Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 267. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. 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 leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps. A stylish, cinematic journey through hauntology, Italian library grooves, cosmic jazz, and dusty intrigue. Side A offers ceremonial nostalgia, Arabian adventure, 1970s modernism, and space-age elegance. Side B shifts into psychedelic funk, flowing calm, low-orbit jazz, conspiratorial dust, fiery intensity, and extraction drama. Overall mood: Retro-cinematic, groovy, and atmospheric — blending playful sophistication with subtle mystery. Perfect for golden-hour listening, stylish drives, or immersive evening sessions. I’ll introduce Side A now and Side B in the intermission. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few Mixcloud subscribers who get to enjoy the 1 091 other shows whenever they like. As a subscriber you also get access to my new series Veil Frequencies based on a fictional world I’ve created called The Resonant Veil Enclave. Each episode is around three hours and recorded from one of the floors of the 24 buildings in the veil. You can read about it on my Substack page. Mixcloud subscribers also get the ever expanding version of the upcoming compilation titled Quiet Figures. If I mention the labels Four Flies Records, ATA Records, Batov Records, Buried Treasure or Sonor Music Editions you’ll instantly get the vibe for this episode. A cinematic journey through hauntology, Italian library grooves, cosmic jazz, and dusty intrigue. On this TVCL episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by the hypnotic sequencing of Italian artist Giuliano Sorgini, in the track “Arabian Safari” from the 7” single titled “Savana Selvaggia” available through Four Flies Records. Followed by friends of the show and one of my all time favourite outfits “The Twelve Hour Foundation” and the super recognisable retro moog sounds of their track “Roissy 1977” which is taken from the final Undulating Waters compilation, and Woodford Halses 100th release. Get it. Then Sarnia, Ontario based “EKT” with a groovy synth outing in the piece “Pioneer Plaque” from a 32 track album called “Pura Vida” A fascinating release where almost all the tracks have super psychedelic videos. The album is also free to anyone who sends a screenshot or photo proof of them deleting Spotify and/or any social media app. The penultimate track of the first side of the virtual cassette is by Eric Wetherell and the theme from the 1975 HTV series “Sky”. The shortest track of the episode at just 47 seconds. Suggestive and eerie. From the well sold out Album “Sky” on the Buried Treasure label. Finishing off the first half, we go one year earlier with a track by Milan based Barigozzi Group and a bouncing library jazz track complete with cowbell from 1974 titled “Violet Lips” from the album Woman’s Colours where all the track names are a specific colour combined with a different part of the body. But first, to set the vibe is the outstanding Jim Jupp aka Belbury Poly and the psychedelic organ infused track “Scarlet Ceremony” from his album “The Owl’s Map” which was originally released back in 2006 on the Ghost Box label. Now 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.
Welcome sonic travellers to the B side. Six tracks down and six to go. You’ll hear Lee Spreadbury better known as Gurulee and his wonderfully nostalgic prog-fusion jazz waltz infected track “Flo” from the EP “Into the Light” which is recorded at ATA Studios. Followed by a group of artists that have probably sneaked their way into this episode in a few ways. Here is Leeds based, Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble, with the downtempo, sexy, flute injected, library piece titled “Low Orbit” from the album “The Kármán Line” which is out on ATA Records. After that Nitzan Dana also known as Islands On Tape with a downtempo, hypnotic, cinematic and rimshot heavy piece “Dust Conspiracy” from the EP of the same name. Dropping October 16th on Batov Records. Then the penultimate track for today comes in the form of the psychedelic jazz-funk grooves of Italys Atabasca and the track “Hell Dorado”. Grab one of the last vinyls of the self titled album on Killer Grooves Records. Finishing us off is the label that is also a band, Leeds based, “ATA Records” with a party lifter complete with handclaps and bongos in the track, “The Galata Extraction” from the must have album “The Library Archive Vol. 4” But first, Miles Newbold who, I believe is the entire ensemble of The Natural Yogurt Band, with the busy, neo-library, psychedelic track titled “On The Other Side”. Get a vinyl copy of the album “Parasol” from Sonor Music Editions. Enjoy…

