Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 265. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If you make music, or are a label, 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. Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps. A buoyant, mystical, and exploratory ambient journey through waters, secrets, astral chaos, and mythical islands. Side A bobs from playful buoys and secret gardens into opening transformations and riverine flows. Side B plunges into black holes, astral disasters, fuzzy warmth, lost islands, and skyway travels. Overall mood: Contemplative, whimsical, and wondrous with a mix of cosy warmth and cosmic mystery. Perfect for deep listening, nature connection, or late-night immersion. I’ll introduce Side A now and Side B in the intermission. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 1 087 other shows whenever they like. As a subscriber you also get access to my new series Veil Frequencies based on a fictional world I’ve created called The Resonant Veil Enclave. Each episode is around three hours and recorded from one of the floors of the 24 buildings in the veil. You can read about it on my Substack page. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures. On this TVCL episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Michael Evill who a lot of us know as Shambolic and here in his moniker of “The Music Liberation Front Sweden” with the wonderfully personal track “Edward’s Secret Garden” from the album “This Is The New Record By…” which is available on the Mortality Tables label which I’ll be playing more from in the show. Another label I’ll be playing a couple of tunes from is a favourite of mine. Mystery Circles, here with the Berlin artist arc rae and a piece titled “Lo and Behold” from the album “Bow and Arrow”. After that a spanking new release by Rennes, France based artist Wahn. and the track “Something Opens (Genda Remix)” from the album “Re: Echo Mist Light”. Out on another label who features a couple of times in this episode and in most of my shows. Bulgarias finest, Ivo Petrov curated, Mahorka label.

Finishing off the first half is a track from the album “Aurora In Georgian Bay” by Chris Moore aka Light Vortex. You’ll hear the track “Riverine”. You can still get a CD copy via the Mortality Tables label. But first, to set the vibe is Toronto, Ontario based R&D with the live improvised piece titled “Bobbing for Buoys” from their self released outing “Periscope Depth”. Now settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. One side flip, just the music.

Finishing us off is Buffalo, New York based legend Survey Channel and the track “Via Skyway” from the remastered version of his fantastic release “Along the Wind Spear” available in a few places like Triplicate records and Rabbithole Club.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 262. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If you make music, or are a label, 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. Please leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps. A mystical, quirky, and emotionally varied ambient journey through alchemy, jungles, societal decay, and warrior cries. Side A moves from occult geometry and evening bonsoirs into fragile qualia, jungle scans, and solipsistic isolation. Side B shifts through tungsten pillows, multiple ways, lonely days, crying warriors, and fried naptime whimsy. Overall mood: Atmospheric, contemplative, and eccentric with a mix of dark mystery, gentle warmth, and playful chaos. Perfect for late-night immersion, reflective listening, or adventurous evenings. I’ll do all the talking now, in the intro, as I’ve put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. There is just one break halfway through to give the “virtual cassette” title a meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 262 episodes plus the 826 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for 3 quid.

Each episode is around three hours and recorded from one of the floors from the 24 buildings in the veil.

Also on this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Paris, France based modular artist Aurel Val in the rather housey track “Bonsoir” from the latest release on Hylé Tapes titled Mods-1. Then I’ve dived into the crates a bit with a 2020 track by Glasgow based Fragile X and the track “Qualia” from a fantastic Trip FM compilation called “Red Shift”. It also appears on the Fragile X album Hive. After that another Hylé Tapes release this time from the 2024 album Biodiverse by Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster.

This leads into some trip hop stylings from a Protuberance remix of the Discknocked feat. Montse track “Lonely day” taken from the 2014 album Recollections also out on Mahorka. We continue with another piece from this great album, the super chilled beat driven Protuberance track “Crying Warrior”.

But first, to set the vibe is a friend of the show from Bristol, UK, James McKeown aka Hawksmoor with a Teenage Engineering medieval folksy new creation from the album “Yclept Thorn” this is the track “Trismosin”. Now settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. One side flip, just the music.

This episode includes 3 exclusive tracks that you’ll probably only hear here before they are officially released. On the A side we have Hendekagon – Die Zeitzeit accompanies Die Verschiebung der Zeit, a German-language book of 22 humorous and philosophical essays by Corina Retzlaff exploring the concept of time. The volume is enriched with abstract artwork by Francis Théberge and an exclusive soundtrack by Hendekagon that echoes and expands the themes of the text. Released by Adventurous Music, a non-profit label based in Leipzig, this 108-page book is printed on recycled paper with climate-neutral methods. The included soundtrack adds a surreal sonic dimension to the reflective, often playful explorations of temporality. This is more than a book or an album—it’s a multimedia meditation on how we perceive and experience time, through words, images, and sound. Also on the A side. Supporter, subscriber and true friend of the show Gareth Evans also known as HDRF or Horror Dwarf sent me the track Memories of Dust which will appear on a desert themed compilation, out next month on the Aural Films label. The label that makes soundtracks for movies that do not exist. On the B Side there is an exclusive from Julia Gjertsen & Gustav Davidsson – Into The Rain – from the album – Wandering Mind, Drifting Weather, a meditative ambient collaboration between Norwegian pianist Julia Gjertsen and Swedish trombonist Gustav Davidsson. Created through a slow, cross-border exchange of musical sketches, the album blends expressive piano and atmospheric trombone into a series of compositions that evoke the passing moods of nature—shifting light, soft breezes, and drifting weather fronts. Rooted in classical training but embracing improvisation, the duo sculpt an intimate soundworld where melody and spontaneity coexist. Minimal electronics, Wurlitzer tones, and quiet pads enhance the organic interplay, while each piece captures the fleeting beauty of a moment. The result is a tranquil yet emotionally resonant suite that explores time, mood, and natural transformation—where weather becomes metaphor and sound becomes sanctuary. Coming out on Whitelabrecs on the 19 July.

Here’s a not so original idea for a show, but us nerdy radio profiles get a lot of music through our channels. Quite a bit of it is long form which is not so suited for radio shows. It takes up too much time which means they get left unplayed. I know DJ Space Terrapin hosts Continental Drift but why should he have all the fun? Here’s my version. 8 tracks that have to be at least 12 minutes long. For how ever long that takes. In this episode that being over 2 and a half hours.
