POIRIER ready for Europe dates with MC Zulu - don't miss out

While many struggle to label his sound as either dancehall, soca, or electro, Poirier, signed to Ninja Tune, takes just what he needs leaving a trail of packed, chaotic dance floors in his wake.

Fresh off touring in support of the "Soca Sound System" EP (which saw him traveling the world solo and with Daedelus, South Rakkas Crew, and others), Poirier is shifting gears to run riddims.

In advance of his next EP "Run The Riddim" (September), which will feature cuts with Jamaican dancehall legend Burro Banton, long time collaborators Face T & MC Zulu, as well as UK reggae sensation YT, Poirier is hitting UK/Europe with MC Zulu.

Run The Riddim is the 2nd in a series of 3 EP's being released this year, all leading up to Poirier's album release in 2010.

"Montreal’s indie guitar bands got plenty of coverage last year, but in 2008 they might be usurped by Ninja Tune-signed hip-hop producer Poirier. The French-Canuck connoisseur of grime, booty bass, ragga and “world riddum idioms” makes music that is accessible, innovative and above all danceable."
James McNair in THE INDEPENDENT (UK)
