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.
00:00:00 The Eyes and the Mistoids – The Neolithic Period Atmospheric electronic piece evoking ancient, misty landscapes. It blends subtle experimental textures with a haunting, prehistoric feel, fitting the artist’s weirdly beautiful electronic style on Waxing Crescent Records. 00:06:26 Spooqs – Prosopon (Demo) Dreamy electronic impressionism from Asheville-based artist Spooqs. Moody, instrumental soundscapes designed for imaginary spaces, with fluid, introspective vibes from a 2026 mixtape. 00:07:51 Ryan J Raffa & Sam Prekop / Wavefiler – Wavefiler – Sum Dance Synth-driven track from the Area Flood split, inspired by Milwaukee’s historic flooding. It captures nature’s power through rhythmic, communal electronic grooves and atmospheric synth work. 00:10:14 The New Human – Proximity Mantra Hypnotic, mantra-like electronic composition with intimate, repetitive motifs. It explores closeness and sonic meditation on Glasgow’s Bricolage label. 00:12:47 Payta – Soul Connection Also on Bricolage, warm, flowing electronic track from the Samsara album. It emphasizes spiritual or emotional linkage through textured, underground beats and melodic layers. 00:15:04 Urban Meditation – Pale Blue Dot Ambient/trance-infused piece reflecting on Carl Sagan’s famous view of Earth. It blends IDM, neo-classical, and spacey atmospheres for a contemplative, cosmic journey. 00:23:03 Andrea Castiglioni – Somewhere on Earth Stories from Far Away Places Cinematic, documentary-style ambient/electronic track. It paints evocative, worldly sound narratives with gentle melodies and distant, storytelling textures. 00:25:51 Biogen – Lost Melancholic IDM/electronic cut from an Icelandic ambient techno compilation. It features drifting, emotional layers that capture a sense of disorientation and introspection. 00:29:51 Fallen – A Scented Signal of Decadence Darkly atmospheric ambient/electronica with IDM and chillout elements. It conjures luxurious decay through textured, immersive sound design from Italian artist The Child of A Creek/Fallen. 00:31:53 Orghanon – Tame Restrained yet dynamic electronic work from the Future in Motion album. It balances controlled rhythms with evolving, organic textures in a thoughtful ambient/IDM style. 00:36:01 Wilks – Break The Cycle Driving track with focused beats and atmospheric depth. It delivers a sense of urgency and renewal from the Left Hand Drive EP. 00:40:11 Ellis Clasper – Auriel Gentle, atmospheric electronic opener from the Periapsis album. It features delicate textures and introspective melodies, showcasing the UK artist’s subtle, emotionally resonant style on Waxing Crescent Records 00:42:16 CIALYN – Tolbiac Garden Floor Dreamy, short-wave-inspired electronica from the 2016 album A Night Of A Short Wave Listener. It evokes mysterious, nocturnal garden atmospheres with soft, nostalgic synth layers and a hazy, lo-fi feel from the French artist. 00:45:56 Sick Robot – Journey to Mars Retro-futuristic synth track from the A Field In Yorkshire album. It blends warm analog tones with a sense of cosmic exploration and electronic propulsion, characteristic of the Sunderland-based producer’s playful, IDM-tinged style. 00:49:55 Time Rival – Wax Delights Short, shimmering electronic piece from Reaction Vol. 3. It delivers crisp, cross-genre textures with ambient and electroacoustic elements, reflecting the Chicago-area artist’s experimental yet accessible approach.
