Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 324
Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes, which in my experience is usually Tuesdays, or during eclipses, or when the kettle boils. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread. Unless you look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A water lily at a threshold, then a seven that has already shifted south.
Side A opens the door on a nymphaea before the official date, shares fear, rage and love in under a minute, walks the warm marble of a city still standing in the name, lets the wind keep both hands in its pockets and still carry you, files roots under a clause, and blushes a 1970 library record with the flute still warm. Side B marries a rope to itself, lets undesignated buildings prefer to meet, studies a field still learning the season, treats the tuning as the piece, lets the night accept the fire, and turns seven toward the warmer wall.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly tender, and quietly architectural — full of thresholds, pencil blueprints, and gardens that leave the gate open. Perfect for dusk listening, fields still learning the season, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Mood mist: a water lily at a threshold, three feelings in under a minute, a city of marble still standing in the name, a wind that kept us, roots under a clause, a library record blushing in 1970.
00:02:18 (Exclusive) Corrado Saija and Elia Piana – Nymphaea II
https://driftworks.bandcamp.com/
Album: Limen. Label: Driftworks Full release – Friday 16th October

00:09:01 Still & JRNDM – EFESO
https://pablosanguinetti.bandcamp.com/track/efeso
Ephesus, the marble still warm in the name. A library of columns, and the groove walking between them.
00:11:56 Scholars of the Peak & Warmfield – The Way the Wind Held Us
https://warmfield.bandcamp.com/track/the-way-the-wind-held-us
Single: The Way the Wind Held Us.

00:15:05 Subordinate Clause – Cafraster
https://meansmag.bandcamp.com/track/cafraster
Album: MEANS 7: Grass Roots. Label: MEANS
Grass roots, the clause under the sentence. MEANS filing the soil with the syntax.

https://fourfliesrecords.bandcamp.com/track/erotica
Album: Erotica 70. Label: Four Flies Records
Seventy, restored. Four Flies lifting the velvet and finding the flute still warm.
Mood mist: a rope married to itself, buildings that prefer to meet, a field still learning the season, a tuning that is the piece, a night glad of the flame, a seven that has already shifted south.
00:23:10 Nickolas Mohanna – Eye Splice
https://nickolasmohanna.bandcamp.com/track/eye-splice
Album: Whistler.
The knot that lets a rope become its own companion. Whistler, the note you hear when the air is pleased.

https://theastralrealms.bandcamp.com/track/formations-and-collisions
Album: Undesignated. Label: The Dream Journal Institute

00:48:46 Ótal – Tuning Study
https://thejewelgarden.bandcamp.com/track/tuning-study

https://sermakmusic.bandcamp.com/track/seven

Southern shift, the number already facing the warmer wall. Sermak keeping the count.
This has been The Virtual Cassette Library, episode 323.
Travel safely between the frequencies.
I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 219
Pinwheel Platina Devices
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 cerebral and atmospheric ambient journey exploring mathematics, time, memory, and retro-futurism.
Side A focuses on intricate, conceptual electronics — fractal patterns, phantom signals, and philosophical reflection with a subtle undercurrent of melancholy. Side B expands into hauntological textures, time-warping analogue synths, nostalgic library sounds, and ends with dramatic tension.
Overall mood: Mysterious, introspective, and slightly uncanny. It blends intellectual minimalism with warm analogue nostalgia and a touch of unease. Ideal for deep listening, late-night drives, or focused background immersion. The mix has a strong sense of quiet wonder mixed with temporal drift.
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.
