Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 343

Another reel of the Virtual Cassette Library begins. Twelve tracks, two sides. A virtual cassette that turns itself at the halfway mark, the oxide catching just long enough to mark the seam before the second side continues.
These are not playlists. Each episode is structured as a pair of continuous sets: six tracks on each side, mixed and stitched so the joins sit almost inside the grain. The sequence is the form.
If you make music, run a label, or hold a private archive of material that has not yet found a place, send links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. Every submission is heard.
The episodes remain free for the first week. After that they move into the Mixcloud subscriber archive. Subscribers also receive Veil Frequencies, the ongoing series of three-hour transmissions—extended traversals rather than selections, moving through a curtain of sound that occasionally seems to register the listener in return.
Mind the flip.
A sunset on Venus that trusts the guide, then virga that falls and then thinks better of it.
Side A trusts the guide so the glide is already under way and Venus looks rather pleased, reaches the destination and then politely asks to rewind the last bit, practises the art of being young with the exclusive already warm, lets the echo accept its past with the signature already signed, finds the sprite and the bride both slightly surprised to be in the same room, and accounts for someone who was there in New South Wales. Side B thickens a Finnish mist until it becomes itself, terraces the terrace so thoroughly the cat is already elegant about it, brings the wind from the sea with the sea already agreeing, keeps the world still loved on a kind remaster, cares totally with the ears already filed on the tenth, and lets the virga fall so the third can be the one that stays.
Overall mood: Elegant, and quietly accepted — full of trusted guides, signed acceptances, and thirds that decide to stay. Perfect for dusk listening, open terraces, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Side A
Mood mist: a sunset on Venus that trusts the guide, a destination that prefers to rewind, the art of being young still practising, an echo that has accepted its past, a sprite and a bride found and found again, someone who was there in New South Wales.

Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 320

Hello there, listeners. It’s me. Trevor.
You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve tracks. Two sides. A little plastic ghost that flips itself at the halfway mark, like a polite pancake.
If you make music, or you run a label, or you simply own a shed full of strange noises and would like them filed somewhere warm, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise. I read them with both eyes and, on special occasions, a third one.
The shows stay free for the first week, wandering about with their shoelaces undone. After that they slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes, which in my experience is usually Tuesdays, or during eclipses, or when the kettle boils. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of three-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies, which is less a mixtape and more a long walk through a curtain that may be sentient.
Now. Each of these episodes is a two-part outing, just like the classic cassette. Unlike mixtapes or playlists, these two sides are curated as proper DJ sets, six tracks segued into one continuous mix, stitched together so carefully you can barely see the thread. Unless you look.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Mind the flip.
A sentence that will not finish, then time asked to smile and, for once, agreeing.
Side A never changes to stop, opens doors until a room becomes a corridor, remixes Melody Day until it is handed back still humming, sits in the unfurnished space between, tunes a beautiful place out in the country from a congregation you were invited to, and arrives late to a videotape whose chorus has already been recorded. Side B launches Big Face like a boat, files a sensual woman under mercenary, wants you with the band waiting outside, cruises a street that only exists after the streetlights give up, interviews little fluffy clouds in a West Country accent, and puts a smile on a DJ’s face before keeping the change.
Overall mood: Warm, slightly nostalgic, and gently unfinished — full of souvenirs, velvet ropes left on the floor, and last pages that knew they were last. Perfect for dusk drives, rooms that decide to be corridors, or sitting still while the next spool still waits
Side A
Mood mist: a sentence that will not finish, doors agreeing to open, a day remixed until it smiles, a gap you can sit in, a beautiful place that may be a field recording of a sermon, a tape that knows it is the last song.
00:02:18 The Books – It Never Changes To Stop
https://books.bandcamp.com/track/it-never-changes-to-stop
Album: Lost and Safe. Label: Temporary Residence Ltd.
It never changes to stop. Lost and safe, which is a strange pair of instructions. The sample keeps walking. Temporary Residence lets it.
00:06:20 Maston with L’éclair – The Doors Are Opening
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDgvTx1NIbQ

00:09:21 Caribou – Melody Day (Four Tet Remix)
https://caribouband.bandcamp.com/track/melody-day-four-tet-remix

