Soft emerald light filters through a hidden cave entrance, illuminating dripping stalactites that gleam like wet crystals. Shadows shift gently across moss-covered stone walls as faint ripples spread across a shallow turquoise pool. Pale vines curl downward, touching the water’s surface, while distant echoes suggest unseen chambers opening further in.
00:02:54 marine eyes – suddenly green (from the album to belong) Past Inside the Present. Early morning fog lifts from rolling hills, revealing fresh blades of grass sparkling with dew under a pale sky. Sunlight breaks through in soft patches, turning the landscape a vivid, almost luminous shade of spring green. Distant wildflowers sway lightly, and the air feels newly alive with quiet renewal.
00:05:50 IKSRE – Granite (from the album Solar Return: Golden Hour Mix) Imaginary North. Ancient rock faces rise stark against a vast, open sky at dusk, their rough surfaces etched with veins of quartz that catch fading golden light.

Mist rises from the sea, blending with soft purple hues in the sky, and small stones shift underfoot, marking a deliberate yet wandering rhythm.
00:15:24 glo – kenóō (from the album associated with experimental/ambient contexts, often standalone or mix-featured) Empty temple halls stretch into dim distance, lit only by faint lanterns casting long shadows on wooden floors. Incense smoke curls lazily upward, dissolving into stillness, while subtle echoes of distant chimes linger in vast, open space.
00:21:22 Sachi Kobayashi – Healing (from the album Weathervane) Stereoscenic Records. Gentle sunlight filters through a canopy of leaves in a quiet forest clearing, dappling the ground with moving patterns of gold. A soft wind stirs wild grasses and small white flowers, carrying a sense of calm restoration that spreads outward like slow-spreading warmth.
00:24:31 Amorphous Androgynous – Meadows (from the album associated with their ambient/electronic works, often A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble series context) Wide open fields stretch under a vast blue sky, dotted with clusters of wildflowers swaying in a warm breeze.

00:30:09 Pogo – Alice (Extended) (from the album Broken Beats & Magic Snacks or extended rework context) Vibrant cartoon woodlands come alive with swirling colors: oversized mushrooms glow in neon pinks and blues, teacups float mid-air, and checkerboard paths twist into impossible loops. Madcap elements whirl together in playful, accelerating chaos.
00:33:13 Emily A. Sprague – Horizon (from the album Mount Vision) RVNG Intl. A flat, endless ocean meets a pale sky at dawn, with thin layers of pastel clouds drifting low. Subtle waves lap forward, reflecting soft rose and lavender tones that gradually brighten, holding a meditative line of infinite calm.
00:39:13 Scott Gilmore – Subtle Vertigo (from the album Subtle Vertigo) Spiraling staircases ascend into misty heights within an old tower, their steps worn smooth and bathed in diffused light from narrow windows. Shadows curve along curved walls, inducing a gentle, disorienting pull upward.
00:43:35 Cate Brooks – Curig (from the album Horizons or related Ghost Box-inspired works) Rolling Welsh hills under overcast skies, with ancient stone walls dividing emerald fields. Sheep graze quietly, and faint mist clings to distant ridges, evoking rural solitude and timeless pastoral quiet.
00:48:38 Tim Shiel – Between Ends (feat. Lonelyspeck) (from the album Glowing Pains: Music From The Gardens Between) Spirit Level Twilight bridges connect shadowy urban fragments, suspended over dark water where city lights reflect in fractured lines. Echoing vocal fragments drift across the scene, marking a liminal space of transition and unresolved emotion.
00:50:09 Dean Honer, Supreme Vagabond Craftsman – I Saw The Frogman (from the album Frogman) A surreal pond at midnight, illuminated by moonlight: a humanoid figure with frog-like features emerges halfway from the water, wearing an old coat, staring curiously.

00:53:11 Hong Kong In The 60s – Disintegration, The Advisory Circle Reshape (from the album Disintegration or reshape series) Old film reels flicker with decaying 1960s Hong Kong street scenes: neon signs buzz and blur, crowds dissolve into grainy static, and colors bleed outward in slow analog decay, reshaped into haunting nostalgia.
00:56:08 Anita Tatlow – in hallowed spaces (from the album the farthest star) slow echo. Sunlight streams through tall arched windows in an empty cathedral, illuminating dust motes dancing in golden beams. Stone pillars rise into shadow, and faint reverb carries the sense of sacred, resonant emptiness.
00:59:34 Lisa Bella Donna – Big Briar Cove (from the album *Moogmentum (Presented by the Bob Moog Foundation) *) Thick briar thickets encircle a hidden cove along a rugged coastline, where tangled vines climb over weathered rocks.

