Like the new Streets tune but want to play it at a drum n bass night? Simple! Just slice and dice the original, nail some new beats and bass to the underside and voila - a bootleg.
Due to the copyright complexities involved in getting remix permissions, many artists choose to keep these unofficial remixes for their own DJ sets, or simply give them away for free - thereby avoiding the problems of profiting from somebody else's creation.
Here's a selection of some laaaaaarge booties doing the rounds at the moment.
Eric B and Rakim - Know The Ledge (Atomic Hooligan Remash)
http://www.zshare.net/audio/59419785a4178727/
A classic of 90s hip hop gets thoroughly mangled and recharged with chunky bass and breaks by the mighty Atomic Hooligan. Get it while it's hot.

4Hero - Mr Kirk's Nightmare (Cloak and Dagger Remix)
http://www.dnbshare.com/download/4h...Remix_.mp3.html
Another 90s track gets the 21st Century treatment, this time 4Hero's spooky, sinister tune is put through Cloak & Dagger's dubstep machine.

Isaac Hayes - Walk On By (Kabz Remix)
http://www.zshare.net/audio/5923951315fc874c/
To prove that no era is out of bounds, Isaac Hayes' funky strutter is given a moody grimey re-dub by DJ Kabz. Loving the extreme distortion on this one.

Babe Instinct - Disco Babes From Outer Space (Selfsimilar Remix)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ddqthyzdmda/Selfsimilar_DiscoBabesFromOuterSpace_Bootlegmix_320.mp3
A filtered disco, vocoder house track given a dubstep rinseout? Yep, it's true. So get those hands in the air and wait for the drop. Turn up your sub and watch the walls crumble.

SL2 - On A Ragga Tip (Division By Zero Bootleg)
http://ben.j.abbey.googlepages.com/sl2-on_a_ragga_tip_dbz_remix_web.mp3
Leaving dubstep behind for a moment, let's turn up the BPM with DBZ's massive relick of this old skool anthem.

The Specials – Ghost Town (DJG Bootleg)
Don Carlos – Late Night Blues (DJG Bootleg)
http://djgblog.tumblr.com/
Two slick bootlegs from DJG – guaranteed to mash up any dubstep party. His blog is well worth a read as an insight into the sort of problems artists encounter when trying to release bootlegs.

Daft Punk – Harder Better Faster Stronger (2 Ninjas Dubstep Remix)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?itwg2awkrtk
The instantly recognisable vocal makes this possibly one of the most bootied tunes of all time. 2 Ninjas give it the bouncy dub treatment with a couple of massive drops and some nice breaks thrown in for good measure.

La Roux – Going In For The Kill (Small Skree-Rub)
http://www.yousendit.com/download/dVlyT ... NVdGa1E9PQ
DJ Small Fry takes an annoying chart pop track and turns in a pretty decent progressive breaks remix.

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=ac6ac83533021d4bd2db6fb9a8902bda
Another annoying pop track getting the prog breaks treatment, this time courtesy of Noiseboy.
