The Freelance Hellraiser

The Freelance Hellraiser (née Roy Kerr) is one of the most respected creators of the UK bootleg scene. He gained fame with a mash called "A Stroke of Genius", which combined an instrumental edit of The Strokes' track "Hard To Explain" with Christina Aguilera's pop hit "Genie in A Bottle". Although originally greeted by a cease and desist order by RCA records, the combination was subsequently a top ten UK hit for Scottish band Speedway, and Freelance Hellraiser went on to remix Aguilera's single "Fighter", as well as tracks for Placebo and ex-The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft.
