Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 233
Amber Safe Byway
Based on the track “Amber (feat. Itamar Ziegler)” by “Ori Kaplan & Lihu Melamed” from the album “Reverie”.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here.
Welcome to the Virtual Cassette Library. A 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark.
A stylish, sun-drenched cinematic journey through groovy library music, psychedelic jazz-funk, exotica, and global grooves.
Side A cruises with vibrant Italian 70s energy, Mediterranean breeziness, and adventurous desert psych. Side B deepens into darker cinematic funk, liquid dreaminess, and occult-tinged grooves before ending on warm, swinging elegance.
Overall mood: Warm, nostalgic, playful, and sophisticated with a strong retro-cinematic flair. Feels like a golden-hour drive along the coast or a smoky late-night lounge session. Highly groovy and immersive.
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.
So settle in, turn it up a bit, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome, sonic wanderers. You’ve arrived at Episode 136 of The Virtual Cassette Library.
Isolated Elastic Ripples is the episodes subtitle, as well as the track you’re hearing in the background and it’s geographical location which I’ve filmed and can be experienced on YouTube.

Picture the listening experience like being at a music festival where the artists play on a rotating stage. Each act is allotted the time for their piece and as it ends the next act takes over rotating into view.
Styles for this episode range from microtonal to techno, from electronica to psychedelic soul. The musical keys in focus are D major and B minor.
This episode contains three tracks you’ve probably never heard before. from the soundtrack to the 22 collected essays Die Verschiebung der Zeit by Corina Retzlaff. I play the track Der Zeitgeist by Hendekagon available through Adventurous Music. this is followed by no stranger to the channel Greek artist Kostas Giazlas, better known as, Onepointwo, with the track, Shadow Dance from his album Melodies dropping on the 28th of November via Subexotic Records. The third exclusive track is by Dan Bean and is called Keine Bin from his upcoming album Bassduets dropping on the London based label which Dan himself curates Old Technology. Other labels and artists worth mentioning are Misha Panfilov who I saw last night here in Stockholm. Cheers Misha and crew for a wonderful gig, also Cyclical Dreams, Fragile X, Projekt Records, mRn, Mahorka Records, Bit Cloudy, Paul Beaudoin, Everyday Dust, DRONARIVM, Bathysphere Records, and, Mirai No Hagaki.
