He’s a rock singer-turned-DJ who fronts the world’s only mashup band. She’s a party girl-turned-DJ who helped create the biggest mashup club in the world. Together, they’re “rebel DJs” Adrian & the Mysterious D. Known mostly as the couple who helped bring mashup culture to America, the duo have forged a reputation as crowd-pleasing selectors who not only shamelessly bridge the gap between genres, but between the alternative and the mainstream. This is best evidenced by the success of their club Bootie, the first mashup bootleg party in the United States. Launched in San Francisco in 2003, Bootie has attracted mashup DJs from around the globe, and last year, opened a sister club in Los Angeles, further solidifying the DJ couple’s renown as pioneers of the American mashup scene.

When they’re not huddled over a hot PowerBook playing with Ableton Live, or digital crate-digging for the latest bastard pop creations, the duo can be found at various parties, mixing an eclectic blend of electro, pop, rock, hip-hop, indie dance rock, and whatever else moves a dance floor. Quite simply, they know how to bring the party. They have played such events as private parties for the Scissor Sisters, gigs alongside Peaches and Princess Superstar, as well as spinning at events featuring artists from Lady Sovereign to Nina Hagen to The Killers. The duo have also played overseas, with gigs in London, Amsterdam, and Paris.

I have a lil crush on Adrian. S/he is every where I want to be, wearing the cutest outfits, throwing down the best mix. Club Booty is the best dance night in SF.

Agreed. I heard the original on the radio the other day and it could not compare.

Beethoven's Fifth Gold Digger is better than the original, amusingly enough.
