Echoes from Okavango

Premiere: Vardae - Mirage [BNJ007]

Spekki Webu, introflexive cartographer and antimatter conduit, pares back reality for Seismic’s first entry. Patiently arranging meticulous space, complex parts groan and clatter, hushed by whistling icy cosmic winds rising into intense pensive tension. Gargantuan crystalline components inscribed with strange, detailed petroglyphs whirl in mid air, as the cosmic gale whistles around – the slow walls raise without a sound, trapping space and transporting all inwards to nothing and on.

Setting pace with ‘iii9’, we’re brought to the ethereal atmospherics which ache and spasm under the shimmer. Rhythm emerges, offbeat and gated – a lolloping pulse revealed in negative. Pensive harmonics and phasing growls draw out the space and layers, tripping over (into) and unlocking new frenetic pools of energy before the polyrhythms lock, harnessing the pressure.

‘Neurobender’ emerges from dark ambient fog, glowering shifting shades which creak and shudder. Splashes of higher frequency radio static under lean, stretched harmonics. Then a tone almost human, guided by a glitched dubby nod; kicks and clicks ringing off into forever.

Then the titular ‘Kept In Reality’; back up to gallop, the atmosphere thinner here – urgency, a direct transmission about transformation and purpose. Wormhole flow, thrumming interstellar velocity with guttural bass loom and whispering fuzz, the edges notched by the echoed clanks.

Closing with ‘Vessel (Detached Edit)’, which brings new density of layered, warped sonics. Stretched over minor chimes and pads, blossoming growls belie stomping, chattering squalls with sprays of reverb-mist.

The new mutation of Seismic’s transportive event series into record label is marked with Spekki Webu’s ‘Kept in Reality EP’; collecting shadowy, industrial atmospherics and illbient, Spekki taps the frayed and raw fringes of deep tekno and proto-goa to explore charged rhythmic noise – plotting somewhere between early deep cerebellum strokes for unreal assemblies.

BCCO Premiere: Spekki Webu - iii9 [SEISMIC001]

It’s time to embark on the next chapter of extra-terrestrial worldbuilding - the second instalment of Seismic Records is here. Stepping in is sonic explorer Pyramid of Knowledge a.k.a. K.O.P 32. Based in Seoul but born and raised in France, the Beyond The Bridge label head is blending his Tekno roots with an introspective approach to music, carving out a trademark sound led by pensive rhythms and psychedelic atmospheres. With fierce precision and spellbinding force - you’re invited to explore the unknown depths of your psyche as you enter the state of ‘Fusion’.
In all its ominous grace, the journey takes off with ‘CFU’. A kaleidoscope-esque acid ritual is guided by subtle yet uptempo kicks, lifting us into the first phase of the cleansing. Followed by ‘Xer’, where an ancient chant introduces the next dimension of consciousness-expansion. The progression of energy tells us that the higher powers have bigger plans for us - a phase that is entered on the B-side. ‘TV’ surges in tempo and raises blood pressure with an annihilating paradox of the calm and the chaotic. For those who managed to withstand all phases of the occult test, reconciliation is near as ‘Yrots’ strikes down with a mind-warping drum workout for the body and soul.
Enter the heart of a psychedelic odyssey and swirl into the labyrinthine pathways of your ego as you enter the Fusion by K.O.P. 32.

OW9 GUI & Adhi - Katha Manjari

On their inaugural EP for Omen Wapta, GUI and Adhi take on a monastic task. Over the course of five accelerating tracks, they pull ritual practices out of the communal environment and into a solitary headspace.

‘Katha Manjari’ embodies a voyage that connects the mere twenty centimeter diameter of the human head and its contents to metaphysical realms of extradimensional proportions. Throughout the EP’s runtime, you’re met with various non-ordinary modes of reality and lucidity. From the dreamstate of ‘Turiya’ all the way through to the heavy flow of subconsciousness that is ‘Deras’.

These cathartic states of mind contain nods to many different traditions, for you to unpack. Heritage percussive instruments are met with resituated samples, decontextualized field recordings and the sonic properties of different fundamental states of matter–solid, liquid, gas, plasma. Drip sounds become rhythm, sonic smoke particles become resonant ambience, electrically charged glitches become the energy transistor of a track.

The project’s rhythms and timbres hint at ancient group ceremonies, with canonized chants sweeping around the sonic spectrum and different drum sequences syncopating, drifting apart and realigning. The overwhelming feeling that lingers, however, is that this experience is one powered by your own cognition, whether that’s horizontally on your couch or bathed in fog on a dance floor with fellow dwellers. ‘Katha Manjari’ is your guide for pure reality testing. For constructing a bridge through the mist between group ritual and solitary meditation.

After a perfect score for the 3rd BNJ compilation, Solma returns all alone with a 4 tracks EP dedicated to the many ways we can achieve inner peace. Blending cavernous DnB tracks from the edges of perception with tribe and minimalist vibes, the thriving french producer offers the Tribe an adventurous release for lovers of undiscovered depths. One for the books, as we surely expect he has a beautiful road to go.

EKKEL - DRUM RING SEISIMIC003
Returning to an aphotic minefield of sound - Seismic Records is back with its third release, Drum Ring, crafted by Norwegian producer and Ute Records co-founder Ekkel. Emerging from the forests of Nordic electronic heritage, Teo Bachs - aka Ekkel - channels the raw energy of ’90s progressive sounds into his mind-bending productions. From the studio, his signature blend of breaks and intricate percussion create soundscapes that are as cerebral as they are propulsive. Titled Drum Ring, the EP captures the feeling of a complete mental trip through a narrative of tension, ancient textures, and enchanting melodies.  
Poised with a sense of urgency, the A-side unfolds with a neatly rolling rhythm. Hradec Fog Fever builds a controlled frenzy of percussive elements, with layers stripping in and out, consistently driving the track forward. Slipping into A2, Owl Foot casts a sonic mist, a haze that tentatively creeps forward, flickering between atmospheric dips and shadowy contours. Vocal-cut whispers transcend through the soundscape, shy yet impactful, drawing you closer. It’s a tender introduction to a minimalist, dark progressive journey - a delicate balance of intrigue and mystery, where each sound lingers like a secret waiting to be discovered.
The B-Side strikes with poignant, powerful drum kicks that reverberate through layers of distortion. Drum Ring displays echoes of tension and unease, building a restless energy that urges deeper introspection. Ancient, enchanting tones weave through the chaos, grounding the frenetic soundwaves in something timeless and mystical. Sealing the EP, Endphase begins with faint, distant string notes that offer a fleeting, hopeful moment of rest. Growling chords and textures swirl, edging you to a meditation, only to be punctuated by sharp, deliberate drum patterns, adding a sense of momentum and purpose - a glimmer of light breaking through the mist.
Experience the full cycle of a delicate trip as Ekkel guides you through Drum Ring - a precious and dark progressive journey.
