DJ Arems - The Best Of Popcaan Mix CD

Popcaan has been one of my top 3 Dancehall artists for a long time now and with him coming to Vancouver this Sunday I thought it was the perfect time to put together a mixtape of his biggest chunes. This mix incorporates 46 of my favourite Popcaan tracks including 5 Faction dubplates and his newest track "Unruly Rave" which was just released today. Download it now and make sure to come through his concert June 9th at Barnone. Big shout outs to Rhek for the dope cover art.

DJ Tanner has returned from NYC especially for this event and we will be dropping some exclusive shit! I could go on and on about this but the reality is - it sold out so if you don't have a ticket - I feel sorry for you.

Always an ill party and always PAKD!!! I'd say hit me for guest list but it's only 6 bux at the door so gather your twoonies instead and meet us there!
