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's
We 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

These questions are not very clear . . .
Good to hear from THP despite some of the most generic questions ever asked;)
