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.

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.

Tanner are heading to the Stylus Awards May 28th to June 2nd to represent Vancouver to the fullest.

Damn! I know it's been a long ass time since we updated the blog but it's been an insane month and it's been hard to keep up. Thought we'd squeeze in one or two more before May ends tho. As many of you know, the 2009 Stylus DJ Awards are happening June 1st 2009 in Toronto and The Faction is in the T-Dot soaking up the festivities and playing some big parties as well. You're too late to catch us at Guverment as it went down last night (Friday May 29th) and was LARGE. Shout out to Ill Kidz, Wristpect, Hedspin, Pump, Starting From Scratch, Skratch Bastid and Jester who all did their thing. Tonight, if you are in Ontario, you've got a couple of options. Tanner will be playing at Lago in Ottawa with Kid SL for Glam Saturdays and you can catch Arems at Wet Bar/ Suite 106 in Toronto with DJ LRS. Hit djarems@djarems.com for guest list action on both of these events. Sunday night we head back to one of our favourite spots...Czehoski in Toronto with DJ's Fathom and Kae Wonder. It'll be the CD release party for our new BBQ mix CD Chillin, Illin and Grillin. We posting that next so stay tuned! Finally, Monday, we'll be partying at the Stylus Awards...thanks again to all our peoples that helped us get here with your support. Catch all the action on twitter: www.twitter.com/djarems
