Coming from a background of drumming in various punk bands, Severin Black under the moniker Nape has for the last few years been forcing rhythms into their most self-deprecating fissures. With four EPs and a 7" out on labels run by the likes of Strahinja Arbutina, Spiderwrap and DJ Valentimes, his next release will be a stripped back modular exercise on Nick Klein's Psychic Liberation imprint later this year.

This hour-long contribution to us is an attempt to represent Severin's simultaneous anxiety and euphoria experienced whilst making it from his living room in Peckham, London. It contains tracks by Loose-y Crunché, Beau Wanzer, Ekaterina Bazhenova-Yamasaki, Isabella, Robert Wyatt and Acidic Male among others, as well as an unreleased Nape track not yet given a home.
