Le Diouck - Grace Joke 
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 159
Release Date: 27 June 2025
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/GraceJoke

Le Diouck is a multidisciplinary Franco-Senegalese artist whose debut album “Grace Joke” was released on June 27, 2025, featuring collaborations with Bonnie Banane, Lala &ce, La Zowi, and Yves Tumor.

Born Magueye Diouck, the 30-year-old artist draws from his Senegalese roots and Parisian life to create work spanning music, illustration, and performance. Originally trained as an illustrator working on graphic novels, he transitioned into music and performs in Wolof, French, and English. He has also walked for Comme des Garçons and starred in Gucci campaigns.

His work exists “at the intersection of folktale, speculative fiction, and diasporic memory,” constructing worlds where mythology and identity intertwine. His “Fatéouma” performance at the Bourse de Commerce tells a medieval fantasy fable about Grace, a cyborg searching for memories, and Joke, a broken circus clown.

Joining labels PAN and &ce Reckless in 2021, Le Diouck collaborates across the French underground scene with producers like Modulaw, Low Jack, and Lewis Ofman. He represents a new generation of Franco-African artists blending cultural heritage with contemporary expression, using his platform to promote understanding that “embracing your ancestors’ culture shouldn’t be seen as a threat but a virtue.”

Le Diouck - OVNIesque

@1sabby1

The winds are blowing. Bringing fragments of phrases, half-faded memories.
Tune in to the frequency — B Station is calling. Waves of new hope and tender recollections move through the soft melodies and lingering reverberations.
With gentle distortion and melodic drift, the artists trace moments suspended in time: the warmth of a voice, the ghost of a phrase, the glow of distant hope. Echoes of the past, and dreams of a distant future.

The compilation is available for purchase via Nina Protocol and Bandcamp.
DSP release arrives on September 4.