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. Episode 260. A 12 track virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. 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 leave a tip and subscribe to the Mixcloud channel every little helps. A groovy, cinematic, and eclectic journey blending indie folk introspection, global psychedelic funk, French electronic cool, post-rock elegance, and atmospheric psychedelia. Side A cruises through cosmic weight, mechanical playfulness, and sun-drenched grooves. Side B percolates with jazzy structures, vaporous textures, and sleek professionalism before ending on a pointed, trippy note. Overall mood: Stylish, nostalgic, and transportive with a strong retro-cinematic flair—warm, hypnotic, and playfully sophisticated. Perfect for golden-hour drives, late-night listening, or stylish background grooves. I’ve gone back to doing more podcast style episodes but I’ll do all the talking now in the intro as I’ve put a lot of love into making seamless segued mixes. There is just one break halfway through the episode to give the “virtual cassette” title a meaning. The shows are free for the first week and then go to my very few subscribers who get to enjoy the 260 episodes plus the 822 other shows whenever they like all for the price of… I actually don’t know what you can buy for 3 quid. It used to be a coffee. This episode is inspired by the key of G minor and based on the amazing retro synth runs of “A Study In Vapors” by “Bluetech” from a release that’s in my top 5 of the year so far “Petite Constellations”. Every tenth episode I do a best of show. So all these tracks have probably been featured by me over the years and have a special place, for me, in some way. On this episode you’ll be aurally pleasured by Berlin based legends To Rococo Rot with a track simply called “cars”. Originally released on the 1999 album “The Amateur View” which should be in everyone’s collection. Naples based group Psyché grab our hips with “Cumbia Mahàre” from their debut Four Flies Records, self titled, 2023 release. Then a trio that have infected me over the past few years, Khruangbin, here joined by the vocal stylings of Leon Bridges in the track “Chocolate Hills” from their 2022 EP Texas Moon. After that Vincent Taeger aka Tiger Tigre together with, well, himself, in the track “Sport Mécanique” which takes me back to my childhood. My parents watch all sports on tv and this just puts me in that world of 80s sports jingles. It’s taken from the compilation album “ERR REC Library Vol.4 Physical Activity” from 2023. Ending the A side is the Los Angeles, California based roots reggae infected Pachy García aka Pachyman and the track “Sunset Sound” from the album “The Return of…” released in 2021. Starting off Side B with Vienna, Austria based synth maestro Dorian Concept and the track “Eigendynamik (Elevator Version)” from the 2020 album “The Jitters”. Followed by my favourite Stockholm based artist of recent years Joel Danell better known as Sven Wunder. Here with the piece “Pop-Jazz Structures”. Every one of Joels tracks puts me in a happy space. This is from his 2023 album “Late Again”. Then anyone who has followed the channel knows that I love odd time signatures and the track “Percolator” is in 5/8 and is by the one of a kind originals Stereolab. Taken from the 2025 album “Emperor Tomato Ketchup”. This leads into the featured Seattle, Washington based, Evan Bartholomew, better known as, Bluetech track “A Study In Vapors”. Then the penultimate piece for today comes in the form of one of my all time go to artists Air with the track “Les Professionnels” from their debut 1997 EP Premiers Symptômes. Finishing us off is Salvia Plath aka RUN DMT with nostalgic samples over a hypnotic acoustic guitar line in the track “Money” from the 2009 album BONG VOYAGE. But first, to set the vibe is New Zealand based folk tinged artist whose voice just grips me Aldous Harding with the song “Weight of the Planets” from her fantastic third album “Designer” from 2019. Labels to be mentioned are 4AD UK, City Slang, Four Flies Records, Dead Oceans, ERR REC, ATO, Brainfeeder, Piano Piano Records, Warp Records, Behind The Sky Music, DiN and Virgin Records.

Hey everyone… Trevor here, welcome. I’ve always wanted to be a café DJ — you know, the kind who reads the room, feels the energy, and lets the music flow with whatever vibe the people bring in that day. Life took me down so many beautiful roads, but this particular dream… well, it’s still waiting to come true. So today, I’m bringing a little piece of that dream right here for you. This is my series of café and lounge-flavoured sounds — smooth, soulful grooves made for chilling, for unwinding, for good conversations and even better silences. Whether you’re sipping coffee, working on your laptop, curled up on the couch, or just needing a moment to breathe… Let these tracks wrap around you like warm sunlight through the café window. You’re listening to Trev’s Virtual Café. Pull up a seat… and let’s chill.
