This one is a grab bag of familiar names, mixed in with some new blood to bring us into the new year. A couple forgotten favorites are in the mix, along with a few we missed from the past couple months. Get to the downloadin’ and enjoy!

Nope, it didn’t happen. We didn’t manage to get this web site re-designed in time for the release of this year’s long-awaited “Best of Bootie 2012.” Oh well, that’s what New Years Resolutions are for, right?

So here it is, just in time for Christmas! 20 of Bootie’s biggest hits from the past year, all mashed together into one continuous party mix. It’s available in several different download formats, just in case you want to grab unmixed individual tracks as well. On top of that, we’ve also included 10 additional bonus tracks, because like every year, we can never pick just 20.

CLICK THE COVER OR HERE TO GO TO THE DOWNLOAD PAGE!

This year’s CD contains two tracks we’ve never featured before, including an exclusive, never-before-released mashup from ourselves – A Plus D – in addition to several “Bootie Edits” of tracks that have been on previous Bootie Top 10s. Plus, there’s a special intro from Lobsterdust, and maybe a little secret message at the end too…

This is pretty much the soundtrack of Bootie – in fact, Adrian just wants to put this on at the club and go out into the crowd and dance and sing along for 77 non-stop minutes, just like everyone else!  Hopefully, you will too. Enjoy and please spread the mashup love!

It’s taken us three years to amass enough of a quality collection of holiday mashups to release “A Very Bootie Christmas 3,” the third album in our holiday-themed series. Perfect for Christmas parties!

And if you missed the first two albums in the collection, you can grab them all from the same convenient page.

Much thanks go out to Bootie Atlanta’s dj BC, who compiles the annual Santastic collections – including this year’s Santastic 7: It’s A Wonderful Mash – from which many of these tracks are culled from. In fact, we sometimes jokingly refer to these albums as the “Best of Santastic!” Happy holidays, and enjoy!

We’ve been so busy working on renovating this web site that we’ve barely had time to put together a Bootie Top 10 for you. So then it became a Top 15. And now that it’s been two months, it’s a Top 20. Again.

So this is hopefully the last Bootie Top 10 (or Top 20) list we post on this tired old web site, as we prepare to launch the vastly updated, improved, and modernized BootieMashup.com 2.0. With any luck, it will coincide with the release of the hotly-anticipated “Best of Bootie 2012″ CD, which you can look forward to dropping in mid-December. But not before we release “A Very Bootie Christmas 3″ next week!

There’s a ton of good stuff here, some of it older material that never made it to a Top 10 list, and a lot of it culled from two recent mashup albums, SoundUnsound’s 80′s Mashed 2: The 80′s Mashup Album and The Mashup Radio’s Mash of the Titans, as well as Titus Jones’ AfterShock and DJ Schmolli’s 80s Now.

Props to Jason Burke from InkAndLeadDesigns.com for the awesome cover art.

 

Yes, we have heard your cries and … well, okay, we feel bad. Sure, we can make all sorts of excuses for why it’s taken us two whole months to post a new Bootie Top 10, or 20, as the case may be — we were busy preparing for the Bootie 9-Year Anniversary, then we went to Burning Man, then we came back and life sort of slammed us in the face, blah blah blah — but still, we recognize it’s been WAY too long.

The new Bootie Mashup web site is still being developed, but when it launches, rest assured, there will be a steady stream of quality mashups each week. And with last month’s demise of GYBO — one of the internet’s best sources for bootlegs — we recognize that now, more than ever, there needs to be a site that curates the best of the mashup world. The bootleg scene is healthier – yet more fragmented – than ever before. But that’s why Bootie’s here, to bring it all together.

This month, we mix and match several variations of a few songs, such as “Good Time,” “Gangnam Style,” “Rumour Has It,” and “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).” Think of them the same way we do when parts of certain songs repeat in and out of DJ sets at Bootie — they are muscial motifs!

Wow, you would be amazed at how much faster it is for us to post a Bootie Top 10 when we don’t have to worry about writing little blurbs for each track. We’ll start doing that again when the new BootieMashup.com web site launches, but it will be as individual blog entries … which means you’ll be seeing us a lot more than just once a month!

But until then, it’s just your usual Top 10, with its eclectic mix of guilty pleasures, electro bangers, and clever A+B’s. This month’s list is a nice mix of familiar bootlegger names, along with some fresh new talent (so new that they might not even know that when we say “bootlegger,” we really mean “mashup producer.”)

We are currently deep in the midst of a complete overhaul of the BootieMashup.com web site. This isn’t just a redesign – this is a complete top-to-bottom re-do, the way it always should have been had we known nine years ago that our little mashup party would blossom into the global mashup empire it is today. So far, it’s looking gorgeous, and light years ahead of this current web site. Be prepared to be wowed (in a few months!)

In the meantime though, we’ll still find time to post a monthly Top 10 of our favorite mashups. We’ve got summertime hits mixed in with some ’80s classics, a couple forgotten favorites, and a Skrillex double-shot for good measure (yeah, yeah, we know…) This month’s selections also contain links to some great bootleg albums, in case this list isn’t enough for you.

Yeah, this is about when we figured we’d get around to having a new Bootie Top 10 (as we warned you guys with the extra tracks last month). And to streamline the process – and to get it posted before the end of the month – we’ve forgone the usual blurbs for each individual track. If your choice is getting this now, or getting this sometime next week because we had to spend time going “blah blah blah” about each mashup, wouldn’t you rather just have it NOW?