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 managed to carve out for yourself. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-one. I’m Trevor, speaking to you from the other side of the tape head, where the oxide still clings and the hiss is part of the charm.
We find ourselves on the twenty-third of January, two thousand and twenty-six, with a programme assembled in the spirit of those old C90s that used to stretch evenings without apology. Two sides, as ever. A gentle flip midway through. Twenty artists in total, no more, no less. The music wanders through ambient drifts that evoke Norwegian fjords and calm clouds over islands, psychedelic excursions rooted in Tokyo’s lost forests, motorik pulses, industrial jazz fragments, electroacoustic meditations, desolate plains of techno shadow, and transmissions that feel beamed from some parallel broadcast tower.
No rush here. The pieces breathe. Some stretch beyond the usual borders. If you’re in a hurry, the dial is yours to turn. Otherwise, stay. Let the kettle whistle its own tune. Let the room settle around you.
We open with the first of five exclusive tracks for the episode. This one from Revbjelde and the piece Non Chion – from that Extracellular promo CD on Buried Treasure. Berkshire’s particular strain of industrial jazz psych motorik folk, with guests adding their edges; here it’s a slow uncoiling, fragments of voice and rhythm that feel unearthed from some forgotten field recording.
Next, WEALDHAM with Spectral Points – self-released on Bandcamp. Ghostly electronics, lo-fi edges meeting something almost jazzy and indie, spectral in the truest sense, points of light flickering in the undergrowth.
Then Harry Towell aka Glåsbird, Kaldsår – from the Islas Calm Cloud compilation on Whitelabrecs. Modern classical ambient, electroacoustic, a frozen landscape thawing very slowly, evoking those northern Scandinavian waters and quiet inlets.
Next a new artist for me. Kikagaku Moyo with Kodama – from Forest of Lost Children on Guruguru Brain. Tokyo psychedelic rock, acid folk with raga undertows and krautrock momentum; this one carries the weight of ancient trees and childlike discovery, hypnotic and unhurried.
Then German artist, Tobias Lorsbach, aka, Logic Moon, Under The Blue – also from Islas Calm Cloud on Whitelabrecs. Deep, patient ambient layers, blue horizons stretching out, calm as the title suggests.
Now the amazing Dennis Huddleston, or, 36 as you probably know him, with Imagine The Truth – from Threewave on Past Inside The Present. Vast, immersive drone and ambient textures, truth imagined in slow-motion swells.
Now Tim Gilbert, as, Fields of Few, with a short entry, Northern Light Fading – from Sines Signals on Triplicate Records. Fading auroral glows translated into electronic signals, northern skies captured in synth and reverb.
Next the second of five exclusives from Saratoga Springs based David Aimone, Formless Statement – from Eulogy for an American Dream. Dropping on the 20 February via channel favourite label Passed Recordings. A eulogy delivered in abstract, formless shapes, poignant and drifting.
Here is another short one and an exclusive from Dolly Dolly & Fogroom with Clock Tower – again from that Extracellular promo on Buried Treasure. Avant-garde abstraction, perhaps clockwork mechanics wound down to a whisper, hip-swinging in strange time. This will be a vinyl launch will be at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, Reading, Berks. On Sat 28th Feb – 7.30pm to 11pm. Get you tickets now.
UK based, Martin Archer led jazz collective, Orchestra Of The Upper Atmosphere, and the fourth exclusive in the form of, Moonride – from their up coming release on Discus Music. Due out 30th January. Cosmic jazz orbits, upper atmosphere drifts where melody and improvisation meet the void.
And now another channel champion in the form of Bucla easel star Giulio Fontana known as, Ogle, Walking Robots – from Dystopian Leisure on Mahorka. Robotic gait in a leisure dystopia, electronic pulses that walk with mechanical melancholy.
Here’s one of my all time top artists. Finlands finest, Jimi Tenor Band, Shine All Night featuring Florence Adooni – from the Bureau B 2025 compilation on Bureau B. Afro-futurist grooves, shining through the night with soulful brass and voices.
Now the final track before the flip from the wonderful Polish artist, Wojciech Golczewski, Transmission 21 – from End of Transmission 3 on French label Data Airlines. Synth transmissions, data streams ending in quiet dissolution.
Opening the B side is the second Bucla artist and amazing Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, I Miss The Way You Swim – from Thoughts on the Future on a couple of places. One of them being the Nettwerk label. Buchla explorations, missing the fluid motion, modular sighs and swells.
Now we head th New Zealand and, Liam Todd, as, ZHERAV, NAJA – from Naja Bazaar on London legends Batov Records. Bazaar echoes, middle eastern motifs twisted into contemporary electronic forms.
