The Funk Hunters emerged from Vancouver, British Columbia, crafting a genre-defining blend of electronic music infused with old-school funk, soul, and hip hop. The duo—Nick Middleton and Duncan Smith—built their signature sound through dynamic DJ sets and forward-thinking production, culminating in their debut album Typecast and a catalog of high-impact remixes for artists like U2, Big Gigantic, Gramatik, and Imagine Dragons. With over 50 million streams and collaborations with Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, their music bridges classic grooves with modern bass, earning them the title of Electronic/Dance Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards.
Known for their commanding stage presence and immersive live shows, The Funk Hunters have played sold out venues and major festivals across the globe, including Coachella, Burning Man, Electric Forest, Osheaga, Outside Lands, and Shambhala. Their performances feature a four-turntable setup and visual production that transforms each set into a high-energy spectacle. Fans and critics alike praise their ability to ignite dance floors with genre-blurring mixes and charismatic delivery, making them one of the most sought-after live acts in electronic music.
Currently on a North American tour with stops at Union Hall, The Palace Theatre, Capital Ballroom, and Commodore Ballroom, The Funk Hunters are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their Funk the Halls series. With recent singles like “Beat Don’t Stop” and “Home” remixing Moontricks, and upcoming festival appearances at Bass Coast and Festival d'été de Québec, they continue to be a cultural phenomenon—pushing boundaries and delivering unforgettable performances to fans worldwide.
