Justin Hiroshi Klunk (born December 1, 1990)[1] is an American saxophone player and flutist based out of Los Angeles, CA.

A native of Torrance, California, Klunk grew up taking piano lessons. He was introduced to the saxophone prior to beginning middle school. During his eighth grade year, Klunk joined David Benoit's Asian American Youth Orchestra which sparked a desire to become a professional musician. He attended Los Angeles County High School for the Arts before graduating from the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music in 2013 with a degree in Popular Music Performance.[2]

In July 2013, Klunk was recruited to play saxophone for Ariana Grande on her first tour and additionally played saxophone during her performances at the 2014 and 2015 American Music Awards (AMAs). Other artists he has worked for include Saint Motel, Lindsey Stirling, Leon Bridges, and David Foster. His flute and saxophone works can be heard in the TV shows WandaVision, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, the reboot of iCarly, Modern Family, and Dr. Ken.[3]

In 2019, Klunk joined with fellow USC alum and singer-songwriter Annie Dingwall to form the music duo RAINNE. RAINNE completed their first US tour in 2019 and later that year opened for headliners Taylor Swift, Lizzo, Jonas Bros, and Billie Eilish at the We Can Survive concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.[2]

Klunk joined the touring lineup of The Midnight during the spring dates of the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 Tour[4] and has been the band's primary saxophone player ever since. In addition to saxophone, he also plays synths for the band.

Klunk's debut album, Kindness Is Mandatory, was released on September 8, 2023.[5] In 2025, he made his first contributions to a The Midnight release, playing saxophone on the songs Runaways and Fatal Obsession from Syndicate.

Singles from The Midnight Remixed

The Midnight Remixed is the first remix album by The Midnight. It was released through Silk Music on August 14, 2017.[1] The album contains remixes of songs from Days of Thunder and Endless Summer.

Prior to the release of The Midnight Remixed, Silk Music issued singles for the songs WeMoveForward, Sunset, and Days of Thunder.[2][3][4] These single releases included the original songs as well as their corresponding remixes that would later be included on the album. A fourth single, Synthetic, was issued after the album's release and contains an additional four remixes of the song that didn't appear on the album.[5]

The Midnight Remixed was a milestone release for the band. It was their first album to be associated with a label and their first release to appear on a Billboard chart, peaking at number 22 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums Chart.[6][7] It was also the first The Midnight album to feature the band's second logo on the cover art, which continues to be used today. The success of The Midnight Remixed led to Silk Music releasing a second The Midnight remix album two years later, The Midnight Remixed 02.

Background

The first collaboration between The Midnight and electronic music label Silk Music was the March 2016 release of the single WeMoveForward. This single included the original song, its instrumental version, and a new remix by Talamanca.[8] Another single, Days Of Thunder, was released later that year in August and included the original song and a new remix by PROFF.[9]

On July 24, 2017, Sunset was announced as the third The Midnight remix single from Silk Music.[10] The same day, it was confirmed that a full remix album was coming with a planned release date of August 14, and the album art and track list were revealed.[11]

The Midnight Remixed was a success for the band and Silk Music, charting at number 22 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums Chart.[6][7] This was the first time a release by The Midnight charted on Billboard.[12] Silk Music followed this up by releasing a fourth and final single on December 18, Synthetic.[13] This single did not include the original song but instead featured five remixed versions of it.

Official description

Consisting of Danish-born (LA-based) producer Tim McEwan and NYC-based singer-songwriter Tyler Lyle, The Midnight have emerged in recent years as a veritable leader of the synthwave resurgence. More specifically, the duo have received generous support from legions of synthwave enthusiasts, as well as more casual synth-pop fans, ever since their aesthetic-defining debut EP, "Days of Thunder" (2014). Their subsequent LP offering, "Endless Summer" (2016), cemented the duo's reputation as one of the finest new synthwave acts, a sentiment that musical legends (Chicane), renowned artist peers (FM-84), and prominent genre hubs (NewRetroWave) have graciously reinforced of late. The Midnight Remixed, one of our most ambitious releases to date, features brand new remixes by a distinguished group of Silk Music veterans, whose melodic and atmospheric sound has significantly helped to define our brand. We've also recruited a few famed nonresident label contributors, including Lifelike and Michael Cassette, whose specific compositional gifts and musical legacies seemed especially apropos to this 80s-influenced endeavor.

The Midnight Remixed showcases breathtaking new interpretations of The Midnight's past work, ranging in style from drum & bass and deep house to trance & progressive. Michael Cassette, Johan Vilborg, Dezza, Lifelike, PROFF, Terry Da Libra, Sundriver, and Talamanca's exhilarating, club-oriented interpretations feature rapturous chords, and, of course, Tyler's mellifluous and infectious vocal hooks. Offerings from Marsh, Vintage & Morelli, eleven.five, and Mango vs. We Are All Astronauts convey a deeper and more introspective musical tone, but are nonetheless equally memorable.