Now Toronto-based, Jordan Czamanski or, Jordan GCZ, I Said What I Said – from The Second Circle compilation on Italian label Neroli Records. Direct, unapologetic house rhythms, spoken truths over the beat.
Next Oslo based, Mikkel Haraldstad, better known as, Mikkel Rev, Desolate Plains – from the 2025 label compilation mixed by todos, on A Strangely Isolated Place. Wide, empty landscapes in techno guise, desolate yet compelling.
And now Portland based label curator Eric Angelo Bessel, Double Helix – from Mirror at Night on his Lore City Music label. Spiralling structures, night mirrors reflecting genetic twists in sound.
The penultimate track of episode 171 comes from Russian artist Aleksander Tochilkin who we know as Koett, Lost Time – from Lost Time pre-release, which is an odd title for an EP that was released in 2013 on Dutch label Atomnation. Time slipping away, recaptured in melancholic electronic memory.
And finally on the episode I present to you, the fifth exclusive from Isle of Lewis based, Ali Murray or The Lonely Bell, Elsewhere – from his upcoming release Time Lost. Preorder on the Oscaron label from the 30 January. Tones ringing from somewhere distant, elsewhere indeed. And as the reels slow and the tape begins to slacken, a few words before the silence returns. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for playlists or quick scrolls. They’re for those who still let music occupy real time. Support the artists where you can – Bandcamp pages, labels, whatever small act keeps the chain intact. Whisper their names if you like; the void listens sometimes. This episode streams on Mixcloud, free for a week as usual. Links, credits, the full tracklist – all at trevor.se and in the comments. Say something there if the mood takes you. Or say nothing. Either way suits. Until the next time the cassette turns over – stay resonant. Here is The Lonely Bell, Elsewhere, cheerio…

Good evening, or morning, or whatever sliver of the clock you’ve managed to carve out for yourself. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy. I’m Trevor, pulling another virtual tape from the imaginary shelf, blowing off the fantasy dust, and sliding it into the dreamed up deck. Cassette tapes have two sides, of course. We’ll play through Side A, then flip it—virtually, mind you—and carry on with Side B. Twenty artists tonight, drawn from various corners, various decades in some cases, but all of them worth the time. No rush. The show runs as long as the tape does. Styles drift across ambient swells from northern latitudes, submerged electronics that sound like sonar pings in forgotten wrecks, sparse house pulses, field-recorded quietudes, kinetic experiments, and a few moments of outright joyful confusion. Places echo through too: underwater depths around the MV Creteblock, Japanese winter clear skies in fuyubare which is Japanese and means just that, clear winter skies. We have snow-covered expanses in Stella Rossa territory, and various abstracted laboratories of sleep and decryption. Side A kicks off with Berlin based, Metric System 1981 – Diffusion – Solar Return: Gollden Hour Mix – out on Toronto based ambient label – Imaginary North. A slow unfurling of synthetic haze, layers peeling back like morning mist over still water. Patient, golden-hour glow without the need for resolution. Don’t be fooled by this chilled opening Now we ramp up the party with Oh Mr James – The Acid Riddle – Extracellular Gig Ticket Promo CD I’ve been ranting about on the past couple of episodes – Buried Treasure. Acid lines twist through a riddle of percussion and odd vocal fragments. Something peculiar and insistent lurks here, half-buried in the mix. Taking us back down now, to a much darker place is Warmfield – Wreck of the MV Creteblock – Resonances from the Depths – Which is my own compilation album released on the Trevlad Bandcamp page. Pick it up for a buck. It’s got 24 Stellar artists. And a reminder to get your entries in for the next compilation dropping at the end of March. Deep submersion piece, creaking hulls and distant bubbles. Feels like listening from inside a sunken freighter somewhere in cold northern seas. Warmfield with Wreck of the MV Creteblock Now we’re entering Electro world with Revok – No Reflection – Mirror – A digital Bandcamp self release. Mirrors without reflections: stark, echoing electronics that fold in on themselves. Minimal surfaces, maximum unease. Over we drift to Lawrence – Spark – Spark EP – Ghostly International, which dropped way back in 2004. A gentle house flicker, warm and understated. Spark as in ignition, but slow-burning, Detroit lineage felt in the restraint. And now an absolute belter. This will have you on your feet in no time. In fact I featured it on my new series called Alone on the dance floor along with that Revok piece I played earlier. This is Baxter Dury – with the title track from the album Allbarone – Out on London based Heavenly Recordings. Spoken-edged narratives over loose grooves. Pub philosophy meets off-kilter funk, delivered deadpan. Shuffling up the genres again now. So how about some psych-surf rock? This is The Hamiltones – Suit Up – In Space – A name your price release on Buffalo, New York based Swimming Faith Records. Cosmic soul strut, horns and tight rhythms lifting off into orbit. Feels like getting dressed for a mission beyond the atmosphere. Now for some super fresh Electro stabs from SubDan – You – Moments of Joy – Out on Nottingham, UK based Remnants records. Quiet joy in electronic form, soft pads and subtle shifts. A moment caught and held. Now some gorgeous IDM from Djrum – Waxcap – Under Tangled Silence – Out on London label Houndstooth. Mycelial rhythms, fungal growth in sound. Percussion that breathes, field recordings woven into the undergrowth. The penultimate track of the A side brings the bliss with Luis Miehlich – 冬晴 (Fuyubare) – Verses – Out on the Dewtone label. Winter clear sky translated to tones: crystalline, open space, Japanese seasonal precision in ambient form. We end the A side in field recording teratory Lorebound – Tales of Decryption – AvRPG – Available on South Korean label Prekursor Encrypted narratives unlocked layer by layer. RPG ambience with cryptic melodies emerging from static.
