In 2005, Funkerman topped the Dutch club charts with "Rule the Night" and "The One" and in 2007 he made the Dutch Top 40, the Mega Single Top 100 and the Mega Top 50 thanks to his collaboration with Fedde Le Grand under their "F to the F" alias with "Wheels In Motion".[3] In that same year, he made the international charts with the track "Speed Up",[4] which eventually got him signed by UK-based label Defected Records. In 2008, he delivered several remixes and released "3 Minutes To Explain", again a collaboration with Fedde Le Grand.
The song "Speed Up" is available as a downloadable track on the Xbox 360 karaoke game Lips.[5]
In May 2011, both Funkerman and Raf Jansen signed an exclusive publishing deal with Sony ATV,[6] and they started a new record label called Can You Feel It Records.
In January 2015, his collaboration with Hardwell featuring I-Fan ("Where Is Here Now") was included on Hardwell's debut album United We Are.
