Archaic Vaults presents: oxhy + Severin Black + Zeynep Ağcabay (dj)

OXHY

OXHY is London producer Oscar Khan, founder of XQUISITE and a longstanding presence in the city’s experimental underground. His work moves between gothic sound design, leftfield club music and more melodic, song-based forms, from the 2021 LP Woodland Dance to the 2025 album the names of god. He has collaborated with artists including Yves Tumor and Felix Lee, while recent releases have also featured Crystallmess, Susu Laroche, Heith and James K.

Severin Black

Running the experimental label and event series Archaic Vaults, Severin Black has been forming a worldwide community around marginal music since 2020. Their live practice centres around the sonic spectrums of ethereality and dissonance, primarily using woodwind and feedback improvisation. This has led to collaborations with Pavel Milyakov, Flora Yin-Wong, Alex Zhang Hungtai, Vanessa Bedoret, Chantal Michelle and Owen Pratt, performing in spaces such as the ICA (London), Volksbühne Theater (Berlin), Le Poisson Rouge (New York), Mission To Seafarers (Melbourne) and on a giant pipe organ in a north-east London church.

For this event, there will be a one-off performance of Severin Black's Country Music featuring special guests.

Zeynep Ağcabay

Originally from Istanbul, Zeynep will be presenting their first body of work since becoming a Naturalized British Citizen. A departure from their previous releases, ‘Ancestral Ground’ on Berlin/London based label Archaic Vaults, ‘Memories of the Future’ on London based label Scorpio Red, and 'Another Sky Cassette' on Cafe Oto's very own OTOROKU, Zeynep is exploring more universal themes like love, loss, desire, time and faith with a sound that is deeply rooted in nostalgia for 90's trip-hop and alt-pop genres.
