10 years of Faction Sound Crew has been pretty ill. Back in 2001, DJs Arems, Tanner and Akshun broke off from a wider collective they had been djing with and formed the Faction Sound Crew. Ever since then, things have been getting bigger and better. From touring the world to doing multiple residencies in Vancouver, Whistler and now New York and Miami… the Faction has been locking things down – but there’s far more to come. The addition of our MC, Matt the Trigga, back in 2006 brought a new edge to the crew’s group performances and in 2009 another crew member was added – New York’s Iron Lyon, for even more fire power.
We all grew up and started djing with RAP music, therefore, it’s only fitting that Iron Lyon sets off the Faction’s 10 Year Anniversary Mix CD with a throw back to the golden era, laced with a few faction Rap Dubplates, and even a track from Iron Lyon himself.
Arems comes with the all Dubplate section consisting of mainly dancehall dubs remixed over current and golden era hip hop beats. More RAP dubplates can be found in his section which show cases a lot of his favourite artists from the past and present.
Tanner shuts shit down with a Moombahton finale that will have any fan of music in general nodding their head to the pounding beats and smoothed out remixes of familiar songs now transformed into the new Moombahton genre.
If you haven’t gotten a copy of this CD from us jus make sure to ask us for one. Here is the one track download link for your listening pleasure. Please spread the link around and share it as much as you can. Thanks so much for all your support over the past decade.
