I just had to blog this clip, this could easily be the next big track of the year!!
I was lucky enough to ask the humpday project 8 questions about their thoughts and music, Catch them headlining This Saturday @ phonic! Where did you get your name from? We make music on Wednesdays to combat the boredom of the midweek. The Midweek Project just didn't sound as good.
Where do you draw your inspiration from? What music did you listen to before you started producing? (what were your 'roots') We both have really different musical background. I grew up digging metal than later developed a lifelong love for all things hip hop. I also love punk music and believe that both hip hop and punk are the two most important and influential music and cultural movements in modern history. Heath didn't have a childhood. He was just born the way you see him now except a really long time ago. He has been djing for around three hundred and fifteen years now. He used to play gabba and hardcore...no shit!
You seem to have remixed quite a variety of artists, From N.E.R.D to Justice and even Aerosmith! Are there any artists outside of this genre of music that you could say have influenced your style of production?I think everything from modern pop music to straight out ghetto shit. If you listen to music in terms of 'what elements do I like' you'll find something of value in almost everything even if you personal don't dig the genre.
What Music do you listen to on your ipod if your not producing or mixing?I don't own an ipod. At home I'm listening to a lot of big band revival stuff and some old ska punk records at the moment.
What has been the best show you have ever seen either Participate in or Spectated?I would have to say Stevie Wonder on his last tour. He broke down in tears while singing a cover of the Four Tops 'Sugar Pie Honey Bun'.
Who in your opinion is killing it Internationally and who is killing it Locally?Tittsworth, Dave Nada, Major Lazer, Rennaisance Man, Afrojack, Laidback Luke, L-Vis 1990, Edu K. Locally...Marky Mark & King Lee, Adam Zae, Doctor Werewolf, Derty Rich, Niggaz On Crack, Zug Zug, Dave Beres, A-Tonez.
What are the plans for the future? Any tours, EP'sWe have about five remixes ready for release on various labels one of which being a re-work of Dj Assaults classic 'Ass n Titties'.
Who would be the ultimate artists to play alongside?I would love to jam with Jesus.
Cheers to Steve from the Humpday Prject for making this possible

Watch our homeboy Simon Rip it up in germany @ parish W/ THE BEENS!
A-TRAK in my honest opinion is one of the most talented deejays to grace planet earth. When you’ve won the most coveted DJ competition in the world by the ripe old age of 15, one would wonder how you would top that. Aligning himself with the biggest jaw-breaking hip hop superstar the world has seen since the one-gloved moonwalker, you start to get an idea of the heights that DJ A-Trak has taken his incredible career.
My good friend (and phonic resident) Distrakt has sent me over some killer tracks he has produced for you guys in full quality! The kid has been ripping Germany a new one and is set to tear up Netherlands this weekend and also play the Reebok pumps 20th anniversary party!
His original 'The Wrecker' has to be my favorite of the two, some crazy samples and the unique flow of the song make his ever progressing, eccentric production techniques stand out to a point where he has created his own style and separated him from the rest of the clones. This has to be one of his best achievements to date.

His remix of Sterehoes (not to be confused with stereoheroes) is also a huge track with a thumping bass and crazy distortion which will keep the munters happy working perfectly with a much more chilled breakdown which captures the original synth work and will keep ladies on the dancefloor.

Glass Mirrors are rad kids from down Melbourne town. The original purveyors of the goon party, their shows usually end up in sweaty nakedness, usually from the bitches. According to them they are the aural equivilent of your newborn child's coke addiction because you couldnt stop racking up while pregnant you fucking irresponible parent... but yes they are actually quite good at the disc jocking. Having recently supported acts in the last few months such as Passions, Le Caslevania, Shazam, Van She Tech, Dre Skull, Lady Gaga, Danger, Grum, Strip Steve plus many more and having played afterparties for the likes of Tiesto, multiple Ministry of Sound tours and a fuckload of other shit they know how to throw down some serious gay in the bum.
They run some loose parties too. On top of all this cool they make tracks, not to mention touching other people's songs in very innaproptiate places. Having said all this they are self confessed "scene DJs' obsessed with all things fashion related and they also hate all jocks. They will be touring Sydney this year and everyone should come grind with them when they do.
The boys were kind enough to send us a mini mixtape for you to grind too!
