Breakupdown
Chocolate Industries
HIP HOP
> Originally critically acclaimed for his ultra minimal explorations of the technosound, Montrealer GHISLAIN POIRIER recently converted himself to the dirty religion of head bobbing, deconstructed abstract hip hop.
> 'Breakupdown' is a blistering mix of hip hop, electronics, dancehall, Ragga and West African textures and recalls the best work of the likes of DJ SHADOW, PREFUSE 73 and anyone else who strives to push boundaries and dares to ask "what is hip hop"
> Ghislain has had a busy roster of collaborating with DJ/RUPTURE for the track "Taqasim" on the 'Special Gunpowder' album, working with BEANS (ANTI POP / WARP) and LO TEK HIFI (NINJA TUNE), remixing DIVERSE, PULSEPROGRAMMING and LADY SOVERIGN.
> Performing at the Austin Museum of Digital Art and even scoring films along side PLASTIKMAN. With a growing fan base, Ghislain Poirier is one spark of hope that this genre can make it past its current stagnant status & will drive with energy and creativity into the future.
