Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 174

28 January 2026

///furnish.rests.goggle

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 washed up in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. I’m Trevor, turning the reels in the half-light, playing custodian to these sounds that drift in from places most folk never bother to tune toward.

We’ve got twenty artists lined up across the two sides tonight, twenty fragments of cassette spirit. No rush, no hits, no pleading for your attention. Ambient drifts mingle with electroacoustic textures, spiritual jazz breathes alongside kraut-tinged electronics, improv flickers meet drone horizons. Patience is the only ticket required.

Side A coming right up as we ease in with Bary Center and The Source Of Something Greater – Guide Me Through The Hills Of Your Home – Third Kind Records back in 2020. I’d describe this as Textured ambient with a glitch undercurrent, dub-like pulses buried in meditative marshland haze, a quiet hope threading through the sadness.

Then Asheville, North Carolinas Spooqs brings the shortest track of the episode clocking in a 2:27 with Lyskae, The Fissure – Biomes. Cinematic electroacoustic soundscapes, a pilgrimage mapped in melody across dunes and into salt water, landscapes that remember your footprints.

CV Vision follows with The Jam – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. A slice from the label’s latest roundup, electronics carrying that Hamburg lineage of krautrock echoes and avant-garde restraint.

The longest offering this round at 6:53 Resonating With Life offers Spinning Out of The Skies – Resonating With Life – Cyclical Dreams. Drone and ambient suspended in slow rotation, skies that keep unfolding long after you’ve looked away.

Another short one at 2:50 Galecstasy & Mike Watt Trio step up with Imitation Squid – Wattzotica. Which came out today January 28 on A favourite label and channel sponsoring Mystery Circles. I’d say this is Free improvisation from the Joshua Tree, punk-edged bass from Watt meeting synths and drums in unscripted motion, raw and restless.

GODTET deliver Stepper – +The Sydney Symphony Orchestra – La SAPE records. Spiritual jazz meeting orchestral weight, live from the Sydney Opera House, improvisation threading through fixed structures like light through stone.

Now, me, Trevlad with Obey Beams Starting – TVCL 09. Ambient electronics pulled from the library’s own recent episodes, beams that start quiet and refuse to explain themselves.

Camp of Wolves and Summer’s End – Bear Creek – Castles in Space Lunar Module imprint. Fading seasonal glow, folk-tinged atmospheres cooling into dusk.

Angel Wail – When The Burden Felt Too Heavy. A solitary voice in the weight, A self released single that will be featured on my next compilation Puzzles of the Psyche. A reminder to get your entries in for this before March 25th. This Is classic synth shapings with a sad story.

And closing Side A, one of the longer pieces of the episode at 6:50 Jarguna / Odile Bruckert / Henrik Meierkord close the side with The First Sunrise I Remember – Furrows Of Memory – Projekt Records. Memory etched in gentle field recordings and strings, the first light recalled across years.

Side B.

Hipwell opens with Too Much – Too Much. Available through Island House Recordings. This is Direct, unadorned, a title that says everything and nothing more.

Hipnotic Earth brings Snow Begins To Fall – Islas Calm Cloud – Whitelabrecs. Winter settling in slow layers, calm cloud islands drifting.

OdNu, Mi Cosa de Resistance and mRn with En el Viento – Southern Lands – Southern Lands. On another show sponsoring label Audiobulb. Wind-carried voices and tones, Argentinas southern latitudes whispering through the mix.

Das Kinn – Nichts – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. Another from the Bureau B harvest, negation turned into sound, sparse and deliberate.

Clearways offers Mirage – Latrality. Illusions held in place by careful electronics, edges that shimmer and refuse to solidify.

Serbian artist nedogled with Toplina – Upavi Snovi. Warmth in dream states, tones that wrap rather than strike.

Autistici – 2.25 Degrees of Internalisation – Familiarity Unfolded. Another one out on Audiobulb. Internal shifts measured in fractions, unfolding slow and precise.

London based, Time Attendant brings Lapping Up Flames – The Feral Mould. Flames consumed in reverse, feral shapes moulded into something almost gentle. An odd one this, avant garde in places.

Lorna Dune with Perseids – Sequential Dreaming. Another great release from Mystery Circles. Meteor trails across dreaming sequences, streaking light in the dark.

And now, as the tape hisses toward silence, a few words before we disappear again. Thanks for staying with it. These shows aren’t built for crowds, and neither, perhaps, are you. Support the artists where you can—buy the tapes, the downloads, the vinyl when it appears. Whisper their names into whatever void listens. It matters more than metrics suggest.
This episode streams free on Mixcloud for a week, full links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments. Leave a word if something landed. Or don’t. Quiet has its own frequency.
Until the wind shifts or the reel ends—whichever arrives first—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the universe keep its own counsel.
Antwerp based autumna closes the show with sea flames – Murmurs In The Mist – Trevlad. Flames on water, murmurs rising through fog, a final dissolution.
Don’t miss out on my next compilation. Details on my Bandcamp page.
That was Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. Good night.