But don’t worry, the blurbs will be back – just in a different format. We are currently in the process of a COMPLETE OVERHAUL of the BootieMashup.com web site – which will ultimately mean that you’ll be getting a steady stream of mashup content every couple days, on an exact schedule you can count on, instead of every couple months when we are able to get to it. Yes, now that our China and Europe tours are over, we are back in the States and ready to … Ramp. Shit. Up. Bigger, badder, better. Stay tuned…

There’s a pretty wide selection of stuff here, from “current pop throwing up on current pop,” to mashups reminding us of songs we thought we forgot about (I’m talking to you, Chambawamba). There’s also a fair amount of ’80s sprinkled in, and – despite our general disdain of the genre, yes, there are two dubstep mashups here too. As usual, mashups are listed alphabetically by bootlegger.

EVEN MORE MASHUPS!
And if you want MORE (and don’t you always want more), scroll further down to check out our previous blog post, where we’ve posted 20 more mashups in tribute to the Beastie Boys, Donna Summer, and the Bee Gees.

DJ Schmolli – Crush It (Nero vs. Michael Jackson) – Vienna, Austria

They say that celebrity deaths always happen in threes, and this past month, we lost three amazing musicians all within weeks of each other.

We were already planning a Beastie Boys mashup tribute in honor of Adam Yauch (aka MCA) when we heard the news about Donna Summer, and then, just a few days later, Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees.

Of course, as DJs, we had to play each of these artists at the past few Bootie parties, but what better way to pay mashup tribute than to post them here for everyone to enjoy. R.I.P. Adam, Donna, and Robin…

You get this whenever we get around to it, which this time just happens to be … right before we leave for a… three-week European Bootie tour! (Click here for info)

We will soon be doing a massive website re-design and overhaul this summer, which ultimately will mean … more mashups, more often AND with more consistency (like having a Top 10 come out on the 1st of every month)! But until then, we’ll just try and make our tardiness up to you with extra free mashups, like this month’s Top 20, which is what we’ve got right here…

A Plus D – Levels That I Used To Know (Gotye vs. Avicii) – San Francisco
If it’s good enough for Avicii to play in his own DJ sets, then it’s good enough for us … well, actually, that version wasn’t, which is why we made our own!

Dan Mei – Uprising Bodies (Taio Cruz vs. Drowning Pool vs. Muse vs. Moby vs. Stromae vs. Infernal vs. Sak Noel) – Denmark
One of our favorite previously unreleased tracks off the new “Mashup Culture Vol. 1” compilation album from The Mashup Radio.

DJs FROM MARS DOUBLE SHOT!
DJs From Mars – Twist & Shout (Beatles Remix) – Torino, Italy
DJs From Mars – We Found Every Teardrop (Rihanna vs. Coldplay) – Torino, Italy
The first one has been Adrian’s DJ secret weapon for the past year, while the second is guaranteed dance floor epicness.

Elocnep – Smooth Gasolina (Pitbull vs. Michael Jackson vs. Lazertag) – France
Elocnep turned us on to this electro banger when he guest DJed at Bootie SF in February.

DJ Em-Tee – Dominos Feel So Close (Jessie J vs. Calvin Harris) – Sydney
Barely anyone knows who Jessie J is here in the States, but we’ll be ready for Bootie London with this track.

The Jane Doze – Young Hearts Wanna Beat On Their Own (Katy Perry vs. The Naked & Famous vs. Robyn vs. Whitney Houston vs. Ke$ha vs. will.i.am) – New York City
This NYC female mashup duo seem to be venturing into Titus Jones’ territory with this pop-tastic multi-mash.

Kap Slap – Breakin’ The Doors (Skrillex ft. The Doors vs. Zedd vs. Florence + The Machine vs. Afrojack & Aoki ft. Miss Palmer vs. Calvin Harris vs. Pitbull vs. Ne-Yo vs. Katy Perry) – Pennsylvania
We just found out that Kap Slap is a senior in high school. He can’t even get into a nightclub to drop this track!

KING OF PANTS DOUBLE SHOT!
King of Pants – Pumped Up Moonlight (Foster The People vs. King Harvest) – Seattle
King of Pants – Sweet Judas (Lady Gaga vs. Eurythmics) – Seattle
After a long lull after the end of his Seattle mashup night Frankenboot, King of Pants is back! Of course, being a resident DJ at Bootie Seattle probably helps!

DJ Magic Baron – The One That Got A Hangover (Taio Cruz vs. Katy Perry) – The Netherlands
Discovered this one while searching for tracks for Katy Perry Mashup Night at Bootie SF. Love the dueling “oh-oh-oh’s,” plus “Hangover” could pretty much be our theme song.

Mashup-Germany – Starships Dance Floor Porn (Nicki Minaj vs. Britney Spears vs. Safri Duo vs. Chris Brown vs. Example vs. Hurts vs. Lil Jon vs. Daft Punk) – Frankfurt, Germany
Pop throwing up on pop, with a healthy dollop of Eurodance. Another winner from Germany’s “most clicked mashup artist.”

Party Ben – Set Fire to True Faith (Adele vs. New Order) – San Francisco
Party Ben rarely makes mashups anymore, but when he does, it’s nice to know he can still produce tracks like this one.

Phil RetroSpector – Killing Kids (Echo & the Bunnymen vs. MGMT) – Ireland
Just when we thought we were sick of “Kids” mashups, along comes this, bringing two generations of college radio hits together.

Ryan Nellis – 4A (Skrillex vs. LMFAO vs. Outkast vs. Tag Team vs. Britney Spears vs. Katy Perry vs. Daft Punk vs. Van Halen vs. Fergie) – Buffalo, USA
DJ Italian Robot brought this track to our attention. We don’t generally care for dubstep, but we’ll make an exception for this.

ShyBoy – Born In The Deep (Rolling Slippy) (Adele vs. Underworld) – Los Angeles
ShyBoy sings this one himself, bringing a whole new feel to Adele’s extremely-played out “Rolling In The Deep.”

TBC aka Instamatic – Her Breath Is The Wind (Rhiannon’s Breath) (Sia vs. Fleetwood Mac) – London
This one has “late-night closing song” written all over it. Gorgeously epic.

DJ Tripp – We Are On Fire (Adele vs. Fun.) – Santa Cruz, California
Two #1 U.S. hits, rolled into one. We’ve been obsessed with Fun. (we even saw them at South By Southwest) and apparently we aren’t the only ones, since it’s been #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks now. This is probably our current favorite.

ViC – Hello Planes (Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette vs. M.I.A.) – Belgium
90 to 128 bpm in four minutes!

Wick-it the Instigator – Still California (Moombahton Remix) (Dr. Dre vs. Wick-it) – Nashville
We’re not much for bandwagon jumping, but we can get behind this moombahton trend, especially when it makes Dr. Dre sound like this!

Over the past few years, there’s rarely been a Bootie party where there hasn’t been at least one Whitney Houston mashup dropped. We were as sad as anyone to hear of her untimely passing this past Saturday.

So in tribute to the late, great singer, we respectfully present nine of our favorite Whitney Houston mashups … plus one bonus bootleg cover, which has become the stuff of Bootie legend, and should be familiar to anyone who has stayed at a Bootie party while Adrian is DJing until the bitter end.

As it is every year, it takes a while for us to fire up the ol’ Bootie Top 10 again, since we’re always concerned with getting the annual end-of-the-year Best of Bootie album out to as many people and places as possible.

Then again, it hasn’t helped that there’s been a dearth of decent material in the mashup scene lately. “Current hits vs. current hits” mashups may be all the rage these days, but unfortunately many are what we call “what’s the point” mashups. Where’s the clever genre-clash, era-spanning musical connections, or interesting lyrical counterpoints? Oh right, NOWHERE.

That said, the past few weeks have reinvigorated us, with some of our favorite bootleg producers cranking out some top-notch stuff, and reminding us the scene is still there, and still vibrant. We’ve also included some older “secret weapon” and “forgotten favorites” on this month’s list as well. And since it’s nearly mid-February, we went ahead and made it a Top 15, because … well, because Bootie loves you.

Bogoss – Sexy Boys And Girls Know It (LMFAO vs. Blur) – France
After hearing a slew of uninspired Top 40 mashups using LMFAO’s “Sexy & I Know It” acapella, we were relieved to hear it finally mashed up with a song older than six months … and with a lyrical connection to boot!

Brat – Rhiannon’s Teardrop (Fleetwood Mac vs. Massive Attack) – Los Angeles
Massive Attack is the perfect backdrop for Stevie Nicks’ hauntingly witchy “Rhiannon,” putting the song in a darker context than the Fleetwood Mac original.

DJs From Mars – Fade Into Someone Like You (Adele vs. Avicii) – Italy
We suppose it was inevitable that Adele’s heartbreaking ballad would get turned into a jubilant club banger, but DJs From Mars pull it off with grace, offering a slow burning build-up that crescendos into electro awesomeness.

The Hood Internet – Without Kimmi (Usher vs Twin Sister) – Chicago
When Usher sings with David Guetta, it just sounds like Top 40 pap. But when ABX of The Hood Internet pairs him with the indie chillwave of Twin Sister, the true lilting beauty of that vocal hook is seen in a whole new light.

LOBSTERDUST DOUBLE-SHOT
Lobsterdust – Bonfire Vision (Childish Gambino vs. Joker) – New York City
If you MUST mash up two current songs together, at least make sure they’re both by artists as cool as the rap alias of Community actor Donald Glover and UK dubstep/grime artist Joker.
Lobsterdust – Changed The Way You Relax (Frankie Goes To Hollywood vs. Example) – New York City
Just as we were getting sick of everyone in our scene mashing up this Example song (there’s a hybrid of two of them on the Best of Bootie 2011 CD) Lobsta comes out with this, which he used to open his recent sets at Bootie SF and LA.

PARTY ANTHEM DOUBLE-SHOT
MadMixMustang – New Years Eve Party Anthem (Pink vs. LMFAO vs. Queen vs. James Brown vs. Chemical Bros. vs. Europe vs. Rick James) – The Netherlands
DJ Schmolli - Super Bowl Anthem (LMFAO vs. Madonna vs. Europe vs. Queen House Of Pain vs. Reel 2 Real vs. Tag Team vs. The Vinyl Rippers vs. Labrinth ft. Tinie Tempah vs. MC Hammer vs. Queen vs. Metallica vs. White Stripes) – Vienna
These two multi-mashup party anthems were made for two separate occasions – New Years Eve and Super Bowl Sunday, respectively. But their “let’s party now!” sentiments are good for ANY time of the year!

