Monsieur Poirier needs no introduction. Our favorite MTLien has been steadily blowing up the world with his slamming beats for a minute, and now that he is signed to Ninja Tune there is really no stopping him.

DJ Thick (Toronto by way of Puerto Rico, Miami, and DC) fuses years of experience with percussion and electronic music to turn his iBook into a folk instrument. For this special set at Beat Research, he’s rocking new original productions and mixes, heavy on the percussion and 808 … and just plain heavy.
