Fresh off tours in the United States and Europe and welcomed by 5,000+ at his own homecoming party, Montreal’s pioneering beat maker, Poirier, is unwilling to slow down. Run The Riddim, his second, and latest, EP installment (the first being Soca Sound System) in what will be a three-part series from Ninja Tune, is hitting the streets running with an up-to-the-time selection of wicked dancehall reggae vibes and uptempo beats. Known for his deft mixing of electro and worldly rhythms, on Run The Riddim Poirier brings forward veteran Jamaican deejay, Burro Banton, alongside the newest dancehall vocalist du jour from across the pond in YT, as well as singjay MC Zulu and longtime collaborator, Face-T. An album that will ram the dance floor in any language, club deejays and dancehall selectors beware, Run The Riddim is ready to run the dance.
