Poirier

It’s time to get down and dutty in October for the next Love Carnival.

They’ve got two top guest selectas bringing you tropical bass and rhythms to make you sweat and make you move all night in South London’s favourite venue.

Flying in from Montreal, Poirier (Ninja Tune/Nice Up!) brings some filthy soundsystem vibes, while dancefloor master Spiritual South brings his boxes full of carnival anthems.

Plus the usual tropical shenanigans from The Love Carnival Soundsystem and Crew.

Drawing from a wide range of tropical riddims and urban electro, the power of Montreal-based DJ/producer Poirier’s bass blasts through any flimsy attempt to classify his music.

Pinpointing the bits and pieces of dancehall beats, soca energy and electronic intensity is futile in the face of Poirier’s dance-driven creativity and air horn-worthy excitement.

With releases on Ninja Tune and Nice Up!, tracks with Warrior Queen, a remix from Machinedrum, and a recent guest mix on Toddla T’s BBC Radio 1 show, Poirier is a man who just understands what works in the dance.
