Also a massive thank you to Rural District Lo-Fi Recording Project, Discus Music, Subexotic Records, Dubberrookie for sponsoring the channel with material.
An adventurous, psychedelic, and atmospheric journey through experimental electronics, cosmic jazz, hauntology, and deep dub.
Side A moves from playful lo-fi quirkiness and cerebral intensity into vast cosmic expanses, ancient drones, acid-tinged mysticism, and faded derelict nostalgia. Side B drifts into dreamy Japanese psych, precise minimalism, warm organic calm, and closes with smoky late-night dub.
Overall mood: Mysterious, expansive, and slightly mind-altering. It has a nocturnal, otherworldly feel — equal parts cosmic wonder, gentle unease, and deep relaxation. Ideal for late-night listening, focused immersion, or psychedelic headspace sessions.

Library Music
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the new Virtual Cassette Library – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that sets the tone for the set. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. If and when I get a couple more subscribers then I’ll go back to doing 90 minute versions, complete with commentary.
This episode is based on the track “They Are Coming Back! (Possibly Maybe)” by friend of the channel Uncle Fido. Available through his alter ego Binaural Space. Dropped May 1.
If you make music 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.
And if you’re enjoying the channel, please consider subscribing — even if it’s just for a month, it makes a real difference.
So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
No breaks, just the music.
