Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 199
A sacred space for quiet reflection.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
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.
Side A
00:00:00 Edward Givens – Somber Meditation
A deeply introspective and solemn ambient piece with minimalist piano and subtle atmospheric layers. It creates a contemplative, almost sacred space for quiet reflection.
00:06:04 Talkdemonic – Two Weeks
Cinematic ambient/post-rock from Kevin O’Connor. Driving yet melodic rhythms and evocative textures build a sense of emotional urgency and forward motion.
00:07:32 Ghostloop – Wired dialogue
Minimal, melodic drone ambient with gentle, interconnected layers. It feels like a quiet conversation between electronic voices—intimate, thoughtful, and unfolding in real time.
00:11:37 Spheruleus – Olympus Days
Warm, mythic ambient from The Lost Catalogue. Glowing drones and celestial textures evoke sunlit marble ruins and timeless, god-like serenity.
00:14:30 Silence & The Unwinking Minds – Conjure
Textural, immersive ambient blending lush electronics with gritty, tape-saturated edges. A slow invocation that conjures unexpected beauty from tension and shadow.
00:17:45 36 – Symmetry Systems (Indigo)
Elegant, crystalline ambient from Dennis Huddleston. Perfectly balanced harmonic layers in deep indigo hues create a sense of infinite symmetry and emotional clarity.
00:20:04 HDRF – Tenebris
Dark, mysterious ambient exploring the enigma of night. Rich, shadowy drones and subtle nocturnal details draw you into the unknown.
00:23:43 Bahrambient, Retland, Kilometre Club – Cumulonimbus (Lauge Rework)
Expansive, cloud-like ambient with soaring, stormy grandeur. Lauge’s rework adds depth and movement to these towering, atmospheric formations.
Side B
00:26:48 OID – Rodn
Intriguing, paradox-laden ambient with unique sonic character. Dense yet spacious, it rewards deep listening with hidden details and shifting perspectives.
00:34:50 Binaural Space – Artificial Storm
Immersive, spatial ambient simulating a manufactured tempest. Binaural recording techniques place you inside swirling winds and electric tension.
00:37:15 Oberlin – (It Is A) Taboo
Raw, underground ambient/electronic exploration. Bold and slightly transgressive textures push boundaries in a hypnotic, session-style recording.
00:46:51 Ed Herbers – Calculated Risk
Cinematic, narrative-driven ambient with a sense of quiet peril. Tense yet beautiful layers evoke high-stakes decisions in unknown territory.
Raining Fêtes Urge
Good evening… or good morning, wherever you are. This is Trevor.
Welcome once again to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set itself. This episode titled Raining Fêtes Urge is based on the track Villages, Hamlets And Fêtes (version) by one of my all time favorite artists Matthew Davies better known as Vic Mars. It’s from the album From Different Landscapes, which came out yesterday Friday the 1st of May 2026. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. If you can subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help.
Right then… here we go.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 173
27 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.
Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve drifted into. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-three. I’m Trevor, turning the reels in the quiet hours.
We approach this one as always—with the old cassette in mind. Side A first, then the satisfying clunk of the flip midway through. Twenty artists tonight, drawn from the shelves where the quieter signals live. Expect drifts of drone and deep ambient, patches of electroacoustic haze, touches of field-recorded exotica, slow-unfolding modular pulses, and the occasional submerged melody that surfaces like something half-remembered from another room. Places flicker through too: underwater trenches, Los Angeles highways at off-hours, Mediterranean dream coasts, vast starry processions, the interior of mechanical bird boxes, and the soft geometries of winter rooms.
No rush. No hooks to grab you. Only the slow uncoiling of sound.
Side A – 00:00
We begin with Nelson, British Columbia based Codedekay and out of place, from Vol. 9 – The Struggle on (We Are The New Underground) Weatnu Records. A patient unfolding of displaced tones, edges softened by time and repetition.
Then an old pseudonym of the artist Time Rival is Supply Fi who brings Unruly Cascade, taken from Unruly Predation on Triplicate Records who I believe Michael Southard, Time Rivals, Supply Fi’s real name, helped create. Cross-genre currents here—ambient electronics that fold and fracture without ever quite settling. Grab this, it’s a name your price release.
