The biggest bootleg
mashup party in the world marks its 7-Year
Itch Anniversary with a jam-packed evening celebrating the
past seven years of mashup culture. Direct from England,
Bootie is proud to present Go Home Productions, aka Mark
Vidler, one of the world's most legendary mashup producers.
Since 2002, he's made countless mashups, including the
landmark "Rapture Riders," The Doors vs. Blondie classic which
went legit with a legally-sanctioned release. He's also
officially mashed-up and remixed tracks for David Bowie,
Alicia Keys, and Bob Dylan, among others, and was the producer
of EMI UK's "Mashed" album in 2007, still the only legal
mashup compilation released by a major label.
At 11 PM, Bootie's house band Smash-Up Derby plays live their
favorite mashups from each of the past seven years, while
resident DJs Adrian & Mysterious D spin a mashup history
lesson that you can dance to! Bootie's original performer,
Princess Kennedy, recreates our very first Midnight Mashup
Show from seven years ago, while in the upstairs room, it's
Electro-Bootie, with DJ MC2 and Boyshapedbox spinning electro
bootlegs, remixes, and covers, complete with their own lasers
and lighting. Providing the eye candy on the go-go boxes will
be John!John!'s Mutants. We'll be giving out birthday cupcakes
and milkshakes, and a couple samples of the brand-new Bootie
T-shirts. And finally, we've got free Bootie 7-Year
Anniversary CDs for the first 500 people!
Launched in 2003 in San Francisco by DJs Adrian & 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 regular parties in several cities on four
continents. Keeping your brain guessing and body dancing with
creative song combinations, Bootie mixes and matches every
conceivable musical genre, era, and style into one big dance
party where everyone feels welcome, providing the soundtrack
for the A.D.D. generation ... and free mashup CDs, given away
like candy!
