A DAY WITH POIRIER
XLR8R TV episode no. 114

Montreal’s master beat-maker plays pretty for Quebec.

Musicians and artists have it good in Montreal, as we found out when we spent a day with Poirier. Not only do 70-year-old women sip wine in cafes and nod their heads as you and Face-T play your latest murder-lyric soca jam, but the police are totally chill when you set up an illegal 1,200 person party under an overpass! Definitely worth braving -20 degree Celsius winters for.

Watch here !

We just started a North American tour together. Being label mates thru Ninja Tune it’s logic to unite forces and to have 11 gigs together. See the full schedule on the left side. Be sure to check Daedelus myspace.

Was just aired this week.
