BootieNYC Tonight Friday May 18th at The Element

It's that time again.  The Bootie Virus has spread to the east coast.  Make sure you get all the 411 on the most happening party in NYC tonight.  Two NY producers will be there including DJ Reset and a better known MTown fav producer DJ Lobsterdust.  The lovely and smokin' hot Trixxie Carr will be singing some live Mashups with Adrian, free bootie CD's, other prizes, reduces drink prices (nice as I dropped two bills there last time) - the list of exciting things goes on and on.  So if you have to find a place to enjoy your favorite libations tonight in NYC better head on over to The Element (site HERE) and tell A+D we sent ya.  No one from the crew on the MTown will be able to make it this round but we hope to get back to our favorite show in NYC soon.  You all have a great time and weekend.  Peace.

Here is some DJ Lobsta to wet your whistle.  Produced in Dec. 06 he puts the 'Notorious B.I.G' up against one of my personal fav bands 'The The' resulting in the catchy and melodic "Skyline Operator" - Word Perfect.

McSleazy's new website

The godfather of bootlegs, the man behind the mighty GYBO, McSleazy launched his brand new website. He posted a lotta great stuffs there!! You can spend an entire day to DL everything! Grant posted his latest remixes (LCD Soundsystem, Chikinki, Loose Cannons), some original and cover tracks, older remixes....
... and about 50 old bootlegs!!! Most of them is the part of the mashup history now. I picked this 3 year old gem to make you moving, the Crystal Jerk (New Order VS The Ceasers). It featured in the MTV Mash series, so many of you can be familiar with it. This track proves that the mashups are timeless, it sounds great today as well. Go and grab the rest on McSleazy's site! You cant be that fool to miss this!!
