Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 164
7 January 2026

Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Hello, Trevor here, and this is episode one‑six‑four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Retain Happier Obeyed—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words.
We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun.
On the A side there’s an exclusive by Foster Neville titled, Mow Cop, from the album, Through Lands Of Ghosts. Dropping on the 16th of January via Subexotic Records.
On the B side there’s a sort of exclusive by Hendekagon. Who’ve done a magical soundtrack to accompany the book Die Verschiebung der Zeit (The shift in time) by Corina Retzlaff out on Adventurous Music.
Also the track, Magical Interval, by John Haughey & Tarotplane is from their up coming Woodford Halse release called, WF 98 – Errata.
Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right.
The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it.
So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 148
27 November 2025

“Evening all. Episode one-four-eight of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Cook Hobble Recruited. That’s the track you can hear underneath, and, oddly enough, it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—up on YouTube if you’re curious.”
“I’m Trevor. Bringing you ninety minutes, two virtual sides, forty-five minutes each. Fifteen tracks per set. No chatter, no interruptions. Just the music, rolling on like a festival stage that turns—one act fading, another coming into view.” This episode has an exclusive track Karesansui by Wellington, New Zealand based artist CZiGO. Karesansui means “dry landscape” or “dry mountain water” and refers to a minimalist style of Japanese garden that uses rocks, gravel, and sand to represent natural landscapes like mountains, islands, and rivers without any water. These gardens, often found in Zen Buddhist temples, are designed for contemplation and meditation, symbolizing natural elements through careful arrangement and raked gravel patterns that mimic water. Karesansui is from the upcoming album Techno Feudal which drops December 12 on Machine Records.
” New friends joining us this episode like, Übung, Elastic colors, WarpCensor and Dissociative Identity Quartet. Also familiar names including, Future Children, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan, Robert Rich, and, Oceanographer. Labels like Cyclical Dreams, Mahorka, I Low You Records, Astra Solaria Recordings, Buried Treasure, Adventurous Music, Imaginary North, Castles in Space and more keeping the whole thing alive. They’re the soul of the show, really.”
“If you’d like to be part of these missions, send your work to trevlad@gmail.com. Track links are at trevor.se, and marked in the Mixcloud timeline. The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre-order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks.