Virtual 90 minute mixtapes for the sonically adventurous. 30 artists, two 45 minute sets. A spoken intro followed by music only show. Drops about three times a week. No schedule, just a passion for independent music.
“Hello, Trevor here, and this is episode one‑six‑three of the Virtual Cassette Library. Today’s theme is Vent Making Diverts—which, as usual, is both the track you’re hearing underneath and a location you can find on a map, if you’re the sort who enjoys chasing coordinates on What3Words. We’ve got ninety minutes ahead—two sides, fifteen tracks each. Some names you’ll know, some you won’t, and that’s half the fun. On the A side there’s an unreleased track by myself which can only be heard here—so if you’re collecting the oddities and outliers, this one’s for you. On the B side, we’ve got an exclusive from Mist Signals—Someday Soon—taken from the upcoming Whitelabrecs compilation Sleeplaboratory6.0, which drops on the 17th of January to celebrate the label’s tenth anniversary. A decade of quiet experiments, soft-focus soundscapes, and late-night headphone magic. Now then, starting back on episode 156, there’s a little cipher game running through the series. Each episode, during the intermission, you’ll hear a number. Scribble it down. After ten episodes, you’ll have the full sequence. Put the pieces together, crack the cipher, and you’ll unlock a code that knocks ninety‑five percent off anything on my Bandcamp page. Which means you can scoop up the whole discography for about two quid. It’s not meant to be difficult—just enough to keep you awake at night wondering if you’ll get it right. The rest of the show drifts through funk, Idm, ambient drift, modular murmurs, rare views, puddles, mythology, and the occasional monkey. The sort of thing you might stumble across late at night on a shortwave dial, wondering if you imagined it. So—headphones on, let time dissolve, and let the music claim you.”
“Greetings all. Episode one-five-four of the Virtual Cassette Library. Subtitled Decide Views Packages. 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, presenting ninety minutes, two virtual sides, fifteen tracks each. Tonight you’ll hear Ranga on Secuencias Temporales, Augen from Womblabel, and FernLodge via Unexplained Sounds Group. Mark Barrott with Norma Winstone and Leo Taylor bring a celestial touch, while Steve Hauschildt and Martin Stürtzer stretch into kosmische and deep ambient zones. On the B side, Dolphins of Venice on Mahorka, Ekoplekz, Portland Vows, and my own track Project Admire Spreads drift through the signal. Jah Wobble, Kid Spatula, and Pyramids of Phobos add echoes of spoken word, IDM, and hauntological soundscapes. Labels orbiting here include Adventurous Music, Cyclical Dreams, Third Kind Records, Wormhole World, and Balmat. Styles range from ambient and deep techno to ritual electronics, kosmische, jazz-funk, and experimental sound art. These transmissions stretch across places—Mexico City, Lisbon, Leipzig, Glasgow, and Uppsala—woven into the resonance of the library.

The A side opens with a super exclusive by Granada Spain duo Kiko & Miguel better known as, matsu. The track Quietud will be their 4th single from their upcoming release Umbral. The album is not due for release until october 2. This single will be officially released on September 18, but you non subscribers can hear it here until the 23 august. The album, Umbral, inhabits that in-between space, that threshold: where what we feel and what we do don’t fully align, where what once felt steady begins to tremble. The release will be accompanied by an 8-part film, with each chapter conceptually interpreting one of the album’s tracks. Together, all eight chapters form a visual entity that shares the name Umbral. The film is directed by filmmaker and artist Héctor Ayuso. Also a super exclusive from Sergio Mariani, aka, mRn. With the track, Those Purged, Purified And Refined. Only available here on this episode or a short clip on mRns instagram.
The B side contains a little penny whistle exclusive called Away With Troubles And Anxieties! from Paul Dunmalls upcoming album of the same name. Release date: 15th September on Sheffield based label Discus Music.
