“Elijah has been a huge inspiration to me so when he reached out, I dropped all my other projects and jumped on this. I think what came of it is a beautifully atmospheric concoction of both our unique styles.”
Nogymx
“I’ve been watching Nogymx for a while and I think our sound is quite similar so it made sense for me to reach out and work with him, it could be the beginning of something.”

[ Artists Bio ]
Elijah Nang is a London-based experimental electronic artist who also describes himself as an audio novelist. In his music, you will find a frequent homage to East Asian culture and his sound crafts a new niche in the lofi hop-hop genre, a mixture of electronica with Japanese influences, something he often refers to as Oriental soul.
Nogymx, or Jimmy, is Ireland-born, South Korea-based producer drawn to the Asian sounds & traditional instruments, and the way they blend with chillhop. Koto, Erhu, guitars, piano, and shakers are often the backbone of his music.