Marc Johnce – The Sign In The U.S.A. (Ace of Base vs. Miley Cyrus) – Germany
Who doesn’t love both of these songs? Sure, you say you don’t, but we know you secretly do. If you’ve been to Bootie, then you know that this mashup is like a chick magnet to an empty dance floor at 10pm.

Mashup-Germany - Paradise (Infinity And You Know It) (Coldplay & Fedde le Grand vs. LMFAO vs. Guru Josh Project vs. Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette) – Germany
This mashup was THIS close to making it on to Best of Bootie 2011. Deciding which mashups make the cut for that is always like killing babies, but we’ll always have the Bootie Top 10.

DJ NeilBeats – Be Faithful Single Ladies (Fatman Scoop vs. Beyoncé) – New York City
A “secret weapon” track we got from Mashup-Germany that never fails to make the dance floor go crazy. Who knew some fat guy from Brooklyn yelling at the crowd mixed with some Beyoncé would work so well?

Robin Skouteris – Barbra Streisand Strikes A Pose! Vogue! (Madonna vs. Duck Sauce) – Greece
Okay, we admit it. We are SO late to the party with this one, which came out over a year ago. But hey, Madge just performed “Vogue” at the Super Bowl halftime show and Robin Skouteris is our guest DJ at Bootie SF and LA in March, so we’re gonna pretend like this is perfect timing.

DJ Schmolli – Titanium 500 (The Proclaimers vs. David Guetta feat. Sia vs. Midnight Oil) – Vienna
More than any other track on this list, Schmolli’s latest has renewed our faith in mashups. This proves that despite the current scene’s doldrums, a simple A+B(+C) that uses clever, underutilized source material can still surprise and amaze (and make a Bootie dance floor jump and sing along!)

DJ ShyBoy – Working Supermodel (RuPaul vs. Michael Jackson) – Los Angeles
In honor of the 20th anniversary of the iconic “Supermodel” (has it really been twenty years?) DJ ShyBoy has released a RuPaul mashup mixtape. Bonus points for using a Michael Jackson song that’s NOT from “Thriller” or “Bad.”

Titus Jones – Don’t 69 In The Dark Without Jagger (David Guetta & Usher vs. No Doubt vs. Dev vs. Bryan Adams vs. Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera vs. Eurythmics) – Nashville
The standout track from Culture Bully’s “2011 Mashed” album, Titus Jones creates a touching duet between Gwen Stefani and Bryan Adams. And of course, this being a Titus Jones track, there are plenty of guest appearances from a peanut gallery of current pop stars.

This year’s annual mixtape compilation of Bootie’s biggest mashup hits is out! Consider it an early Christmas present … this is the earliest we’ve ever released a “Best of Bootie” CD!

As always, narrowing down our favorites was a difficult chore, complicated by the fact that several tracks on our list used the same source material, necessitating the need for … bonus tracks! Yes, in addition to the 21 mashups on an 80-minute CD-length mixtape, there are an additional 12 mashups for your downloading pleasure.

We have some custom edits, and three tracks are brand-new, having never been posted to our web site before, including a Bootie Exclusive from DJ Shyboy, and a year-end bonus track mashup (in the style of DJ Earworm) from Mashup-Germany, that nicely sums up the year in pop music.

There are several recurring musical motifs this year, as familiar refrains from LMFAO, Martin Solveig, Britney (and more) waft in and out of various mixes, the result of so many bootleggers mashing up multiple artists, going well beyond the classic “A+B” style of mashup production.

We think it’s a nice sum-up of the past year in mashups (as well a lot of this year’s music in general). This is pretty much the soundtrack of Bootie in 2011 – from the prime-time floor-fillers, all the way down to the closing song at last call!

And special thanks to Jason Burke from InkAndLeadDesigns.com for the cover art!

After six weeks of an intense travel schedule (LA, Singapore, Hanoi, Saigon, Bangkok, Seattle, New York City), it’s nice to be back home in San Francisco for more than just a couple days. So now that we’ve had a week to settle back into the swing of things here at Bootie home base, it’s time for another belated Top 10.

In keeping with tradition, two weeks of tardiness have resulted in five extra tracks, so this is actually a Top 15. And what a mixed bag it is! We’ve got mashups both old and new on this list, dusting off some forgotten favorites, as well as showcasing some brand-new productions.

One caveat: Having been on tour, we’re a bit backlogged in going through new music, so if you’ve sent us something, we might not have gotten to it yet. We’re still sifting through the “New Mashups” folder that contains about 200 tracks in it, but hey, that’s what the December Top 10 is for, right? And if you want to send us mashup submissions, please use our NEW email address (and only send 1 or 2 tracks/links max.): mashups@bootieusa.com

Sorted alphabetically by bootlegger.

Divide & Kreate - Save The Streets (U2 vs. Swedish House Mafia) – Stockholm, Sweden
There’s just something so epic and anthemic about BOTH of these songs, perfect for last call, or — depending on where you’re DJing — sunrise!

DJs From Mars – Where Dem Levels At (Avicii vs. David Guetta vs. DJs From Mars) – Torino, Italy
We’ve publicly lamented the inherit lameness (and laziness) of what we call “what’s the point?” mashups – sure, two current pop hits mixed together might technically be a “mashup,” but who cares? Sometimes though, you just can’t help yourself, so if you ARE going to do it, rip a page from the DJs From Mars handbook and put shit-tons of your own production work on it, making it your own, and elevating it beyond just a mere mashup or remix. When that electronic throbbing dubby bass kicks in, it feels like the aliens have landed.

Electrosound – Crazy Little Feel Called Love (James Brown vs. Queen vs. Fatboy Slim vs. Beck) – France
Classic genre-clashed A+B (with a little C and D thrown in for spice too). Every wonder what would happen if James Brown fronted Queen instead of Freddie Mercury? Wonder no more!

The Evolution Control Committee – Stairway To Britney (Britney Spears vs. Led Zeppelin) – Columbus, Ohio
Since 1986, The ECC have been violating copyright law the hard way, long before computers made it easy. They’ve been making mashups since before the term even existed – hell, before even most of today’s mashup producers were even born! Earlier this year, they put out a new album, All Rights Reserved, where this classic – the closing song of their sets for years – finally got released.

Lobsterdust – Sunglasses x3 (Chris Brown vs. Corey Hart) - New York City
Lobsterdust makes his obligatory appearance on the Bootie Top 10 with this dance floor gem, which revives Corey Hart’s ’80s classic by grafting Chris Brown’s “Yeah 3x” on top. Lobsterdust shows, once again, his excellent production skills on this track.

Markito – Hello Without You (Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette vs. U2) – Vienna
Want your mashup to instantly sound more epic and anthemic? Just add some “Joshua Tree”-era U2! The venerable Irish band makes their second appearance on this list, adding some gravitas to Dragonette’s “Hello” vocal. Another good one for late-night!

Mashup-Germany – Who Knew Someone Like You… (Adele vs. Pink vs. 4 Non Blondes vs. Ben E. King vs. Snow Patrol vs. Lady Gaga vs. Whitney Houston) – Frankfurt, Germany
Despite his well-earned reputation as a killer dance-floor club DJ, Mashup-Germany’s production forté is really in multi-mashed tracks like this, where he fuses seven songs into a plaintive, beautiful slow jam. If we were producing a Broadway mashup musical, this would be the heartfelt ensemble ballad… and there wouldn’t be a dry eye in the house!

MixmstrStel – Now That We Found Mr. Saxobeat (Heavy D and The Boyz vs. Alexandra Stan) – Boston
We couldn’t do a Bootie Top 10 this month without paying tribute to rapper Heavy D (R.I.P.). Mashed-up a month before he died, this is a fitting tribute from Boston’s MixmstrStel.

DJ not-I – Keep On Rockn (My Rebellion) (Steve Miller vs. Arcade Fire) - UK
A forgotten favorite from the vaults. Indie darlings Arcade Fire somehow elevate Steve Miller’s best-known song into something … more than the same song you’ve been hearing on classic rock radio since the ’70s.

RLP – Respect 2010 (RLP feat. Aretha Franklin & Lil’ Jon) – France
Here’s an interesting case study in how to get your mashup officially released: Come up with a great idea and get it out there (like this one!). Since you can’t get or afford the original licensing, when it starts to gain attention, find someone to record a very faithful cover version of the song you’re bootlegging. Release a nearly identical version of your original mashup to great acclaim. See how easy that was? However, since Bootie specializes in bootleg mashups, you’re getting the one using the original artists here.

Salvador G (Automatic Reaction) – Ignition – The Blue Remix (R. Kelly vs. New Order) – New York City
The world isn’t exactly crying out for yet another “Blue Monday” mashup, but dammit, we just couldn’t resist! R. Kelly’s vocals somehow cheeses this one up just enough for our tastes.

DJ Schmolli – Cruelly Good Summer Feeling (Flo Rida vs. Avicii vs. Ace Of Base vs. Sak Noel vs. Jason Derulo vs. Stanton Warriors vs. Aura Dione vs. t.A.T.u. vs. Adele vs. Travie McCoy vs. Groove Armada vs. Britney Spears) – Vienna
As one of our favorite mashup producers, Austria’s Schmolli is consistently excellent with a well-crafted A+B mashup, but here, he starts venturing into Earworm/Titus Jones territory, taking 12 songs and fusing them into one seamless song creation.

DJ ShyBoy – Bette Davis Eyes In The Dark (Graph Gonzales vs. Kim Carnes vs. Corey Hart) – Los Angeles
One way to try to break an up-and-coming artist is to mash up one of her songs with (in this case) much more well-known songs. Here, DJ ShyBoy does just that, taking Canadian indie/alternative/pop musician Graph Gonzales and mashing her up with TWO ’80s classics. Shyboy creates a very beautiful mashup out of these, perhaps greater than the sum of its parts… and makes us want to know more about this new artist. And what’s up with Corey Hart this month? His second appearance on this list!

