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.

Phormix Podcast #212 Nape

Bloody clouds are gathering over Ukraine. A ruthless enemy is trying to destroy all that we have diligently built all our lives. The enemy has shown his true face, but we are not afraid of him. We are well aware of the weaknesses of our confused neighbor, and we will help them and the world to get rid of this evil. "After Night" It's my feelings and response to what is happening in my country. The funds from the purchase will be fully transferred to help the Ukrainian army. You can help stand up to inhumane aggression.

Embryo Issue #2 comes with new material from Black Zone Myth Chant after underground hits on Editions Gravats and Winged Sun.

Forget what you think you know, this is BZMC at his most visceral and uncompromising, switching out his style of grotty spiritual jazz and industrial footwork, for downer rap wired straight into the dashboard. A DJ Screw mixtape pulled from the tar pits and fed through a matrix of early SPK, Wolf Eyes, Bone Awl, Morgue Tar, The Toll and Bottomfeeder. Freaky music cut loud n nasty. Now worship your new god!!
* Email info(at)naturalsciences.tech for BZMC digital download 
* BZMC plays live at our launch party TOMORROW (16.09) at secret Manchester location.

* Entry is free with purchase of the mag or £5 otd.

State Of The Ether | Episode 12 | Clear Memory Special

Ex.Hale is the brainchild of Italian multi-disciplinary artist Francesco Presotto. 
Ex. Hale’s music is characterised by dark, atmospheric textures that is driven by a modern vision of club music. The project is focused on the deconstruction of common compositional standards with the addition of crushing rhythm structures that establishes the unusual framework of Ex.Hale’s subversive approach. 

With releases on Sonic Groove, Rudiment, and Voidance, in addition to an increasing number of performances in clubs, museums and festivals around Europe, Ex.Hale is has become a formidable force in electronic and experimental music.

Which artists has influenced you the most?

- The artists that influenced me the most in my career were and still are Amon Tobin, Aphex Twin, Miles Davis (especially his “electro” period) and punk & metal.

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- Ex.Hale new album is at master stage (Alessio Barbuzza aka Hålbå is taking care of it) and will be out after Summer, Skøgen (Hålbå and myself) will be out soon on Several Minor Promises and the new experimental project Cocktail Party Effect and myself created few months ago is finally ready and will be out on Festivals this summer. Regarding live Ex.Hale project will be around Europe in some selected Festivals and clubs (can’t say anything at the moment because line-ups are still not announced).

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?

- Hard questions, I’ve too many I’m following. At the moment my favorites names are EKATA, Isabassi, Cocktail Party Effect, Kamikaze Space Programme, IDKLANG and Beatrix Weapon. Label wise for sure PAN, MUTE and Ninja Tune are all time favs but I add also Sonic Groove for the more techno side, Cold Spring for Industrial/post-industrial and Nervous Horizon and Changeless for the more avantgarde club and electronic music.

What inspires you now to create music?

- I guess like most musicians, emotions, what I experience everyday and I transform in music.

What set-up do you use when creating music?

- I redesigned my studio recently and kept it simple, thinking about live performance. So I have an Octatrack as main brain for my setup, some synths, some pedals and a couple of cheap analog mixers to get the right vibes.

Strange But Dance Music #108: Ex.Hale

"...The idea of humanity, when purged of all sentimentality, has the very serious consequence that in one form or another men must assume responsibility for all crimes committed by men and that all nations share the onus of evil committed by all others." Hannah Arendt, Organized Guilt and Universal Responsibility 

Following up on 2022's "Allegories", Insurgency continues its music curation series with "Crimes of the 20th Century". The compilation explores untraditional portrayals of violence and examines relations between industrial music and perceptions of cruelty. The label and its invited musicians intend to oppose the weaponized usage of music by extremist groups; instead, "Crimes of the 20th Century" invites listeners to reflect on collective responsibility for modern atrocity — as it is exhibited by a roster of contemporary experimental artists — within historical and psychological contexts.

Luxus Varta is back on his own label with a new melancholic electro EP.

The four tracks presented here evolve between light and darkness, slowly sliding towards to the most melancholic side, where the surrounding colours become as fragile as crystal.  When the magic happens at dusk, night promises to be inspiring.

'Crystal Dusk' is the fourth release on the artist's label, In Abstracto.

Zapis siedemnastej audycji PLEASURE SERVICE w Radio Kapitał.

KALYMA jest kolorową postacią lawirującą pomiędzy gatunkami. Nie boi się eksperymentów, dlatego łączy ambient z połamanym brzmieniem, przechodząc w świat dubowych odgłosów, gdzie w tle słychać też techno. W muzyce najważniejsza jest dla niej wolność, dlatego coraz mniej przywiązuje wagę do utartych schematów. Jej dźwiękowe materie tworzą przestrzeń do zamyślenia, odczuwania i współodczuwania, a każdy set odpowiada emocjom, jakie gromadzą się w niej w danym momencie.
