What Is Booty House?
Booty House / Ghetto Tech / Juke House is a musical style that originated out of the Chicago underground and became wildly popular between 1992-1998. Booty House music predominantly features minimal uses of 808 and 909 drum machine and raunchy, sexually explicit repetitive lyric samples. Check out the short documentary below to get a taste.
NJ Foster
Nick Foster has a background in music composition, but is undeniably
attracted to Casio keyboards and double sweet kickcore breaks. He is
currently working on another album for Billygoat Database titled
"Total Data," incorporating every sound known to man. He also sings,
drums and plays keyboards for Palace of Buddies, a
electronic/indie/melodramatic pop band based in Salt Lake City. When
he is not working on his tracks, he spends time with his cat and gets
into the sticky icky.

Nonnon
Dave Madden's (aka dj webern, non non, Chomsky at the Bit, Wasabe P) earliest memories have nothing to do with playing ball, or going to grandma's, or riding a tricycle around Ogden: they involve pondering the oddity of the Magical Mystery Tour album art, playing a one-string guitar along with Paint it Black and trying to figure out what the hell some guy meant by I am the Lizard King -- thank heavens for hippie moms!
After spending his teenage years obsessed with Bauhaus and Depeche Mode, Dave attended university to study sound engineering/jazz guitar. He soon realized that being behind the console isn't where he wanted to be so, on a whim, he switched to composition and started writing all the weird academic music that chases everyone out of Humanities 101 -- focusing on computer assisted composition and, specifically, improvisation. He uses a laptop and electronics (such a cute term) to perform and DJ all over the world, from Montreal to Chico, California, in universities, museums and ghetto coffee shops, preferring the types of crowds who enjoy John Cage back to back with Massive Attack and his own realtime manipulation of both.
Dave has worked for video game companies, film, television and all other manner of music-as-commodity companies. Now post-grad school, Dave spends his time still in front of a console, though listening to his own music, comprised of field recordings, found sounds and feedback. He is currently finishing up 1) a collection of white label remixes that he will probably leave on park benches, as he cant afford a team of lawyers to clear the samples 2) an album with post-hop act Lapsed due Spring 2007. He continues to DJ and perform (most recently as 1/2 of the live version of Lapsed) and also writes about and reviews music for SplendidMagazine.com, SLUG Magazine and The Squid's Ear.
