ABOUT THIS ITEM

The third and final EP in a year-long arc of releases from Poirier on Ninja Tune, leading up to his brand new album in 2010. As with the previous two EPs in the series we get a high-energy mash-up of global beats and pieces, all fed through a 00s electro mincer. "Marathon" combines rough and tumble soca biff-baff beats with a cheeky 8-bit keyboard riff. "90's Backyard" is some futuristic dancehall rhythm track with dirty riffing electro synths. "Coco Drunk" keeps us in the dancehall with a fat drum track and super-fake reggae horn combination - sure to have the bmorebailefidgetelectrokuduro crowd in a spin. Lastly we get "Warehouse". I think that's a warehouse in Sao Paulo circa 2010, rather than one in Blackburn 1988, cos this is a dirty electro stomper just waiting for the inclusion of some live baile-funk MCing.
