Guts & Poirier have been connected for a long time, but they've always been separated by the Atlantic Ocean. Guts is based in Spain and Poirier is based in Canada. However, it's precisely for Afro-Atlantic cultures that Guts & Poirier have spent most of their careers building multicultural bridges.

For the first time, they're teaming up for a European tour and have decided to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their respective iconic albums together.Guts with his legendary "Paradise For All" on Heavenly Sweetness and Poirier with his iconic "Running High" on Ninja Tune.

Guts

Without hip-hop, Guts wouldn’t be half the producer he is today. Hip-hop as inspiration, a gateway to so many different musical styles, the trigger for a continually expanding musical bulimia, the springboard from which he dived into a bottomless musical well. Hip-hop – which has been Guts’ true love for the last 25 years, despite its taking futile, gangsta and materialistic paths. Hip-hop – which in quarter of a century has driven him to spend whole nights with samplers, drum machines, expanders and vinyl, tapping on pads, adjusting the drums and honing his samples. Hip-hop – which is often done remotely nowadays by sending digital files back and forth. Guts has opted to make it shine like when it was all brand new, decided after three entirely instrumental albums to re-establish contact with rappers, vocalists, jazz players and soul men by packing up his productions and heading across the Atlantic to record them in their home surroundings in New York and California.
