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.

Pablo Diarra - Humour Noir [Songe Anima]

The idea for this song came together in the late 90's. The words were inspired by what I was experiencing at the time. It seemed like just a repetitive phrase at first, but after listening to it several times, I realized how something little meant so much. 
When I first sent this to the Snuff Crew, they immediately replied that they were interested in it. I took the song back in the studio and gave it a slight update.  I kept the original vocal and 707/808 drums. 
I updated the Bass line and used a Juno 60 as opposed to the original Prophet 600 sound. I'm both surprised and happy as far as the amount of attention this has received. I can't thank The Snuff Crew enough for inspiring me to finish this. Also want to thank Strictly Rhythm for taking it to the next level with their Digital release.  Currently the vinyl version is the only place you can get the Acid & Instrumental mix. Also there's is an  A capella version found only on the digital release. The Ep is now available at most record stores and digital online sites. Here are a few links.

Release's notes :
----------------------
It's been 10 years since their last release on 20/20 Vision, but it is with great excitement that we welcome Spirit Catcher back to the label with their aptly named Blast From The Past EP!

As one of the corner stones of 20/20, their early singles and album are legendary label artefacts and these guys were total pioneers of the cosmic, disco infused house sound which then became prominent in following years.

Blast From The Past has been getting heavy rotation in Ralph Lawson's sets over the summer and so we're really glad to finally see it reach the light of day. This one is a trip into hyperspace with cosmic synth pulses leading the way before a killer bass line takes you track straight to planet Spirit Catcher!

On the flip Closer takes the trip further with more expert bass hooks being joined by vox pads and otherwordly fx. The EP is finished off with Routing Madness, a homeage to the duos love for analogue studio gear which you can hear in the intricate synth patterns which pop and weave through the tracks duration.

Blast From The Past is out 18th January.

Two producers on duty for Gerd's Palm Leaves remixes. Sometimes an amazing track like Palm Leaves just screams for a rework by someone who really could do something nice with it. And this seems to be the perfect remix duo... Larry Heard aka Mr Fingers and Deetron. One for the body and one for the soul! Enjoy!
