Bootie LA is proud to present a special audiovisual VJ mashup set from UK video mashup pioneers ECLECTIC METHOD. Dubbed “the future of nightclub entertainment,” they’ve created video remixes for The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, Dizzee Rascal, The White Stripes, M.I.A., and U2, amongst others.

Eclectic Method don’t just mix videos like DJs mix records — it goes a step beyond. Take a healthy dollop of post-modern irony, a Britney sample here, an indie-rock riff there, an electronic dance anthem or two, and a peppering of pop classics, and you’re on your way to understanding the Eclectic Method style. Top that off with some rare hip-hop and film action mania and you’ve got an all-encompassing audiovisual show shuffling together mainstream and underground to create a live visual improvised remix experience.

2005′s “We’re Not VJs” was the world’s first DVJ video-mixtape and was phenomenally received. Their second mix album, “Lock Up Your Videos,” was released earlier this year, and with their ongoing remix projects and video podcasts, they continue to push the boundaries of mashup culture.

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, it’s a place where all sounds, cultures, and sexualities can unite on the dance floor. Bootie provides the soundtrack for the A.D.D. generation — with free mashup CDs given away like candy! Bootie: because one song at a time just isn’t enough.
