In a sea of carbon-copy producers, The Funk Hunters have cultivated a signature sound by blending forward-thinking electronic music with old-school funk, soul, and hip-hop. The duo’s chemistry is perfectly aligned, creating brilliant technical sets across four turntables. Their vision has resonated globally, amassing over 50 million streams and earning them the title of Electronic/Dance Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards. Their catalog features a #1 Billboard Dance Club hit remix of U2’s “Love Is Bigger,” alongside official remixes for Selena Gomez, Imagine Dragons, and Big Gigantic. Renowned for their vibrant touring career, The Funk Hunters dominate dance floors at major festivals including Coachella, Burning Man, and Shambhala. As frequent collaborator Chali 2na notes, they are truly “the selectah’s of the century.”
With two decades of boundary-blurring sets, community-building, and crowd-igniting releases, Smalltown DJs have quietly become Canada’s underground house music heartbeat. 🎶❤️Their sound rises from the dance floors of festivals like Shambhala and Bass Coast — where energy runs high, and the music moves with the mountains. 🏔️⛰️Having been nominated for Underground Dance Single of the Year at the 2024 Juno’s, Smalltown aren’t chasing trends. They’re dialled in — refining a sound that’s warm, rolling, and built for connection.
Find him on the stage or in the mountains…Burchill was created from his passion for house music & through his involvement in the Western Canadian music scene over the last decade. He cut his teeth at the notorious Hifi Club in Calgary where he held his monthly residency, Field Trip — and has become a favourite on the festival circuit with stops at Shambhala, Wicked Woods, Rifflandia, and many more. On the production side, he’s got some HEAVY releases out to date with more on the way.
Calgary’s reigning queen of house, Esette’s 20+ years of delivering mesmerizing sets has made her a household name in Western Canada.She (Isis Graham) is one of the guiding forces of cultural phenomena such as The Alberta Electronic Music Conference, Girls on Decks, and the founder of our favourite summer weekly in YYC—Versions Patio Party. We’re STOKED to see what her and Miss Hazard dream up for their B2B on our intergalactic stage.
Always pushing boundaries in the name of creativity, Miss Hazard’s soundscape is an infusion of spacey textures and ethnic rhythms that mystically blend into a style of house that resists being classified into any specific genre. Her energy is electric and translates through the thick of a festival dance floor or the intimacy of a packed club. Get ready for a sunset B2B set w/Esette at our Intergalactic stage that brings ALL the feels…
Join Work Party & Wax Theory as they curate dance floor heat guaranteed to make you MOVE. Work Party means business in a power suit playing groovy sets influenced by the vibe and sounds of disco and house from across the globe. She embraces the connective and emotive aspects of house music to create dance floor memories of connection amongst friends and strangers. Wax Theory’s musical inner workings run deep. For him, music is not an obsession – it’s an inevitability. His all-consuming passion for shared sonic experience has translated at the musical intersection of house, disco, funk, soul, R&B, bass, folk and rock, and the sounds in his repertoire are universally heartfelt, warm, and filled with positive intention.
Those who’ve experienced the soundscape journey of Bass Panda know the energy he brings to the dance floor. Musically gifted, he blends incredible live saxophone performance with multiple genres, personal edits, mashups, tempo changes, and classics to create an incredibly unique audience experience. If you’ve caught him gracing the stages of Wicked Woods, Bring Your Love, The Womp, or Freezer Burn — you KNOW he’s going to throw down!
Joses musical style absorbs dance floor lessons learned from New York in the 70s, Italy in the 80s, London in the 90s, and France in the 2000s connecting disco to indie synth tunes and bad ass house music.Joses collabs include work with Kathy Brown, Angelo Ferreri, and James Curd and he’s the head dreamer behind YEG’s Disco In The Park….all the while spreading the gospel of good vibes, funky music and positive energy everywhere he goes.
Born out of the dusts of the desert on a magical sunrise morning, the Gold Dust Diva has a love of deep funky house, booty bouncing beats, and ALL the nostalgic throwback classics.Whether it’s in a basement of a dimly-lit club or rockin it at a festival, she’s passionate about keeping her dancefloor groovin. 💃🪩🕺When she’s not behind the decks, you’ll find her shaking it front-and-center making sure the vibe’s being set proper.
