Ghislain Poirier is a musician and DJ from Montreal, who has earned quite a reputation as a genius of Hip Hop deconstruction with ragga, grime and techno accents. This summer, he will stop over in Vancouver to get you dancing to his latest album No Ground Under, with his own fiery brand of futuristic electro funk. It’s a bold mixture, groovy and off key, that is a perfect reflection of the eclectic range of musical tastes of the ace of bass! This DJ is HOT and he has worked with some of the world’s best MCs and musicians, including the New Yorker Beans, the American DJ/rupture, the Parisian group TTC and the British band Lotek Hi-Fi (Big Dada). He has also made a name for himself in recent years with his remixes, including new renditions of Champion and Pierre Lapointe, the young British sensation Lady Sovereign, Les Georges Leningrad and the British rock group The Editors. In 2005, the album Breakupdown was released and nominated at the ADISQ Gala in the category of “best electronic album”. With such a fantastic reputation under his belt and a sound in his suitcase that explodes on the dance floor, Ghislain has travelled far and wide. Come out and tank up with energy at the Festival d’été!