00:25:10 Radiohead – Videotape
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF83_PR2EsA
Album: In Rainbows.
Videotape. In Rainbows, last page. The chorus you were meant to sing along to has already been recorded. You are late, and that is the point.
Side B
Mood mist: a face launched like a boat, a woman filed under mercenary, a want with the band removed, a cruise that only runs after dark, clouds interviewed and found to be little, time asked to smile and, for once, agreeing.
00:30:32 Plaid & Bob Jaroc – The Launching Of Big Face
https://plaid.bandcamp.com/track/the-launching-of-big-face
Album: Greedy Baby. Label: Warp Records
The launching of Big Face. Greedy Baby sending a portrait out to sea. Warp counting down from a number that isn’t a number.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNfjpmvbQG0
Album: The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld. Label: Big Life
Little fluffy clouds. Rickie Lee talking to the sky, the sky talking back in a West Country accent. Ultraworld, first postcard.
00:49:30 Khruangbin & Felix Dickinson – Time (You and I) (Put a Smile on DJ’s Face Mix)
https://khruangbin.bandcamp.com/track/time-you-and-i-put-a-smile-on-djs-face-mix
Album: Mordechai Remixes. Label: Dead Oceans
Time, you and I. The mix that was asked to put a smile on a DJ’s face, and did, and then kept the change. Dead Oceans closing the case.
This has been The Virtual Cassette Library, episode 320.
Travel safely between the frequencies.
I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 314

Good day, listeners… or should I say, travellers of the tape.
Trevor here. You’ve pressed play on another Virtual Cassette Library. Twelve-track virtual cassettes that flips themselves at the halfway mark.
If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
The shows remain free for the first week, then slip quietly into the hands of my Mixcloud subscribers, who currently have over eleven hundred other episodes waiting for them whenever the mood strikes. Subscribers also receive the expanding series of 3-hour adventures titled Veil Frequencies.
Now imagine each episode as a colossal rotating stage — a great mechanical blooming lotus. You, the audience only ever glimpse a sliver of it at a time. Every artist is allotted the exact time it takes them to perform their piece. Then they rotate out of view, and the next act glides in. The stage spins at whatever speed the track demands.
The names of the artists and labels I’ll mention before each set — or “side,” as the cassette alchemists call them. Six little incantations per set, plus a general mist of what mood to expect.
Now the stage begins to turn.
Roads that remember their own headlights, then loneliness painted in two colours that match the Earth.
Side A drives Mulholland in 1937 with the windows down, borrows names for unknown places the way lungs borrow air, lives in the comma of a virga that never lands, otherizes you into a pleasant hum, steps into a Toronto river that has already left for the lake, and works the grove after hours at the speed of sap.
Side B opens the other six petals: an altostratiform spirit message from Cloud School, Haku drawing a thin white line across Vespera, autumn filing unopened wishes so they can fall unnoticed, a serenade from a field that forgot its stars on purpose, a Brasstown Bridge baptism you did not schedule, and pale blue and white echoing until loneliness looks like a planet.
Overall mood: Contemplative, watery, and quietly migratory — full of Imaginary North hush, Passed Oceans dunkings, and weather that keeps the certificate. Perfect for dusk listening, dry shoes beside the river, or sitting still while the next spool still waits.

Mood mist: roads that remember their own headlights, places without maps, rain that never quite reaches the ground, a buzz turned into a stranger, water that refuses to be the same twice, a grove that works the field after hours.

https://elijahfox1.bandcamp.com/track/mulholland-drive-1937

00:18:37 Willebrant – Grove
https://willebrant.bandcamp.com/track/grove-4
From the album: Fieldworks. Year: 2025
Grove. Fieldworks filed under trees that do not clock off. The stage turns at the speed of sap.

The lotus folds. The other six petals open.
Mood mist: mid-level cloud sending post, dusk wearing a white mask, autumn keeping the unopened envelopes, a field that sings back, a bridge that dunks you anyway, loneliness painted in two colours that match the Earth.
00:24:14 Towering Vertical – Altostratiform Spirit Message

From the album: Cloud School. Label: Relics of the Eternal City, The Dream Journal Institute. Year: 2025

From the compilation album: Passed Oceans. Label: Passed Recordings. Year: 2026

https://driftworks.bandcamp.com/track/pale-blue-and-white
From the album: Echoes of Loneliness. Label: Driftworks. Year: 2026
Loneliness echoing until it looks like a planet seen from too far away. Driftworks closing the spool before the color dries.

I’ll meet you on the other side of the next spool.
Trev’s Virtual Cassette Library 236

Based on the track “Elsewhere (KapTep Pale Blue Dot Remix)” by “M. Cross Dougherty” from the album “Artemis II”.
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 serene and contemplative ambient journey through cosmic space, earthly textures, memory, and natural elements.
Side A floats from ethereal space walks and mystical glades into weathered nostalgia and planetary reflection. Side B grounds the mix with ancient trees, tidal rhythms, and high clouds before ending in warm, fireside comfort.
Overall mood: Peaceful, introspective, and gently melancholic with a strong sense of vastness and quiet beauty. It feels like drifting between inner reflection and outer wonder — perfect for deep relaxation, meditation, or late-night listening.
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.
