2010 vient tout juste de commencer et cela signifie que nous sommes qu'à 1 mois de la saison des carnavals!
Poirier nous a envoyé sa version du fameux Gutter Riddim qui, encore une fois cette année, va faire bouncer plusieurs chars à travers les caraibes.
Voici donc un généreux cadeau de sa part avec les refixes de son précédent ep Soca Sound System le temps d'attendre son prochain album double Running High qui devrait sortir en ce début d'année.
Our good friends at Riddim Wise sent us this beautiful reggae/dubstep remix of Poirier's haunted and haunting kreyol song with Nik Myo off his 2007 album No Ground Under. Riddim Wise is one of the most listened reggae radio show in Montreal if not the most listened to. It's broadcasted just after the second broadcast of Masala on sunday afternoon on CISM (the name of the radio station hence our blog name). Have a listen to there latest shows on the radio's website HERE. Below is the video of the original. Go buy it here.
Nos bons amis de Riddim Wise nous ont envoyé ce magnifique remix reggae/dubstep de Mangnen L'boulé de Poirier. Un morceau hanté et hantant, chanté en Creole par Nik Myo, tiré de l'album No Ground Under sorti sur Ninja Tune en 2007. Riddim Wise est l'une des émissions de radio dédiée au reggae la plus écoutée au Québec, si ce n'est la plus écoutée. L'émission est diffusée juste après la rediffusion de Masala les dimanche après-midi de 16h à 18h, sur les ondes de CISM (c'est le nom de la radio, d'où le nom de notre blog). Allez écouter leur dernière émissions sur le site de la station ICI. La vidéo de la chanson originale est ci-dessus. Allez ici pour acheter l'original.
Bonjay took their sweet time but they are finally putting something out officially. I've been following them and supporting them for a bit more than a couple years now, after I first encountered Alanna while playing a gig in Ottawa. These guys have clearly a unique sound blending elements that are never blend together: Dancehall and electronic music being the basis from which they work with, on top of they add their influence of Soul R'n'B music as well as indie-rock/indie-pop songwriting.
They released the Gimmee Gimmee EP a few weeks ago and already got support from the like of FADER, XLR8R, Dazed and Confused so you can bet it's only the beginning for them. 4 of the 6 tracks have been floating around the internet already so I'll let you go here if you want, but here's some of the tracks for your pleasure. Don't forget to support them by buying the tracks on Itunes (US / CA) and Amazon (US / FR / UK)
So this month, I'm putting some "about to be released material" and some very very fresh tracks, again in no particular order. Starting with Bonjay, a Toronto duo that I picked for management recently and who are releasing their first EP at the end of November. The EP is called Gimmee Gimmee and it also showcase the remixing talents of Poirier, Grahmzilla and Smalltown Romeo. More on this soon but Gimmee Gimmee and Faat Gyal have been on my top songs playlist for a while and it's awesome that you guys can have access to them very very soon. I'm pretty stoked about this project.
Next is the usual suspect L-Vis 1990 that I have consistently put in my top 10. This dude is just simply running the dance music game these days. That's it, that's all. He has a brand new EP on Sound Pellegrino, check it out. And too keep it on a funky vibe, the Dj Shredah remix of Vybz's Ramping Shop will definitely stay on top of my dj playlist for a while. I posted the song to download a few weeks ago, so go have a look HERE for more background info on the track.
The Tanlines project have been going on for a bit more than a year. With member of Professor Murder and Storm & Stress, Tanlines is definitely next on your to watch band list for 2010. Real Life is their next single and it's straight up high quality indie-pop with a "tropical" twist. To put next up to Lemonade, The Very Best or, with a bit of stretching, El Guincho.
Sonido Martines is pretty much the ultimate crate digger when it comes to Cumbia and music in South America. He put together a compilation for /Rupture's label Soot Records that present different new cumbia producers from Argentina. It's known territory for those who follow the scene but a good introduction if you don't. He's own remix of The Destellos's Elsa, with Fefe "representing" on the mic, is definitely a highlight of the compilation. You can download it for free on RCRD LBL.
Next in line is French man freshman, Douster. His latest EP for ZZK Rec has been praised pretty much anywhere, so as I'm a month late posting this hum, october top 10, well you guys might already have buy it. Follow the link for more of Douster.
Los Rakas is a duo of 2 Panamanian guys based in San Fransisco who are revisiting dancehall classics with a sharp flow in spanglish. Panabay Twist volumen 2 got release a few month ago and I just put my hand on it thanks to my man Geko Jones. This one though by El Senor Stereotyp took the acapella from the mixtape and is bringing it to a next level of audio violence. Méchant.
Capverdien carribean Kuduro take over! I meant to post this song by Shabba Tigre for months but kept it private until today. I'll post the song by itself very soon, but since then you can taste a bit of it by watching this making of video:
Last selection of the month is a sneakpick of Poirier's bonus CD that will come with his album to be dropped in march 2010. Album is called Running High and will bring together the 3 EP released throughout 2009 and 2010, as well a bonus cd with new version, remixes and other unreleased material. Baobinga did a great job muscleing up Gyal Secret Picture (on Poirier's Run The Riddim) and is definitely an up and coming producer.
POIRIER, Montreal's King of Beats & Bass, is launching a remix contest for the track Enemies. Taken from his latest single, Run The Riddim EP, Enemies, is a steamy dancehall club banger with vocals by Face-T. Having already fired up dancefloors all around the planet, it's now time for some remix treatments.
The winner will be included in the digital package of the forthcoming Poirier album Running High, being released early 2010 on Ninja Tune. Send your remixes to contest@valeoprod.com before November 15th!

My boy Hugo has done it again and posted it on his blog. He sent this one a couple weeks ago and even though his Yolanda Be Cool was my favourite of the pack (see my august top 10), I loved his refix of this great bashment song by Busy Signal.
Talking about Busy refix, I hope you coped Poirier's refix of Cool Baby on RCRDLBL last week.
Finally, Schlatchofbronx just released their first album on Disko B this week! We've been supporters til back in November 2008, and we're really happy to see them reach the next level! There's tons of way to buy their album on line and support them, so go have a look on their website!
Woa! Déjà une semaine sans post ici! Bon vous devriez savoir que Benoit a eu des très sérieux problèmes d'ordinateur et donc que poster ici était pas plus que ça dans ses priorités. Alors avant que Ben ou JP annonce la soirée Masala Sono #1 de ce samedi, je voulais vous prévenir que notre ami Poirier vient juste de sortir un nouvel EP orienté Dancehall et qu'il est excellent comme vous allez pouvoir l'entendre. Ma préféré du EP est la track avec YT, mais on ne partage que Enemies ici. Pour le reste vous pouvez aller acheter le EP et soutenir l'artiste sur Itunes ou sur Juno (UK)
