Drawing from a wide range of tropical riddims and urban electro, the power of Montreal-based DJ/ producer Poirier’s bass blasts through any flimsy attempt to classify his music.
Pinpointing the bits and pieces of dancehall beats, soca energy and electronic intensity is futile in the face of Poirier’s dance-driven creativity and air horn-worthy excitement.
Signed to Ninja Tune, this is a man who just understands what works in the dance.
Boogat is a vocalist, writer, producer living in Montréal, Canada.
