Bootie

Known mostly as galvinizers of the international mashup scene, the duo Adrian & the Mysterious D aka A Plus D have forged a hard-earned reputation as crowd-pleasing selectors who not only shamelessly bridge the gap between genres, but between the alternative and the mainstream. Bootie specializes in mashups, which are also known in some places as bootlegs. So what's a mashup? What's a bootleg? It's pretty much all the same. Also known as bastard pop, a bootleg is a song that's mashed-up. Usually, this means the vocal track of one song is mixed over the instrumentation of another. Using audio editing software, DJs and mashup artists combine different artists and musical genres to create new and unique songs that are often greater than the sum of their parts. Imagine Michael Jackson rocking out with Nirvana, David Bowie crooning with MGMT, Madonna fronting Daft Punk, or Kanye West rapping with Beethoven, and many other unexpected combinations! Can't imagine that? Then get your ass to Bootie to hear for yourself! This is best evidenced by the success of their club Bootie, the first and biggest mashup bootleg party in the United States. Launched in San Francisco in 2003, Bootie has attracted mashup DJs from around the globe, and the couple have since launched sister clubs in Los Angeles, New York City, Paris, Munich, Boston, Berlin, Vienna, and Brisbane, Australia, and have done one-offs from Brazil to Beijing, further solidifying their renown as pioneers of the ever-growing. Launched in 2003 in San Francisco by DJs Adrian & the Mysterious D, Bootie was the first club night in the U.S. dedicated solely to the burgeoning artform of the bootleg mashup -- and is now the biggest mashup event in the world, with monthly parties in ten cities on four continents, and various one-offs around the globe. Mixing and matching every musical genre, era, and style into one big dance party where everyone feels welcome, Bootie provides the soundtrack for the A.D.D. generation -- with free mashup CDs given away like candy!
