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.

00:00:00 Dressel Amorosi – Skipass
Bouncy, snowy library funk with playful percussion and retro alpine groove. Light-hearted and energetic.

High-octane, motor-sport synthwave with racing adrenaline and retro 80s drive.
