Ghostbeard — Fri, 11 May 2012 04:17:12 +0000

And… we’re back! Sud-West 2012 There’s a rumble soon to return from the South-West part of the island. Sure that noise is partially the crumbling infrastructure of the Turcot Exchange, but it’s also going to be coming from the very corruption free and non-taxable sound system called Sud-West. Man called Poirier and the another man called Ghostbeard are returning canal side for the [...]

Paying It All Back : An On U Sound Tribute

Ghostbeard — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:06:51 +0000

Back in the mid-80’s I was in the back seat of a car. In the passenger seat was one of the local skinheads from my home town (one of the non-racist/non-asshole skins… I believe his name was Rob… Rob… if you’re reading this!) who popped in a tape of Time Boom X De Devil Dead [...]

Jan 27th : Sud-West Igloofest Winter Edition

Ghostbeard — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:48:13 +0000

Oh hey… been a bit. DJ’ing has taken a bit of a back seat to diaper changing. Although my kid has figured out that volume dial and true to form always wants to turn it up. But it’s time to leave the house again! Myself & Poirier are taking our outdoor summer monthly Sud-West for a [...]

Remember back on May 31st at the first Sud-West when we were all like “Man, I hope this summer never ends”. Well unfortunately we all know what’s just around the corner here in Montreal. So before you pull the jackets out again and count the days until Igloofest when you can party [...]

Ghostbeard vs. The Upsetter

Ghostbeard — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 04:34:46 +0000

Lee Perry… The Upsetter… Scratch Perry… One of the most legendary producers in the history of reggae. If any one person deserves a mix of just their material it’s him. I make no claim as to this being completist, chronological, covering all eras… it’s just some of my favorite Lee Perry moments put together. All [...]

July 26th : Sud-West 3

Ghostbeard — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 19:53:41 +0000

That time again! Damn the summer passes fast. Only one more chance to Sud-West after this July edition. Don’t miss. Weather looks good so far. I’ll take my chances on a 40% chance of rain considering our last edition went down under a threat of 95% death by lightning that never materialized. St. Ambroise Terrace [...]

Good god… it’s been awhile. Just dusting off my diaper changing skills and Mega-Blocks steeze and getting back on the decks. New mixes forthcoming… but most importantly… it’s the return of Sud West : Time for your favorite Franco-Anglo duo, Poirier & Ghostbeard, to drop onto the St Ambroise terrace for another summer of Tuesdays. It’s the [...]

Feb 26th : Karnival!!!

Ghostbeard — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 21:14:57 +0000

In a continuing mission to bring the tropical heat to a Montreal winter, I’ll be dropping in for a guest slot at (my Sud-West co-host’s) Poirier’s wildly popular Karnival. Nuit Blanche edition which means it’s free free free… and at Club Soda for expanded capacity for this edition. We rocked this shit last year and [...]
