We have been writing off and on about Ghislain Poirier. His musical focus is in a constant flow moving precisely between hypes and trends. His riddim series on Ninja Tune and on soundcloud is very intrueging and cool. I love it because he adds always this typical thing called Poirier to it even when he touches Soca or dancehall, Hip hop or electro. So we gonna keep posting till the whole world loves the Poirier sound! This new release is so good against the winter that’s still around, pure vitamins! The tunes are moving in-between 8bit, electro, soca, kwaito and house in a perfect smooth way like a pure basement party on fire! This energy bomb is the overture for his forthcoming Running High 2CD set (compiling EP’s, new tracks, versions, and remixes).
Ghislain Poirier, The french Canadian from wonder city Montreal is into a productive mood (again)! We found a recent great studio live mix of him on the Perfilo blog. Ghislain prooves again what a great musician he is! He moves from dubstep to soca so you need to listen to this!
