A place to let loose. A short break from the ambience that usually dominated the channel.
Back with another outing of Alone on the Dance Floor.
This series comes out whenever I can make the time to create them. Like all my shows. I am not affiliated with any station and do not get paid for this work. I rely entirely on labels and artists sending me material, an unquenchable thirst for sharing great sounds, a handful of Mixcloud subscribers and a few sales from Bandcamp.
Sometimes you just need to go on a psychedelic trip.
Quick mix for the massless. Featuring: The Advisory Circle, Cate Francesca Brooks, Julian Lynch, Memoryhouse, Bit Cloudy, Fran Carlyon, Oneohtrix Point Never, The Zombies, Grand Veymont, Nico Georis, El Michels Affair, Bobby Oroza, Fantastikoi Hxoi, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard,Yu Su, Future Children, Aldous Harding, Bluetech, Mark McGuire, IKONS, Manfred Mann, Polypores, Khruangbin.
Hey everyone… Trevor here, welcome. I’ve always wanted to be a café DJ — you know, the kind who reads the room, feels the energy, and lets the music flow with whatever vibe the people bring in that day. Life took me down so many beautiful roads, but this particular dream… well, it’s still waiting to come true. So today, I’m bringing a little piece of that dream right here for you. This is my series of café and lounge-flavoured sounds — smooth, soulful grooves made for chilling, for unwinding, for good conversations and even better silences. Whether you’re sipping coffee, working on your laptop, curled up on the couch, or just needing a moment to breathe… Let these tracks wrap around you like warm sunlight through the café window. You’re listening to Trev’s Virtual Café. Pull up a seat… and let’s chill.
