Cool, sophisticated, and slightly mysterious with a strong retro cinematic flair.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to episode 210 of the Virtual Cassette Library. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. This episode is based on the track “Amber (feat. Itamar Ziegler)” by Ori Kaplan & Lihu Melamed from the stunning upcoming album “Reverie” which drops on the 12th of June via the Batov Records label. Also a massive thank you to Four Flies Records, The Dream Journal Institute, Batov Records and Mystery Circles for sponsoring the episode with material. A stylish, cinematic, and eclectic trip through 70s Italian library grooves, jazz-funk, psychedelic exotica, and warm ambient textures. Side A blends sleazy thriller funk and sunny Mediterranean rhythms with mystical desert drones and playful adventure themes. Side B shifts into nocturnal jazz-funk, delicate minimalism, soulful grooves, and ends with loose, exploratory jazz energy. Overall mood: Cool, sophisticated, and slightly mysterious with a strong retro cinematic flair. It feels like a warm Mediterranean evening that slowly turns into a smoky, late-night jazz club session — groovy, atmospheric, adventurous, and effortlessly stylish. Perfect for cruising, golden-hour listening, or relaxed evening vibes. 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.

Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to episode 208 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 “Night owl dub” by Dubberrookie from the upcoming compilation album “The Mystery of the Night” curated by yours truly. Shout out to all the artists so far to contribute to what’s looking to be a fantastic collection. 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.
