Mad Decent

HEAPS DECENT REMIX COMPETITION

Earlier in the year Heaps Decent worked on a project called Detours and Destinations. With partners Shopfront Contemporary Arts Centre, Juvenile Justice and The Sydney Opera House, Heaps Decent visited two schools in areas of Sydney that had a high percentage of young people in juvenile detention. Over 3 months we ran music and video workshops and produced 4 songs from those workshops featuring the young people singing and rapping. We then put on an exhibition at The Sydney Opera House that allowed an audience to interact with the songs with a dancefloor that worked as a controller for the music. It was a huge project with some great results!

We're now looking to release an EP of the songs we made, along with some video clips AND some remixes of the songs by some friends of Heaps Decent. We have one song left to remix and we thought we'd make the call out here to see what you guys can come up with!

The song we want you to remix is called "Lomandra Crew." It was made by a group of students at Lomandra High School in Campbelltown. They wrote the lyrics with us and helped us produce the beat too. The final song was arranged by Adam Bozzetto.

Here's the original track for your listening pleasure:

Below are the parts for the remix, the winner gets their remix on the Detours & Destinations release and a shiny new Apogee One, audio interface with built-in microphone which Diplo using where ever he goes. Thanks to Apogee for providing the prize!
