Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 172

24 January 2026

///elbowed.eggs.shady

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-two. I’m Trevor, sifting through the reels once more, turning the dial until something faintly human—or faintly inhuman—comes through.

These cassettes still carry the promise of two sides, a flip in the middle. Twenty artists tonight, drawn from various corners: some from the damp fields of field recording-touched ambient, others from the slow-burn electronics of Glasgow’s Bricolage or whitelabrecs quiet corners, a few from Portland’s soft tape worlds, and further out to the looped, patient rhythms that refuse to hurry.

No rush here. No hooks to grab you by the collar. These are pieces that breathe, that unfold like fog over water, that let time stretch until it forgets its own name.

The Wild Hunt Die Wilde Jagd – Gleiß K – Convenanza – Höganord Rekords
A motorik pulse wrapped in dark-leaning kraut electronics, voices half-buried in the machinery, building without ever quite arriving. So Headphones on, let time dissolve and let the frequencies claim you.

Now one of the shortest entries on the show Ann Annie – lupine – El Prado (Deluxe) – available through Nettwerk label.
Portland piano atmospheres drift in gentle layers, carrying a meditative hush, like rain on greenhouse glass.

blochemy – Eim – Islas Calm Cloud – whitelabrecs. Sorry for the mispronunciation in the last episode.
Minimal tape wonk and electroacoustic patience, tones that hover and slowly modulate, a quiet study in restraint and space.

And now clap along with Nu Era – See Are Seven (Bonus Track) – The Second Circle – Neroli Records
Deep, enveloping electronics with a touch of kosmische drift, layers folding inward, unhurried and expansive.

Next Saya Gray – PUDDLE ( OF ME ) – Saya – Dirty Hit
Intimate, watery textures, voice and instrumentation blurring into something fragile and reflective, almost confessional in its slowness.

Check the reverb on the rimshots. Robohands – Oranj – Oranj – Bastard Jazz Recordings
Wonky Rhodes and guitar-led loops that circle and evolve, warm and understated, letting small repetitions reveal hidden depths over time.

Now panic inducing mud flaps. Sophie Sleigh-Johnson – Chaldean Acts – Nuncio Ref – Crow Versus Crow
Sparse, ritualistic soundscapes, field edges and processed resonances evoking ancient, unspoken acts.

Back to some pop phrasings and a bassist at work Flora Hibberd – Auto Icon – Swirl – self-released
Delicate, swirling arrangements, voice and instrumentation caught in gentle eddies, intimate and quietly hypnotic.

And now a recent mate of the channel brings some pigeons CommsBreakdown – In The Heart Of Spring – Dadtronica Ambientus – self-released
Spring-like modular pulses and soft drones, a sense of renewal threaded through the circuitry. Lovely stuff.

Now to end Side A with a stomping track from one of my fantastic supporting labels Bricolage Black Lupus – Fractal Particles – Paradigm 10 Year Label Sampler – Bricolage Glasgow
Granular electronics from Glasgow, particles scattering and reforming in fractal patterns, precise yet organic.

Tape flip.

The cassette turns. Side B.

Starting off Side B Vancouver based Active Dark Filament – Song for Moritz – (NYP) – Lost Axioms Excerpts – self-released
Dedicated drift, dark ambient threads that pull slowly across an 80s vibe stereo field.

And now for something special from David Soulscorch here as Rural District Lo-Fi Recording Project – Disenchanting. Nice Work If You Can Get It – Jolly Johnny and His Oompahing Oomlahs.
Lo-fi pastoral wanderings, disenchanted yet oddly affectionate, cassette warmth intact. This album made me happy.

Next is from a label I’d love to play more of as they release some of the best sounds out there. Unfortunately I can’t afford to play as much as I’d like and I respect that they won’t send me stuff for free, but every now and then something lands on my decks for which I’m grateful. This is one of those times. Here’s Kayla Painter – Anicca – Tectonic Particles – Quiet Details
Shifting, impermanent textures, tectonic plates of sound moving beneath the surface, calm on top.

