Anysia Kym and Tony Seltzer Pull 454, Loraine James, FearDorian Into the Purity Universe

Last August, Anysia Kym and Tony Seltzer released Purity, a record that squeezed tension out of structure and let it breathe in short, sharp bursts. Now they’ve handed the stems to a group of producers and rappers who understand that language instinctively. Purity (Flips) arrives June 12 via 10k, and the tracklist reads less like a remix package and more like a deliberate re-casting of the album’s core ideas.

The lead version, a rework of “To Death” by 454, is already out. 454 grafts his own melodic restlessness onto the track, pulling it somewhere between rap, damaged soul, and something harder to name. It’s the right opening move, a statement that these flips won’t just be cosmetic.

The rest of the lineup confirms it. FearDorian brings his dense, digital chaos. DJ Blackpower (one of MIKE’s aliases) takes on “Diamonds & Pearls.” Loraine James, Kym’s Clandestine collaborator, reworks “Afterparty.” There’s footwork from Traxman, a raw edge from Vayda on “Big Difference,” and contributions from Popstar Benny, AceMo, Umru, and Bored Lord. The geography matters. These aren’t interchangeable producers doing favors. They’re artists who share a certain friction, a willingness to let things bruise.

Kym and Seltzer also booked release shows in London on July 17 and Los Angeles on July 24. The flips, the dates, the curation — it adds up. Purity isn’t being stretched thin. It’s being populated.
