FACTION SOUND CREW BIO:
Good things happen when tight knit friends with a deep love of music decide to join forces. After practicing and honing their skills as bedroom DJs, Arems, Tanner and Akshun soon found themselves playing in lounges, DMC battles and smaller clubs around the way. All three DJs got involved in college radio as well and by the time they met in Vancouver it did not take long for a bond to form. The Faction Sound Crew was formed in 2001 by Dj's Arems, Akshun & Tanner and was joined by hypeman MC Trigga in 2006. Residencies at some of Vancouver's bigger night clubs soon popped up and the crew began working on Mixtapes and Radio Production.
Four years later The Faction found themselves opening for world class DJs and urban artists all over British Columbia. Their mixtapes soon caught the attention of a wider audience across Canada and began spreading around the globe. Currently the Faction has released 15 mixtapes in group and solo projects with a diverse range of musical styles including Club Bangers, Underground Hip Hop, R&B, Dancehall, B-More and Electro. In 2007 the Faction was nationally recognized at the Stylus Awards with a nomination for best mixtape. 2008 brought 3 more Stylus DJ award nominations including Best Mixtape, Best Canadian Reggae DJ, and Favourite Vancouver DJ which was won by DJ Arems.
As of late the world has come calling. In 2007 the Faction embarked on an Asian tour playing in the mega clubs of Shanghai, Taiwan and Hong Kong as well as doing many dates all over Canada. 2008 found the Faction touring in Europe and also included 2 National tours playing at some of Canada's largest mega clubs including multiple dates at the Guverment in Toronto (rated one of the top 5 clubs in North America).
Locally The Faction has been holding down residences at Vancouver's hot spots for unheard of lengths of time with over 6 years at the Plaza club, and 7 years at Whistler's Savage Beagle. Their infamous industry night at Balthazar, Sunday Night Soundsystem ran for 5 years and established Sundays as a big night to party in Vancouver. The Faction Sound Crew has played in every club in Vancouver and can be currently found DJing six nights a week at, Shine, Richards on Richards, Tonic, The Plaza and at Whistler's Savage Beagle. If you've found an insane party you've most likely found where the Faction is playing.
