…is an Afro, Brazilian, Latin, Caribbean Funk and Soul music festival/community.
I checked this out
I’ve been a long fan of Ghislain Poirier, but I’ve just never gotten the chance to see him in person…so I was pretty delighted when they announced a surprise guest DJ I’ve been a long withstanding fan of as well, DJ Rupture 😊
=========================
Dub Connection Sound System and Dub Stuy Records are also affiliated with these guys
I’m a huge Poirier (Montreal, Quebec)Â and Fwonte (Port-au-Prince, Haiti based in Montreal, Quebec) fan so…
They played some of my favourite tunes
Jokma (Poirier ft. Mr. OK)
Here’s the original track
and they also played Trafik (Fwonte)
Here’s the original track
Loved the setup too.
====================
Here’s a great talk in Montreal by Poirier, “Play: It’s a Serious Thing”

PS.
Speaker Fucking
“Verb phrase;
Standing right in front of the speakers, whether dancing or not. While it may feel really fucking good for the speaker fucker, this usually diminishes the sound quality for everyone listening to the music and is generally frowned upon by those who do not speaker fuck. Side-effects of speaker fucking generally include eventual deafness, desensitization to vibration, and feeling really fucking good while you’re doing it.
“I was speaker fucking for the last ten tracks and my bones are still quakin’ from the bass shakin'”
– Urban Dictionary
It’s not my thing anymore these days but I used to speaker fuck my face off.
If you’ve never done it… you’re missing out.
