Release info :
- The first single from No Ground Under (ZEN138 / ZENCD138) out October 31th in Canada
- Ghislain adds Face-T, a Montrealer by way of Jamaica, who provides some ragga bravado on vocals, to an impressive list of collaborators: Beans, TTC, Lady Sovereign, Champion, Buck 65, Lotek Hi-Fi, Pole, Radioinactive, DJ/rupture, DJ Collage, Omnikrom, Diverse, Bassnectar, Les Georges Leningrad, Cadence Weapon, so on and so forth.
- As a DJ, Ghislain can make a club bounce and has been rinsing out ‘Blazin’ to great effect. Its catchy vocals and bangin’ beats are a no-holds-barred, a cure-all for empty dancefloors.
- Side B contains two remixes, one by new Ninja signing The Bug, who reworks the track into a dubstep monster with an awesome 2 minute instrumental outro. The second remix has DJ C, a self confessed beat scholar, party scientist and ragga maniac toughening up the beat without giving up the boogie.
- Ghislain Poirier is a resident of Montreal, Quebec and has been releasing music since the turn of the century on labels such as Chocolate Industries, Shockout, Rebondir, Intr_version, Musique Large, and 12k.
- A video is in the works for ‘Blazin’ to coincide with the album release.
- Bonsound in Quebec will be promoting this single in conjunction with their campaign for No Ground Under and are pushing hard to print, internet, radio, djs and television in Quebec with Outside Music handling the rest of Canada.

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
