Ghislain Poirier, Sarcastic & Hectic [ Static Link : iAppel ]
Ville:Canada, Quebec, Montreal
Temps:Thu 15 Feb, 2007 @ 12:00am
Description:GHISLAIN POIRIER

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 MC’s and DJ’s from across the globe, working with NYC’s resident Large cats MC Beans (Warp) and DJ Rupture (Tigerbeat6), as well as 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 UK grime/hip hop sensation Lady Sovereign (Def Jam), Les Georges Leningrad, Pulseprogramming and The Editors, all to much critical acclaim and garnering him attention from publications such as [ pitchforkmedia.com ] 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.

Since then, Poirier has been throwing down his own successful monthly DJ night in Montreal, ‘BOUNCE LE GROS’. An evening that features what Poirier describes as “Bass and no attitude, Gros sound, Gros Beat, Gros Move, Bounce le Gross”. A master in the art of making people move, Poirier’s night of genre Mashing provides enough bass to fill the place, attracting a mixed crowd that appreciate his dirty style, tasty beats and eclectic flare. Spinning music that flows effortlessly from global hip hop, grime, Bali beats, Booty bass, crunk, Baltimore and much more is this DJ’s signature stamp, a sold out party month after month.

Poirier decided to release his next body of work on his own imprint, and as a result started the label "Rebondir Records" on which he released his "Rebondir e.p” earlier in 2006.

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!

Le montréalais Ghislain Poirier est obsédé par les gros beats sales, c'est pourquoi il crée un hip hop déconstruit aux accents ragga, grime et techno.

Il a notamment collaboré avec quelques-uns des meilleurs MCs et musiciens de la planète dont notamment le New-Yorkais Beans (Warp), l’Américain DJ/rupture (Tigerbeat6), les poids-lourds Parisiens TTC (Big Dada) et les Britanniques de Lotek Hi-Fi (Big Dada).

Ghislain Poirier s’est fait aussi connaître pour ses solides remixes dans les dernières années. Il a remixé entre autres les Québécois Champion ainsi que Pierre Lapointe, la jeune sensation britannique Lady Sovereign (Def Jam), Les Georges Leningrad et le groupe rock britannique The Editors. Des remixes qui ont non seulement convaincu les critiques mais aussi les planchers de danses.

En 2005, il a sorti l'album « Breakupdown » sur Chocolate Industries, label basé à Chicago, ce qui l'a amené à partir en tournée nord-américaine pour jouer live en première partie de Lady Sovereign. De plus, l’album fut nominé au gala de l’Adisq dans la catégorie meilleur album électronique.

Depuis l’été 2005, Poirier organise aussi la populaire soirée mensuelle Bounce le Gros à Montréal. Cette soirée qui met à l’avant les DJs d’ici et d’ailleurs (dj/rupture, TTC, The Bug, Kode9, etc) a pour mission de partager cette passion de la basse à travers toutes les musiques urbaines possibles du monde entier. Il s’est même permis d’exporter le concept à quelques reprises à Paris, Rennes (France) et Toronto !

La dernière initiative de Poirier fut de démarrer son propre label début 2006, Rebondir Records, avec lequel il a lancé le Rebondir EP qui comprend le hit Pour te réchauffer avec TTC et Omnikrom !

Durant la dernière année, le très occupé Montréalais a performé live aux Francofolies de Montréal, au Festival d’Été de Québec, aux Eurockéennes de Belfort (France), au Festival des Vieilles Charrues (France), au Festival de Dour (Belgique), au MEG (Montréal), au Pitchfork Music Festival (Chicago) et s’est même permis une incursion en Australie !. Bien qu’il parcourt intensément la planète, Poirier prépare actuellement son prochain album pour l’automne 2007 !



SARCASTIC


Founder of Montreal-based underground electronic music pantheon Level 4 Productions, this amorphous being has contributed to the subculture's cabalistic causes on many levels for the past decade as label manager, DJ, producer, promoter and music critic. Possessed since childhood with a needling drive to splice together discrete musical compositions, first with cassette decks, microphones, CD players or 8-tracks, it was only a matter of time before Sarcastic was introduced to his lifetime partner: the Technics 1200. His love for the chugging repetitive nature of techno, acid house and hardcore genres remains informed by an early appreciation for hip-hop, stoner rock, jazz and psychedelia of all sorts. Equally at home behind two or three decks, Sarcastic’s diversity has allowed him to perform alongside many of his musical mentors: NYC’s Frankie Bones, Detroit ghetto-tech DJ Assault, Stockholm’s Thomas Krome and Slobodan or London breakbeat stars Freestylers or Deekline. Lengthy local residencies have seen Sarcastic spinning anything from pure tek, minimal and experimental techno to acid, breakbeats, DnB, booty, house and tek-house; recently championing the “vinyl” movement, Sarcastic is even known to work classic rock, funk, hip hop, trip hop, blues, jazz and bluegrass into his carefully programmed DJ sets.
