“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.
