Known about this for a long while but finally got a flyer etc: Bootie London! A one-off, with The Kleptones, A&D, the Bootie Berlin Mashia and DJ Payroll DJing at Cargo on the 9th April…I’ll be there, definitely. And am planning to meet up with A&D beforehand too. It’s interesting cos last time they were here I asked them if there would ever be a Bootie London – and got a coy response…and now they indeed return with a special Bootie London.

And it looks like most, if not all of the UK Mashuperati will be there…

As well as being released and played in part on XFM, 72 the collaborative mashup project will have a live mashup event in London on Thursday 29th October at Loom bar from 7pm-1am with many mashup DJs in a continuous moving mashup feast! Idea is like the old Bastard ‘Bring Yer Own Boots’ – each DJ brings 3 tracks but similar to 72, one track at a time, in order!

This means the night has a dream DJ list of many people picking just the best 3 tunes, which I think should provide great if chaotic results – totally in the spirit of Bastard! And like Bastard it won’t just be mashups, but I’m sure you’ll hear a few

I will be DJing (well putting on 3 tunes) as well as:

Osymyso
Freelance Hellraiser
LV15
Bush No.10
Jez Celebrity Murder Party
Joel 90
Ape
Lee Spoons
Cartelmike
Eddie Pedalo
Dsico
Pheripheral
Scott Cairo
Tizwarz
Gara Gara
and Pom Deter, who ran the 72 project with Eddie Pedalo.

I’m sure many more to be added! Should be a great night, it’s free so come on down, the mashup’s lovely! And it will be one of the few (read: only) events you will see me anywhere near DJ decks in the near future since I am officially retired

Well I retired the DJing but seem to have gone through a creative burst on the mashup front – a new one from DJNoNo (in the realms of a Supercalibreakz classic, I mean it!) which might be released tonight or tomorrow, and a few others in production!

Iin the mean time you can hear an exclusive of another mashup I’m working on by listening to the great Amanda Shinji aka Ms Cyberpink’s electro mix as first premiered in Second Life’s premiere night-spot Club Republik:

(And yes Amanda you should create that Madonna vs Blue Monday live mashup into a proper one, it’s a corker!)

Fed up with YouTube pulling my videos, here is MutantPopTV – really a bunch of FLVs and MP4s on my server, but a hopefully permanent home for these videos. As with any TV channel you’ve got a mix here – from my mashup music videos, full VJ sets, video podcasts and random DJing/drunken rambles and old art degree videos – many hours of watching, and as it’s on shuffle you’d always get a random next video – or select from the list if there’s something you like the look of.

I’ll add more as I find it or export it at the higher quality here – this should play fine on broadband connections 512Mb or faster – if not let it preload, as it’s not live streaming you won’t miss a thing

Oh and before you rip any videos from here I’d be happy to send you a link to a hi-res QT H264 MOV if I have it (and most of them I do) rather than anyone trying to use or play low-res FLVs – just click ‘contact’ above.

Here’s the audio(and video if you scroll down) of my International Mash Bash set (btw several inclusions of Lady Sov’s Love Me Or Hate Me means it is a bit sweary in places). The idea of the set was to combine audio and video – a new one for me – and in part represent Bastard and a theme runs through it commemorating 20 years since the Second Summer of Love (1989) – it seems piano house sound is coming back, so I wanted to mix old and new.

Also it includes Far Out – which was one of the first songs I DJ’d back in 1994 at Milk Laboratory (hence the Milk Lab mentions in the video which I also did) approriate as I said in my previous post, this is my last DJ set…at least for some time, might do VJing, might do online DJing, but probably the last one I’ll do in the flesh. Far too stressful, and far too many people ‘not getting it’ even when I try and make a floorfilling set like this one. Time to stop

EDIT: Safari users might want to download and play the MP3 below rather than click the player, looks like Soundcloud’s Flash has a problem with Safari going crashy crashy…

And drumroll – here’s the video. Yes I’ve combined the backing video for the Saarbruecken DJing with the set audio – most of it is synched, especially at the end. It is itself a mashup of films, found video, my own work, stop frame anim and animation. It includes video from:

• Unfinished works from 2002 – you might recognise a few people in there
• Hausu (strange 1977 Japanese film)
• My Milk Lab Tapes and TV Smash films
• Amiga demos new and old
• Architectural films
• 24 Hour Party People
• A Swiss documentary about Bastard
• Variety films from the turn of the last century
• Certain D*sney films starring Julie Andrew
• Various documentaries on the Second Summer of Love, rave culture
• Music videos (like, duh)
• UHF (Weird Al film) and Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
• My Printer Jam video (incidentally Fox has just removed that off YouTube! Boo!)
• Mistah Pok video for Burn Yr Radio with a new arty background which will make you go postal
• Wild Zero – another exceedingly odd Japanese movie
