As the sun sets over the city skyline, two lone figures lurk in the shadows of twilight. From within the confines of their Surry Hills studio hideout, the sounds of the new club revolution can be heard echoing over the rooftops, throughout the city and deep within the hearts of our two heroes.
The year is 2007 and the stench of decaying genres, stale DJs and lifeless club nights hangs thick over Sydneybut a change is coming. For our two heroes had created a formula. A formula that would bridge the gap between the mainstream club sound and the underground. This formula would lead The Hump Day Project (THDP) to create their first piece of awesome pie. A bootleg of The Potbelleez Dont Hold Back, which was equal parts ghetto and glam and gained major support from The Potbelleez themselves. For years to come, The Potbelleez would use the THDP edit as an intro to their sets. Many more jams were to come and THDP quickly became blog-a-sphere darlings as their sound began to resonate around the globe. In mid-2008, the Utah Saints, at the height of their come back campaign, dropped the Humps bootleg edit of Chemical Brothers Hey Boy, Hey Girl on Annie Nightingales BBC Radio 1 show. THDP had now been introduced to the UK scene and the likes of Stanton Warriors, Beat Vandals and A-Skillz were all tuned into the Hump Day vibe. Fast forward to December 2009 and BBC Radio 1 gives our boys a nod once again. This time its the quintessential taste-maker, Pete Tong. Pete Tongs Essential Mix has a cult following across the world and the tracks he selects each week are seen as a sneak peek into what will be hot in club land for months to come. The choice of THDPs remix of Chardy feat. Bright Whites I Like (Neon Records) as his closing track for that weeks show was kind of a big deal. Closer to home, high profile jocks like Ajax, Danny T and Grant Smillie have been flogging the remix with Grant even dropping it on his mix for the One Love Sound Machine 2010 compilation. The Hump Day Project have had releases on BamBam Muzik, Generation, No Frills, Sweat It Out, Gulp Communications, Neon Records, Destination?, Hussle (Ministry Of Sound) & One Love. Not just a powerful production duo, THDP have proven they can rock the club. Currently holding residencies at some of Sydneys most established and influential nite clubs Candys Apartment, Le Rouge (formerly Moulin Rouge) and Chinese Laundry (Australias #1 club DJ Mag 2009). In September 2008, THDP launched Big Trouble @ Chinese Laundry. A club night dedicated to promoting fresh local talent and pushing awesome music regardless of genre. International headliners included Chase & Status, Jack Beats, A.C Slater and Plump DJs. The success of Big Trouble would later lead the boys to create Troublemakers Music, a free online music label with fellow Troublemakers Doctor Werewolf, Derty Rich, Dave Beres, A-Tonez, Marky Mark & King Lee (check out www.troublemakers.net.au). The Hump Day Project continue to go from strength to strength with every new piece of production and party rockin DJ set.
