Shura's shared "The Space Tapes", a lengthy exploration of synths, beats, samples, and production, and its accompanying visuals.

The track appears towards the end of long-awaited debut album Nothing's Real, and joins up with the Talib Kweli and Four Tet edits of "Touch" in teasing the LP.

Shura's also winged the track up to astronaut Tim Peake to celebrate his birthday:
