DJ Arems - East Coast Tour Recap and Photos (Toronto to NYC)

On November 3rd I headed East to do 5 nights in Toronto and New York. The tour was ill and I got to dj at a lot of nice spots with a lot of dope DJs! Toronto saw me play Sake and Soul at Dazzling and Heart of the City at Woo Lounge. Big shout outs to BIG Jacks, DJ J-Class and Kariz for throwing pakd douche-bag-free parties in a City where it's hard to get away from the fist pumpers. After that I headed South to NYC to link up with DJ Tanner and do a trio of dancehall nights in the Big Apple.

Monday Night was INSANE at Tammany Hall for Rice and Peas with DJs Gravy, Max Glazer, Micro Don, Maya and Skerrit Bwoy among others. The house was packed with dancers and the vibe was crazy all night. Stay tuned for Video of what happened around 3am when Skerrit Bwoy got on the mic.

Tuesday night saw the Faction at Riddim N Vibes inside No Malice Palace with DJ Autograph, Golden and Rampage Sound Global for a night of strictly dancehall and BERE VIBES. On Wednesday I was lucky enough to do a guest spot on East Village Radio with Max Glazer and Autograph for the Federation Invasion. I did a half hour dubplate set (by request) and the audio from that show will be posted shortly

Thursday found me inside and completely rammed Happy Ending for Brand New Machine with Max Glazer and Autograph. The club used to be a massage parlor and still has the remnants of Steam Rooms and Shower Heads everywhere. Super ill club and a really dope Party. Many thanks to all of the DJs I played along side with. You can peep all the photos from the tour by CLICKING HERE.

Faction Sound Crew's East Coast Weekend!

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.
