A captivating cosmic and atmospheric journey blending space ambient, cinematic electronics, and warm analogue nostalgia.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to episode 211 of the Virtual Cassette Library. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. This episode is based on the track “Ghosted” by Lone Cosmonaut from the name your price EP “Ghosted” which dropped on the 21st of May via The Committee for Sonic Research label. Also a massive thank you to Lone Cosmonaut, Ian Boddy at DiN Records, Pablo Bilbao at Cyclical Dreams and Colin Morrison at Castles in Space for sponsoring the episode with material. A captivating cosmic and atmospheric journey blending space ambient, cinematic electronics, and warm analogue nostalgia. Side A drifts through ethereal astral planes, lonely ghost transmissions, dark hypnotic voids, and stylish Italian evening grooves. Side B expands with bright hopeful radiance, grand orchestral Moog swells, intricate rhythms, and deep philosophical layers before closing on mysterious folkloric darkness. Overall mood: Dreamy, mysterious, and emotionally rich with a strong sense of wonder and solitude. It feels like floating through starlit skies, abandoned satellites, and warm summer nights — equal parts cosmic isolation and comforting analogue warmth. Perfect for late-night listening, stargazing, or immersive headphone sessions. 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. So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. One side flip, just the music.

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.
Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Hello, Trevor here, and this is episode one‑six‑four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Retain Happier Obeyed—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. 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. On the A side there’s an exclusive by Foster Neville titled, Mow Cop, from the album, Through Lands Of Ghosts. Dropping on the 16th of January via Subexotic Records. On the B side there’s a sort of exclusive by Hendekagon. Who’ve done a magical soundtrack to accompany the book Die Verschiebung der Zeit (The shift in time) by Corina Retzlaff out on Adventurous Music. Also the track, Magical Interval, by John Haughey & Tarotplane is from their up coming Woodford Halse release called, WF 98 – Errata. 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 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.”
