Poirier - Marathon

With numerous Montreal-based Poirier has become renowned for his bass-heavy remixes that continue to allure dancehall-fans around the globe. Off of his “Low Ceiling”-EP the producer drops the percussive frenzy “Marathon” that evokes a Major Lazer-like experience.

The results are equal parts grimey, sweat-inducing and fun-as-hell.
