> Question of the day: What is "BOOTY"? It's the next big thing after jungle. Or maybe after speed house. It refers to that dirty ghetto-ish house music. You know the stuff.... "Work that dick! Work that dick dick!" etc. it lends itself to Luke Skywalker albumns of old. > When we were in Detroit for the > Kraftwerk show, my friends and I saw a section in the techno/dance room at > Record Time labelled "BOOTY", and I've now seen it mentioned on a couple > of rave flyers. Later that night, we were a little drunk and driving > around the city (well, the driver wasn't drunk, but the rest of us were) > and we flipped on some clubmix radio show, and they were playing some > crazy-ass fast-as-fuck dance stuff that really kicked, and it didn't seem > to be any of the styles we're familiar with (house, speed garage, trance, > whatever), so we're thinkin' maybe it was BOOTY. > > "Yo man, gotta get me some o' that MOTOR CITY BOOTY!!" was our slogan for > the rest of the drunken rage that the evening became. > > > And speaking of booty - I got some cool swag from Warp yesterday, in the > form of a couple of promo posters for WAP100. They're a sort of lime green > colour, with "wap100%indiefuckindependent" written across the top and > images of a few dozen of their singles. I was thinking of bringing one in > to hang in my new office at work, but I don't think the "f" word will go > over well. > > > Greg "BOOTY" Clow > brian tang royalblue technologies
