Through the Mad Decent empire, Heaps Decent has operated as its philanthropic arm, serving the beat-breathing youth residing in Australia. Committed to finding and nurturing the creativity of underprivileged and Indigenous young people and emerging artists, Heaps Decent provides resources and opportunities to support the development of high quality Australian music with a unique identity. 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 they ran music and video workshops and produced 4 songs from those workshops. They 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!
Heaps Decent is now looking to release an EP of the songs they made, along with some video clips AND a few remixes of the songs by some friends. They have one song left to remix, called "Lomandra Crew" which will be the song used for the remix contest. 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. The winner gets their remix on the Detours & Destinations release along with a shiny new Apogee ONE which Diplo uses wherever he goes. Be sure to submit by the contest deadline of July 9th. Find all the assets you need to remix the song as well as the competition details at: http://maddecent.com/blog/heaps-decent-remix-contest. For more information on Heaps Decent, visit: Heaps Decent