I know we’re all over the Christmas vibe already. But at least here in Sweden the snow lies thick. So here’s Omni Gardens with Winter Wonderland, from the Christmas release on Moon Glyph. Familiar seasonal shapes viewed through gauze, Moog warmth and mellotron drift turning the usual into something hushed and interior.
Now one of the channels favourites with some 90s vibe Lounge. I get a hint of Lemon Jelly wafting through this one. THE GAYE DEVICE offers Argent Echo from Routes. Silvered reflections in electronic form, routes that loop back on themselves with deliberate calm.
This next one is the opening track on my second compilation release. This is Ursula’s Cartridges who submerges us in Mighty Underwater Adventure (UC’s Challenger Deep Remix), from Resonances from the Depths. Dubbed echoes refracted through deep pressure, bubbles rising slow.
Things fall apart now with Dissolved who arrives with Alveolate Minds, Exposure Fields on Mahorka. Grainy, fragmented atmospheres—drone and broken beats meeting in alveolar spaces, porous and breathing.
Belgian artist MICADO gives us An Afternoon Reflection from Mindscapes on Argentinian label Cyclical Dreams. Gentle modular lines catching light, a pause where the day leans back.
Now to help us into the zone is Dormance who closes the first side with Dormance 14, from II on Mahorka. Pure dormancy—Squeaky toys, dub tones, and a spoon in a tumble dryer do half the work.
Flip the tape. Listen for the mechanism.
Opening the B side is channel champion brain, melting, Stephen James Buckley aka, Polypores opens the reverse with The Body Is The Spaceship, Hungry Vortex. The longest track of the episode clocking in at 11:30. Organic electronics as vessel, pulsing inward and outward in equal measure. Get everything Stephen releases and thank me later.
Now a haunting melody of the free by Kilmarth feat. Silly Shadow with A Paradox So Cruel from Cherophobia on Adventurous Music. Paradox held lightly—shadows and light in tender opposition.
Next the shortest track of the episode at 1:36 Elijah Fox drifts through Her Palace from Ambient Works for the Highways of Los Angeles. Highway-side reveries, palace built from exhaust and sunset haze.
Now into the darkness with Autonomаton who present Endless stars procession from Collected Not Lost 2015-2025 Vol. 1 on Mahorka. Dub Drones tracing constellations in slow parade.
Next up Michal Turtle & HOVE with Only Sawdust Remains from Sawdust Dreams. Sawdust as memory material, fragile and aromatic. A pumping beat over tribal vibes.
Friend of the show now and a short one. Not the artist but the track. I have no idea what Dave Clarkson’s height is. Here he conjures Mechanical Bird Box Exotica from The Ghosts of Christmas Past and the Effects on Mental Health on Mortality Tables. Clockwork birds singing through antique mechanisms, exotica tuned to melancholy.
Here’s an adventurous outing by Edward Givens with Rapid Eye Movement (a Dance) from the album, Terra. Dream-state pagan motion, eyes flicking beneath lids.
Here an offering of my own. This is Trevlad with EXPANSIVE WAVES 20 (Airtime Text Reacting) from TVCL-08. Airtime caught in reactive loops—waves folding back on their own transmission.
Now French synth miestro Alex Ringess with the final track And Now Let’s Play This New Game from Asynchronicity. Asynchronous invitation, rules written in delay and overlap.
Next an odd one by Catharæ with In my world from Dreams of the Mediterranéant on Adventurous Music. Mediterranean shores remade as interior landscape, trails tracing the mind.
And now the penultimate piece some deep bass tones from Christian Kleine who brings Slow from the 2025 Label Compilation mixed by Todos on A Strangely Isolated Place. Deliberate tempo, everything given room to breathe.
And now, as the tape nears the end, a few words before the leader. Thanks for staying with it. These programmes aren’t built for playlists or quick consumption, and neither are the ears that find them. Support the artists when you can—buy the music, name their work in quiet corners. It matters more than algorithms admit.
This episode streams free for a week on Mixcloud, links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments. Say something if the mood takes you. Or let the silence hold. Both are welcome.
I leave you with the wonderful Sussex Telecom who signs off with Kendophaz from the 2022 release Creator Warehouse on channel sponsoring Third Kind Records. Phased signals from some coastal telecom exchange, wires humming in the wind.
Until the next wind or the next run-out groove—stay resonant, stay expansive. Let the frequencies find their own way back to you. Cheerio…
