No Ground Under

Ghislain Poirier is a commanding artist who explores new terrains of hip hop and electronic music fused with world riddim idioms twisted deep around bass. His obsession for the big, the dirty, and the rhythmic laid the foundation for creating No Ground Under, his first album for Ninja Tune. No Ground Under is chock full of what he describes as "cosmopolitan bass and chunky digital dancehall." Quick-fast riddims with scattered snare chatting slap up against future electro funk, fat beat stabs, and sub bass switch-ups. Grimy digital soca lights up beside laser beams slicing through congas. Electro pop with the right amount of fucked-up double-up melodically crunks out. Bodyrocking meets necksnapping in all the right places.
