Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 307
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Tips and subscriptions keep the reels turning. Every little helps the library stay open after dark.
A late-summer, slightly haunted ambient journey through holiday kickoff, last dances, and worlds still demon-haunted.
Side A opens with Sally’s dream-pop song, then sits suburban and cooked, wishes it was fishing, takes the last summer dance, lands on the rocks, and drifts beatless through rare-earth motherboards. Side B learns 1980s Japanese technopop, walks an empty park of guitar and sarod, mixes 90s creators for the co-op, keeps things simple in Portuguese ambient, lights Sagan’s candles, and ends in submerged industry.
Overall mood: Warm, watery, and quietly uncanny — full of Passed Oceans, festival stems, and analog jewels after the flip. Perfect for autumn evenings, Krankenhaus afterglow, or sitting with the last dance while the next spool still waits.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
The tape unspools its visions.

///union.nurture.roaring.
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 141 of The Virtual Cassette Library.
Union Nurture Roaring is the episodes subtitle, as well as the track you’re hearing in the background and it’s geographical location which I’ve filmed and can be experienced on YouTube.
I’m Trevor and I curate these 90-minute genre bending drifts through frequencies from around the globe. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion. Two, 45 minute mixes, 15 tracks per set with a side change half way.
Picture the listening experience like being at a music festival where the artists play on a rotating stage. Each act is allotted time for their piece and as it ends the next act takes over rotating into view.
Styles for this episode range from ambient to post-rock, from eurorack modular to folk. The musical keys in focus are D sharp E flat and A sharp minor, B flat minor.
This episode contains some household names like Roedelius, and Nils Frahm. Some friends of the channel like Claude Lavender, Stone Anthem and Gelbart as well as some supporting labels like 4000 Records, Third Kind Records, Cyclical Dreams, Castles In Space, Mystery Circles and many more. All the artists and labels are the soul of this show.
If you’d like to be included on future episodes send your art to trevlad@gmail.com. Links to all the tracks are illuminated at trevor.se and marked in each episode’s Mixcloud timeline.
Pre-order the 7th TVCL album on Bandcamp. It drops when we hit 16 tracks. Also you can now grab the first compilation album Murmurs in the Mist with 45 artists. Subscribe and unlock 874 archived shows.
