An actor in the French electronic scene for the last 8 years with his band Jabberwocky, he now unveils a project with very personal motivations. Driven by the desire to use sounds that remind him of a childhood spent in a family of dancers and percussionists, he draws from the West African repertoire via two new dancefloor-ready tracks\u00a0 under the moniker <em>Activations Pt. 1<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=182864030\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soumae.bandcamp.com\/album\/activations-pt-1\">ACTIVATIONS pt.1 by Souma\u00e9<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Activations Pt. 1<\/em> is made up of &#8220;Sambanyi&#8221; and &#8220;Balanyi.&#8221; With its fiery percussion, persistent bass and retro synths, the first track\u2019s influences come from acid house, Afrobeats and coup\u00e9 d\u00e9cal\u00e9. &#8220;Balanyi&#8221; adds an acoustic touch through a Guinean balafon \u2013 hence the name of the track, which is written in Soussou. The heady melody of the instrumental contrasts brilliantly with the raw and percussive rhythmic section.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/soumae.bandcamp.com\/releases\" target=\"_blank\">Activations Pt. 1<\/a><\/em>, out now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to Souma\u00e9 in our afro + club playlist on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/38btMIbD4lYEsPbMrN9Bjz?si=FbbbIxauTjWsf3HwGUiFVQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deezer.com\/fr\/playlist\/3244743002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deezer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/soumae-activations-1010x1010.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85829\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Parisian producer delivers two ultra-dynamic tracks that are deeply connected to his origins.
