Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 233
Amber Safe Byway
Based on the track “Amber (feat. Itamar Ziegler)” by “Ori Kaplan & Lihu Melamed” from the album “Reverie”.
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 stylish, sun-drenched cinematic journey through groovy library music, psychedelic jazz-funk, exotica, and global grooves.
Side A cruises with vibrant Italian 70s energy, Mediterranean breeziness, and adventurous desert psych. Side B deepens into darker cinematic funk, liquid dreaminess, and occult-tinged grooves before ending on warm, swinging elegance.
Overall mood: Warm, nostalgic, playful, and sophisticated with a strong retro-cinematic flair. Feels like a golden-hour drive along the coast or a smoky late-night lounge session. Highly groovy and immersive.
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.
