from ‘bounce le remix’: busta rhymes “light your ass on fire (ghislain poirier remix)”
from ‘breakupdown’: cold as hell (feat. beans)
ghislain poirer‘s 2005 album ‘breakupdown’ (chocolate industries) was an outstanding release. having previously collaborated with the likes of dj rupture and lotek hifi, it’s no surprise that the album weighed in with heavy beats, bass-heavy distorted electronica, ragga and hip hop. such mad dirty fun from start to finish – proving that ghis deserves far wider recognition. hot off the back of his recent lady sovereign remix (‘fiddle with the volume’) comes ‘bounce le remix’; a collection of 13 new mixes, all featuring original beats by ghislain, over MCs such as roots manuva, dizzee rascal, ying yang twins and (above) busta rhymes. you can order the cd online through two montreal stores: atom heart and cheap thrills.
for more ghis productions, check out his mix for the lemon-red blog, entitled ‘dirtier than clean’ – rap, grime, dancehall & ragga, all tightly packed in a sweet mix. also, head over to better propaganda for an mp3 download from the previous album ‘beat as politics’.
on the lady sov tip, chocolate industries has the ‘random’ video and (better still) the random remix video online for your viewing pleeeeeesure.
