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.
