Good day to you listeners, wherever you are. This is Trevor. Welcome once again to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set itself. This episode titled Lost Dance Mantra is based on the track Sum Dance by Steve Zydek aka Wavefiler, from the split EP Area Flood, which comes out on May 15 via a label very dear to me Mystery Circles. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe. So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it. If you can subscribe, even if it’s just for the month it would be a great help. Right then… here we go.
