Its been a while between drinks, but Ghislain has returned with a killer EP of uptempo dancefloor slayers, riding the riddims at your local dancehall, this is the future of jump-and-wave riddims. This fits comfortably between modern dancefloor production, a grimey party killer, with fun very high on the agenda.
The MC’s present elevate this release to another planet, giving a sing along element to rock any party, Mr Slaughter, MC Zulu, and Face-T returns again with a killer delivery that would send any dancehall into a writhing sea of bodies unable to do anything but jump. A Ghislain Poirier EP would not be complete without an electroid riddim, showcasing his truly futuristic production style.
Just when I thought the modern dancehall was heading the same way as US hip-hop, this EP sets me straight.
