Society is speeding headlong into the 21st century, and we’re standing at a unique juncture in musical history. Worldviews expand and sonic geographies contract as people and philosophies travel faster and farther than ever before. Analog and digital information are woven together as analog forms of expression – the voice, the drum skin, the low end rumble – disintegrate into ones and zeros and rebuild into a new hybridity. The intersection of digitalism and globalism is the future made real.
No one understands this better than Ghislain Poirier, one of the most commanding artists around exploring new terrains of hip hop and electronic music fused with world riddim idioms twisted deep around bass. His obsession for the big, the dirty and the rhythmic laid the foundation for creating No Ground Under, his first album for Ninja Tune. No Ground Under is chock full of cosmopolitan bass & chunky digital dancehall. Quick-fast riddims with scattered snare chatting slap up against future electro funk, fat beat stabs, and sub bass switch-ups. Grimy digital soca (what you don’t know, this is the next level jump up, run the towel) gets lit up beside laser beams slicing through congas. Electro pop with right amount of fucked up double-up gets melodically crunked out. Bodyrocking meets necksnapping in all the right places.
All this being said No Ground Under is a banging record, with enough bounce to make the dance floor quake and bodies shake. A testament to a man who has been making music for years and is truly coming into his own with a sound that will make the global villagers jump up and get on the good foot.

BIO
Montreal’s Ghislain Poirier is obsessed with big, dirty beats, an affliction that causes him create some of the most out of control ragga style riddims, and deconstructed abstract hip-hop to date.
In the past Poirier has collaborated with MC’s and DJ’s from across the globe, working with NYC’s resident Large cats MC Beans (Warp) and DJ Rupture (Tigerbeat6), as well as Parisian heavy weights TTC (Big Dada) and London’s Lotek Hi-Fi (Big Dada) amongst others.
Poirier has become renowned globally for his bass slammin remixes that continue to further solidify his title as “king of the bounceâ€. He has remixed tracks for UK grime/hip hop sensation Lady Sovereign (Def Jam), The Editors, Champion, Bassnectar, Pierre Lapointe all to much critical acclaim and garnering him attention from publications such as pitchforkmedia.com and XLR8R Magazine.
In 2005 Poirier released the album ‘Breakupdown’ on Chocolate Industries, the record was well received by the public and press alike, and as a result he was offered the opportunity to perform during a North American tour with the loudest midget in the game herself, Lady Sovereign.
Since then, Poirier has been throwing down his own successful monthly DJ night in Montreal, BOUNCE LE GROS . An evening that features what Poirier describes as “Bass and no attitude, Gros sound, Gros Beat, Gros Move, Bounce le Grosâ€. A master in the art of making people move, Poirier’s night of genre Mashing provides enough bass to fill the place, attracting a mixed crowd that appreciate his dirty style, tasty beats and eclectic flare. Spinning music that flows effortlessly from global hip hop, grime, Bali beats, Booty bass, crunk, Baltimore and much more is this DJ’s signature stamp, a sold out party month after month.
Poirier decided to release his next body of work on his own imprint, and as a result started the label "Rebondir Records" on which he released his "Rebondir EP†earlier in 2006.
This legend in the making is touring the world extensively playing the underground club circuit. Keep your ears open, your feet in check and be prepared to Bounce!
New album due for October 2007 on Ninja Tune !
