Ghislain Poirier S/D

He did a remix cd that I liked a lot, plus the album 'conflits', although if my recollection is correct, it was a bit softer-hitting than the more recent output. still quality tho...

go to his 'bounce le gros' in mtl and get sweaty. mmmm.

quite a few years back he compiled a few CDRs of african hip-hop -- really good stuff, and shit you won't find anywhere else in the states. not sure if he's still distributing those (they were homemade affairs but w/ printed covers etc)..... worth seeking out.

Those West African hip-hop CDs are fantastic.

Def. get Bounce Le Remix (you can get it online from Cheap Thrills) which is a bunch of remixes of various Dizzee, MIA, Lady Fury, Lady Sov, Vanilla Ice (??!?!) tunes. He's also got a couple of mixtapes out which are good, but the real gem is the fantastic one he did for Lemon-Red mp3 mix series called "Dirtier Than Clean" which I'm sure is findable on slsk. His Shockout tracks are also all uniformly good IIRC.

Strangely enough I've never heard one of his full length albums.

check out his website, he's launching is own label!

I see that you are doing well on the net. My partners in crime, pointed out to me quite a few site
across the world thats selling my shit. Yo! we gotta talk man! asap.
