POIRIER
http://soundcloud.com/poiriersound
Mixpak / Ninja Tune
Drawing from a wide range of tropical riddims and urban electro, the power of Montreal-based DJ/producer Poirier’s bass blasts through any flimsy attempt to classify his music. Pinpointing the bits and pieces of dancehall beats, soca energy and electronic intensity is futile in the face of Poirier’s dance-driven creativity and air horn-worthy excitement. This is a man who just understands what works in the dance.
BOOGAT
http://soundcloud.com/boogat
Boogat is a vocalist/writer/producer who lives in Montreal, Canada. His sound is firmly rooted in the combination of styles, mixing latin worldbeat rythms with post hip-hop production and rap. Boogat is currently working on a solo album to be released in 2011 and live performances with Poirier, Roberto Lopez Project, Mohammed and Pawa Up First.
EMPRESARIOS

Hailing from the Washington DC area, the Empresarios are adept at mixing diverse cultures and sounds together. This five man collective led by Javier Miranda (Vocals, Congas, Producer) alongside John Bowen (Video DJ, Producer), Paul Chaconas (Guitar, Bass, Keys, Producer, Engineer), Sonny Cheeba (Brazilian/Latin DJ, Producer) and Sammy Arsam Khosh (House DJ, Producer) bring their own personal style to every track. There is no shortage of creativity among these talented musicians and DJs and their influences, from downtempo, dub, Latin, house, trip-hop and reggaeton can all be heard in their definitive, eclectic sound.
