It Takes A Muscle is by far my favourite track on M.I.A.’s new album ///Y/. I didn’t realise it was a cover straight away though, and after hearing the original I feel silly for not blasting it for the last ten years, it’s a really great song.
PS. I know the reasons behind them not working together more are personal, but surely for the sake of great music it makes sense for Diplo to produce more of M.I.A.’s albums. My most played song on Arular was the Diplo produced Bucky Done Gun, likewise he produced Paper Planes, my favourite tune on Kala. He produced It Takes A Muscle too. Why didn’t he just do the whole album?

NEW MIX: YO LEVINS x FAVELA ROCK
June 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I made this for a party I played in Melbourne last weekend called Favela Rock. My friends Evet and Will of Opulent have been running this party for about as long as I’ve been DJing. Me and Spruce Lee made a mix for one of their first parties (If anyone wants to hear that I’ll upload it!) so it was cool to make another mix for them last week.
This is a pretty all over the place mix, Evet’s girlfriend Lucy said it was “really weird…in a good way…I think” which is about as good of an endorsement that I could ever hope for. Please enjoy.

HEAPS DECENT REMIX COMPETITION

HEAPS DECENT REMIX COMPETITION w/ MAD DECENT
from the Mad Decent blog…
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.
The original track can be heard HERE.
Below are the parts for the remix, the winner gets their remix on the Detours & Destinations release and a shiny new Apogee One, the soundcard we use to record at all Heaps Decent workshops! Thanks to Apogee for providing the prize!
HEAPS DECENT REMIX CONTEST
Assets for the remix can be found HERE
Finished mixes can be uploaded HERE
All entries should be received no later than July 9th and the winning remix will be chosen and announced by July 16th.
GET BUSY.
