Another reel of the Virtual Cassette Library begins. Twelve tracks, two sides. A virtual cassette that turns itself at the halfway mark, the oxide catching just long enough to mark the seam before the second side continues. These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form. If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard. The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return. Mind the flip.
Ratios that refuse to sit still, then a star named Denebula that may or may not exist. Side A measures the ratios from slightly different angles and finds the whole thing rather flattering, lets the chicken wear the badge while the noise blushes, sets vibrant matter dancing so the gooseberry can nod along, cracks the cosmic egg into a sequel already writing its memoirs, keeps just moving with the diagrams packing a small suitcase, and lets the neon lights hum a little tune while the virtual woman is quite pleased about it. Side B seats the melancholia in a chair that already understands, lets the shades of light choose their favourites, sends the vector already in flight so the trick can land, lodges the rainmodulator while the dogs and the shadows negotiate a truce, keeps the northern furniture with Autobaba in the other room, and surveys a star named Denebula with the spear already pointing somewhere kind. Overall mood: Playful, and quietly flattered — full of nodding gooseberries, comfortable chairs, and stars that may or may not exist. Perfect for dusk listening, soft sofas, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A Mood mist: ratios that refuse to sit still, a chicken with a fondness for noise, matter that vibrates like a gooseberry in a good mood, an egg that cracked the cosmos and is now doing a sequel, something just moving because it can, neon lights that have opinions.
00:00:00 Altus – Parallax Ratios https://altusmusic.bandcamp.com/track/parallax-ratios Album: Echo Bloom. Label: Altus Music The ratios already measuring each other from slightly different angles and finding the whole thing rather flattering. 00:08:17 Toxic Chicken – I Heart Noise https://iheartnoise.bandcamp.com/track/toxic-chicken-i-heart-noise-2 Album: IHN019 // Gone in 60 Seconds – Vol. 5. Label: I Heart Noise The chicken already wearing the badge. The noise already blushing. 00:09:04 Soda Lite – Vibrant Matter https://soda-lite.bandcamp.com/track/vibrant-matter Album: 011: Soda Lite (Cape Gooseberry). Label: Music To Watch Seeds Grow By The matter already doing a little dance. The gooseberry already nodding along. 00:11:47 Michael Brückner – The Egg of Ecquirlo – Part 2 https://cyclicaldreams.bandcamp.com/track/the-egg-of-ecquirlo-part-2 Album: The Egg in the Cosmic Crack [CYD 0165]. Label: Cyclical Dreams The crack already larger. The egg already writing its memoirs. 00:21:38 maps and diagrams – just moving https://homenormal.bandcamp.com/track/just-moving Album: returning light. Label: Home Normal The moving already under way. The diagrams already packing a small suitcase. 00:26:06 Virtual Woman – Neon Lights https://soundsforthesoul.bandcamp.com/track/virtual-woman-neon-lights Album: Cyberpunk. Label: Sounds for the Soul Records The lights already humming a little tune. The woman already virtual, and quite pleased about it.
Side B Mood mist: a melancholia that has found a comfortable chair, shades of light arranging themselves, a vector that knows where it’s going, a rainmodulator that has become stuck and is now taking up a hobby, furniture from the north, a star named Denebula that may or may not exist.

