Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 143 of The Virtual Cassette Library. Plank Glides Enigma is the episodes subtitle, as well as the track you’re hearing in the background and its geographical location which I’ve filmed and can be experienced on YouTube. 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 set with a side change half way. Imagine the listening experience like being at a music festival where the artists play on a rotating stage. Each act is allotted time for their piece and as it ends the next act takes over rotating into view. Styles for this episode range from beats to nature, from funk to new classical. The musical keys in focus are G sharp / A flat and F minor. In this episode we’re joined by some new friends of the channel like Sævar Jóhannsson and Red Stars Over Tokyo. As well as some familiar names like THE GAYE DEVICE, Mike Dickinson and Listening Center as well as supporting labels like Cyclical Dreams, Buried Treasure, Moolakii Club Audio Interface, Ingrown Records, Mahorka, Castles in Space and many more.
