Hot off the heels of a couple gigs in Sao Paolo, and en route to rock CMJ in NYC next week, le gran Poirier touches down in Boston this Monday to share his latest concoctions with the Beat Research massif.
I never quite know what to expect from Ghis. First time I heard him play, it was Dizzee Rascal over broken, bumping beats; these days it’s more often uptempo Caribbeanish dance hammers. But beyond the relatively focused EPs he’s released recently (one devoted to soca, the other to dancehall), his stuff can really range. I’m particularly partial to the tracks that make like cinderblocks wrapped in rubberbands. (Like the one I played in my radio set for the Masala boyz. [mp3 excerpt])
It’s a treat to be able to host the likes of the mighty Poirier from time to time at our modest Monday night. If you’re inna the area, come help us pretend summer didn’t end — never mind autumn.
yessss!!!
really stoked about this. really well written post, btw.
This will be awesome!! Considering pulling a stupid and coming in from WuMass just for the occasion.
big ups once again Wayne.
A couple years ago, I went to Bounce le Gros in MTL (Ghis’ monthly party). One of the best parties I’ve ever been to. People were there to DANCE!
