Faction Toronto Tour Re-Cap

We linked up with Jim Flaherty, Canada's Finance Minister, at the airport to shoot the shit and talk about the next phase of the stimulus plan for this economy. If he listens to our tips we'll be all good by Christmas this year!

The second leg of the Canada wide tour was all about the T-Dot, 4 different clubs in 4 nights! Shout outs to Dj's Tilt and Illiment in Guelph! LRS played with us on Friday @ Rockwood in the downtown area. Saturday we were at The Guvernment and Sunday we were at Czehoski with homies Fathom and KaeWonder! Shout outs to Wristpect & Lancelot! And now what you have been waiting for....the pictures!!

Faction Remiz - DJ Arems' Rasklatt Remixes 1.1

So apparently posting remixes and blends isn't kosher with some people in this world. We posted some Rasklatt Dancehall Remixes a few days ago and the next day the post was gone. I guess some sort of laws were violated. Who knows. Here's a Re-Up of the two mixes that were posted the other day. Hopefully you're able to get these blends this time.

C.A.M. photo Shoot 1.0

Last year we did a couple of photo shoots with Clark Angus MacLeod (C.A.M.) in preparation for this blog, media kits, future tours and general promos. This is a sample of unfinished and finished photos of the very first shoot that Clark did for us. This shoot features Akshun and in between takes, Jenn in Akshun's clothes...hahaha!

Be on the lookout for C.A.M. photo shoot 2.0 featuring the entire Faction Sound Crew soon.

Soulove Mix CD - Just In Time for Valentine's Day

This CD came out a while back but it's still the one CD I get the most requests for a sequel to. I've been working on Soulove Part 2 for a long time but it's the track selection that always slows me down...so many dope songs to choose from. Part 2 should be out soon (this year forsure - haha) but for now I hope you'll enjoy part one if you never copped it. Soulove is one of the few CD's in the Faction's library that you can call timeless. This is the first time it's been available for download so grab it and make some babies. Happy Valentine's Day!
