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.
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…

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 168
15 January 2026
Virtual mixtape radio for the sonically adventurous. 20 artists. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
Here is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library – episode 168.
Here on the virtual deck tonight, another selection pulled from the shelves of the library. Electronic currents, ambient drifts, synthesizer explorations, some deep techno pulses, kosmische traces, italian library breaks, and a few passages into hauntology and experimental corners.
We begin side A.
Steve Hauschildt – Statue of Verdigris – from Aeropsia
A shimmering, verdant drift of modular synth layers from Tbilisi, Georgia that feels permanently suspended in early morning light. Available through Simul Records.
Here is 6 minutes from Awe Kid – Eve (Max Cooper Remix) – from Atomnation 2025 Compilation 2
Intricate, breathing jungle rework with crystalline rhythms and vast open skies. The first of two works from this great compilation.
Saïph – Tellurkraft – from Accentape007: Saïph – Teriak 2
Staying in the beat section we have dense, rolling dubtechno pressure from Paris, heavy with reverb tails and mineral undertones.
Let’s take it down with VVvrm – Nightwatch – from Praise the Hidden Path
Shadowy, nocturnal dungeon synth that guards the gates between worlds. Bringing us back to, or into, gaming mode.
Coming up wonderful 5/8 timings with Portland Vows – Algor – from Living Posthumously
Bleak, isolationist dark ambient from the Pacific Northwest, cold wind across abandoned concrete. On the amazing Third Kind Record label.
Short and sweet with Suncastle – Evenbloom – from Like Failing Clockwork
Gentle, nature synth drift, soft blooms unfolding across a failing, crackling, mechanical horizon. Available through Triplicate records.
Epic drones coming up from Gidge – Whiteout – from Atomnation 2025 Compilation 2
Sweeping, melodic techno from Sweden with white-noise horizons and distant emotional thunder. The second piece from this must have Atomisation release.
Bringing back some percussive elements with Monoparts – Scattered Parts – from 2025 Label Compilation mixed by Todos (A Strangely Isolated Place)
Fragmented IDM constructions, delicate and quietly chaotic.
Here comes almost 6 minutes of dub from Shadow Dancer – Bom20 – from 1997-1998 Unreleased
Raw, vintage Chicago acid lines via Manchester unearthed from the late 90s archive. Self Released.
Coming up the last entry for the A side and the most adventurous outing of the show I dare say. Just under 6 minutes from aeon – Sora (adagio for shrimps) – from the compilation Resonances from the Depths
Submerged, watery electroacoustic meditation with strange, gentle crustacean lullabies. Recorded with real live shrimps. aeon is a top friend of the channel and this is a piece from my second compilation outing available via the Trevlad Bandcamp page.
(tape slows… mechanical clunk… flip… tape leader hiss)
More atmospheres from distant places tonight – Sweden, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Norway, and even a whisper from Argentina.
Scottish artist Moray Newlands – The Recesses – another one from my own Murmurs in the Mist compilation.
Quiet, misty drone passages that linger in forgotten corridors. It’s so nice to see the artists from my releases getting airplay out there. Don’t forget to send in your entries for the upcoming Puzzles of the Psyche compilation before March 26th.
And now two minutes of bliss from Nicholas Langley – 1996 – from Entropy Soundtracks & Ambients Volume 2 (Third Kind Records)
Nostalgic 90s hauntology, crackling with the ghosts of old TV idents. If you think I’ve being playing a lot from Third Kind Records lately it’s because they sent me their entire discography. Hint hint, wink wink, say no more.
Meftah – 7 – from The Second Circle (Neroli Records)
Minimal, 7/8 timed hypnotic pulse carved from deep Parisian shadows.
The legendary Kid Spatula – Spitalfield – from Joozy (Mike Paradinas aka Mu-ziq aka Kid Spatula
Playful, skewed IDM with bright, wonky angles. and a fantastic synth bass line. Another one available through Third Kind Records.
And here’s another great bass line but from the 70s with a short one by Rocchi, Godi, Chiarosi or the Modern Sound Quartet – Confabulante – from Italian Library Breaks (Four Flies Records)
Funky, swinging library groove straight out of Milan, on another channel supporting label.
A clear nod to Kraftwerk coming now with the longest piece on the episode clocking in at 7 minutes 28 seconds from Michael Brückner – Sequential Blue – from A Sequence of Colours (Cyclical Dreams) Massive shoutout to Pablo from the label who sends me all the latest from the label.
Berlin School sequences that ripple outward in deep azure waves.
Another one on the longer side at 5:48 from Trem 77 – Aepochs – from the album of the same name.
Cosmic, expansive synthesizer music that stretches across epochs. Thank you to the artist for sending me this and for the kind words about the channel. Don’t forget to send stuff you’d like to hear me play. It doesn’t have to be your own.
And now for something completely different with some short exclusive soul vibes from Norwegian Les Imprimés – Next Summer – from Fading Forward
Warm, sweet soul with gentle indie touches, looking toward brighter days. Coming soon on Big Crown Records and Colemine Records.
Al Lover Meets Cairo Liberation Front – Level 5 – from Nymphaea Caerulea
Psychedelic dub ritual, heavy percussion meeting ancient plant visions. Out on the amazing Gothenburg Sweden based label Höga Nord Rekords.
Now to end episode 168 of The Virtual Cassette Library I bring you some haunted piano from Swoop and Cross – Elco eda – from On the Grounds of Indecency (Perceptual Tapes)
Strange, off-kilter experimental soundscape with hidden narratives.
And that concludes episode 168. Thanks for staying with the tape right to the end. Until the next flip. Cheerio…

On the B side, Dolphins of Venice on Mahorka, Ekoplekz, Portland Vows, and my own track Project Admire Spreads drift through the signal. Jah Wobble, Kid Spatula, and Pyramids of Phobos add echoes of spoken word, IDM, and hauntological soundscapes.
Labels orbiting here include Adventurous Music, Cyclical Dreams, Third Kind Records, Wormhole World, and Balmat. Styles range from ambient and deep techno to ritual electronics, kosmische, jazz-funk, and experimental sound art. These transmissions stretch across places—Mexico City, Lisbon, Leipzig, Glasgow, and Uppsala—woven into the resonance of the library.
