Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 282
www.mixcloud.com/djsofabed/tvcl-282/
Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 282. 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.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,111 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.
A reflective, slightly melancholic ambient journey through vanishing places, last forests, and hovering resonances.
Side A opens in dense brainforests and soft sanctuaries, then blooms through disk errors, chosen confusion, Tokyo pavilions, and tired roads halfway from nowhere. Side B drifts into possible villages, orbital last forests, electric roads of trials, chalk coastal paths, invisible hovering worlds, and ends in the hazed industrial interzone of Motor City.
Overall mood: Contemplative, atmospheric, and quietly expansive — full of soft disappearances, preserved light, and gentle forward motion. Perfect for deep listening, late-night reflection, or drifting through imagined landscapes.
The tape unspools its visions.
Woodwind and spidery guitars open a dense forest of homemade percussion. Polypores – Seeing Absolutely Everything, Then Never Seeing It Again. Tenor recorder, piano, drums and kalimba rise into insectile textures and weaving repetitive melodies. The Brainforest expands in childlike layered motion, every surface alive with loose and slack exploration.
Sanctuary forms in swirling so-longs and dreamy murmured goodbyes. Halftribe – Sanctuary. Immersive tones drift through quiet open space, the field settling into soft reflective presence.
A disk error blooms into luminous data patterns. maps and diagrams – bloom.Solr- X a.41 [disk.err]. Signal fragments rearrange across open digital ground, each one expanding into new radiant forms.
Confusion gathers around a chosen image. Suncastle – Confusion. Sonic colours rise to meet the visual surface, opening into shared imaginative light.
A pavilion stands inside the sleeping Cityfield of Tokyo. Ryu Oshi – Denizen 3 — Pavilion. Offerings of orange light drift from a moving train window. Kami presence expands through electric piano and synthesizer duets, the urban subconscious glowing in mutual respect.
Tired tires roll across an unknown road of blurred memories. Far away Nebraska – And so it begins…. Ringing fills the open air while a storm moves through the mind. Halfway from nowhere the landscape stretches forward in steady motion.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
A village appears in quiet mirror light where realities fade into new truths. Nahal Kavand – The village where I might have lived one day. Field recordings from Tehran rise through heavy processing into thin layered soundscapes. Disappearances and vanishings open across the surface, time echoing deep within existence.
The last forests of Earth drift through silent orbital chambers. vOLKER rAPP – The last forests of Earth. ARP 2600 and SEM tones expand across vast greenhouse domes. The landscape holds the soft glow of preserved green light moving through space.
A road of trials opens in electric layered motion. Whettman Chelmets – Road of Trials (Electric Mix). Shoegaze ambient textures rise into wide reflective fields, the path expanding in luminous presence.
Beachy Head rises along the foot of the Downs under muted Ravilious colours. Gilroy Mere – Beachy Head. Train windows carry undulating textures, tempos and modulations. Clarinet, trumpet, flute and voice drift through chalk paths and coastal light, crystallizing into open sonic form.
Hovering resonance maps an invisible world drawn in wind and granular synthesis. Philippe Deschamps, The Goodnight Project – The Hovering Resonance. Organic drones and drifting textures expand across distant melodies, opening the boundaries of the ephemeral.
Motor City opens in dusty drum machinery and heavy echo. Sand Circles – Entering Motor City. Analog synths and derelict metropolis atmospheres rise through white sand, downtown haze and distant lights. The interzone expands in hazed industrial reverie.
The visions complete their circle.
The oxide continues its quiet journey until the end of the spool.
Also in the works: the next compilation, Quiet Figures, release date 26 September.
Uncover the narratives whispered by the silent, ever-present figures that shadow us, through compositions that unravel their hidden mysteries.
Does that stir anything?

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 281. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
A quiet, luminous ambient journey through fog, silence, emergence, and dual light.
Side A drifts from museum fog and deep indigo silence into larval longing, early string tones, perpetual candle mornings, and distant postcard transmissions. Side B opens across bonnie banks and underwater echolocation into temple soundscapes, interplanetary stillness, dismal radiance, and mirrored dual forms.
Overall mood: Contemplative, tender, and gently expansive — full of soft emergence, reflective depth, and quiet shared presence. Perfect for deep listening, early mornings, or peaceful solitude.
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.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,108 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.
Fog drifts in thick luminous layers across open museum halls. Simon Cacheux – Fog. Field recordings and synthesized tones rise with shakuhachi breath and cymbal resonance. The entire landscape holds the quiet presence of an event already unfolding, the air filled with contemplative motion.
Silence expands through deep indigo space. Euan Alexander Millar-McMeeken & Henrik Meierkord – Silence In The Dark. Cello tones stretch into long translucent ribbons while spoken words dissolve into the surrounding drones. Texture and language move together in measured waves, the whole field opening into reflective presence.
Larval forms glow in soft emerging light. Florigenix – larval longing. Ambient and experimental tones sculpt the open spaces between notes into a melodic tapestry. Shared sonic connections rise in serene sequential layers, each one expanding the quiet field of reflection.
A single tone unfolds across violin and viola strings. Aki Yli-Salomäki & Kreeta-Julia Heikkilä – Liian varhain. Subtle synthesizer textures rise around the layered strings in slow structures. Resonance and timbre move in quiet dialogue, the entire space holding acoustic closeness and gentle emergence.
Perpetual mornings open in soft candle-coloured light. Spirituals – Perpetual Mornings. Pedal steel and acoustic guitars drift with analog and virtual synths, vibraphone, cymbals, percussion, voice memos and field recordings. Each spontaneous composition rises as a glowing candle through the open air.
A postcard arrives carrying distant guitar tones and field-recorded air. Oberlin – Postcard #4. A Fernandes Telecaster voice moves through open landscape sounds recorded in May light, the whole surface expanding in quiet transmission.
The cassette reaches its midpoint and turns.
Bonnie banks stretch under soft folk-derived ambient skies. Arboresque – The Bonnie Banks. Traditional ballad imagery opens into new sonic forms. The entire field rises as a tribute landscape of shared creation flowing toward open environmental light.
Echolocation pulses move through dense underwater corridors. Biodiverse, Anee Molly & Canblaster – Echolocation. Sonic signals expand in mapping waves, each one revealing new luminous territories of shared presence.
A temple forms in dark sound. boycalledcrow – temple. Heavier beats and dub-inflected soundscapes rise around alien phenomena and personal memory. The entire space opens in immersive motion through grief-shaped and expansive fields.
Interplanetary time stretches across sparse electronic textures. TheAdelaidean – Interplanetary Time (featuring Lauren Jones). E-bow drones and heavily processed ambient recordings carry a passive traveller through prolonged motion. Voices whisper at the edge of consciousness while fractured melodies echo from distant harmonic turns, the whole journey unfolding in layered stillness.
Dismal radiance pours through liminal corridors of flowing memory. Philippe Blache – Through The Dismal Radiance. Meandering immersive textures and high emotional tones open into imaginary territories. The entire headspace expands in careful melancholic repetition and profound sonic depth.
Dual forms rise in mirrored light. Irène Blanc – Dual. Parallel tones move together across open space, each layer expanding the shared field in dual motion.
The visions complete their circle.

