Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 234
Livingston Transmission Centre
Based on the tracks “Tukushima Transmission” by “Dark Fidelity Hi Fi” from the album “Your Skyline Correspondent” and “Make it In Livingston” by “Dohnavùr” from the album “We Owe Each Other Everything”.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A luminous and emotionally rich electronic-ambient voyage blending cosmic wonder, personal reflection, and subtle melancholy.
Side A shines with intricate psybient, heartfelt warmth, and liquid fluidity, while Side B drifts into warped nostalgia, nautical mystery, and deep void-like stillness.
Overall mood: Hopeful yet introspective, atmospheric, and gently psychedelic. It balances light and shadow beautifully — perfect for late-night drives, deep listening, or reflective immersion.
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.
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.
Side A
00:00:00 Bluetech – Chronal Anomaly
Intricate psybient with swirling temporal glitches, crystalline percussion, and luminous melodic layers. Hypnotic and mind-bending.
00:04:00 Dark Fidelity Hi Fi – Tukushima Transmission
Warm, glowing electronic soundscapes layered with emotional depth, radiant bass, and shimmering keys. Melancholy-tinged yet hopeful and beautifully crafted — a heartfelt transmission shining through grief into acceptance and light.
00:07:02 R&D – Periscope Depth
Submerged, stealthy analogue electronics with deep pressure and patient, submerged movement. Tense and immersive.
00:14:52 Grant Beasley – Omega Particle
Vast, high-energy ambient/techno exploring cosmic particles with crystalline textures and expansive scale. Dramatic and radiant.

Fluid, liquid ambient with gentle rhythms and grounded warmth. Flowing and emotionally resonant.
00:22:55 Hannah Peel – Mantis vs Horse
Playful, intricate electronic piece with organic vs mechanical tension and delicate, detailed beauty. Quirky and charming.
Side B
00:28:37 Boards of Canada – Prophecy At 1420 MHz
Eerie, mid-tempo BoC classic with ominous narration, warped analogue nostalgia, and subtle cosmic dread. Instantly recognisable and hypnotic.
00:33:42 Dohnavùr – Make it In Livingston
Atmospheric, regional electronic with hauntological undertones and a sense of place. Stark and evocative.
00:37:45 Twilight Sequence – Lurid Episodes Out at Sea
Moody, cinematic ambient with nautical mystery and dramatic, lurid storytelling. Darkly immersive.
00:44:35 The British Stereo Collective – Nerve Centre
Retro-futurist analogue exploration with central nervous system energy and warm, institutional charm. Focused and vibrant.
00:52:00 Rodrigo Passannanti – Voidstar
Deep, starless ambient venturing into vast emptiness with subtle tension and cosmic void. Profound and minimal.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 230
Deepstate Light Spark
Based on the track “Rain and Weak Light” by “Twilight Sequence” from the album “Stars of the Wayside”.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A moody, introspective electronic-ambient journey through time, memory, and emotional transition.
Side A builds from dark tension and marching inevitability into vulnerable, cycling emotion. Side B shifts between detached urban energy, melancholic closure, fragile hope, and hazy melancholy before ending on an open, meditative portal.
Overall mood: Melancholic, atmospheric, and subtly hopeful with a blend of urban grit and dreamy detachment. It feels like wandering through rain-soaked streets at dusk into quiet reflection. Perfect for late-night drives, focused listening, or contemplative evenings.
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.

///mute.joke.renting.
Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at the coordinates ///mute.joke.renting—Episode 123 of Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library. A title, a signal, a portal. Drop it into What3Words and you’ll locate the visual echo of this transmission.
The track you’re hearing—“Mute Joke Renting”—isn’t just the name of the episode. It’s the pulse beneath my voice, the gravitational center of today’s journey. Available for pre-order on Bandcamp, already whispering through YouTube, it sets the tone for what’s to come.
Today’s mix is a 90-minute drift through curated frequencies—designed for walking meditations, mental meanderings, and communion with the cosmos. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion.
🌀 Side A opens with Altus’ “Pattern Theory,” followed by KeepSleep’s “complex feelings,” Susumu Yokota’s “Sleepy Eye,” and Anita Tatlow & Applefish’s “Celestial Drift.” Alex Ringess paints landscapes of the soul, while John McBain stretches time with “Fade In Fade Out.” Zavijava Orchestra, Cole Pulice, and Windstar Enterprises guide us through hidden nooks and cosmic breezes. Skeptical Inquirer and Ogle close the side with forest echoes and pond reflections.
🌊 Side B flips the signal with Sven Wunder’s “Misty Shore” and Sandro Brugnolini’s “Africaneìdico.” Trevlad returns with “Area Vent Clutter,” anchoring the mix before Radio Free London’s “At the Edge of Forever” and frostlake’s “Behind Closed Eyes.” Datasal and Rival Consoles bring texture and pulse, while Martin Solos and Cate Le Bon stir the stars. Zeke Clough and Twilight Sequence lead us into the pink forest, followed by Cate Francesca Brooks, Bryan Rohmer, and the trio of Meierkord, Lucchi & Kobak. Corrado Maria De Santis closes the journey with “Entangled Uncertainties.”

Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library 099
Stardust Transmission.
Welcome to Trevor’s Virtual Cassette Library episode 099 A 90-minute journey with a metaphysical flip at the halfway mark—perfect for a long walk, a mental wander, or a quiet moment alone with the universe. Today’s flight is partially sponsored by these labels: Bricolage, Cyclical Dreams, Mortality Tables, Altus Music, Discus Music, and Clay Pipe Music.
As well as these artists who have sent me material: matsu, The Earl of Dean, Larry Toadman, mRn, aeon, Fflwcs, Sankt Otten & Anita Tatlow.
Much love to my Co-Host the poet, the Psychonaut, Nanogod, Panajotis Chatzistefanou, for his visualisations of what’s going on during the episodes.
Special thanks to Free Album Codes—always fueling the episodes with Bandcamp gems. 🙏
Also shout outs to, Edgars Bruvers, MoiCflo, aeon_music, Joulsryan50, and, Snowpong, for the follows, likes and comments.
The A side opens with a super exclusive by Granada Spain duo Kiko & Miguel better known as, matsu. The track Quietud will be their 4th single from their upcoming release Umbral. The album is not due for release until october 2. This single will be officially released on September 18, but you non subscribers can hear it here until the 23 august. The album, Umbral, inhabits that in-between space, that threshold: where what we feel and what we do don’t fully align, where what once felt steady begins to tremble. The release will be accompanied by an 8-part film, with each chapter conceptually interpreting one of the album’s tracks. Together, all eight chapters form a visual entity that shares the name Umbral. The film is directed by filmmaker and artist Héctor Ayuso.
Also a super exclusive from Sergio Mariani, aka, mRn. With the track, Those Purged, Purified And Refined. Only available here on this episode or a short clip on mRns instagram.
The B side contains a little penny whistle exclusive called Away With Troubles And Anxieties! from Paul Dunmalls upcoming album of the same name. Release date: 15th September on Sheffield based label Discus Music.
I won’t be commenting between the tracks. You can join nanogod on the time line. Don’t be shy.
