BOOTIE LA
LA’s monthly mashup bootleg party is back at The Echo!

From San Francisco, live on stage, a special ALL-VIDEO MASHUP SET:
Party Ben

plus resident mashup DJs:
DJ Paul V. – From Indie 103.1′s “The Smash Mix”
Adrian & the Mysterious D – From San Francisco, Bootie creators

Bootie SF’s resident DJ PARTY BEN has been hard at work, retiring his “Party Ben Kenobi” persona and cooking up a brand new feature DJ set, “inspired” by last year’s Daft Punk tour!

While he won’t have a $2 million light-up pyramid, he will be incorporating tons of giant video and projections into his set for the first time, featuring clips put together by VJ Brewski and VJ Jaren, as well as his own mashup video creations. He did this show in San Francisco in January, and it was one of the best productions ever at Bootie.

Launched in San Francisco in 2003, Bootie was the first club night in the United States dedicated solely to the burgeoning artform of the bootleg mashup. 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!

This month, Party Ben returns to the Bootie LA stage with a special ALL-VIDEO mashup set! Resident DJs Paul V., Adrian, and the Mysterious D keep your brain guessing and body dancing with creative song combinations, celebrating – and satirizing – the many different forms of music. Bootie… because one song at a time just isn’t enough.