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve just pressed play on another fragile spool of the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 277. A twelve-track virtual cassette that flips itself at the halfway mark, whether you’re ready or not.
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.
I’m trying something new by not introducing the artists, but instead incorporation their work into an incatation of sorts.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,104 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.
A dreamlike, luminous ambient journey through nameless cities, rising rain, forgotten trails, and golden light.
Side A drifts from violet fog and modular labyrinths into voltage nests, Apalachee trails, hauntological villages, deep indigo night, and lost map coordinates. Side B lifts with rain falling upward, vast interlocking machines, Bach-coloured bird calls, sideways golden rays, wide unknowable valleys, and a single golden earring turning in zero gravity.
Overall mood: Contemplative, otherworldly, and quietly radiant — full of soft wonder, spectral warmth, and gentle expansion. Perfect for deep listening, late-night immersion, or drifting through imagined landscapes.
Side A
00:00:00 Almost Random – Night at the Nameless city
A city without name rises from violet fog. Docks of Celephais stretch into endless water the colour of old mercury. Towers lean at angles that fold inward. Almost Random – Night at the Nameless City. Modular currents braid through the streets. A single lead voice climbs like a pale recorder note, threading the labyrinth where colours bloom outside the spectrum and a lecturer’s silhouette watches from every window at once.
00:05:07 LOULA YORKE – Broody
The roof opens. A nest of voltage and feathers pulses with heat. LOULA YORKE – Broody. Shared-system circuits glow amber and emerald. Nestlings open their beaks in perfect rhythm with the rising sequences. The air fills with starling-shaped waveforms that scatter across the studio ceiling and reform as constellations.
00:07:57 Dionisaf – Forgotten Trails of the Apalachee (ft. Liesbet Leroy)
Cotton fields unroll under a sky of molten copper. An ageing horse moves through tall grass that whispers in kalimba tones. Dionisaf – Forgotten Trails of the Apalachee. Liesbet’s flute drifts above the restored guitar like river mist carrying the scent of magnolias and dry October leaves. Forest trails glow with soft bioluminescence. Seven years of Mississippi light gather into a single warm horizon that keeps expanding.
00:10:03 Belbury Poly – The People
A village appears between the hedges, built entirely of library jingles and children’s television ghosts. Belbury Poly – The People. Minimoog laughter curls through the lanes. Melodica and psaltery ring from open windows. Vines part to reveal Pan’s Garden where the InterCity 125 glides past in slow silver arcs and every face in the square turns toward the listener with the same knowing smile.
00:13:34 Euan Alexander Millar & Henrik Meierkord – Shades Of Night
Night gathers in layers of deep indigo and charcoal. Euan Alexander Millar & Henrik Meierkord – Shades Of Night. Cello tones stretch into long translucent ribbons. Spoken words rise from within the drones and dissolve back into them. The entire field breathes at the pace of a single sustained note.
00:17:19 maps and diagrams – Echo.atlas-B2 [lost.wav]
A map unfolds made of missing coordinates. maps and diagrams – Echo.atlas-B2 [lost.wav]. Waves of pure signal drift across blank paper, leaving faint luminous traces that rearrange themselves into new continents every few seconds.
Side B
00:23:01 Spirituals – Rain Falling Up
Rain lifts from the ground in slow silver columns and continues upward into a sky the colour of candle flame. Spirituals – Rain Falling Up. Pedal steel and vibraphone form soft glowing orbs that float beside the rising water. Field recordings and voice memos drift through the air as tiny points of warm light, each one a living candle carried through the open dark.
00:27:18 Dadanaut – Interferenzen
Gears the size of towers interlock across a black-and-gold cityscape. Dadanaut – Interferenzen. Workers and superiors move inside the same vast machine. Sparks of freedom leap between the teeth of the wheels. The entire structure hums with the low frequency of relief seeking its shape.
00:32:09 Pointe du Lac – Herr Gott, nun schleuß den Himmel auf (BWV617)
An empty living room fills with the calls of exotic birds that exist only as samples. Pointe du Lac – Herr Gott, nun schleuß den Himmel auf (BWV617). Simple arpeggios cross and shift like interlocking stained-glass windows. Bach harmonies rise through Sun Ra colours. The ceiling opens into a progressive lake of pure harmonic light.
00:35:04 Timo Kuusi – Crepuscular Rays
Crepuscular rays pour sideways across the room in thick golden beams. Timo Kuusi – Crepuscular Rays. Each ray carries its own instructional geometry. The beams expand until the whole space becomes a single radiant exercise in pure illumination.
00:42:39 The Green Kingdom – Vale of the Unknowable
Evening settles in airy layers of soft violet and pearl. The Green Kingdom – Vale of the Unknowable. Piano motifs drift through reverb-soaked guitar lines. The landscape opens into a wide still valley where every sound has room to unfold at its own unhurried pace.
00:44:52 Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota – Golden Earring
A golden earring turns slowly in zero gravity, catching and releasing light in perfect circles. Guest Bartender Deborah Toyota – Golden Earring. The sound arrives as the first sensation of hearing itself: tender, experimental, shaped for the earliest possible listener. Everything remains open, unguarded, and newly born.

