Ghislain Poirier (Ninja Tune / Shockout) :
Biog : Recently signed to Ninja Tune, Montreal’s Ghislain Poirier is obsessed with big, dirty beats, an affliction that causes him create some of the most out of control ragga style riddims, and deconstructed abstract hip-hop to date. In the past Poirier has collaborated with some of the finest and forward thinking MC’s and DJ’s from across the globe, working with NYC’s resident large cats Beans (Warp) and dj/rupture (Tigerbeat6), Parisian heavy weights TTC (Big Dada) and London’s Lotek Hi-Fi (Big Dada) amongst others. Poirier has become renowned globally for his bass slammin remixes that continue to further solidify his title as “king of the bounce”. He has remixed tracks for artists as diverse as UK grime/hip hop sensation Lady Sovereign, The Editors, Spank Rock, Bassnectar and Pierre LaPointe. These bass heavy make overs have earned him much critical acclaim and garnered attention from publications such as pitchforkmedia.com, The Wire and XLR8R Magazine. In 2005 Poirier released the album ‘Breakupdown’ on Chocolate Industries, the record was well received by the public and press alike, and as a result he was offered the opportunity to perform during a North American tour with the loudest midget in the game herself, Lady Sovereign. His brand new album 'No Ground Under' for Ninja Tune is set to propel him and his music to international status and help confirm this scene we know as 'bastard dancehall' as the sound of 2008. A master in the art of making people move, Ghislain spins music that flows effortlessly from global hip hop, soca, grime, dubstep, booty bass, crunk and much more. This legend in the making is touring the world extensively playing the underground club circuit. Keep your ears open, your feet in check and be prepared to Bounce!
