POIRIER
The power of DJ/producer Poiriers bass will blast through any flimsy attempt to classify his music. While the purists struggle to label his sound as either dancehall, soca, or electro, Poirier, signed to Ninja Tune, just takes what needs from all three and unleashes the result in a raw dance floor frenzy. Poiriers tracks are sparse landscapes of Caribbean drums made superhuman with pulsating, pitch-shifting, and infectious bass and synth patterns. His style evolves and tears through new genres constantly, leaving a trail of packed, chaotic dance floors in its wake.
In the past Poirier collaborated with MCs and DJs from across the globe working with electro sensation Crookers, Jamaican dancehall legend Burro Banton, UK reggae sensation YT, long time collaborators Face-T & MC Zulu, and dj/rupture (Tigerbeat6) while his tracks for UK grime/hip hop sensation Lady Sovereign (Def Jam), Bassnectar, Pole, Buck 65, The Editors and Champion earned him critical acclaim from Pitchfork, The Wire and XLR8R Magazine.
Poirier Praise:
"Poirier, the man who seamlessly unites just about every genre." The Fader
Poiriers music is the sound of a new Montreal. - Exclaim

The Gearbox Riddim notched three #1 songs in Jamaica (Erup Click My Finger, Deva Bratt Bag A Talking, Harry Toddler Dont Run In), a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 R&B/Hip Hop chart (Erup Click My Finger) as well top ten hits in London, New York, Miami and Japan, Rhythm of the Year nominations in 2007 and 2008 as well as a nod for 2008 Producer of the Year by the EME and HYPE-TV Awards committees. Shout outs from Fader and XLR8R magazines have minted the studios unique place in reggae and dance culture worldwide.
