Best of Bootie 2007: Massive mashups third year in a row!

Bootie, which is billed as the biggest bootleg mashup party in the world, has come out with their third yearly mashup compilation. These are the mashup tracks from the past year that stormed things out on the dance floor. It’s bastardized tracks featuring two or more artists – as is the definition of mashup – and there are of course always some strange synergies to be realized.

Their 21 track beat-mixed collection is featured for download on the Best of Bootie 2007 CD page. There are multiple options for downloading the collection: as a .zip file, each track individually, or as a BitTorrent download. If you look over in the left-hand column there are also 10 additional tracks that didn’t make it into the beat-mixed collection. These are also fine examples of the craft of mashups. It seems to me that this year’s compilation delves a bit deeper into the back catalog, and doesn’t have as many recent tracks in there.

And if you haven’t been keeping up with the Best of Bootie collections, also check out the freely downloadable Best of Bootie 2006 and Best of Bootie 2005.

DJs Adrian and the Mysterious D are the two DJs who compile the collections from the Bootie club nights in San Francisco and elsewhere. They also go by the moniker A plus D. If you go to their website AplusD.net, there are many more recent mashups available for download.
