Through their collaborations, Face-T and Poirier have been holding down Montreal’s Electro-Caribbean inflected identity for years. This is their newest release, off of Face-T’s album Tuff Like Stone. The Garage-y intro got me hype. Peep the whole album in mini-mix preview form… and download this brain-bending remix by A Tribe Called Red:
Poirier – Soca Road EP
You can pretty much trust Poirier to deliver the goods. Once again he’s playing to his strengths with a carnival pile up of soca killers. These are going to have you following the next truck you see down the road waving your flag like you forgot its winter. Especially feeling ‘Bring It On’ with vocals …
Paul Devro – Mixpak Mix
There are few DJs out there that I rate higher than Mad Decent’s Paul Devro. Specifically because of his shockingly good back catalogue of mixtapes, even back to the pauldevro.com days he always brought a sense of fun to the form, something that a lot of DJs seem to have forgotten.. never afraid to drop …
A Tribe Called Red
Guillaume from Masalacism tipped me to his new signing earlier this year, DJ NDN, Bear Witness and Shub aka A Tribe Called Red from Ottowa. They make urban Pow Wow music sampling traditional indigenous styles of Pan North American & Canadian indian Pow Wow music, it comes out like some of the most earth quaking …
Hi-life soca sizzle
Very nice depiction from a different Kobiyashi. Of genuine interest nevertheless. Kubiyashi producer is an almighty. Here now with the hi-life styled soca moment. Lurking breathily by the microphone: none other than that excellent gopher Jamesy P, well known from the classic Nookie sound-bit. Sounding good. Kubiyashi is one of the most polished soca craftsmen …
Black and Yellow (Poirier Soca remix)
Just in time for Soca season, Poirier drops a HUGE Black and Yellow RMX especially for road wars. This one is a juggernaut. Wiz Khalifa – Black and Yellow (Poirier Soca Remix)
MaSuper Star ‘Airtime’ (DJ Mpula Remix)
Previewed on Sinden’s show last week, a hot new release on Masalacism courtesy of Botswana’s Ruff Ridims powerhouse that brought us the Ghetto Bassquake favourite, Skeat, among others. Batida’s excellent DJ Mpula’s brings his sweet hypnotisingly melodic production to a track that’s sparse drums roll hard for the dance floor. Heat. Available to download Jan …
Mr. OK – YaYa (Bearmod RMX)
The Fader says ‘Mr. OK’s creole flow is cutting through the synths with a dragonslayer’s aim’. Fair comment. Following up his excellent debut on Masalacism, Haitian-Creole rapper Mr. OK is dropping a heatseeker of a new single. New producer, Bearmod brings a shuddering synth wobble. This remix is from Mr. OK’s summer release Men Mwen …
Alors On Que Viva
Another window shattering rave carnival thumper from Poirier. This time mashing up Stromae’s hit with Boogat’s vocals resulting in Montreal deadliness. Everyone’s a winner. Git it. Stromae / Poirier / Boogat – Alors On Que Viva