And now to the label who has championed the channel for many a year and a release by James Adrian Brown – Generator – Generator – Colin Morrisons Castles in Space
Generator hums and harmonic overtones, a machine dreaming its own slow song.

Speaking of great labels here’s another one worthy of your attention storyinsoil – Spin Glass – Distillation – Ingrown
Glassy, spinning drones, crystalline and distilled, turning in perpetual motion. Release date is set to February 3rd, so go grab a copy.

Now there’s this wonderful Russian artist NDORFIK who I’ve had a bit of contact with over the past few weeks. He’s a great guy and good at promoting his mates here is one of them in Local Gods label curator Alexander Lvov as Man as island – Haikei – AN. This has yet to get an official release date so you are a lucky bunch.
Isolated, island-bound reveries, spacious and solitary, awaiting their proper tide.

Now an oldie I think I discovered through an instagram post by dream.weasel. I recommend you checking her out. This is Andy Stott – Luxury problems – Modern Love
Heavy, dubbed-out pressure, bass weight and smeared atmospheres from the Manchester shadows.

Now my favourite middle eastern groove outfit Sababa 5 – Allô – C A VA C A VA – set for release on Batov records on 20 Feb.
Psychedelic-tinged grooves, loose and sun-bleached.

The penultimate track and another super supporter of the channel. Label curator Harry Towell & Guy Gelem – Esplanade – Islas Calm Cloud – Whitelabrec.
Calm, esplanade-length drones, coastal in feel, minimal and modern classical in poise.

And now, as the tape nears its end, a few words before the leader tape rattles through. Thanks for staying with it. These libraries aren’t built for playlists or algorithms; they’re for the ones who still turn the dial by hand. Support the artists if any of this lodged somewhere inside you—buy the tapes, the files, the vinyl where it exists. Whisper their names when the room is quiet. It matters.
This episode streams on Mixcloud for a short while, links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments below. Say something if the mood takes you. Or say nothing. Silence has its own frequency.
The final piece is the shortest of the episode but is a gem by Kure – Moon Acid – Another from Paradigm 10 Year Label Sampler – on Glasgows finest Bricolage label.
Acid-touched moonlit electronics, another Glasgow echo, warped and lunar.
Until the next reel spins—stay resonant, stay adrift.

///tactical.flagged.happen

“Greetings all. Episode one-five-two of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Tactical Flagged Happen. That’s the track you hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—it’s up on YouTube if you’re curious.
I’m Trevor. Ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. In this episode you’ll hear Dude, Finn Rees, Cognition Delay on Mahorka, elders from Driftworks, and Warmth on Archives. Later, The Black Dog, Hélène Vogelsinger, Sven Wunder, and my own track Plank Glides Enigma drift through the mix. Everyday Dust, Ndorfik, and Gollden on Imaginary North carry us into the B side.
Labels orbiting here include Neo Ouija, Leaving Records, and Intellitronic Bubble. Styles range from ambient and IDM to vaporwave, kosmische, and spiritual jazz. These transmissions stretch across places—Melbourne, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and Sheffield—woven into the resonance of the library.
The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre‑order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. Every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”

Evening all. Episode one-four-nine of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Window Invented Drain. That’s the track you can hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—it’s up on YouTube if you’re curious.
I’m Trevor. Ninety minutes here, two virtual sides, forty-five minutes each. Fifteen tracks per set. No chatter, no interruptions. The music rolls on like a festival stage that turns—one act fading, another coming into view.
Tonight you’ll hear an exclusive from Paul Beaudoin with Ümlaut. Also music from Bruno Bavota, Wil Bolton, and a track that has disappeared from a release by The Form Group. Later on, another exclusive from Foster Neville. Rival Consoles, Erik Wøllo, and dogs versus shadows are in the mix. Plus a track by zerosummer which I can’t seem to locate—drop a comment if you know. Labels like whitelabrecs, Mahorka, and Third Kind Records are part of the current orbit, each one feeding into this library of sound.
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.
