CU Saturday and Deep Down Inside present: HNTR

Toronto’s HNTR moves between house and techno with bass-forward grooves, clipped percussion and a shadowy tone that still leaves room for playful hooks. Founder of No Neon, he’s built a link between studio work and a local party ecosystem, shaping sets that hit hard without losing the swing. Early releases on Factory 93 and mau5trap set the pace, and a Juno Award in 2022 for underground dance marked a key step in his path. Recent cuts like “Yes B!tch” and “No Brake$” with Roshin, plus a remix of Cloonee’s “Stephanie,” keep the focus on short vocals, pressure-building breaks and drops made for late-night floors.

On stage, HNTR favors long blends, steady tension and drums that stay up front, reading the room and pushing momentum track after track. Expect a dark, punchy, melodic edge designed for a packed booth and low ceilings, with that No Neon sensibility threading through the night.

HNTR brings this energy to Commonwealth in Calgary on Saturday, April 18, 2026, for a CU Saturday takeover.