A nostalgic, gently varied ambient journey through parting regrets, haunted cities, wildlife, and liquid illusions.
Side A moves from crackling farewells and spectral urban spaces into sunflowers, foxes, returning places, and soft confusion. Side B shifts through weird islands, mythical unicorns, brief summer echoes, transistor revolutions, distant horizons, and ends in liquid dreams.
Overall mood: Warm, reflective, and lightly mysterious — blending personal nostalgia with quiet wonder and soft experimental edges. Perfect for relaxed listening, late afternoons, or peaceful immersion.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,104 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave.

Side A
On this episode you’ll hear Calgary, Alberta based Monroeville Music Center with a lovely nostalgic crackling piece from 2015 titled Parting Regrets from the name your price album Cave & Castle. Formerly available on cassette via Illuminated Paths.
Then Coventry, UK based artist Rich Johnson aka Visionary Lines sent me his latest haunted single The People’s City.
This will be followed by another UK based artist LoveKrafty and the also nostalgic track Sunflowers from the 2020 release Rainbow Drifter.
Then if I say Preston you’ll probably say Polypores. If you know Polypores then you’d probably not recognise this as being the same artist. I’ve chosen the track Foxes taken from his latest release Wildlife. It’s availabe on cassette through the Aural Canyon label.
After that we head to Italy and an artist who ended yesterdays episode Far away Nebraska with the drifting drone tones of a track titled It’s been a while since I’ve been here from the album Halfway from nowhere which is out on Seil Records sub-label Kordel Records.
Closing Side A is Tehran based Iranian artist Nahal Kavand and the lovely floating drones of the track Confusion from the album Echoes of a Fading Existence which is out on Lᴏɴᴛᴀɴᴏ Series which is the sub-label of rohs! records.
But first, to set the vibe: Monroeville Music Center with Parting Regrets.
Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us.
One side flip. Just the music.
Side B
Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting.
You’ll hear another artist I played yesterday. Italian artist Gino Fioravanti (Aglaia) with the longest entry in todays episode at 13:50 titled Unicorn from their latest release Altitudes which is out on legenday Projekt Records.
After that we’ll head to my present city of resedence Stockholm and an older one from 2012 by Martin Herterich’s alter ego Sand Circles and the final track from his album Motor City, it’s also the shortest piece of the episode at 1:10 titled Summer Echoes II.
Then we find ourselves in Southsea, UK based artist swimming lesson. Now this is a super duper exclusive from a collective of absolutly wonderful souls that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for a few years now. They’ve gotten together to form The Synthesis Co-Operative and the first release is out on the 4th of September and will be available on cassette, Minidisc and digital and will be accompanied with a 40 page zine. Preorders from 14th August. This swimming lesson track, is stunning, and is called Transistor Revolution. Other names on this first release which will go by the name The Synthesis Co-Op Volume One will include The Earl of Dean, Legacy Systems, HDRF, Scholars of the Peak, theMLFs, Visionary Lines, Warmfield and more.
Near the end we’re joined by another Projekt Records release by Kyiv, Ukraine artist Bohdan Stupak and the moving track horizon from the equally moving album a place in memories.
Finally, Paris, France based artist Philippe Deschamps together with Nathaniel James Goldblatt aka The Goodnight Project and the drifting track Liquid Illusions from the four track EP Maps of an Invisible World.
But first, a wonderfully weird track by Mensa Group International titled Southern Mauristemo Islands from the 2012 Album Split LP which is split with luxury elite and was released on the Ailanthus Recordings label.

