One of the most celebrated and traveled DJ’s from Montreal
is DJ Poirier!
Specializing in crowd grooving remixes, this bass tumping
addict combines Dancehall with Soca and Electronica to give fans hours of
non-stop sir horn excitement!
Always moving, Poirier has been
invited to virtually every continent. Poirier on the bill equals a sure fire
jam. No surprise that he’s shared the stage with Modeselektor, Diplo,
Kode9, Amon Tobin and Toddla T, as well as taken Fabric
London, Australia’s Big Day Out, SXSW, the Montreux (Montreal) Jazz Festival,
Barcelona’s Sonar Festival, London’s Notting Hill Carnival and
Mexico’s Cervantino Festival by storm.
Poirier’s signature skill of
effortlessly linking disparate genres has led to worldwide collaborations with
MCs and DJs from global hip hop, soca, grime, dancehall, booty bass, and much
more. Electro sensations Crookers, dancehall veteran Burro Banton,
the ever-eclectic dj/rupture, London’s tough gyal Warrior Queen,
and Trinidadian soca master Mr Slaughter have all connected with
Poirier, as well as longtime collaborators Face-T, Boogat and MC
Zulu.
Giving the massive what it wants,
yet providing a musical education in what it needs, Poirier is a producer and
DJ who has no boundaries except, perhaps, the rule that it’s gotta have bass,
and it’s got to bounce. With this philosophy, Poirier will keep the dance
rammed.
Make sure you come out to the 9th
Annual Montreal International Reggae Festival to catch a sure fire set with DJ
Poirier!
