If one wonders what the distinct Homework sound is then much is to be found in their past aesthetic representation. When these two youngsters started messing around with turntables, back in 2007, they used to perform in immaculate white shirts and raven black ties. And even though longtime Dutch partners in musical crime Tom Waist and Zip Stolk have left this iconography behind, they still emanate an sense of clear-headed playfulness. Behind this swagger lies a wide-raging love for contemporary dance music that always comes in handy in the ever changing spheres of house music. Especially now that the genre is turning to ever stranger and/or vintage sources of inspiration. Since it all began in Amsterdam-based record store Concerto they've been looking for an innovative advance to music, sifting their way through trends and genres with the greatest of ease, always with a keen sense of class, style, aptitude and madness.

Much of their evolution as artists can be seen in their ever-changing production work. After long and hard work on a varied oeuvre of different material, the boys got catapulted into the international house scene through the release of their widely supported 'Fissa Tune EP' on Exploited and the accompanying hype surrounding the title track 'Fissa Tune', which, through consistent appraisal from the likes of Brodinski and Jesse Rose, found its way to many a chart and dj set.
Soon after their release on Exploited, Homework pricked up the ears of Made To Play head honcho Jesse Rose who signed them for three track single on his label. 'Trumpet Express EP' touched some of the same bases as the 'Fissa Tune EP', but also went beyond what they had laid out with their previous productions, exploring the deeper and soulful sides of house music and proving once again that Homework will never cling too long to one style or genre. The EP got immense support from the international scene with high rollers like Brodinski, Crookers, Round Table Knights and others charting various tracks from the EP.
Now with an ever-expanding oeuvre of productions (the critically acclaimed 'Hudson Square EP' came out in 2011 on Exploited), touching on different sentiments and styles, and a snowballing effect on their side, the two are reaching for ever greater highs and traveling from Berlin's Panoramabar to Paris' Social Club and everything in between.

Things are looking bright as a summer morning for the two youngsters and it seems their star can only rise to even greater heights. One thing is certain: wherever dance music goes, Homework will have found their way there, one step ahead of the hype, waiting for you to follow.