A reflective, slightly mysterious ambient journey through memory, floating worlds, and quiet observation.
Side A drifts from cello warmth and barking flowers into micro-drones, memory death, and floating liminality. Side B moves through ghosts, watchful figures, dusty relics, field-recorded nostalgia, watery reflections, and ends in Borges-inspired shadow.
Overall mood: Contemplative, nostalgic, and gently enigmatic — full of soft transitions and quiet emotional depth. Perfect for late-night listening, deep focus, or peaceful solitude.
I’ll introduce Side A now. Side B will wait for the intermission, as is tradition.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have 1,095 other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series Veil Frequencies, recorded floor-by-floor inside the 24 buildings of a place called the Resonant Veil Enclave. They also get the ever-growing advance version of the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures.
Side A
On this episode you’ll hear Stockholm cellist Henrik Meierkord teaming up with Indian artist Suseti for the title track “Hilate” from their latest name-your-price release.
Then Rotterdam’s Ard Janssen, better known as Ard Bit, guides us through surrender and introspection with “Barking Flowers” from the album Juxtaposed. That’s out on Dronarivm’s side hustle DƎЯRDE.
Next, the trio of Zach Frizzell, Kaiton Slusher and James Clements — zakè, Ossa and ASC — open their remarkable album Microliths and Momentary Drifts with the delicate “Microlith 1”.
After that, a piece from Boards of Canada’s Inferno: the quietly devastating “Memory Death”, out on Warp Records of course.
Then a collaboration between Tomotsugu Nakamura and David Cordero: the floating “Ukiyo” (floating world) from the album Aware 哀れ which in Japanese translates as pity or sorrow. Thats out on the wonderful Home Normal label.
Closing Side A is Venezuelan artist Angelo Sanellix together with Mexican producer Justin Ortiz (as SpoonBeats), offering liminal ambience in “long time ago” from the album Distant Particles, released on the prolific Stockholm label Valley View Records.
But first, the opening track of the cassette: Henrik Meierkord & Suseti with “Hilate”.
Now settle in. Turn it up just a little. Let’s see where the tape takes us.
One side flip. Just the music.
Side B
Welcome back, sonic travellers. Six tracks down. Six still waiting.
You’ll hear one of the strongest supporters of this channel — Gareth Evans, known here as HDRF — with an exclusive track from the forthcoming compilation Quiet Figures (out 26 September). His piece is the wonderfully titled “Mr Baines (Is Watching You)”.
Then Scottish modular artist and Dustopian Frequencies curator Everyday Dust offers “Maria” from his latest album The Relic Room.
Next, Chesapeake, Virginia’s Ryan Watts (Akira Film Script), a long-time friend of the library and contributor to The Mystery of the Night. Here he brings the heavily field-recorded “N6-79” from Over Exposure on Driftworks. Shout-out to Andrew Heath for keeping that label so consistently excellent.
Near the end we drift through elemental sensations with Intact Veils (Kraków) and “Image of Water” from the album Saint Imago, released on The Artificial Pine.
And finally, Paul Haslinger and Christian Wittman close the tape with “Elogio de La Sombra” (In Praise of Shadow) from their album Borges — an immersive soundscape into the world of Jorge Luis Borges — on their own label NOION Music.
But first, Raleigh, North Carolina’s Derrick Stembridge, better known as Drifting In Silence and here as Unknowndivide, opens Side B with the drifting drones and IDM glitches of “Ghost” from the album Existence on Labile Records.

For some reason I can no longer embed the shows here
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 260. 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 groovy, cinematic, and eclectic journey blending indie folk introspection, global psychedelic funk, French electronic cool, post-rock elegance, and atmospheric psychedelia.
Side A cruises through cosmic weight, mechanical playfulness, and sun-drenched grooves. Side B percolates with jazzy structures, vaporous textures, and sleek professionalism before ending on a pointed, trippy note.
Overall mood: Stylish, nostalgic, and transportive with a strong retro-cinematic flair—warm, hypnotic, and playfully sophisticated. Perfect for golden-hour drives, late-night listening, or stylish background grooves.
I’ve gone back to doing more podcast style episodes but 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 the episode to give the “virtual cassette” title a meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few subscribers who get to enjoy the 260 episodes plus the 822 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for 3 quid. It used to be a coffee.
This episode is inspired by the key of G minor and based on the amazing retro synth runs of “A Study In Vapors” by “Bluetech” from a release that’s in my top 5 of the year so far “Petite Constellations”.
Every tenth episode I do a best of show. So all these tracks have probably been featured by me over the years and have a special place, for me, in some way. On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Berlin based legends To Rococo Rot with a track simply called “cars”. Originally released on the 1999 album “The Amateur View” which should be in everyone’s collection.
Naples based group Psyché grab our hips with “Cumbia Mahàre” from their debut Four Flies Records, self titled, 2023 release.
Then a trio that have infected me over the past few years, Khruangbin, here joined by the vocal stylings of Leon Bridges in the track “Chocolate Hills” from their 2022 EP Texas Moon.
After that Vincent Taeger aka Tiger Tigre together with, well, himself, in the track “Sport Mécanique” which takes me back to my childhood. My parents watch all sports on tv and this just puts me in that world of 80s sports jingles. It’s taken from the compilation album “ERR REC Library Vol.4 Physical Activity” from 2023.
Ending the A side is the Los Angeles, California based roots reggae infected Pachy García aka Pachyman and the track “Sunset Sound” from the album “The Return of…” released in 2021.
Starting off Side B with Vienna, Austria based synth maestro Dorian Concept and the track “Eigendynamik (Elevator Version)” from the 2020 album “The Jitters”.
Followed by my favourite Stockholm based artist of recent years Joel Danell better known as Sven Wunder. Here with the piece “Pop-Jazz Structures”. Every one of Joels tracks puts me in a happy space. This is from his 2023 album “Late Again”.
Then anyone who has followed the channel knows that I love odd time signatures and the track “Percolator” is in 5/8 and is by the one of a kind originals Stereolab. Taken from the 2025 album “Emperor Tomato Ketchup”.
This leads into the featured Seattle, Washington based, Evan Bartholomew, better known as, Bluetech track “A Study In Vapors”.
Then the penultimate piece for today comes in the form of one of my all time go to artists Air with the track “Les Professionnels” from their debut 1997 EP Premiers Symptômes.
Finishing us off is Salvia Plath aka RUN DMT with nostalgic samples over a hypnotic acoustic guitar line in the track “Money” from the 2009 album BONG VOYAGE.
But first, to set the vibe is New Zealand based folk tinged artist whose voice just grips me Aldous Harding with the song “Weight of the Planets” from her fantastic third album “Designer” from 2019.
Labels to be mentioned are 4AD UK, City Slang, Four Flies Records, Dead Oceans, ERR REC, ATO, Brainfeeder, Piano Piano Records, Warp Records, Behind The Sky Music, DiN and Virgin Records.

