Genre-bending trailblazers Big Gigantic have joined forces with The Funk Hunters and Jurassic 5’s Chali 2na to drop “Beat Don’t Stop,” a track tailor-made for festival stages and late-night dancefloors.
Out now via Westwood Recordings, the new collaboration showcases slick production with thumping four-on-the-floor drums and a chugging bassline. Meanwhile, Big Gigantic’s signature saxophone riffs and The Funk Hunters’ bouncy grooves add the unmistakable flavor their fans have come to know and love.
The chemistry between the three acts feels effortless, a result of years of shared history onstage and in the studio. And that history runs deep. The Funk Hunters and Chali 2na have a long track record of collaborations, from 2014’s “Do This For You” and 2016’s Illelectric EP to fan-favorite singles such as “Get Involved” (with Defunk) and “All of a Sudden” (with Dr. Fresch), among others. They’ve also shared stages at festivals like Rifflandia, Shambhala and Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
Earlier this month, The Funk Hunters rinsed the new track at Griz’s inagural Seven Stars Festival.
“Teaming up with The Funk Hunters and Chali 2na on this track was such an exciting process for us,” Big Gigantic said in a statement. “We wanted to blend our raw energy with the Funk Hunters sound and Chali’s unmistakable flow, and the result is a high-octane bass house record.”
“Beat Don’t Stop” marks the second time The Funk Hunters and Big Gigantic have teamed up following “Higher” from the former’s 2020 album Free Your Mind. The Funk Hunters also remixed the duo’s track “Got The Love” from Brighter Futures. The two groups’ shared vision for funky, feel-good electronic music shines through.
With Big Gigantic currently touring in support of their new album Fluorescence and celebrating the 13th edition of their “Rowdytown” takeover at Red Rocks, “Beat Don’t Stop” arrives as the perfect soundtrack to their high-energy live sets. And for The Funk Hunters, it’s another reminder of why they remain one of Canada’s most forward-thinking dance duos.
