IRON LYON - GET WELL SOON!!!

Our homey and newest member of the Faction - DJ Iron Lyon headed down to Miami at the beginning of this month for what was to be a sunny winter away from New York City filled with new residencies at huge Miami clubs and tons of beach action. Three days after arriving to Miami he purchased a scooter, pictured above, to get around town and B-line for the beach. Miami life at any price came to a smashing halt though when a city bus side swiped and then ran over our boys arm the day after his purchase. 12 days later we finally heard from Iron Lyon who had been recovering in a Miami hospital with an arm that was broken in four places. He's doing ok now but with not much feeling in one of his hands - djing is out of the question for now until his arm heals more and he goes through some rehab. We're all hoping that things will be back to normal by mid January and he'll be back on the wheels destroying it like only he can. HEAL UP and stay safe homey...and LAWSUIT too!!! Hahaa...we wish you all the best and a speedy recovery.

Legendary Dancehall Artist SHINEHEAD w/ DJs JFX and Arems at Fortune Nov 3, 2010

This Wednesday November 3rd don't miss the legendary Shinehead with guests DJ JFX and DJ Arems. First 50 pre-sales available now for only $7!!! Carl Aiken a.k.a. “Shinehead”/ “2Face”, began his artistic career circa in 1980, via the dancehall sound systems of New York where he paid dues until March of 1988 when he was signed to Elektra Records with the help of his long time friend – the legendary: “Jam Master Jay” of hip-hop pioneers: “Run DMC”. Already coming to the majors with a name for himself, not to mention tremendous talent, charisma and statesmanship, he stayed with Elektra Records until January 1995. In conversing with Shinehead and watching his concert, you get the idea of an articulate, yet “rough-n-rugged”, real-live, charming ragamuffin Peter Pan. His songs and live performances are generously seasoned with high energy, humor, plain old common sense, harsh reality, socio-economic commentary, matters of the heart, positive coaching in self esteem, especially for children & adolescents, tastefully done covers, craftily done twists of familiar tunes and yes his own brilliant originals.

In lieu of the show, I put together this mix featuring 6 Shinehead chunes, 6 Faction Dubplates and 6 more huge foundation chunes you should be familiar with. Grab the mix here!

1. Shinehead - Rough and Rugged
2. Burro Banton – Boom Wa Dis

New Faction Sound Crew Member - IRON LYON

I'm not sure why it took us so long to announce our new Faction Sound Crew member Iron Lyon but it's definitely over due. Many of you have noticed his name mentioned in our dubplates and some of you have gotten the chance to meet him. We've been linking up with Iron Lyon for over a year now and put him down with the team this past summer. Iron Lyon is an accomplished DJ and MC with many residencies in New York City and a brand new EP out on Fat Beats Records. We first met in New York through our mutual homie DJ Theory and collaborated on a few gigs in Brooklyn last year. Since then Iron Lyon has come through Vancouver and Toronto and is poised to make another pass through Vancity in November. Here's a rundown of his bio:

Iron Lyon Bio

Rocking the turntables since he was 14, Iron Lyon has produced numerous mixtapes, toured Japan as well as the U.S. & found his home in NYC for the last decade where he has become a well-known mixtape & club DJ. Lyon combines his roots in turntablism, his natural party rocking skills & his knack for reading a crowd spinning a diverse blend of hip hop, reggae, r & b, classics, electro and more. Recently Iron Lyon has DJ’d alongside the likes of DJ Premier, Questlove, Q-Tip, Funkmaster Flex, Kid Capri, Biz Markie and many more at large venues including Santos, Brooklyn Bowl & his current residency Greenhouse. Iron Lyon also has recorded & released two full-length albums featuring artists like Sean Price, Craig G, C-Rayz Walz, Ed O.G. & Slim Kid Tre where he showcases his lyrical abilities as well as his scratching skills. In addition, Lyon works in the South Bronx as a teacher for an after school program called Urban Art Beat where students learn to write, record & perform as well as music production & dance. Whether it’s from behind the turntables, on the microphone or in the classroom, Iron Lyon is dedicated to the art form, to the people & to the music.

