Bootie is about the underground. It represents all the things you don't want to admit to liking, but are strangely drawn to. The music, the culture, the identity are all drawn together in one place and that place is Bootie.

Bootie SL is the same. It's where the people in the know come to hang out, to gather in unison to dance the night away in a club fitting of the Bootie name. Like the DNA Lounge in San Francisco, Club Republik is one of the hottest, if not THE hottest club in Second Life.

Club Republik
is owned by Sable Sunset, Lina Pussycat, Amanda Shinji, and Joseph Lian. Republik is sleek yet harsh, modern yet classic, and industrial yet stylish. It was originally founded in 2006, being one of SecondLife's longest-running clubs. It underwent several facelifts until reaching its current form, and it encompasses everything you want in a club and represents the best in SL club culture. The busy DJ roster includes Miss Cyberpink, Doubledown Tandino, Jefferson Mills, Chipps Hartono, Walton Vieria, TheDiva Rockin, Janica Schonbrun, and Tristan Carthage and presents a wide range of genres and styles, plus more specialized sets like Boot Camp (on alternate Saturdays to Bootie SL). Club Republik is a haven for anyone who likes their music hard, fast and with its tongue firmly placed in cheek... but we don't do Country OR Western ;-)




So what's a mashup? What's a bootleg?
It's pretty much all the same. Also known as "bastard pop," a bootleg is a song that's "mashed-up." Usually, this means the vocal track of one song is mixed over the instrumentation of another. Using audio editing software, DJs and mashup artists combine different artists and musical genres to create new and unique songs that are often greater than the sum of their parts. Imagine Michael Jackson rocking out with Nirvana, Britney Spears singing with Daft Punk, Cher fronting AC/DC, or Ludacris rapping with Depeche Mode. Can't imagine that? Then get your ass to Bootie to hear for yourself!

Is this legal?
Does the skull-and-crossbones in our logo mean anything to you?

So where can I get these mashups?
Since 99.999% of all mashups aren't legally cleared by the artists, you can't just go to a store and buy them. However, illegal MP3s of these bootleg mixes are available all over the internet. Click on some of the links above to find some for yourself!

WHAT OTHERS SAY
ABOUT BOOTIE SL:

"BootieSL: The only reason worth sitting at home in front of my computer on a Saturday night." -- Dov Watanabe

"Bootie Parties are THE hottest Parties in SL -- worth losing sleep over!" -- TheDiva Rockin

"Bootie ... well what does Bootie mean to me? From the rocking dykes and mashup freaks at the old Cherry Bar to the cavernous DNA Lounge with live shows, pirates ahoy, and superstar Jedi DJs, it holds a lot of warm, fond, and slightly chaotically-tinged memories. From live drag lip-sync fashion shows, seeing a crowd go mad for Eric Kleptone to talking Kiss with Dada and a hobo outside, dropping a track you know the Bootie crowd will go mad for and they do, there is a little bit of friendly madness about Bootie.I've DJ'd there twice, once solo in 2004 and once with friends in 2006 as Instamatic and DJNoNo -- it's always fun and it's a credit to Adrian and Mysterious D that they instil a little bit of the ol' Bootie madness even in a 1,500 capacity venue -- and can now share that with the world with the audio stream and webcam. Bootie via Mr. Kleptone even introduced me to one of the staples of my set at Bootie -- Funkytown Kiss -- which with it's mix of disco, Tom Jones, and Prince, kind of sums up in one track the Bootie spirit, unashamedly pop but also slightly warped -- in a very enjoyable way!
And now Bootie has now brought that musical madness to Second Life, so you can enjoy the music and chat with fellow partygoers and hear Bootie live from San Francisco ... Bootie's spirit fits the rebellious and hacking/mashing spirit of the pioneers of SL closely, and who knows even the pirates of SL might turn up!" -- Tim aka DJNoNo Ulysses

"I've been going to Bootie in SL since before it was Bootie. I love mashups, and went to a mashup event that turned out to be Andy's first Bootie night at his new house! For fans of mashups, Bootie is THE source for the latest and greatest, and I think we're damn lucky to have the Bootie SF event streamed to SL. It's one of the only clubs I ever go to here, and Bootie SL has the best music in SL period! Thanks! -- Valerie Bethune, Bootie SL veteran