Library Music
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the new Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is based on the track “They Are Coming Back! (Possibly Maybe)” by friend of the channel Uncle Fido. Available through his alter ego Binaural Space. Dropped May 1.
If you make music 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.
And if you’re enjoying the channel, please consider subscribing — even if it’s just for a month, it makes a real difference.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

Psychedelic 70s library-inspired trip with swirling analogue warmth and dreamy haze. Nostalgic and hypnotic.

Good evening… or good morning, wherever you are. This is Trevor.
Welcome once again to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set itself. This episode titled Quiet Unseen Days is based on the tracks Distant Days and Molten Days by the amazing artist and whitelabrecs. label curator Harry Towell here in the guise of Spheruleus. They’re from the album The Lost Catalogue , which comes out on May 16 2026. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. If you can subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help.
Right then… here we go.
00:00:00 Clariloops – Quiet Current
A gentle, flowing ambient piece built around soft currents of tone and subtle field recordings. It evokes a calm, submerged drift—peaceful and meditative, like listening to water moving just beneath the surface.
00:04:56 NOUVELLES LECTURES COSMOPOLITES – Petite ronde nocturne pour rongeurs du désert
A whimsical nocturnal miniature for “desert rodents.” Delicate, circling melodies and intimate textures create a playful yet mysterious night-time vignette in the artist’s characteristic neo-classical/electro-acoustic style.
00:07:07 Gollden – destiny #10
Dreamy, drifting ambient with hazy pads and gentle melodic fragments. Part of a larger “Destiny” series, it feels introspective and slightly nostalgic, like wandering through half-remembered emotional landscapes.

Warm, cinematic ambient bathed in graceful, evergreen resonance. Slow-evolving chords and organic textures convey a sense of quiet majesty and natural serenity.

Subtle, luminous ambient from Scott Morgan. Crystalline tones and deep, resonant layers create a glowing, introspective atmosphere full of light and shadow.

Textural ambient with sticky, resinous drones and microscopic detail. It feels organic and slightly viscous, like observing slow chemical or botanical processes in sound.

From the reflective “The Lost Catalogue,” this track layers warm, flowing textures with a sense of liquid heat and memory. Intimate field recordings meet glowing drones in a hazy, molten haze.

Quirky, pastoral-tinged ambient/electronic excursion. Playful yet atmospheric, blending organic elements with curious, otherworldly flourishes.
00:43:31 Allmanna Town – Sample 30 [Beatless Version]
Beatless ambient drift built from sampled fragments. Sparse, looping textures create a hypnotic, suspended mood—minimal and immersive.
00:44:38 Ann Annie – the ocean
Gentle, watery ambient evoking vast open seas. Soft swells, distant horizons, and intimate closeness blend into a deeply calming, oceanic meditation.
00:46:19 Spheruleus – Distant Days
Another piece from “The Lost Catalogue.” Faded, nostalgic textures and far-off resonances paint pictures of memory receding into time.
00:51:33 ff8282 – doir
Minimal, glitch-tinged ambient with crisp, abstract sonics. Cool and precise, it feels like fragmented digital memories or quiet code poetry.
01:05:04 Michael Valentine West – unseen footage
Haunting, cinematic ambient suggesting lost or hidden recordings. Dusty textures and shadowy atmospheres create a voyeuristic, melancholic feel.
01:13:36 Sitting & Laying – Day One. Sitting In My Parents’ Backyard Looking Out

