On The Floor! - Live at Ninja Tune Festival, Paris
Poirier
Ninja Tune, Chocolate Industries, Montreal
Hailing from Montreal, Canada, Ghislain Poirier is constantly exploring new terrains of hip hop and electronic music, fused with World riddim idioms twisted deep around bass. His obsession for the big, the dirty and the rhythmic is the foundation for his inimitable sound full of cosmopolitan bass & chunky digital dancehall. Quick-fast riddims with scattered snare chatting slap up against future electro-funk, fat beat stabs, and sub bass switch-ups. Grimy digital soca (what you don't know, this is the next level jump up, run the towel) gets lit up beside laser beams slicing through congas. Electro pop with right amount of fucked up double-up gets melodically crunked out. Bodyrocking meets necksnapping in all the right places. OK, enough. With a new album coming up on Ninja Tune, Ghislain is definitely one to watch out for and man who's got enough bounce to make the dancefloor quake and bodies shake.
