded by distant wild blooms and a sense of uplifting lightness.
00:11:26 Volker Rapp – Out of my Mind
(from the album Blade Runner 2099)
Cyclical Dreams.
Neon reflections shimmer across rain-slicked streets in a futuristic cityscape at night, with towering holographic billboards flickering in electric blues and pinks. Distant flying vehicles streak overhead, their lights trailing like comets, while the scene pulses with synthetic glow and detached introspection.
00:11:58 Andrea Cichecki – Different Step
(from the album Drawn Into The Edge Effect)
Castles In Space.
Footsteps trace an irregular path along a narrow coastal ledge at twilight, where waves crash below against dark rocks. Mist rises from the sea, blending with soft purple hues in the sky, and small stones shift underfoot, marking a deliberate yet wandering rhythm.
00:15:24 glo – kenóō
(from the album associated with experimental/ambient contexts, often standalone or mix-featured)
Empty temple halls stretch into dim distance, lit only by faint lanterns casting long shadows on wooden floors. Incense smoke curls lazily upward, dissolving into stillness, while subtle echoes of distant chimes linger in vast, open space.
00:21:22 Sachi Kobayashi – Healing
(from the album Weathervane)
Stereoscenic Records.
Gentle sunlight filters through a canopy of leaves in a quiet forest clearing, dappling the ground with moving patterns of gold. A soft wind stirs wild grasses and small white flowers, carrying a sense of calm restoration that spreads outward like slow-spreading warmth.
00:24:31 Amorphous Androgynous – Meadows
(from the album associated with their ambient/electronic works, often A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble series context)
Wide open fields stretch under a vast blue sky, dotted with clusters of wildflowers swaying in a warm breeze. Butterflies drift lazily between blooms, and distant tree lines shimmer in heat haze, evoking endless peaceful expanse.
00:27:42 the black Albumen – provokovieff
(from the album associated with Buried Treasure releases)
Buried Treasure.
Abstract geometric shapes float in deep black void, slowly rotating and intersecting with faint glowing edges in crimson and violet. Forms distort and reform like liquid metal, creating tension through precise yet unpredictable motion.
00:30:09 Pogo – Alice (Extended)
(from the album Broken Beats & Magic Snacks or extended rework context)
Vibrant cartoon woodlands come alive with swirling colors: oversized mushrooms glow in neon pinks and blues, teacups float mid-air, and checkerboard paths twist into impossible loops. Madcap elements whirl together in playful, accelerating chaos.
00:33:13 Emily A. Sprague – Horizon
(from the album Mount Vision)
RVNG Intl.
A flat, endless ocean meets a pale sky at dawn, with thin layers of pastel clouds drifting low. Subtle waves lap forward, reflecting soft rose and lavender tones that gradually brighten, holding a meditative line of infinite calm.
00:39:13 Scott Gilmore – Subtle Vertigo
(from the album Subtle Vertigo)
Spiraling staircases ascend into misty heights within an old tower, their steps worn smooth and bathed in diffused light from narrow windows. Shadows curve along curved walls, inducing a gentle, disorienting pull upward.
00:43:35 Cate Brooks – Curig
(from the album Horizons or related Ghost Box-inspired works)
Rolling Welsh hills under overcast skies, with ancient stone walls dividing emerald fields. Sheep graze quietly, and faint mist clings to distant ridges, evoking rural solitude and timeless pastoral quiet.
00:48:38 Tim Shiel – Between Ends (feat. Lonelyspeck)
(from the album Glowing Pains: Music From The Gardens Between)
Spirit Level
Twilight bridges connect shadowy urban fragments, suspended over dark water where city lights reflect in fractured lines. Echoing vocal fragments drift across the scene, marking a liminal space of transition and unresolved emotion.
00:50:09 Dean Honer, Supreme Vagabond Craftsman – I Saw The Frogman
(from the album Frogman)
A surreal pond at midnight, illuminated by moonlight: a humanoid figure with frog-like features emerges halfway from the water, wearing an old coat, staring curiously. Reeds sway around lily pads, blending whimsy with eerie folklore.
00:53:11 Hong Kong In The 60s – Disintegration, The Advisory Circle Reshape
(from the album Disintegration or reshape series)
Old film reels flicker with decaying 1960s Hong Kong street scenes: neon signs buzz and blur, crowds dissolve into grainy static, and colors bleed outward in slow analog decay, reshaped into haunting nostalgia.
00:56:08 Anita Tatlow – in hallowed spaces
(from the album the farthest star)
slow echo.
Sunlight streams through tall arched windows in an empty cathedral, illuminating dust motes dancing in golden beams. Stone pillars rise into shadow, and faint reverb carries the sense of sacred, resonant emptiness.
00:59:34 Lisa Bella Donna – Big Briar Cove
(from the album *Moogmentum (Presented by the Bob Moog Foundation)
*)
Thick briar thickets encircle a hidden cove along a rugged coastline, where tangled vines climb over weathered rocks. Waves roll in gently below, and wildflowers peek through thorns, creating a secluded, overgrown sanctuary.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 184
08 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.
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.
