The Halluci Nation
The Halluci Nation is an Aboriginal Canadian disk jockey collective that blends instrumental hip hop, reggae, moombahton and dubstep-influenced dance music with elements of First Nations music, particularly vocal chanting and drumming. The group's music has been labelled as powwow-step, a style of contemporary powwow music for urban First Nations in the dance club scene; popularized by the media as a description of the band's unique style, the term originated as the title of one of the band's earliest songs.
The group consists of Tim "2oolman" Hill and Ehren "Bear Witness" Thomas. The group was founded in Ottawa, Ontario, in 2007 or 2008 as A Tribe Called Red (ATCR) by Bear Witness, Ian "DJ NDN" Campeau and Jon "Dee Jay Frame" Limoges. Dan "DJ Shub" General joined the group shortly after its formation and Frame departed as the group shifted from live performances to recording. Shub left the group in 2014 and was replaced by Hill, and Campeau left the group in 2017. The group changed its name to The Halluci Nation in April 2021.
The group has released four albums and has been recognized with national awards including Juno Awards for Breakthrough Group of the Year (2014) and Producer of the Year (2017).
