Adam Bozzetto

Heaps Decent facilitator main man Adam started his music obsession at a young age, playing Piano at 4 years old and trying his hand at every other instrument possible until he turned 18 and discovered electronic music. He has remixed for some of the biggest dance labels in the world such as Dim Mak and Southern Fried, and performed throughout Europe, Asia and USA.

Anna Lunoe

Anna started with Heaps Decent back in 2007, her experience as one of Australia’s top DJs offers a wealth of knowledge, insight and inspiration to workshop attendees. Anna has mixed several Ministry Of Sound compilations and boasts skill in music production and being able to sing the words to every single song she plays. This has its merits at Heaps Decent, as Anna is able to convince even the most shame filled workshop kid to belt out a rap with confidence, while giving it a go alongside herself!

JEREMIAH PIPEMIX

Pipemix began his career in music after he discovered that he could make any track sound even better by chopping it up and layering in audio samples from Nintendo games – In fact, this is how he got his name (warp pipes from Super Mario anyone?). In addition to DJing, Pipes still has this secret production life where he makes ridiculous songs using ridiculous samples and it is this panache that he brings to the Heaps Decent team.

Despite growing up, she has still managed to sing like a kid for both Nick and Sam Littlemore on several Pnau tracks including “Baby” and most recently Tonight Only’s “We Run The Night”. She has since sung (like an adult!) for the likes of Infusion, IOTA, Laura Imbruglia, Volvo, Mitsubishi and numerous releases for Ministry Of Sound Australia. Kristy also teaches music so she’s incredibly talented with young people!

Levins

Hot dog master craftsman, owner of The Dip and co-founder of Heaps Decent, Levins is a chef/DJ who loves a gag. Having an incredible music knowledge spanning countless musical realms, having been a DJ since the age of 15, and an unhealthy passion for rap combined with an undeniable charisma make Levins an instant favourite with young people. He is able to coax a ridiculous rap out of even the most introverted workshop attendee!
