about the cassette

Full of dreamy textures and languid melodies, XOOMIN is a soundtrack for drifting into the abyss, but in the hands of Mor Elian. Although the Berlin-based producer is best known for her dancefloor-oriented creations, Petrichor, a 50-minute composition that officially debuted the Alloy Sea project, showcased her unexpected talent for abstract soundscapes and arrhythmic jitters. While it hints at ambient techno, it ultimately offers something much more adventurous.

XOOMIN was specifically written for Paralaxe Editions after the label's founder, Dania Shihab, approached Elian to collaborate on a new Alloy Sea release. The album explores similarly ethereal waters as Petrichor, but it's also brighter and more colorful than its predecessor. It’s not pop, but it’s not quite ambient either, instead floating in a nebulous, sneakily fun zone that draws from New Age, IDM, and the weirder corners of bass music.
