Hailing from
New York City, DJ Lobsterdust is not only one of
Pitchfork's favorite mashup producers -- he's also one of
ours! As a frequent guest DJ at Bootie NYC, Lobsterdust spins
eclectic sets that run the gamut from indie, rock, electro,
pop, hip-hop, and several points in-between -- which is why
he's spinning sets both on the main floor and in the upstairs
Electro-Bootie, our monthly "club-within-a-club" showcasing
electro bootlegs, remixes, and covers, where he'll be joined
by DJ Mad Murdock on the decks. For the Midnight Mashup Show,
dance crew Funk4Soul will hit the stage with their hip-hop
moves.
Launched in 2003 in San Francisco by DJs Adrian & The
Mysterious D, 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 eight cities on three
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 DJs and house band Smash-Up Derby, as well as guest
mashup DJs from around the world, keep your brain guessing and
body dancing with creative song combinations, celebrating --
and satirizing -- the many different forms of music. Bootie
also presents the infamous Midnight Mashup Show, featuring
local drag and burlesque performers. Bootie showcases the best
mashup productions from around the globe ... because one song
at a time just isn't enough!