“Hello, Trevor here, and this is the all new Virtual Cassette Library and episode one‑six‑five. First up we have the La Ponto Ensemblo which is actually a duo made up of Hans-Dieter Schmidt and Edward-Clark Cornell who together make delicate and harsh neo-classical pieces. This is track five from their latest release Fragile Objects: In A Harsh Environment. Headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you. Next up an old favourite of mine in the form of fellow Irishman David K. Mason. Better known as Listening Center. Mason is now based in New York and runs the rather fantastic Temporary tapes label. Although this track, Plugged In Nollaig, (nollaig being Irish for Christmas) is from the Subexotic Records compilation EP Yule 25. Just a heads up, 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. Now next up the original sounds of Sam Prekop. Sam is a master of modular synthesis. This is the title track from his latest release Open Close which is available through Thrill Jockey Records. Now Mark Donlon also known as CZiGO with the dare I say jazz fusion injected piece, SERPITUDE, from his album, Techno Feudal. The latest to drop on New Zealand based Machine Records. Now Russian artist NDORFIK with the Idm vibe Saimaa which is named after a Finnish lake and here is given a Finnish remix by the legendary Lackluster. The album of the same name is available through the Local Gods label. Next up is from the i u we records label. A label focussing on the beauty of female diversity in electronic music. The artist is Silver Galaky and is a duo made up of Anna-Maria Van Reusel on modular and keyboard synthesizers, and usually a very imaginative guitarist Dennis Slypen. Although this piece might well be just anna letting loose on her 5U Moon Modular system. The track is Strahlensammler and is from the upcoming compilation release connected #3. Dropping on i u we records on the 20th of January. Now one of my favourite Swedish artists at the moment. Albin Johansson who simply goes by the name Albin. Everything Albin has released is gold. He has that retro library music ear which I cherish. This is the title track from the name your price EP DFAM which I believe is entirely written on the Moog Drummer From Another Mother. Albin is also a curator of the Malmö label Paltunes. Let’s go. And now staying in Sweden in a way. from my neighbours up the road Passed Recordings recent, must have Chrimbo compilation The Ghost of Christmas passed I’ve pulled another great track from the 35 piece strong release in the form of this short entry, Snowfields by the artist Angel who I no nothing about. Enjoy… Next up a long live piece I’ve kept its entirety for the episode. This is the artist Ryan Watts who goes by the wonderful name of Akira Film Script. Here with the piece E. Not to be confused with E or E.. Which are tracks on the same album titled Live at the Modern. It’s released on a label you should all know by now, whitelabrecs run by the unstoppable Harry Towell. And now to end the virtual A side another figure of the ambient scene who does more than his fair share, Boris Potschubay who we all know as Jogging House. Boris curates the fantastic label Seil Records on which he has released the album Kiosk. Here he is with the track Worn.
Starting off the B side was the wonderful harp-like piano sounds and jazz phrasings of Brooklyn based artist Eliot Krimsky with the track, Transmission, from the album, I Made My House. Out on the outstanding Moon Glyph Next a track of my own titled Trunk Stubbed Wiser which is a What3Words geographical location where I’ve filmed a visual to go with the piece on youtube. It’s from the album TVCL 07. Now a legend who for me embodies the late 90s IDM mood. French artist Alain Pachins, better known as, CIALYN here with a live take called, Last Lights / Winds Reader, from the album, 24:1900 Session Live. Now to Melbourne bassist and producer Karl Willebrant. The ultra prolific Willebrant has released two albums since the release of The Knight Seas which was released in November. Here is an almost 11 minute treat, Thoughts of Them (A Knight on a Beach Mix – slowed and reverb) Next up the unmistakable organic electronic sound of KILN which is actually a group made up of Kevin Hayes, Kirk Marrison, and Clark Rehberg III. Here is a track from their 8th album, Lemon Borealis. Which was released on the wonderful label, A Strangely Isolated Place. This is Ptarmigan which is a form of grouse found in northern and arctic regions. And now a short piece from the fun Dutch artist Toxic Chicken. This is the track, Inner Worlds, from the album, Felicity out on the brilliant label Ingrown Records. Staying with Ingrown Records, here is another quicky, from label curator, Raw Ryan , here as the artist, Anubis Rude, and the 37 second ditty, Spirit Bell, from the album, Explorer. Support the Ingrown Records label. It’s needed. Next up Jason Courtney aka, In Darkness There Is Light shortened to (IDTiL), and another Machine Records release titled, A Screensaver Of Emotions, this is the pumping minute long, Ahhhh Sequence. Now to the penultimate track and something different from British born, Vienna based, Mark Peter Royce Featuring Cecilia C from Tempestine and the track, Antidote, from the album Twilight in the Altered World. We end with the beautiful ambient warblings of Collette Andrea who goes by the name Gollden. Collette helps curate the Toronto based label Imaginary North together with Daniel Field of Kilometre Club fame. Thank you all for tuning into episode 165 of the Virtual Cassette library. I hope you like its new direction. Sending us home is Gollden with, destiny #9, from the album, Destiny.
