Born and raised in Aarhus, Denmark, Simon Sorensen a.k.a. pH1 got an Alpha Juno when he was 21 and started playing with it to recreate his favorite tracks. That's how the journey into music production took off and culminated last year, when he started his own label Horizon Records, where he released "Ambition EP" thanks to which I discovered him and his music.

Tiella Sound Mix 032: pH 1

Pablo Diarra - Humour Noir 
Griffe Sonam EP [Sonam 001 / Songe Anima]

Produced by Pablo Diarra
Mastered by Neel at EnissLab Mastering Studio
Artwork by William Jones
Released by Songe Anima Records from Marseille, France
Release Date: September 19th, 2025

The EP's surprising influences include techno and ambient, with drums somewhere between Afrobeat, jazz and Maracatu, and colder textured pads. A direction that may remind us of a sound design close to that of Alva Noto, a sound similar to that of Marco Shuttle, Joey Anderson or Dorisburg. The EP can't be summed up in a single musical style, and explores musical universes we've rarely heard together. The resulting unity is a mature, rhythmically complex sound, an insider's music that's easy to access because it's so danceable. The EP can be seen as part of a certain contemporary trance movement.

The Balafon in Humour noir (track 1) reveals Pablo Diarra's Malian influences. The rhythmic mix of intense Afrobeat, raw jazz and Afro-Brazilian influences contrasts with a harmonic line whose texture is more reminiscent of a Boards of Canada cinematic universe. The appearance of heady themes in the first two tracks bears the organic signature of FM synthesis. We sense the use of warm saturation that brings out certain harmonies, hoarse the sound that emerges close to what could be a muted trumpet or a kind of blown organ.

Track 2, After Trane, is an explicit tribute to John Coltrane. Here, the main lead evokes a sound somewhere between trumpet, flute and organ. Its polyrhythmic tangle with a second lead to the 5th can evoke a Balkan fanfare, a Celtic ritornello, West African chants, or even an Oriental dimension; there's something quite universal about this appearance; whose main characteristic is to produce a trance effect. The closing solo may evoke something of Joe Zawinul, and in some aspects takes the allure of a Coltranian pastiche in its articulation. You'll even recognize a brief citation of the Impressions theme, breaking through the mix and setting the track on fire at 5''33.

This EP feels both grounded and ethereal. The whole low-end spectrum stares us in a very dub-like direction, the snare, Rim, hats game is as swift as it is aerial, while the electro sound design elements take us, through experimental effect, into a vast, hushed soundscape.

Recording of the EstimuloShow takeover at THF Radio ( www.thfradio.de ) with Jonas Ton, Duensch and myself at decks, broadcasted live from Torhaus @ Tempelhof Airport, 21st August 2020. It was the hottest day of the year (with a chill 37°c in the shade and probably 45 or more in the booth) so dont mind the occasional hickups and glitches :) Smoochies to THF Crew for the invitation!

Dawn Again is a Melbourne based DJ, producer and record collector whose name is becoming synonymous with warm, fuzzy, soulful house. Labels from Love Above Records to Blind Jack has signed his highly functional dance cuts, and his most recent EP, released on Houseworx, is a statement that should see the producer receive more international acclaim. 2020 has been a busy year for him too, recently releasing the first record on his own label, Enjoyment Division. For this special Novelcast, he has gifted us with a special mix filled with tracks from the late ’90s and early ’00s.

News From The Treetops w/ Macaulay Sulkin and Dylan Forbes - November 2020

Next up on our Digest series: the Glaswegian born, London based powerhouse... our very good friend, Scott Fraser!

1/2 of BodyHammer w/ Joe Hart (the seminal London party and record label) this is one of our very favourites. 

Taking it back to the roots, Scott's put together a 1hr 30 min torrent of jacking Chicago house, some classics, others more obscure. Chocked full of acid bass, hypnotic sound bites, and more sleaze than you can shake your butty to. We've been big fans of Mr. Fraser for a while now, it's great to finally get him on board for a Digest.
