Turntablism is sooooo 20th century! Tonight, it's all about
"controllerism," the new digital DJ style that uses technology
as a musical instrument, using hacked controllers and software
to manipulate music live and on the fly. New York City's
Moldover has been at the vanguard of this emerging
cutting-edge DJ technology, and will be doing a showcase set
on stage -- complete with live video -- so the audience can
watch how the music is being controlled and manipulated. In
the upstairs room, Electro-Bootie returns with electro
bootlegs and remixes courtesy of DJs Party Ben and Mykill from
Call In Sick! And Suppositori Spelling performs the midnight
mashup show. 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 -- with free mashup CDs given away like
candy! Resident DJs Adrian, the Mysterious D, and Dada keep your
brain guessing and body dancing with creative song
combinations, celebrating -- and satirizing -- the many
different forms of music. Guest mashup DJs from around the
world are featured, and the infamous midnight mashup show
showcases popular local drag and burlesque performers. |
