In a sea of carbon-copy producers, The Funk Hunters have cultivated their signature
sound by creating forward-thinking electronic music that is influenced by old school
funk, soul and hip-hop.
As longtime friends, collaborators, and multi-dimensional artists, Nick Middleton and
Duncan Smith’s chemistry is perfectly aligned. Middleton steers the band’s studio
efforts, having produced, co-written, and mixed their debut album, TYPECAST. And
Smith anchors the project’s live show with an indefatigable charisma that compliments
Middleton’s thoughtful production. Together they combine their powers as DJs,
resulting in a brilliant technical display of creative collaboration between 4 turntables.
Their vision has resonated with both listeners and industry tastemakers alike, with
their music amassing over 50 million track streams across their catalog of original
productions, remixes and collaborations. Winners of the Electronic/Dance Artist of the
Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards, The Funk Hunters also reached #1 on
the Billboard Dance Club Chart with an official remix of U2’s “Love Is Bigger.” Their
catalog also includes other official remixes for Big Gigantic, Gramatik, Opiuo,
Haywyre, The Polish Ambasador, Dub FX, Selena Gomez, and Imagine Dragons.
In addition to studio work, The Funk Hunters enjoy a vibrant global touring career with
major festival plays at Coachella, Life Is Beautiful, Lightning in a Bottle, Electric
Forest, Osheaga, Outside Lands, Burning Man, and Shambhala. They consistently
play to the biggest dance floors in the world – frequent collaborator Chali 2na of
Jurassic 5 fame has called them “the selectah’s of the century.”
