Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 328
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 university of unstable knowledge descending, then a jump that knows the trick.
Side A descends a staircase held slightly out of true, lets paper flowers drink the dye until the bloom is already in the fibre, measures sixty metres of disco rhythm, improvises a cello in the nude, scores a short career for three spiders and one fly, and layers images until the clock bends. Side B reaches the edge of the wood and waves you in by further paths, holds a fabric up to the window so not all refracted light is as it seems, collects light patterns in tone studies that wander somewhere welcome, lets children and whales share a pool large enough for both, grass-roots a Chilean forest guardian, and lands the leap exactly where the title meant to.
Overall mood: Contemplative, slightly eccentric, and quietly luminous — full of open staircases, bent clocks, and paths that already know the way in. Perfect for dusk listening, listening parties on the first of November, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.
Side A
Mood mist: a university of unstable knowledge descending, paper flowers drinking the dye, sixty metres of disco rhythm, a cello improvising in the nude, a chamber piece for arachnids and one fly, images layered until time curves.

Curving time. Lo Recordings letting the pictures stack until the clock bends. Title of the hour.
Side B
Mood mist: the edge of a wood, a fabric that bends the light, patterns of light collected and slow, children and whales sharing a suite, a Chilean forest guardian edited for grass roots, a jump that knows the trick.
00:28:10 Oberlin – Waldesrand
https://oberlin.bandcamp.com/track/waldesrand

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 148
27 November 2025
“Evening all. Episode one-four-eight of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Cook Hobble Recruited. That’s the track you can hear underneath, and, oddly enough, it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—up on YouTube if you’re curious.”
“I’m Trevor. Bringing you ninety minutes, two virtual sides, forty-five minutes each. Fifteen tracks per set. No chatter, no interruptions. Just the music, rolling on like a festival stage that turns—one act fading, another coming into view.” This episode has an exclusive track Karesansui by Wellington, New Zealand based artist CZiGO. Karesansui means “dry landscape” or “dry mountain water” and refers to a minimalist style of Japanese garden that uses rocks, gravel, and sand to represent natural landscapes like mountains, islands, and rivers without any water. These gardens, often found in Zen Buddhist temples, are designed for contemplation and meditation, symbolizing natural elements through careful arrangement and raked gravel patterns that mimic water. Karesansui is from the upcoming album Techno Feudal which drops December 12 on Machine Records.
” New friends joining us this episode like, Übung, Elastic colors, WarpCensor and Dissociative Identity Quartet. Also familiar names including, Future Children, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan, Robert Rich, and, Oceanographer. Labels like Cyclical Dreams, Mahorka, I Low You Records, Astra Solaria Recordings, Buried Treasure, Adventurous Music, Imaginary North, Castles in Space and more keeping the whole thing alive. They’re the soul of the show, really.”

I’m Trevor and I curate these 90-minute genre bending drifts through frequencies from around the globe. No commentary. No interruptions. Just pure sonic immersion. Two, 45 minute mixes, 15 tracks per side with a side change in the middle.
Picture the listening experience like being at a music festival where the artists play on a rotating stage. Each act is allotted the time for their piece and as it ends the next act takes over rotating into view.
Styles for this episode include cinematic soundscapes, space music, vaporwave, free jazz, dungeon synth and many more. The musical keys in focus are G and E minor.
Today’s outing contains an exclusive track from Italian artist M. Beckmann a.k.a. The Volume Settings Folder with a track from upcoming album Corporate Shamanism dropping on the 22nd of November via the unsurpassed whitelabrecs label.
