ABOUT THIS ITEM

A 12 month period has seen the release of three EPs from Poirier (Pwa-ri-ay), all showcasing very different sides of his productions. From digi-dancehall bangers, to hyper soca rhythms, and techno / Caribbean hybrids. Now it's time to drop the culmination of those last 12 months onto this new album, the two disc "Running High".

Disc 1 compiles the three EPs. Originally released in such a way as to focus on each facet of Poirier's production, these tracks are now compiled in such a way to show the ease with which it all meshes and to present within a new context. Revisiting the tunes that smashed the floors... with Burro Banton, MC Zulu, YT, Face-T, and Mr Slaughter on the mic. However don't think of this solely as a collection of EPs... rather more like an album where the vinyl has been released early.

Disc 2 presents an alternate version. Taking elements from Disc 1 and presenting them as alternately voiced rhythms, remixes, and new tracks. It's both an audio companion and a statement / document of the scene that Poirier finds himself running in. Kicking off with a new tune featuring Warrior Queen, followed by re-voiced rhythms with Canadian reggae sensation Mikey Dangerous, chart topping hit Erup's "Click Mi Finger" meshed with the 'Untrust Rhythm', and the spanish flow of MC Boogat; remixes by France's Douster, UK funky / 2-step heavy hitter Sticky, UK sound-system Mungo's Hi-Fi, WILDLIFE!, Uproot Andy, Baobinga, Marflix, Maga Bo, Stereotyp, and rounded off with Poirier's remix of the Busy Signal hit "Cool Baby".
