Bootie NZ

The biggest mashup party in the world comes to NZ! Radioactive.fm in association with Havana Club & Sandwiches presents: Bootie NZ

...Launched in 2003 in San Francisco by A Plus D, a.k.a. DJs Adrian & Mysterious D, Bootie was the first club night in the U.S. dedicated solely to bootleg mashups -- and is now the biggest mashup event in the world, with regular parties in several 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!

Having recently played the home of Bootie, San Fransisco, Felix Five brings the atmosphere of the original party to Wellington alongside regular partner in audio vandalism DJ Forge. Joining them in the booth will be Shady Disco & global 'Mixed In Key 2011' winner Tone-E.

Not content with just DJs, Bootie NZ will also feature VJs and a live set from Dan Untittled which will begin at midnight.

To raise the atmosphere even more entry will be free before midnight if you are dressed as a pirate! If getting into costume isn't your thing then it's $10 before midnight & $15 after.

To ensure entry we recommend getting a pre-sale ticket!

The music

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!

Is this legal?

Does the skull-and-crossbones in our logo mean anything to you?

So where can I get these mashups?

Since 99.999% of all mashups aren't legally cleared by the artists, you can't just go to a store and buy them. However, MP3s of these bootleg mixes are available all over the internet.