Titus Jones – Bad Things Will Roll With The Devil (Marilyn Manson vs. Christina Aguilera vs. Jace Everett vs. Rihanna vs. Lady GaGa vs. Katy Perry vs. Yeah Yeah Yeahs vs. Drowning Pool vs. 666 vs. Mike Oldfield) - Nashville
Barely released in time for Halloween, this is simply too good (and not too spooky-specific) to only be played once a year. In typical Titus Jones fashion, it’s incredibly diva-licious (although shockingly lacking any Britney Spears), but gets MAJOR bonus points for using the theme song from “True Blood!” Titus Jones does it again!

Voicedude - Moves Like A Deadmau5 (Maroon 5 vs. Deadmau5 vs. Rolling Stones) – Orange County, California
We had unfairly overlooked this one a few months ago, due to the fact that we were simply so sick of that damn Deadmau5 song, surely the most mashed-up song of both 2010 and 2011! But there’s no denying that this mashup works great, and with the added Mick Jagger vocal, it just ties it all together.

When we started the Bootie Top 10, we had rules, dammit! Only 10 mashups! Posted the first week of every month! No more than one mashup per producer! Listed in alphabetical order by bootlegger!

But everyone knows what rules are for: to be broken! Hell, this is Bootie’s mantra!

For one thing, this semi-monthly list of mashup downloads is turning into a “Top 10″ in name only, due to the fact that we rarely whittle this thing down to only 10 tracks, and half the time, we’re trying to make up for posting this shit weeks late anyway.

This month is no exception. Yeah, yeah, we pretty much skipped September, just like we predicted we would, since all we did the entire month was play “catch up” after being at Burning Man, not to mention having so many Booties to run, and an Asia tour to plan! (This is why we gave you guys 15 mashups in August.)

Whatever. We’ve yet to hear anyone complain about us posting TOO MANY free mashups. And since we’ll be gigging in Southeast Asia pretty much the entire month of October, and then be knee-deep in Halloween Booootie parties and the return of Bootie Brooklyn on November 5, don’t expect another “Bootie Top 10″ at least until then. You have been warned!

But to make it up to you, we’re giving you September and October together NOW. And if you’re doing the math, that means between August and October, you’ve gotten 35 mashups. Yes, an extra five mashups – MORE than you’d have gotten in 3 months. Consider it our “late fee.” You’re welcome.

dj BC - Queen of Atlanta (Queen vs. JD and Ludacris vs. Ray Charles vs. CL Smooth vs. Outkast) - Atlanta
It’s only been a few months since dj BC left Bootie Boston to relocate to Atlanta, but he’s already launching Bootie ATL … complete with its own theme song! But what do you expect from a guy who has a Bootie tattoo on his arm? This mashup would definitely make us want to go to the ATL party!

BEE GEES – TRIPLE SHOT
Daily Daze – Stayin’ Low! (Bee Gees vs. Lil’ Jon vs. De La Soul) – Russia
Lobsterdust – Stayin’ Hot (Nelly vs. Bee Gees) - New York City
DJ Rick Lee – Children Should Be Dancing (Bee Gees vs. Dave Darell) – Germany
We have a soft spot for the Bee Gees, as this “triple shot” attests. We couldn’t pick just one! The first two re-appropriate the venerable (and always danceable) music of “Stayin’ Alive,” while the third updates “You Should Be Dancing” for the electro generation, complete with filter sweeps and breakdowns.

DJs From Mars – Eine Kleine Big Booty Bonkers (Dizzee Rascal vs. Bombs Away vs. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) – Italy
DJs From Mars do it again! We are just LOVING this one. And now when people ask “has anyone every mashed up classical music?” we’ve got more than just our own classic Beethoven mashup to showcase. It’s an 18th century mashup resurgence!

KATY PERRY “LAST FRIDAY NIGHT” – DOUBLE SHOT
G3rst – Stand By Last Friday Night (Katy Perry vs. Ben E. King) – The Netherlands
Marc Johnce – You Shook Me All Friday Night Long (Katy Perry vs. AC/DC) – Germany
We unashamedly love Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night” (which pretty much describes how we feel after nearly every Bootie SF party!) So here are two VERY different takes on it, the first turning it into a slow jam which really showcases the lyrics, and the second which Bootie’s house band Smash-Up Derby should be covering very soon, since it sounds practically tailor-made for them!

CLASSIC ROCK GOES ELECTRO – TRIPLE SHOT
Hifi Banjo Strings – Wait For A Ride (Boston vs. Holy Ghost!) – UK
LeeDM101 – History Of A Lonely Heart (Yes vs. Groove Armada) – UK
MadMixMustang – So, Did Ya Think About It? (Rod Stewart vs. Fedde Le Grand) – The Netherlands
Considering how much the mashup scene is oversaturated with tracks featuring vocals by current rappers and pop divas (ooops! see above) it’s always a welcome relief to hear vocals from vintage songs get mashed up. Here, three classic rock staples get modern electro makeovers, recontextualizing three artists from the ’70s and giving them all a fresh sound.

Isosine – Psychosocial Baby (Justin Bieber vs. Slipknot) – Canada
This made the rounds on the internet months ago, but it took us a while to get to it. Sure it’s got the classic mashup “wow factor” – Slipknot singing over a Justin Bieber song? WTF? But once you get past the initial novelty of the total genre-clash, it still holds up, showcasing Slipknot’s nascent pop sensibilities, especially on the chorus.