In the coming weeks we'll be posting material from Iron Lyon including mixtapes and tracks but for now you can get to know him by downloading his first LP and the new single of his latest EP. Make sure you cop the new Foundation EP on Itunes or Amazon or even purchase it on VINYL. For more info on Iron Lyon visit his website IRONLYON.COM

Faction Sound Quebec Tour - Day 3 - August 29, 2010

After a quick trip to Gatineau and Ottawa, we're back in Montreal for the last night of this tour and the one spot we've been close to playing so many times - but never have. The Goon Tribe, DJ's Kid, Goldenchild, Jemz and MC Chops, have been holding down Tokyo Bar Sundays for almost 10 years. The night is legendary in Montreal and known Canada wide as the spot to be on a Sunday to hear dope hip hop and a lil dancehall too. We've been looking forward to tearing this night down for so long...and that's what we about to go do! Stay tuned for a Recap.

Faction Sound Quebec Tour - Day 2 - August 28, 2010

Things got a lil hectic and we didn't get a chance to post about Day 2 of the tour before it actually went down...so here's a recap. Although we'd played in Ottawa many a time, the city jus across the river was new territory to us. Gatineau lies only a 5 minute drive away from Ottawa but is in Quebec and is a mainly French speaking town. Our long time homey Kid SL had been holding down Pure for over a year now and from all his tweets and stories about the night, we were excited to finally play there. We arrived to find a well dressed crowd going awwfff to Kid SL's uptempo set and when we switched over we kept the vibe on the same level with non stop fist pumpers mixed in with some hip hop and dancehall. The large underground club stayed packed till the end of the night and we enjoyed every last minute of it. Big shouts to Pure and Kid SL for having us through...look for video from the night to be posted soon.

Faction Sound Quebec Tour - Day 1 - August 27 2010

It's been a minute since the Faction has been able to tour with more than just one member rolling out but DJ's Tanner and Arems finally put it together in a place we've never toured...Quebec! With all the spots we've been able to play in Canada and all over the world, Quebec was always somehow out of reach. This week our Quebec tour starts in Montreal and Sherbrooke on Friday August 27th. DJ Tanner will be joining Get Nice at Blizzarts in Montreal with DJ's Maysr and Guilty while DJ Arems link with DJ Blast in Sherbooke at Living Room. The tour takes us to Gatineau and back to Montreal for one last gig. Stay tuned for more info on the rest of the tour.

Stone Love Sound w/ Faction Sound plus Vancity's best July 9th, 2010

Tonight, at the Hungarian Community Hall, history will be made as every big Sound in Vancouver joins the world famous Stone Love for a sell off Dance not to be missed. If you like Dancehall music - make sure to be there. The party starts at 10pm and will most likely go all night so if you already have plans, make sure to stop by afterwards.

When you hear a DJ use the "air horn" sound effect in their set - it traces back to Stone Love - the first crew to ever use the sound. Here's a lil history on Stone Love if you are unfamiliar with the name:

There are over 200 sound systems in Jamaica to date, but when the question is asked as to which is the champion and reigning king of them all, without hesitation the response is ‘Stone Love’. Stone Love made their entry into the dancehall business in 1972 and for the past 28 years it has been the sound systems with he most potent and magnetic force to pull crowds and ‘cork’ any dancehall. The name Stone Love has become an international household name and it is the most sought after sound system today. Record producers, singers and Djs will do anything to hear tunes being played on the set. The dancehall massive will follow the sound to wherever end of the earth it goes to listen to the voices of their favourite entertainment idols.

ReYAnna - Roodbwoee Arems Rasklatt Remix

Here's the repost...with stoopid spelling...to elude babylon.
Not sure why this didn't get posted a while back but here it finally is. I did this remix a few months ago and it's since graced a couple mixtapes and many spins in the clubs. At the time the single was brand new and the acapella that's floating around on the net now wasn't out yet so i had to make one myself. The DIY acapella turned out pretty well and i put it on the '90s Up Close and Personal Riddim which spawned the hits "Everyone Falls In Love" by Tanto Metro and Devonte and "Sean Paul's Nah Get No Bligh." Grab the remix and nice up the dance.
