Montreal’s Ghislain Poirier was recently in Victoria as part of his Canadian tour to promote his new album, “Running High”. The new album combines work from his last few EP releases, as well as some new stuff. Poirier has been blending dancehall, hiphop and all kinds of tropical riddims for a while now; he was already pretty well established when I first heard him on the Chocolate Swim compilation (which is no longer available at the Adult Swim site, so never MIND.)

The video for Coco Drunk is interesting, it follows a day in the life of someone wearing a camera in their shoe. A shoe camera isn’t something you see every day, unless you’re a spy or some kind of pervert!