ABBA “SUPER TROUPER” – DOUBLE SHOT
MadMixMustang – Super Jumper (ABBA vs. Van Halen) – The Netherlands
The Reborn Identity – Lights Are Gonna Find Me (ABBA vs. Ellie Goulding) – UK
You can always tell when a new acapella get leaked, because the entire bootleg community jumps on it like hungry vultures, flooding the scene with mashups that all crib from the same material. The mashup scene has been sorely lacking some ABBA, but apparently the “Super Trouper” ‘pella recently got leaked. Let’s hope there’s more where that came from!

Marc Johnce – Freaky Kicks In The Dark (Foster The People vs. Dev vs. Mayra Verónica) – Germany
Marc Johnce has been a pop powerhouse in the mashup scene lately, resulting in his second appearance here this month. We’ve been waiting for a really good mashup using Foster The People’s “Pumped Up Kicks” and this delivers. Marc, you’ve done it again.

MASHUP-GERMANY – DOUBLE SHOT
Mashup-Germany – Enjoy Yourself (Hillsong United vs. Blur vs. MGMT vs. Jaquee vs. Katy Perry vs. Culcha Candela vs. Marteria vs. Nirvana vs. Madcon) – Germany
Mashup-Germany – Leveled Without You (David Guetta feat. Usher vs. DJ Icey & Willi Wonk vs. Avicii) – Germany
Bootie Berlin‘s Mashup-Germany is our special guest DJ at Bootie LA and SF this month, so it makes sense to feature two sides of this mashup master. The first is a rock track that combines no less than nine artists. The second is a rare A+B from a producer who’s generally not happy unless he’s mashing up at least half a dozen songs. But this track is hot, and gives Usher an electro edge we love.

Mighty Mike – Crazy Time To Relax (Frankie Goes To Hollywood vs. Seal vs. Chic) – France
We just did ’70s vs. ’80s Mashup Night at Bootie SF, and we wish we had this one at the time! Oh well, we can still save it for when we do our disco-themed night, Bootie-O 54! Another great track from France’s Mighty Mike.

MixmstrStel & DJ Tripp – Where Dem Moves At, Judas? (Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera vs. Lady Gaga vs. David Guetta) – Boston / Santa Cruz, CA

Damn you, Maroon 5. We thought we hated you. I mean, we still kinda do, but now it’s because you made us actually like one your songs. That is one fine catchy pop melody, which goes even better with some David Guetta and Lady Gaga. This is well-produced dancefloor gold.

Swede Mason – Masterchef Synesthesia (Buttery Biscuit Bass) [feat. Gregg Wallace & John Torrode] – UK
This was our camp’s theme song at Burning Man this year. You had to be there. But really, it’s the video that makes this track anyway, so just watch it here, as it remixes vocal samples from the UK TV show “Masterchef’ and turns it into a BUMPIN’ dance track. Watch out for the obligatory “wobble” dubstep breakdown! The two chefs liked it so much they actually sanctioned an official release in the UK!

Titus Jones – Don’t Stop Believin’ In This Love On Earth (Lady Gaga vs. Belinda Carlisle vs. Journey vs. Madonna vs. Ke$ha vs. Bruno Mars vs. Leona Lewis vs. New York Outlaw) – Nashville
Last but certainly not least, this has been Adrian’s “secret weapon set-closer” lately. Taken from his still-great “Culture Shock” album, Titus Jones seems to be gunning for Earworm’s crown with this one, resulting in this pop mash-terpiece.

Where’s my free shit? It’s here folks, it’s here!

Despite being bogged down in the thick of preparations for our epic Bootie 8-Year Anniversary in San Francisco (yes, we’ve really been doing this for eight years!) … which includes our own wild multimedia DJ set/show called “The A+D Show 3, This Time It’s Personal” … and despite getting ready for Bootie BRC (our party at Burning Man at the end of the month) … we still managed to crank out a Top 10 for August, which includes many bootleggers making their first appearance.

With a dozen tracks and three “double-shots,” the total is actually 15 mashups for you to download. So count those extra 5 tracks as our late fee! Or rather, we’re paid up in free mashups through the middle of next month! (We’ll be away at Burning Man, so the September Top 10 will be released mid-month.)

A PLUS D DOUBLE-SHOT
A Plus D – Party Rock Song 2 (LMFAO vs. Blur) – San Francisco
A Plus D – Gucci Gucci Girl Power (Kreayshawn vs. Toni Basil vs. Le Tigre vs. The Ting Tings vs. The Trashwomen vs. The Go-Go’s) – San Francisco
Throwing at least five mashup parties a month doesn’t always leave much time for actual mashup production, but we’ve been abnormally productive this past month. The first was an exclusive for the “Mash-Up Your Bootz Vol. 50″ compilation. Remember guitars? We put the actual ROCK in “Party Rock Anthem.” CHECK OUT THE VIDEO made by Tommy Papke!
The second features Kreayshawn, a hot, young, white female indie rapper from Oakland, CA who is blowing up right now. We had so many ideas for so many mashups — yes, rap really IS that easy to mash up — that we decided to combine several ideas into one track, connected by the fact that they’re all female artists, spanning 30 years of music. Girl power! And as an added bonus, this may be a first: one of the backing artists in this mashup is The Trashwomen, an all-female, regionally-popular Cali surf-punk band from the ’90s, which included Kreayshawn’s mother on guitar. Yes, we mashed Kreayshawn up with … her MOM!

