Adrian & the Mysterious D
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DJs Adrian & the Mysterious D (née Adrian and Deidre Roberts) – a.k.a. A plus D – are widely recognized as the DJ duo who helped bring mashup and bootleg culture to America. Based in San Francisco, the couple started club Bootie in 2003, the first mashup bootleg party in the United States. In 2005, they started a sister Bootie club in Los Angeles, and in 2007, launched Bootie parties in New York City and Paris.
Under their bootlegger moniker, A plus D, they have created dozens of mashups, often utilizing underground and alternative artists for their bootlegs.
They have been nominated twice – 2004 and 2006 – in the "Best DJ" category in the SF Weekly Music Awards.
In August 2007 in San Francisco, they staged "The A+D Show" at the DNA Lounge, a multimedia mashup show that mixed DJing with video and live performance.
