The soldiers of the Northern Faction deliver a message of bass, beats and peace in
the fifth instalment of Balanced Records' signature series. Northern Faction 5 takes
a dubwise dive across both Canadian and global culture. Full on reggae and dubstep
breath deeply alongside nu jazz and fractured beats while telling a story of hope in
a corrupted world. Rich and complex, this compilation may require several listens to
fully digest.
Fresh Canadian beats are featured from Juno Award winners Dubmatix and Kellylee Evans
as well as recent nominee Rise Ashen. Northern Faction 5 brings together the best
from Canada's conscious dancefloor producers, including Citizen Sound feat Ammoye,
Lotek & Demus J, Hitori Tori, Earlyworm, Rcola, Katalyst 5 in collaboration with Rise
Ashen as well as tracks from Redworm, Nate Wize and Version Xcursion.
Showcasing artists from around the globe, Northern Faction 5 also features
contributions from the UK's Richie Phoe, Amsterdam's Process Rebel, South Africa's
7FT Soundsystem, New York's J57 and Subatomic Sound System and San Diego's
Tranzformer. Balanced's central agency is fully represented by Billy Rockwell and The
Seed Organization and Kasm. Northern Faction 5 is available through
balanced-records.com and digital outlets including iTunes, Emusic, Amazon, Juno,
Bagpak, Wax Poetics, and others.