DEPRESSING DECEASED DIVA DOUBLE-SHOT
DJs From Mars – November Rehab (Amy Winehouse vs. Guns N’ Roses) – Torino, Italy
Production Unit – Intro Again (Aaliyah vs. the xx) – Glasgow, UK
Could these two mashups get any more depressing? Or poignant? Added pathos by the sheer fact that the singers in both these mashups died tragically too soon. And if you ever wondered if DJs From Mars could produce a traditional A+B mashup without their signature electro sound, your question has been answered. Their Amy Winehouse tribute nearly brought tears to our eyes. It’s that beautiful … and heartbreaking. R.I.P. Amy and Aaliyah.

Divide & Kreate – Dogmother (Danzig vs Rex the Dog) – Stockholm, Sweden
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Divide & Kreate, but he returns with an electro makeover for a rock classic. Who knew “Mother” could be so electronic and danceable? Don’t tell Danzig!

Dylan Vasey – OMG You Changed The Way You Kiss Me (Usher vs. Example) – London
We are loving this Example track – a huge hit in the UK, but still not even released in U.S. Perhaps a guest vocal by Usher will make it more palatable for American ears?

“IT GETS BETTER” MASHUP!
Elastic Productions – Never Be Afraid To Be Who You Are (Glee Cast vs. Westlife vs. Oasis vs. Cat Stevens)
A previously undiscovered gem from “The 3rd World” mashup compilation – see, that’s what happens when the meaningful slow songs are buried at the end. It’s a beautiful, heartfelt mashup that could very easily be the anthem for the “It Gets Better” project for queer or questioning youth.

G3rst – Cheated Luv (Yeah Yeah Yeahs vs. The Ordinary Boys) – The Netherlands
G3rst is known for his off-beat, creative mashups that often make use of underused source material and musical genres that other bootleggers won’t touch. Here, he doesn’t disappoint, turning the Yeah Yeah Yeahs tune into a jaunty, folksy ditty.

Jimmy Klok – Drop Dead Pretty Girl Yeah! (Britney Spears vs. Keri Hilson vs. Chris Brown vs. Method Man vs. Cutting Crew) – Germany
Pure pop club gold from a German bootlegger making his first appearance on our Top 10. So very “now now now” … and guaranteed to make the Bootie dance floor move! This also contains a very humble *ahem* Keri Hilson vocal that cracks us up every time: “Don’t hate me ‘cuz I’m beautiful!” Super fun to sing along to.

ELLIE GOULDING DUBSTEP/ELECTRO DOUBLE-SHOT
Kap Slap – E.T. Feels Starry Eyed (Ellie Goulding vs. Bill Posters vs. Katy Perry vs. Modestep vs. Stellamara vs. Empire Of The Sun vs. Busta Rhymes vs. Xilent) – Kentucky, USA
3LAU – All Night Long (Ellie Goulding vs. LMFAO vs. Mann vs. Felguk vs. Darth & Vader) – St. Louis, USA
Two producers from the Midwest mash up British songstress Ellie Goulding – among others – by giving her the clubby remix treatment. And yes, one of these is a dubstep track. I can’t believe we’ve finally succumbed to including dubstep. It’s incredibly trendy right now, but we’ve been hearing it at Burning Man for years … and have never really loved it. But tracks like this are warming us up to the genre (and the Ellie and Katy vocals help).

Marc Johnce – Who Dat Addictive Bad S&M Girl (David Guetta feat. Taio Cruz & Ludacris vs. Flo-Rida feat. Akon vs. Britney Spears vs. Rihanna vs. Medina vs. Katy Perry vs. Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull) – Germany
With at least six songs mashed into one track, this doesn’t do much to dispell the notion that “all pop songs today sound the same.” But it DOES prove Marc Johnce’s ample production talents! If you like dancefloor pop, this one’s for you!

Maya Jakobson vs. Lobsterdust – Deep Dream Control (Missy Elliott vs. Adele vs. Britney Spears vs. Stevie Nicks vs. Tchaikovsky) – Tel Aviv / New York City
We’re giving away a “Bootie secret weapon” here. This is actually only HALF a new mashup on the Top 10, since Maya Jackobson’s first half already appeared here a few months ago. But she wasn’t the only one who discovered that Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” mashes seamlessly with Britney Spears’ “Till The World Ends,” as dozens of bootleggers have made the same track, including Lobsterdust, who included a surprise appearance by Stevie Nicks. So we combined our favorite parts for a mashup of the mashups! Fun fact: Both bootleggers are Israeli!

Titus Jones - Hello Girl, Let’s Party Til The End (Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette vs. Britney Spears vs. LMFAO vs. No Doubt vs. Sum 41 vs. Vanilla Ice) – Nashville
On the lead track off the “Mash-Up Your Bootz Vol. 5″ compilation, our favorite bootlegger from Nashville, Titus Jones, knocks it out of the park , showcasing his signature mega-mash style. (BTW, is there a Britney Spears single this man has NOT mashed up?)

DJ Topcat – Summertime In The City (Mos Def vs. Lovin’ Spoonful) – Seattle
It’s still summertime, so we just HAD to include this one, our favorite track off the annual “Summer Booty 2011″ (no relation to Bootie) mashup compilation. Reminds us of hot summer days … which we don’t really get in San Francisco! But we hope YOU are out there enjoying them!
