The Funk Hunters Present: "THE HARVEST" - 2011 Mixtape

The long awaited follow up to last year's "Open Season" mixtape, "The Harvest" is the latest from Canada's rising duo, The Funk Hunters. Packed with a ton of unreleased material, The Funk Hunters flex their production skills and unleash a mixtape that offers a snapshot into their recent live shows - exclusive original material intricately woven together with choice acapellas and key track selections that intelligently take the listener through a myriad of styles and genres.

"The Harvest " features never heard before bass heavy remixes of classic artists such as The Who, Neil Young, and Fleetwood Mac, as well as new collaborations with scene leaders such as JPOD, DJ Wood, Pimpsoul, Timothy Wisdom, and Livingstone & Canosis. The Funk Hunters also introduce a new narrative concept to their mixtape, seeking out archived interview clips of some of the original musical acts that they have sampled or remixed and adding them into the mix, all alongside newly recorded vocal drops from The Rootsellers, Shamik, and Crystal Precious.

Thanks goes out to our friends and family around the globe for all the amazing support this year!
