Bootleg Social

To bootleg is to trade in the illicit, to venture into the underworld and to partake of prohibited pleasures as you dance your ass off in the face of the powers to be. So taking their cue from the sexy speakeasies of yesteryear a motley crue of misfits from the southlands formed the Bootleg Social. To stage events that will bring back that anything goes, hedonistic atmosphere. More than a club night, more than an event, every Bootleg Social is a gathering of like minds that are all quite unashamedly up to no good.When you enter any Bootleg Social event you check not only your coat at the door, you check your inhibitions, your preconceptions and your attitude as you enter a truly unique clubbing experience, an experience where you’ll feel so good that it has just got to be illegal. The Bootleg Boys go to great lengths to ensure that the outside world is entirely forgotten, the house is devilishly sexy, the decor debauched, the girls raunchy and the vibe that delightful blend of sophistication and sleaze.Celebrating their first birthday at a very appropriate 1920s Valentine’s ball was the Bootlegs Social’s coming of age, coming out and it positively coming all over the place, spectacular. It managed the impossible to be chic, elegant, stylish and decidedly messy all at the same time – it was if all that every preceding Bootleg Social was building towards unleashing itself on the Big Smoke, in one almighty club land climax.Every Bootleg Social is wickedly themed from fashionaistas to speakeasy’s to masked balls, so the minute you walk in the door expect to lose yourself in a carefully crafted wonderland of excess.The Bootleg Social team’s ability to whip the crowd into frenzy has brought them to the dance floors of Ministry and Renaissance and spinning with industry luminaries like Defected, Bob Sinclair, Shapeshifters and now Roger Sanchez. So you can expect bigger things from Tobie Allen, Martin B, Ail C, Shaun Duvet and Future Filth as they blaze a beat trail country wide and beyond, spreading their nasty groves wherever they can carve them.With national nights in the offing, digital releases, radio shows, and international tours their downright criminal behaviour is not going to stop here. In all honesty it should be banned right now, but we all know all the best fruits are the forbidden ones.It’s Bootleg Social where it just feels to so good to be bad!
Did you ever; mix with the goths in the chillout room of Deviate, throw shapes at Nexus, got lost in the clouds of Power stations' toilets, rocked to the sounds of Fitchie and Dodgy B at Bar Do-Me, swing from the rafters at Boiler Room, picked apples at a Vortex, went to heaven at a Pharcyde rave, starred at Table Mountain from the terrace at Rush, experienced the bass in D-lite and Zone, had apple sours at the back of Pure,pass out at Studio 47, gotillicit at Illusions, sunk tequila with the bad boy Dent at Beat Boutique, try to find your mother and a Mother rave, needed a helping hand up the stairs of Unity, danced in the living room of Funk-E House, got wicked at a Wicked even, hob knobbed at Kapital and smodelled at Rhodes House, got sleazy at Angels, saw Tony De Vit R.I.P and a certain young Fergie at the Loft, ogled at dancers at 96 degrees, got religious at Budha Bar, mashed it up at More, complained about Gallery but still ended up there on a Sunday morning, grooved to the sounds of the Funktion, got sweaty at Heat or got ressurected at a Rise Up, mixed it up at Spyce, carried on at Eezy Rhythm, tried pulling at Euphoria on a mon in the suburbs, dressed up at the legendary Sleaze events by Colin, funked it up at Fez or just got down and dirty at Anything Goes...., go to Signal Hill and saw the sunrise or even swam at the waterfall on Table mountain with randoms you've met on a night out, played pool while on one at G-spot lounge, frolicked with whales at the O bar in hermanus, had a life changing experience at 3 30, survived the legendary ESP, swung your hips at 52 Parliament in Port Elizabeth or simply just got on it at home with your mates........! I can tell you I experienced all this and much more. We all take different paths in life and many of us that experienced the fun and games of the last 10 years in South Africa are now here in the UK. Bootleg unites what we all have in common and thats the love of music.......... After the massive success of Reunite the Carnage which brought together numerous old and new faces for a night of shenanigans and mayhem I will be continue in the same manner - promoting small intimate gatherings away from the main stream. Look froward to seeing you on the dance floor in some state or other...Bootleg Social.....breaking the rules!http://www.bootlegsocial.com http://www.myspace.com/bootlegsocialsolu... http://www.flickr.com/groups/bootlegsoci... http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=52... http://www.dontstayin.com/parties/bootleg... http://www.youtube.com/tobieallen http://www.youtube.com/bootlegsocial