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 176
04 February 2026
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 176. I’m your guide, Trevor.
The cassette sits ready in the deck, labels hand-scribbled, oxide already flaking a bit at the edges. Side A and Side B, twenty artists strung across them like beads on a frayed string. We’ll flip the tape halfway through, that satisfying clunk and hiss, because some things refuse to be digital.
Tonight we drift through ambient drifts, kosmische pulses, drone meditations, a touch of library funk, some psychedelic sprawl, electroacoustic murmurs from places like Bulgaria, the UK, Munich, Buenos Aires, Athens, Rome, Sheffield, Colorado, and a few others that don’t fit neatly on any map. The longest track stretches out patiently, Asha Patera’s – Wandering in the Upside Down from Sounds for the Soul Records, clocking in at just over 11 minutes. Durations aside, none hurry. There’s an exclusive track which open the B side from Moscow artist DEE_KAY and his track Bellcut. But we’ll get to all that in a bit.
Headphones on if you’ve got them. Volume where it feels intimate. Let the kettle whistle if it wants to. The world can wait.
We begin with a January release from the Mahorka label in Bulgaria, a collected volume of drone and teknoiz spanning a decade. Autonomаton offers The UFO project remix—eerie, floating synth washes that suggest something observed from a great height, unhurried and slightly unsettling in the best way. From the album Collected Not Lost 2015-2025 Vol 1: Drone and Teknoiz.
Autonomаton – The UFO project remix.
Next, Mark Ellery Griffiths with Synthi Sequence B. Loops and sequences built on vintage synths, patient repetitions that build quiet architectures. Mark is a regular of my shows and doesn’t get the credit he should. Check out his Bandcamp releases. He’s nudging on 50 and they’re name your price. Synthi Loops Sequences 2025 – Self released back in December.
Mark Ellery Griffiths – Synthi Sequence B.
Danielle Nia now, Longing For Togetherness. Warm, enveloping tones from i u we records, a gentle pull toward connection without ever forcing the issue. Stunning patchwork from the great Connected 3 compilation. Released a couple of weeks back on i u we records.
Danielle Nia – Longing For Togetherness.
Greek artist Substak and his track Apartment Window from Belgian ambient label Daydreamers. A quick view onto quiet streets, field recordings woven into subtle rhythms, the sound of somewhere lived-in and watched over time. From the EP Empty Bench – released not two weeks ago.
Substak – Apartment Window.
A good friend of the channel Asha Patera, Wandering in the Upside Down. Dream-logic drifts and inverted atmospheres from Sounds for the Soul Records, like walking through familiar rooms that have rearranged themselves while you slept. The Vale of Shadows – Sounds for the Soul. Which is a Stranger Things inspired ambient compilation. Also released in January. This is the long haul.
Asha Patera – Wandering in the Upside Down.
Belgian artist Jeroen Lauwers is, Red Stars Over Tokyo with In Trance from self released The Burning Spiral. Pulsing, hypnotic acid tinged layers that suggest endless night drives through neon-lit cities that might not exist. The Burning Spiral. released back in December.
Red Stars Over Tokyo – In Trance.
Southend On Sea artist Adrian Lane, After The Deluge. Post-flood calm, piano and strings emerging from residue, reflective, haunted and sparse. Their Ghosts and Ours – out on Sheffields finest Audiobulb.
Adrian Lane – After The Deluge.
Argentinian artist Puppy Bordiga with mRn, Solarium. Collaborative warmth, sunlit electronics and gentle percussion from Walking the Way III. Self released back in November.
Puppy Bordiga with mRn – Solarium.
ATA Records is a label and I can’t get my head around if they are also a band. They really know their library stuff but on this release and others the artist is simply ATA Records, no credits to the artists which is a shame. Anyway This is Tatsuya, The Sword. Library archive material, cinematic and evocative, with a heartfelt flute. drawn from Vol 4. The Library Archive Vol 4 – ATA Records.
ATA Records – Tatsuya, The Sword.
Tape flip. The mechanism clicks, heads realign, oxide continues its slow decay. Side B.
Coming up the exclusive for episode 176 is by Moscow Marist DEE-KEY now, Bellcut. Sharp, precise cuts through ambient haze from Local Gods. Local Gods. Drops next week in the 12 of February. Remember where you heard it first.
DEE-KEY – Bellcut.
Now from one of the best Italian jazz-funk library albums of the ’70s. Oscar Rocchi’s Genziana. Herbal, pastoral electronics evoking wild flowers and Italian hillsides, from Erbe Selvatiche on Four Flies Vaults which is the digital imprint of Four Flies Records.
Oscar Rocchi – Genziana.
Now to a favourite label and a release from November. Grant Beasley, The Vanishing Point. This is the title track. Horizon-line drones and slow dissolves. Grant Beasley – The Vanishing Point – Cyclical Dreams.
Grant Beasley – The Vanishing Point.
Next filter sweep time. LA artist Good Sunset, Taormina. Which is a hilltop town on the island of Sicily and I bet they have good sunsets there. Sun-drenched, cinematic reveries from Cinema Everything on Mystery Circles.
Good Sunset – Taormina.
And here’s one from me, under Trevlad—EXPANSIVE WAVES 18 (Slipping Precautions Obvious). A previous transmission excerpt, layered and recursive. TVCL 07 – Trevlad.
Trevlad – EXPANSIVE WAVES 18 (Slipping Precautions Obvious).
Next the poppiest piece I’ve played in a good while. Nostalgia 77, You Where In My Dream Last Night. Dream-state jazz inflections, soft and lingering. Love the bass lines and sound. This is the first single from their upcoming EP titled: When The Lights Gone. Which drops on the 1 May on Nostalgia 77’s Bandcamp page.
Nostalgia 77 – You Where In My Dream Last Night.
Next up Guitars and synth with GROSSO GADGETTO, and “the track Once there was only dark”. Apocalyptic soundscapes for a world winding down, from “Soundtrack for a Dying World by Dark Supreme & Grosso Gadgetto”. Sampled voices of Matthew McConaughey & Woody Harrelson.
GROSSO GADGETTO – “Once there was only dark”.
Now get your world music psychedelic slippers on. We’re off to Melbourne Australia. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Flying Microtonal Banana. Microtonal excursions, psychedelic without apology, the shortest in the episode at 2:34 yet packing strange tunings into tight space. From the album of the same fantastic name. Released on the Heavenly Recordings label about a year ago.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Flying Microtonal Banana.
