Pre-Order Poirier's "Be Alright" EP, out October 20th on 12" & Digital
https://wonderwheelrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/be-alright-ep-2

Wonderwheel is happy to welcome in Montreal based producer & don dada Poirier for his first release on the label, the "Be Alright" EP. Moving away from the traditional dancehall, dub and soca sounds he’s become known for, Poirier delivers a 4 track of Afro-House influenced dancefloor firestarters. “Sowia” heads to South East Africa with it’s floating guitar hooks, big bassline, and vocals in Portugese from Canadian-Moçambican singer Samito. “Ginobili” goes into deeper territory with four to the floor drums, heavily chopped percussion, and a hypnotizing distorted Mbira line, while “Camera” continues the tropical vibe with a nod to Semba with it’s driving guitar lines, staccato synth lines and thumping drums. “Antilles Trax” rounds it out as the extended instrumental version of “Sowia”.

Poirier - Sowia ft. Samito

pensé este mix como un viaje por África, o más bien algunas partes de ella, que es para mí la madre de todas las fiestas, como un arcoiris sagrado. 
me gusta ver las distintas sonoridades retumbando en el cuerpo. cada ritmo, cada calidad, resonando en nuestros bailes, despertándolos. dejar que cada uno actúe y abra paso a las infinitas formas de celebración.
me gusta permitir que pase y me gusta invitarlxs a ustedes.

abrazos!

I conceived this mix as a trip troughout Africa, or actually through some parts of her, who is for me the mother of all parties, like a sacred rainbow.
I like to see the different sonorities reverberating in the body. Each rhythm, each quality, resonating in our dances, waking them up. And to let each one act and open up the way to the infinite forms of celebration.
I like allowing it to happen, and I would like to invite you.

Big hugs ! 
Mama tora

Qué Bueno Baila Usted!

This is a selection of a handful of Angolan 45s that have proven their spirit & longevity in my record collection. Here's to the slap-echo guitars, scratchy dikanza, hope, aspiration and musical beauty that flowered from Luanda. This sound has long informed the systems of Barranquilla and parallels cumbia, samba & compas in sonic ancestral synchronicity.

Qué Bueno Baila Usted!
