Episode 255 is based on the track “Buoy.” by “Willebrant” from the release “Selected Works – Slowed and Reverb, Volume 2”. Which Australian artist Karl Willebrant sent me a couple of days back. The track is over 13 minutes long so it should be on an episode of Expansive Waves which is my long form music show. For the moment that’s on hold as I don’t have the will to do one. Mainly from lack of time but also from having to pay for the shows myself as I’m still, after years of trying, missing 2 subscribers from the channel in order to get a payout from Mixcloud. It’s super frustrating dangling on that edge for so long. Anyway a massive shout out to Richard Francés of Hylé Tapes for sending me their catalogue of wonderful releases. You’ll be hearing lots from Hylé Tapes in the near future. In other news, Substak has entered a track for my next compilation release “Quiet Figures”. Get your entry in before September 24th and join him and The Earl of Dean. Details on the Bandcamp page.

Hey everyone… Trevor here, welcome. I’ve always wanted to be a café DJ — you know, the kind who reads the room, feels the energy, and lets the music flow with whatever vibe the people bring in that day. Life took me down so many beautiful roads, but this particular dream… well, it’s still waiting to come true. So today, I’m bringing a little piece of that dream right here for you. This is my series of café and lounge-flavoured sounds — smooth, soulful grooves made for chilling, for unwinding, for good conversations and even better silences. Whether you’re sipping coffee, working on your laptop, curled up on the couch, or just needing a moment to breathe… Let these tracks wrap around you like warm sunlight through the café window. You’re listening to Trev’s Virtual Café. Pull up a seat… and let’s chill.
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.
Side B
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…
votes.riddle.tuck. Brams burgers – great burger joint. Now it’s just a coordinate for whatever this episode is.
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-nine. 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. Headphones on. Let time dissolve. And let the frequencies claim you. We’re bunching it tonight – four transmissions at a time, like weird little dreams stitched into the set. No schedule. Just the mood and the margins.
FIRST CLUSTER Four signals crawling out of the high passes and the liberation fronts. Sonic-Soma – Kinnaur Calling – Cities and Memory, Nepal field recordings turned into sonic soma. The Music Liberation Front Sweden – Astra Shambotica – Submarine Broadcasting, astral jazz revolution. Grosso Gadgetto – Quadrata Dodus Act 2 – Bulgarian label Mahorka, who might be the reason for me not doing these episodes for a few days. Keep an eye and ear out for future Planck Tone episodes I may be guesting. Willebrant – Dell – atmospheric drone from down under. Birds in the rain. A must. You just survived the first transmission: Sonic-Soma, The Music Liberation Front Sweden, Grosso Gadgetto, and Willebrant. The space between us is definitely thinner now.
SECOND CLUSTER Brain shells cracking open, hits amended, voids flattered, dust explained. Zerfranzt – Hirnschale – which means skull or, the nicer translation of, Brain case from Kaiseki Digital, who I’ve been playing lately as Free Album Codes has provided me with codes for some early releases from 2018. German synaptic spill. Trevlad – Hits Enjoyable Amended – self-released soundscape from the episode of the same name. A repeat name from the spot where I try and sleep most nights. This one’s from the album TVCL 10 and has nothing to do with the track of the same name from TVCL 09. Puscha – Sycophanatic – NEN, Melbourne cinematic hypnosis. Provided by Fonodroom. Everyday Dust – Without Explanation – Dustopian Frequencies, Scottish drone stories that evaporate.
You just floated through Zerfranzt, Trevlad, Puscha, and Everyday Dust. Halfway mark is creeping up. I’m starting to feel that metaphysical flip? The universe just winked at you and kept walking.
THIRD CLUSTER (pre-B Side) Edges blurring, bodies floating. phorme – blur – Kaiseki Digital, Australian meditative haze from NSW. Also from 2018. Takashi Kusano – Floating – Sounds for the Soul, Japanese levitation. And then comes the B Side… phorme and Takashi Kusano just lifted you clean out of gravity. Now the bench is empty and the cats are from hell.
FOURTH CLUSTER (B Side) Empty benches, hellcat beats, half-human wires, clinical worms. Substak – Empty Bench – Daydreamers, Greek meditative park-bench snippet. Le Morte d’Abby – Nyanko No Jigoku Beat – dark electro from the neon underworld. Jilk – Half-Human – Bricolage, Glasgow idm hybrid soul. The Foot & Leg Clinic – Worms 2 – alternative rock diagnosis under fluorescent lights. You just sat on Substak’s Empty Bench, got bitten by Le Morte d’Abby’s hellcats, glitched with Jilk, and received a full worm examination from The Foot & Leg Clinic. Your body is now 40% frequency.
FIFTH CLUSTER Appetizers of life, grace with nothing, tidal animation tags, Nordic sea breath. The Appetizers – The Life – Italian roots reggae funk from Rome. Rejoicer – Grace Was Happy (I Found Nothing) – LA epiphany of joyful emptiness. Sounds as if Weather Report did music for film. Record Of Tides – Yoshimoto Animation Tag – Mahorka hauntological Japanese cels on the tide. Glitchy 8-bit crackles. Albin – Havet – Paltunes, Swedish sea inhaling your thoughts. Everything Albin Johansson touches glows with a nostalgic warmth I can never get enough of. You just tasted The Appetizers, let Rejoicer’s Grace smile at nothing, rode Record Of Tides’ animation waves, and sank into Albin’s Havet. The apartment is underwater now.
FINAL CLUSTER Rain shelter geometry and half-a-day London melt. Kikagaku Moyo – Amayadori – Guruguru Brain, psychedelic Tokyo forest clearing. ff8282 – london / half the day – 4000 Records, fractured electronic daydreams. You just sheltered with Kikagaku Moyo and melted through half a London day with ff8282. That’s the whole set. 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 and marked in the timeline. 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 drywall. Cheerio…
END OF BROADCAST Stream free for 7 days on Mixcloud. Background track: Trevlad’s TVCL 11. 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
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.
