Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 202

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to episode 202 of the 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 “Café Frappé” by Bolbec. Available on the amazing library music inspired album “Foutu Félin”. Released May 8 on the wonderful channel supporting Batov Records.
This Mix is a vibrant, retro-flavoured journey through 70s library inspired music, cinematic funk, psychedelic grooves, and dusty Balearic electronics.
Side A moves from playful alpine funk and sunny Tahitian exotica into hypnotic desert psych and cruising electronic energy. Side B shifts into raw dusty beats, warped library psychedelia, Ethiopian-jazz tension, and motorik drive before closing on a haunting ambient note.
Overall mood: Sunny, groovy, slightly sleazy, and cinematic with strong 70s/80s library nostalgia. Playful yet atmospheric — perfect for warm evenings, road trips, or crate-digging sessions. Energetic in places but never loses its cool, hazy charm.
I’ve been getting loads of material during the week so I’ve decided to add this segment called “Shout outs from The Inbox”
Which go to Dave Clarkson, Sick Robot, Exit Chamber, Audio Obscura, Stray Wool and Linear North. As well as channel supporting labels Batov Records, Castles in Space, See Blue Audio, Mortality Tables, Clay Pipe Music, Discus Music, whitelabrecs and Synonym Music. Also promotional champions fonodroom and free album codes.
This episode contains music from Castle If, HDRF, Mike Dickinson, Piero Umiliani, Pulselovers and many more.

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, if you can, subscribe — even if it’s just for a month. I put in the work you could buy me the equivalent of 18% of a coffee. As it stands I’m 1 subscriber short of myself or the artists getting anything.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
No breaks, just the music.

///bothered.sugars.expert

“Greetings all. Episode one-five-three of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Bothered Sugars Expert. That’s the track you hear underneath, and it’s also a location you can find on a map. I filmed it—it’s up on YouTube if you’re curious.
I’m Trevor, and I present to you ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. You’ll hear Downscope on Unexplained Sounds Group, Blank Thomas from Third Kind Records, and Akasha System shaping haunted atmospheres. Bobby Freex appears via Buried Treasure, Ursula’s Cartridges on Ingrown, and Mick Chillage with Astronomy for Beginners. Later, International Debris, Bluff Creek, Hari Maia on Cyclical Dreams, and my own track Probing Softest Update drift into view. Aphex Twin, To Rococo Rot, and Nigel Mullaney carry us deeper into the resonance.
Labels orbiting here include Mahorka, Shimmering Moods, and Adventurous Music. Styles range from ambient and drone to electroacoustic, kosmische, and experimental jazz. These transmissions stretch across places—London, Toronto, Melbourne, and Rouen—woven into the library’s signal.
The eighth TVCL album is on Bandcamp for pre‑order—it drops when we hit sixteen tracks. Remember, every comment, every like, every subscription keeps the frequencies flowing. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.
