It’s the Bootie Holiday Mashup Party! From 10-11 PM, Adrian will be spinning a “very special” all-Christmas mashup set that is guaranteed to have you dancing! Renegade dance troupe R.A.I.D. will perform a special holiday-themed number for the Midnight Mashup Show, and anyone wearing a Santa hat will receive “A Very Bootie Christmas” CD! Plus, club photographers Drunkrockers.com will be hosting a toy drive, and it’s the official Santacon LA after-party! Expect lots of drunk Santas in the house!

From Chicago, indie mashup duo ABX and STV SLV — better known as The Hood Internet — take the stage for a special showcase set. This infamous pair have quickly made a name for themselves in the music blogosphere as the go-to indie-hop mashup guys. Marauding the pop, rap and R&B landscapes to mash up Dirty South rap to Canadian indie rock to “French Touch” electro, these Pitchfork-approved mashup boys have played CMJ showcases to South by Southwest, and have enjoyed sets alongside Diplo, The Cool Kids, Z-Trip and The Go! Team.

Launched in 2003, 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 six cities on two 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.

Resident DJs Adrian, the Mysterious D, and Paul V. keep your brain guessing and body dancing with creative song combinations, celebrating — and satirizing — the many different forms of music. And free mashup CDs will be given away like candy!
