Poirier – Quiet Revolution (Top Albums 2024)

· by Eric Cohen

Montreal has long been known for fostering some of the most original and creative talent, consistently, in so many styles and genres of music. The city also has certain musical fixtures who have been working the corridors of this metropolis, engineers of the new sounds that have come to define this city, and its music’s global reach over the years. One such personality is Poirier, a hyper-talented DJ/Producer who started carving out his unique style in 2001 with a mastery of minimal house and glitchy hip hop, eventually winding his way to more tropical sound – mixing Latin, Afro Caribbean, Soca, Reggae, and every other sun-kissed groove you can imagine into a sonic quilt that always pleases the ears. His latest, Quiet Revolution, assembles some Poirier’s smoothest and catchiest grooves, mixing hypnotic percussion with mystical Griot chants, warm electric synths, plenty of familiar polyrhythms and multiple languages to create an outernational phenomenon that proves the world is much more connected than we often realize.
