Poirier

Poirier creates a sonic bridge between the cold winters of Montreal and the sweltering heat of Kingston. His sound is a masterclass in 'the bounce,' characterized by heavy, melodic basslines that feel physically present in the room. It is music that prioritizes movement and joy, stripping away the pretension of the electronic underground to focus on the primal connection between a heavy beat and a crowded floor.

What truly distinguishes his work is the surgical precision of his production. While many tropical-influenced producers lean into a lo-fi or gritty aesthetic, Poirier maintains a high-definition clarity. His use of pitch-shifting synths and sparse, superhuman drum patterns creates a sense of space that allows the guest vocalists - ranging from dancehall legends to underground rappers - to truly shine.

Start with 'Café Com Leite' for a sophisticated, sun-drenched introduction to his more recent, melodic explorations. If you are looking for the raw energy that built his reputation, dive into 'No Ground Under' to hear the aggressive, genre-mashing bass that earned him his 'king of the bounce' title.
