Click Mi Finger Poirier Remix Truckback Record 2009

POIRIER The power of DJ/producer Poiriers bass will blast through any flimsy attempt to classify his music. While the purists struggle to label his sound as either dancehall, soca, or electro, Poirier, signed to Ninja Tune, just takes what needs from all three and unleashes the result in a raw dance floor frenzy. Poiriers tracks are sparse landscapes of Caribbean drums made superhuman with pulsating, pitch-shifting, and infectious bass and synth patterns. His style evolves and tears through new genres constantly, leaving a trail of packed, chaotic dance floors in its wake. In the past Poirier collaborated with MCs and DJs from across the globe working with electro sensation Crookers, Jamaican dancehall legend Burro Banton, UK reggae sensation YT, long time collaborators Face-T & MC Zulu, and dj/rupture (Tigerbeat6) while his tracks for UK grime/hip hop sensation Lady Sovereign (Def Jam), Bassnectar, Pole, Buck 65, The Editors and Champion earned him critical acclaim from Pitchfork, The Wire and XLR8R Magazine. Poirier Praise: "Poirier, the man who seamlessly unites just about every genre." The Fader Poiriers music is the sound of a new Montreal. - Exclaim Truckback has grown up fast.
