HAELIUM is a French producer whose dreamy electronica is a mix of cinematic textures, ethereal atmospheres and punchy beats. Influenced by the sounds coming out of labels such as Warp, Brainfeeder and Erased Tapes, HAELIUM’s music is a place where opposites meet, offering a refreshing blend of deep melancholy and childlike optimism. 

After releasing several singles and remixes in 2018, his track “Frozen” was released as part of Svnset Waves’ compilation in March 2019. The same year, he unveiled his tracks “Love” and “Naps”. In June 2020, HAELIUM released his first EP “Recovery” on Nowadays Records with an extended version in September. 

After releasing a new single “Moving Forward”, HAELIUM will release his second EP 'Expanding' in August 2021 via Future Archive Recordings.

Music is storytelling, bringing to light an individual's self-expression, or spirit.

For the next iteration of our podcast series, we bring you Yasin Hazim's interpretation of Lughat alRouh.

A note from the Yasin:
This mix is inspired by a painting in my childhood home representing the soul (painting is the set artwork). It’s a whirlwind of words and colors, a vision of a soul’s many faces. I tried to approach something spiritual and heartfelt, an exploration of the language of the soul - an emotional journey through learning, obstacles, grief & joy. I hope you enjoy it.

2 | Actress x London Contemporary Orchestra - N.E.W.

Yasin Hazim's Interpretation | 77

Starting off to an hypnotising vibe, with its silky but powerful bassline and some bleeps, this track develops to find its minimalistic character, adding only a handful of elements through its duration, worked in a such a way, that it never becomes boring. Constant evolution of its textures and atmospheres, do a great job creating that aforementioned vibe, that even tho it's more on the ''mental'' side of Techno, its equally effective to dance to in a nightclub, with the bouncy feeling provided by the arrangement of its drums and percussive elements, a record inspired by countless nights of listening in the Underground scene of Europe, most precisely, Berlin.
