The Faction Sound Crew is very honored to be nominated again for multiple Stylus Awards this year. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for us and lent us their support. Dj's Tanner and Arems have been on their grind from coast to coast playing 4 times with in the last year at the Guverment in Toronto (Canada's biggest club rated top 5 in North America), including during Caribana, in addition to various other Toronto clubs on adjacent nights and in various other Canadian cities such as Edmonton, Calgary and Ottawa. Touring has also taken them to the U.S., Asia and Europe and the Factions Mixtapes are spreading around the globe with each tour and, of course, through the internet.
Hard work, along with all of your support, seems to have paid off with The Faction's nomination for Canadian Club DJ's of the Year as well as DJ Arems nomination for 2009 Vancouver DJ of the Year. After being nominated in 3 categories last year, with DJ Arems taking home the 2008 Stylus Award for Vancouver DJ, and the first nomination we recieved in 2007 for mixtape DJ of the year, we are very thankfull to be nominated once again this year. DJ's Arems and Tanner are heading to the Stylus Awards May 28th to June 2nd to represent Vancouver to the fullest.
