Heaps Decent began when American DJ and producer Diplo—CEO and godfather of the Mad Decent label—spent time in Australia after touring to work with indigenous communities in hip-hop production and DJ workshops. Linking up with two Sydney-based DJ’s—Andrew Levins and Nina Agzarian—the project quickly spiraled from there, roping in artists like Devlin & Darko, Pase Rock, and even M.I.A. for various workshops and programs in rural communities, correctional facilities, and universities around the country. The results have been widely available on iTunes, where proceeds are donated back into the program to continue outreach.

Today here on RCRD LBL we’re super excited to premiere an exclusive Dre Skull remix of the Heaps Decent track “Koori Girls,” produced by Devlin and Pase Rock and featuring Heaps Decent vocalists The King Sisters. Dre’s take on the original, which you can pick up on iTunes right here, is a uptempo Bmore version, the ubiquitous “Sing Sing” break over some undulating bass and synth pads and cheeky vocal bits. You can probably catch Diplo dropping the tune on the Mad Decent tour, which kicks off this Thursday in New York and also features our good buds Abe Vigoda, Boy 8-Bit, and Telepathe (what a line-up). Dates after the jump and all sounds below.

Sounds like: Diplo, Aaron LaCrate, Tittsworth
