Launched in 2003, Bootie was the first club night in the
United States dedicated solely to the burgeoning artform of
the bootleg mashup -- and is now the biggest mashup event in
the world, with monthly parties in six cities on two
continents. Mixing and matching every conceivable 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!
Bootie's resident DJs keep your brain guessing and body
dancing with creative song combinations, celebrating -- and
satirizing -- the many different forms of music. Bootie
showcases the best in mashup productions from around the globe
and delivers them on the dance floor ... because one song at a
time just isn't enough!
