MUSIC OF ANOTHER COLOR...
Mash-up djs are becoming all the rage to me in my amyluinluv book. First it was Bootie SF with the lovely dj duo, Adrian and the Mysterious D (the creators and masterminds behind Bootie), at a 2006 New Years party in San Fran. My boyfriend and I walked into a small room off the main ballroom to find oddly familiar but not sure kinda mix-up of music going on. We noticed the walls were covered in photocopies of half faces fused together like Eminem with Morrissey and Sid Vicious with Madonna. They now produce Bootie parties in San Fran, LA, and they will be producing a special Burning Man party in Black Rock City on Friday Sept. 1st. I fell in love with their creations and am now determined to make sure NYC gets a taste of the Bootie Mash-up duo and then a hunger for more!

Since then, A Plus D introduced me to another Mash-up dj from France, DJ Zebra. Zebra is also a musician and producer. He hosts the "Zebramix", a daily radio show on Oüi Fm. On Friday, Sept 8th he'll be spinning at Bootie SF at DNA Lounge. His most famous tracks : Soul desir" (Aretha Franklin vs. Noir desir), "Killing boombastic" (Shaggy / R.A.T.M.), "Are you gonna be my motherfucker?" (Prince / Jet) ou "Take me out saturday night" (Franz Ferdinand / Neimo). DJ Zebra released the "Dance to the underground" mix (on Labels / EMI, 2004) and did official remixs for -M-, Arno, Tetes Raides, Hoggboy, Neimo, La Phaze, Extra extra et Elevate Newton's Theory.