Now back to 2021 and some wonky synth chords. Near Stoic, Music For A Friend. Intimate, thoughtful pieces from Notebook Thoughts Short Stories on Third Kind Records. A definite Boards of Canada vibe to this one.
Near Stoic – Music For A Friend.
Now I wish my doorbell sounded more like this. The penultimate track and the ultimate wind down. Miguel Otero, Blooming in Sturton Street. Gentle blooms and street-level calm from Islas Calm Cloud. One of the recent compilations let loose on Whitelabrecs. Get it now…
Miguel Otero – Blooming in Sturton Street.
And before the tape ends. Thanks for staying with it. These transmissions aren’t built for haste, and neither, I suspect, are you. Support the artists if any of this lodged somewhere—buy the music, share the names. Stream this one on Mixcloud for a week if you need to revisit. All the paths and links live at trevor.se.
And if it was possible to close on a chiller note I think I have you covered. We close with Astropilot, The River Knows No Hurry. Flowing, unforced kosmische from Stockholm label Valley View Records, a reminder that some currents simply continue.
Until the next time the cassette calls. Stay resonant. Stay expansive. Let the sounds find their own way.
Trevor, signing off.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 174
28 January 2026
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 washed up in. This is Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. I’m Trevor, turning the reels in the half-light, playing custodian to these sounds that drift in from places most folk never bother to tune toward.
We’ve got twenty artists lined up across the two sides tonight, twenty fragments of cassette spirit. No rush, no hits, no pleading for your attention. Ambient drifts mingle with electroacoustic textures, spiritual jazz breathes alongside kraut-tinged electronics, improv flickers meet drone horizons. Patience is the only ticket required.
Side A coming right up as we ease in with Bary Center and The Source Of Something Greater – Guide Me Through The Hills Of Your Home – Third Kind Records back in 2020. I’d describe this as Textured ambient with a glitch undercurrent, dub-like pulses buried in meditative marshland haze, a quiet hope threading through the sadness.
Then Asheville, North Carolinas Spooqs brings the shortest track of the episode clocking in a 2:27 with Lyskae, The Fissure – Biomes. Cinematic electroacoustic soundscapes, a pilgrimage mapped in melody across dunes and into salt water, landscapes that remember your footprints.
CV Vision follows with The Jam – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. A slice from the label’s latest roundup, electronics carrying that Hamburg lineage of krautrock echoes and avant-garde restraint.
The longest offering this round at 6:53 Resonating With Life offers Spinning Out of The Skies – Resonating With Life – Cyclical Dreams. Drone and ambient suspended in slow rotation, skies that keep unfolding long after you’ve looked away.
Another short one at 2:50 Galecstasy & Mike Watt Trio step up with Imitation Squid – Wattzotica. Which came out today January 28 on A favourite label and channel sponsoring Mystery Circles. I’d say this is Free improvisation from the Joshua Tree, punk-edged bass from Watt meeting synths and drums in unscripted motion, raw and restless.
GODTET deliver Stepper – +The Sydney Symphony Orchestra – La SAPE records. Spiritual jazz meeting orchestral weight, live from the Sydney Opera House, improvisation threading through fixed structures like light through stone.
Now, me, Trevlad with Obey Beams Starting – TVCL 09. Ambient electronics pulled from the library’s own recent episodes, beams that start quiet and refuse to explain themselves.
Camp of Wolves and Summer’s End – Bear Creek – Castles in Space Lunar Module imprint. Fading seasonal glow, folk-tinged atmospheres cooling into dusk.
Angel Wail – When The Burden Felt Too Heavy. A solitary voice in the weight, A self released single that will be featured on my next compilation Puzzles of the Psyche. A reminder to get your entries in for this before March 25th. This Is classic synth shapings with a sad story.
And closing Side A, one of the longer pieces of the episode at 6:50 Jarguna / Odile Bruckert / Henrik Meierkord close the side with The First Sunrise I Remember – Furrows Of Memory – Projekt Records. Memory etched in gentle field recordings and strings, the first light recalled across years.
Side B.
Hipwell opens with Too Much – Too Much. Available through Island House Recordings. This is Direct, unadorned, a title that says everything and nothing more.
Hipnotic Earth brings Snow Begins To Fall – Islas Calm Cloud – Whitelabrecs. Winter settling in slow layers, calm cloud islands drifting.
OdNu, Mi Cosa de Resistance and mRn with En el Viento – Southern Lands – Southern Lands. On another show sponsoring label Audiobulb. Wind-carried voices and tones, Argentinas southern latitudes whispering through the mix.
Das Kinn – Nichts – Bureau B 2025 – Bureau B. Another from the Bureau B harvest, negation turned into sound, sparse and deliberate.
Clearways offers Mirage – Latrality. Illusions held in place by careful electronics, edges that shimmer and refuse to solidify.
Serbian artist nedogled with Toplina – Upavi Snovi. Warmth in dream states, tones that wrap rather than strike.
Autistici – 2.25 Degrees of Internalisation – Familiarity Unfolded. Another one out on Audiobulb. Internal shifts measured in fractions, unfolding slow and precise.
London based, Time Attendant brings Lapping Up Flames – The Feral Mould. Flames consumed in reverse, feral shapes moulded into something almost gentle. An odd one this, avant garde in places.
Lorna Dune with Perseids – Sequential Dreaming. Another great release from Mystery Circles. Meteor trails across dreaming sequences, streaking light in the dark.
And now, as the tape hisses toward silence, a few words before we disappear again. Thanks for staying with it. These shows aren’t built for crowds, and neither, perhaps, are you. Support the artists where you can—buy the tapes, the downloads, the vinyl when it appears. Whisper their names into whatever void listens. It matters more than metrics suggest.
This episode streams free on Mixcloud for a week, full links and credits at trevor.se and in the comments. Leave a word if something landed. Or don’t. Quiet has its own frequency.
Until the wind shifts or the reel ends—whichever arrives first—stay resonant, stay expansive, let the universe keep its own counsel.
Antwerp based autumna closes the show with sea flames – Murmurs In The Mist – Trevlad. Flames on water, murmurs rising through fog, a final dissolution.
Don’t miss out on my next compilation. Details on my Bandcamp page.
That was Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library, episode one hundred and seventy-four. Good night.

