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.

Info on the TECH-TASTIC feature:
From New York City: Live "controllerism" set by MOLDOVER
This Saturday, Bootie is proud to present a mashup set by New York City's MOLDOVER, a digital DJ at the vanguard of an emerging cutting-edge DJ technology called "controllerism." Controllerism uses technology as a musical instrument, using hacked controllers and software to manipulate music LIVE!
Moldover has been written up in several national music and technology magazines for his groundbreaking, multi-layered DJ technique. He is considered one of the first pioneers in this tech-tastic style of DJing. Everything you'll be dancing to during his set will be produced and manipulated LIVE. And just to prove it, we'll have live video going on the big screens, so the audience can watch how the music is being controlled and manipulated. That way you can SEE what's going on with the music, and how he's "controller-ing" it. :-) That is, when you're not dancing your ass off!
