Playful, fun and unashamedly technical, Dutch duo Homework bring the funk to any party they attend. Since 2007 – their introductory phase as suited and rigid showmen – Tom Waist and Zip Stolk have transcended genre with flair, style and ease, pummelling through varying strains of house music and creating a name for themselves with their inch perfect sets.

They’ve released on ‘Fissa Tune EP’ on Exploited and ‘Trumpet Express’ on Jesse Rose’s Made to Play which launched them onto the elite of the world’s premier beat-jackers and see’s them playing some of the best clubs the world over from Panorama Bar to Paris’ Social Club and release the mind blowing ‘Hudson Square’. We’ve been keen on these disco’n’house kids for a while now – and after they crammed in an incredible 31 tracks in 15 minutes on their MobileMix, DT welcomes the eccentric, stylish and acutely-tuned duo back for our latest DT Podcast. We’re also keen to see if they break their own record…

Sum up this podcast in 10 words…
Well, It is what it is and so be it.

What’s your personal favourite track on it?
Hmm… all of the tracks are special to us in some way or another, otherwise we wouldn’t have selected them for this mix. Moodymanc – Black Paint (Larry Heard’s After Dark Mix) might be our personal favourite. Not only because it samples a beautiful poem by Gil Scott-Heron, but also because Larry Heard’s genius once again ups the ante with his mix. So lush it’s maddening.

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
There is only one answer to that question and it’s the saddest, least ballsy answer imaginable. The special ingredient is: ?

What’s the best gig you’ve played recently?
Springfestival in Graz, Austria was a good one. Nice people, great crowd and we were very proud of our set. Sadly we always forget to record our dj sets.

What have you got coming up?
On June 20th our new EP on Made To Play will be released, entitled Rally Racquet Club EP: two originals and two remixes – by the Beatport #1 boys, Oliver $ and Samim – of the title track. In July there will be a Remixes EP of our Hudson Square EP coming out on Exploited. We’ll leave you guessing about the details on that one… There is also another, special and very secret release coming out in July, but we can’t even tell you who’s releasing it. But trust us, it will be special and… on vinyl. Also got a couple of remixes coming up for Andre Crom & Martin Dawson (OFF) and Nufrequency (Rebirth). Apart from these actual releases we’re always working on new material.

And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Since Orbital are working on a new album, yes. Worf take it away! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC6508_1FV0