B Side
We open with some pretty wild jazz from Ljubljana, Slovenia based Etceteral – Minus – Kimatika – Out on Glitterbeat Records. Subtraction as composition: negative space filled with sparse tones and distant pulses. Next an old favorite of mine in the form of Benge – Five Fifty Eight – Orgoustic Plus 30. Modular drift, clockwork precision meeting organic warmth. Time marked in subtle increments. Now Tom Bragl – Tidal Force – Pielesh – Out on name your price Finnish label Kahvi Collective Gravitational pull in electronic waves, tides rising slow and inevitable. Next up Alexander Caminada aka Phonosonic – The Drifting Quiet – Sleeplaboratory60 – Whitelabrecs. Quiet that drifts rather than settles. Field recordings and gentle drones in a sleep lab haze. I’ve played a lot from this compilation so go grab it on whitelabrecs. While we’re on this record let’s take another dip with Tides – Light Veils – Veils of light over water, translucent layers shimmering. Companion piece feel, same whitelabs stillness. Now we head back to Buried treasure and that amazing Extracellular exclusive this time from Gong Girl – Kinetic Kinetic Kinetic – Extracellular Gig Ticket Promo CD. Kinetic energy in perpetual motion, circling without landing. So what’s missing from the episode? Ah, flutes and xylophones I hear you cry. Well I’ve got you covered. Not me personally but Dual Dialect – Conglomerate III – Meme-leak Mosaic – Conglomerate EP – out on Aussie label 4000 records. Mosaic of leaking fragments, dialect collisions in glitch and rhythm. Chaotic assembly. Lovely stuff there from Dual Dialect. Now to the penultimate track of episode 170 from mate of the channel. Simon Heartfield – Across The Snow – Stella Rossa – all live hardware stuff zero computers. Featuring a vocal samples by Isle of Wight artist Roberta Fidora. Snowfield traversal: cold expanse, distant horizons in melodic ambient strokes. To end this episode we bliss out with two artists I’ve played in previous outings but not together. Well here they are. Anita Tatlow & Runaway Horses – with the opening piece from their 5 track EP – The Shore from Above – The his is – confused and happy – out on Echoes Blue Music. Shoreline vantage, happiness tangled with confusion. Voices and strings adrift on the edge. Outro – And then the tape will wind to the end. Thanks for staying with it. These selections aren’t chasing trends or filling slots—they’re simply pieces I wanted to hear in sequence. Support the artists where you can: Bandcamp pages, physical releases if they exist, or at least send a whisper of appreciation their way. It all travels further than you think. This episode streams on Mixcloud for a short while, links and full credits at trevor.se, comments open if anything strikes you. Or stay quiet. Quiet has its own frequency.

“Hello, I’m Trevor, and this is episode one‑six‑two of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Mugs Softest Owners—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. Before we begin, a very warm Happy New Year to you. Whether you’re listening on a walk, in the quiet of the early hours, or hiding from the world with a pair of headphones, I hope 2026 brings you peace, curiosity, and a few unexpected sonic discoveries. 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. And a quick note: the tracks by Simon McCorry and Gregory Paul Mineeff in this episode are exclusives from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation sleeplaboratory6.0. Apologies to Harry for playing so many pieces from this wonderful release, which drops tomorrow, the 2nd of January. When something’s good, it’s hard not to share it. 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 rest of the show wanders through kosmische corners, microtonal detours, lullabies, croquettes, mythology, therapy, vortexes, and the occasional snow‑dusted memory. 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.”
