				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Montréal, 12 février 2013</p>
<p><strong>CHANTAGE CULTUREL</strong></p>
<p>Je me fiche de l&#8217;état de la chanson au Québec. C&#8217;est plutôt l&#8217;état de la musique qui me préoccupe. Quand je vois qu&#8217;un Forum sur la chanson québécoise est organisé par le Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ), je me dis que le postulat de départ est d&#8217;emblée erroné et que tout ce qui s&#8217;ensuivra sera par conséquent loin de la réalité. Qui plus est, beaucoup ont tendance à sauter tout de suite de la chanson québécoise à la chanson francophone, comme si les deux ne faisaient qu&#8217;un. Distorsion des mots. Distorsion du sens.</p>
<p>Réduire la musique aux mots et à la langue est une grave erreur. La musique mérite mieux que ça. Les artistes et musiciens ont le devoir d&#8217;être libres, d&#8217;explorer la matière comme ils le veulent. Si Malajube ne veut pas mettre la voix à l&#8217;avant-plan dans ses chansons au point de ne presque plus entendre les mots, pourquoi pas. Si un artiste veut s&#8217;exprimer dans une langue inventée ou qui n&#8217;est pas sa langue maternelle, pourquoi pas. La musique est un joyeux foutoir où tout est permis.</p>
<p>Personnellement, au fil des années, j&#8217;ai composé de la musique avec des chanteurs, des rappeurs, des <em>vocalistes</em> de tous les horizons. Plusieurs langues et accents se sont côtoyés dans mes productions allant de l&#8217;espagnol au créole, du patois au français et de l&#8217;anglais à l&#8217;arabe. Et ce n&#8217;est pas fini.</p>
<p>Le Québec d&#8217;aujourd&#8217;hui est multiple et même s&#8217;il ne l&#8217;était pas, ça ne changerait rien à la musique car celle-ci défie les frontières et les langues.</p>
<p>Tenter de culpabiliser les artistes parce qu&#8217;ils veulent chanter dans une langue plutôt qu&#8217;une autre est bien pernicieux. De plus, il existe déjà de sérieux incitatifs pour chanter en français au Québec par le biais de quotas radios et télés ainsi que de subventions.</p>
<p>Le Québec n&#8217;a pas besoin d&#8217;une mise au point au niveau des mots. Ce dont il a besoin c&#8217;est d&#8217;une sérieuse mise au point musicale afin de s&#8217;inscrire durablement dans le panorama mondial. En fait, ça se passe déjà, mais on dirait qu&#8217;un certain establishment ferme les oreilles et vit dans un passé idéalisé.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Je ne m&#8217;appelle pas DJ Poirier.<br />
Je ne me suis jamais appelé DJ Poirier.<br />
Jamais.<em> Nope</em>.<br />
POIRIER, tout simplement.<br />
Je suis musicien avant tout.<br />
Je n&#8217;ai jamais mis DJ devant mon nom d&#8217;artiste.<br />
Il y a quelques années j&#8217;utilisais aussi mon prénom, mais ce n&#8217;est plus le cas depuis 2009.<br />
J&#8217;ai sept albums à mon actif. Pas des mixes, des albums que j&#8217;ai composé de A à Z.</p>
<p>Ma raison d&#8217;être en tant qu&#8217;artiste c&#8217;est de créer de la musique originale, de construire des univers à partir de rien ou presque. Je ne compose pas non plus avec des tables tournantes. Il se trouve que je joue souvent dans un contexte et une configuration de DJ. Mais cela ne change pas par miracle mon nom.</p>
<p>C&#8217;est fou comme vous voulez tellement ajouter ces deux petites lettres &#8220;DJ&#8221; devant mon nom. Est-ce que c&#8217;est pour vous donner l&#8217;impression d&#8217;être hype et actuel? <em>Get over it</em>. C&#8217;en est ridicule à la fin. Revenez-en du culte du DJ.</p>
<p>Bon, à plus tard, j&#8217;ai une toune à terminer pour mon prochain album.</p>
<p>- Poirier</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got three new tunes on the EP compilation &#8220;<strong>Synesthesia #3 &#8211; Tactioception (Touch)</strong>&#8221; on UK label Senseless Records alongside Lenkemz and Walter Ego:</p>
<p>- What feat. Face-T<br />
- Festival<br />
- Ladrillo Por Ladriollo feat. Boogat</p>
<p>It&#8217;s released as a limited vinyl with 3 tracks only + poster and as a digital release with 7 tracks.</p>
<p>Listen to the snippets <a href="http://soundcloud.com/senselessrecords/synesthesia-3-tactioception" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
Buy it on <a href="http://senselessrecords.bandcamp.com/album/synesthesia-3-tactioception-touch" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> (vinyl/digital) or on  <a href="http://www.junodownload.com/products/synesthesia-no-3-tactioception-touch/1981056-02/" target="_blank">Juno Download</a> (digital).<br />
<a href="http://poiriersound.com/2012/08/02/senseless-records/senseless_vinyl/" rel="attachment wp-att-1168"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-1168" title="Senseless_vinyl" alt="" src="http://poiriersound.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Senseless_vinyl-630x534.jpg" width="448" height="379" /></a><br />
Press release:</p>
<p>Hot on the heels of Synesthesia #2 we&#8217;re going straight back in with another technicolour selection of bass music from around the world just in time for summer. Vocals feature heavily on this release with Senseless resident MC Dialect showcasing his tough northern grime flex all over an eski-juke anthem (instro included) from Lenkemz who has been getting support from Diplo, Toddla T, Basement Jaxx and many others recently. Next up we have one of our all time favourite artists and a big inspiration for the label, we&#8217;re very pleased to welcome Poirier with three absolute killers.</p>
<div>
<p>First up he teams up with long time collaborator <a href="http://face-t.net/" target="_blank">Face-T</a> for the bass heavy &#8216;What&#8217;, lets just say Sleng Teng in a 2K12 style. On &#8216;Festival&#8217; he channels African influences into a summer carnival workout and then flips it for the slower reggaeton-inspired &#8216;Ladrillo Por Ladrillo&#8217; featuring <a href="http://www.boogat.com/" target="_blank">Boogat</a> on vox. Finally we have a burning hot newcomer out of the furnaces in the Steel City, Walter Ego drops the monstrous Sidney St, a slab of futuristic 135 BPM grime named after the street where the legendary Niche club was held. More coming from him on Toddla T&#8217;s Girls Music and UTTU this year amongst others. Finally we have a deeper version of Walter Ego&#8217;s track, not on the release, watch <a href="http://soundcloud.com/senselessrecords" target="_blank">soundcloud</a>.</p>