EXPANSIVE WAVES 20
3 December 2025
Good evening, or morning, or whatever fragment of time you’ve found yourself in. This is Expansive Waves, episode twenty. I’m Trevor—your host, your guide, your occasional sonic conspirator.
Tonight’s programme is not for the hurried. Eight pieces, each longer than twelve minutes, each more patient than the last. If you’re expecting choruses, drops, or anything resembling urgency, you may want to try another channel.
We begin, as always, not with a bang but with a murmur. The track you’re hearing underneath me is from my own unreleased album, TVCL 08. It’ll be out when it’s ready—sixteen tracks, no sooner. You can find it on Bandcamp under Trevlad, if you’re the curious sort.
So, settle in. Let the kettle boil. Let the cat sleep. Let the world spin without you for a while.
Right, we are starting off tonight with a deep dive into primitive droning territories, courtesy of Patrick R. Pärk. He is based in Denver, Colorado, and is clearly a devotee of the kosmische sound. This piece is ‘Music As An Awesome Healing Force,’ which appears on his album Luminous Rainbow Pulse, released on November 7. His sound covers Berlin School, electronic, experimental, drone, and krautrock.
Next up, we travel to Luxembourg for Maxence Dubroca & co, who is an experimental composer and arranger, and the frontman of Projet -> Renard) Ost) the company being Anita Franz & Simon Gris. The work we have here is ‘Counsel: A Roam Is Not Consequent,’ lifted from the Jump Badger Jump album, which saw release on July 16. This is wonderfully slow material, categorized as ambient drone, electroacoustic, minimal, and slowcore.
Marvelous. We move now to the UK, specifically Sheffield, for Hervé Perez. Hervé Perez is a sound artist, composer, and improviser, and his work is released via nexTTime production studios. This is a live recording, ‘nada 22, live stream 02 10 2024,’ released October 2, 2024, and takes up the largest part of the episode clocking in at 53:20. Hervés’ sound falls under electronic, electroacoustic, experimental electronic, improvisation, and new jazz. This is the sort of evocative work that uses disquiet and dissonance to open imaginary cinematic worlds.
We turn now to a journey from Jarguna, Odile Bruckert, and Henrik Meierkord. This is ‘Sleeping Among the Rice Fields,’ featured on their album Furrows of Memory. Projekt Records, which is America’s premier independent label specializing in passionately intense introspective music in the ambient, electronic, ethereal, and darkwave genres, released this piece on November 21. The work has a beautiful world, new age vibe. This is music that flows and takes you gently on a peaceful meditation.
Following that, we hear from SourceCodeX, a multi-instrumentalist specializing in synthesizers and guitar, working out of Washington, D.C.. This is ‘Clouds Parting Soon,’ which is part of the REBIRTH ~ 10TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED RELEASE, out on November 16. His sound covers ambient, electronic, progressive rock, and synth rock. SourceCodeX stated that listening to Steve Roach’s Structures from Silence is what turned him into an ambient artist. This is utterly splendid to my taste, described by others as an incredibly immersive experience and epic, mysterious, moving, and beautifully produced.
Next up, we have Ümlaut, with the piece ‘Pulling all the sky’. This track is featured on EX! Zine Edition 4 from Adventurous Music, released on November 24. Adventurous Music, based in Leipzig, Germany, is a non-profit micro-label promoting experimental music. Pulling all the sky provides a contemplative and trippy soundscape, it contains field recordings with bird song which I have a soft spot for.
We turn to Asheville, North Carolina, now for Spooqs. This is the complete ‘BIOMES (Full Suite)’, which came out on November 14. Spooqs calls his efforts Electronic Impressionist Instrumentals, creating mood music for imaginary spaces. As this is a full suite you’re are in for quite a trip.
And finally, to close out this installment of Expansive Waves, we have a beautiful, enveloping drone from a channel regular, Willebrant. This is Karl Willebrant, a bassist and producer from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, running an ambient field drone project. This piece is called ‘A Knight on a Boat (slowed and reverb),’ from his collection The Knight Seas, which saw release on November 7. It is firmly placed in the ambient drone, electronic, and meditation categories. Fans describe the album as divine and providing real gentle ambience to lose yourself in.
🎧 Outro And now, as we approach the final piece, a few words before we vanish again. Thanks for sticking around. Really. These episodes aren’t designed for mass consumption, and neither are you. I’ll be back when the wind changes or the tape runs out—whichever comes first. No schedule, no promises. Waves, that’s all we have. If you liked what you heard, support the artists. Buy their music. Whisper their names into the void. It helps. You can stream this episode on Mixcloud at djsofabed/expansive-waves-20, and find all the links and credits on the episode page at trevor.se. Drop a comment if you feel moved. Or don’t. Silence is underrated. Until next time—stay resonant, stay expansive, and let the soundtrack of the universe find you. Take it away Willebrant.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 149
1 December 2025
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. The second compilation, Resonances from the Depths, is under construction—get involved, send in your damp entries.
Every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 138
2 November 2025
///glare.belonged.reaction.
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 138 of The Virtual Cassette Library.
Glare Belonged Reaction 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 side with a side change in the middle.
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 asmr to techno, from Ambient to world jazz. The musical keys in focus are E major and C sharp minor, D flat minor.
This episode contains some household names like Martin Stürtzer, The Black Dog and Neutral Milk Hotel. Some friends of the channel like The Green Kingdom, Ogle and Time Rival as well as some supporting labels like Fonodroom, Altus Music, Mahorka, Projekt Records, Woodford Halse, whitelabres, Cyclical Dreams and Triplicate Records. You are all 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 the first channel compilation with 33 tracks so far will drop on the 8th of November, pre-orders are available. Subscribe and unlock 868 archived shows.
Remember, every comment, every like, every follow, subscription and, album purchase keeps the frequencies flowing.
