Better late than never. Well Mashuptown finally made it to a live, in person Bootie event last week in NYC. Many firsts occured that night for this editor. Firsts:
First time I had so much damn fun at a club
First time I had someone sitting next to me in a car listening to Mashups and they didn't tell me to turn them off (props DJ Max Entropy)
First time I've been to the Big Apple
First time I've met anyone (in the analog world) from the Mashup community
First time I've heard a Mashup played in front of a live audience
Several great sets played by Lenlow, Party Ben, and A+D and plenty of peeps on the dance floor boogieing it up. If you haven't been to a Bootie Party yet you really need to get to one. Really cool to meet the Diva of Mashups - the lovely and talented KT Enlow. Great to chat with her big bro Lenlow whose work we really dig here at MTown. Atom who provided some technical expertise for the equipment. Party Ben who spun PB material all night - didn't get to meet this big fella as between sets he had womens draped all over him. Also missed the DJ Lobsterdust who I heard showed up late. And of course much respect to A+D for organizing and delivering a fantastic Mashup experience (my only disappointment was Adrian not wearing hit buttcheekless chaps) Big mention to my man DJ Max Entropy (favorite libation - LIT) who provided the transportation for the crew from NJ to Manhattan and then back NJ at 5:00 am. Here is some of DJ Max's newest material that mashes up some Linkin Park, Peter Gabriel X 2, and Genesis. Have a great weekend. Peace.
My pleasure. Was awesome meeting you and the rest of the mashup crew!
Next time your in the area, you know what to do..
The LP/Gabriel is a tad moody. Obviously I wasn't in the best of moods when I was mixing it. The one I'm finishing up actually at this moment was definitely inspired by BootieNYC.. =)
PS- Did you ever send that email to Aggro? hah!
