Balihu Records label owner Daniel Wang headlined the loft at Public Works for the AYLI 3 Year Anniversary. His podcast and interview in preparation for the celebration were a perfect compliment and representation of AYLI's last three years. Following Kendig B2B with Conor, Wang brought the "disco inferno" to a fervor pitch. Take a moment to take in all that Daniel Wang delivers.

Originating as a pianist, Indy’s years of experience shows through his soulful melodies and hypnotic, yet grooved out, rhythms.  Indy Nyles is one of Oakland California’s finest live techno musicians. Over the last two decades, he has studied the intricacies of analog synthesis and hardware construction. Armed with this knowledge, Indy has built his own multi-faceted instrument rig, pieces of which he transports to warehouses, live venues and nightclubs whenever invited to share his vision of rich, warm west coast techno. Indy is also a versatile DJ and lifelong vinyl collector, always pushing a heavy groove of pulsing techno, unapologetic acid and ambient house jams. He has shared the decks with Lando at Oakland’s Rare Form party and alongside Erika for the Shuffle Co-Op.  Indy’s home studio can be summarized as a carefully curated, complex system of synthesizers, keyboards, patch-cables, drum machines, homemade 'sound boxes' and a wide assortment of effects pedals. His live sets are always an exploration of sound and rhythm – no two are quite the same and yet every show will leave you feeling like you went on a deep and personal journey into Indy’s mind. Alongside his own productions, Indy supports live hardware musicians through his label, Important Jogger, with releases available in both digital and cassette formats. Indy approaches nothing in half measures, each production showcases his strong drive to push the boundaries of experimentation with machines and his keen eye on the sounds of the future...

Currently based in San Francisco, Farsight adventurously cross-pollinates the UK hardcore continuum with genres like trap music, jersey club, reggaeton and dancehall, cultivating a rabid following both domestically and across the Atlantic.
 
Emerging as an artist to watch with a daring EP on Belgium-based Maloca Records in 2020 and rave-inflected vinyl for the UK's Scuffed Records in 2021, further releases with Tropopause Records, Lobster Theremin sublabel Breaks 'N' Pieces, and Scuffed Records in 2022 have made evident Farsight's artistic range and hunger to create. 

Farsight's mutant hybrids have been smuggled onto the dancefloor by the likes of Sherelle, Pearson Sound, Jaguar, Pangaea, Anz, DJ Zinc, Madam X, Dixon, Emerald Rose Lewis, Nikki Nair, Fauzia, India Jordan, Batu, Jossy Mitsu, Moxie, Doctor Jeep, Breaka, ZULI, Om Unit, and other selective selectors.

Silent Servant AYLI Sandwell District Showcase

Ahead of The Stud Fundraiser party with The Carry Nation and Prosumer at Public Works, As You Like It spent a little time catching up with one of the longest running DJs in the SF nightlife scene, Steve Fabus. Steve has been on the forefront of the Disco and Underground House community since the 70s. Having seen it all and experienced all aspects of the SF nightlife, we thought we’d get a chance to ask Steve Fabus’ thoughts on where the scene has been, where it’s going and of course what pivotal role The Stud has to play in the San Francisco Nightlife community.

Few DJs in San Francisco have the range that San Francisco's Solar Langevin can claim. Having perfected the opening, closing and headlining set, with over 19 years of DJing experience, at Pacific Sound's Sunset parties. You can catch him on the decks most weekends, sometimes as many as three times in one night, in dark basements, large clubs and outside at park parties. We're proud to welcome him back for a special opening set for DJ Koze, Nov. 12, 2011 at the Beatbox, San Francisco, CA.

This rare recording of Solar is from the acclaimed Acid Test (all vinyl) parties at the Smart Bar in Chicago.

@mossmoss
Mattie Bowen aka Mossmoss was the first As You Like It resident. His range can be credited with the shape of most line-ups. You can catch him opening the night, closing the night, peak-hour, and off-peak. Basically, Mossmoss makes it happen. So far we've only released one podcast per month, but this one is too good to hold on to. 

Coming up Nov. 26 we're honored to welcome back Nicolas Jaar LIVE (Clown & Sunset, Circus Company, Wolf & Lamb // New York City) for his second AYLI appearance and in preparation we're releasing this mix by Mossmoss, for a taste of what you can find at one of our nights.

This recording is from Killswitch at Underground SF, in San Francisco, CA, October 28 2011.

The new podcast series “AYLI Ground Level” shines a light on artists that create the fabric of our community: City by city, state by state, country by country. In a different year, under a different environment, Washington, D.C.’s Baronhawk Poitier would be an “it” name of the summer festival season. His release on Honey Soundsystem would have been played by DJs near and far, bringing a smile to the face of the moodiest raver. For a debut release, his polished sound, infectious vibes and catchy beat is years beyond his relative experience. Despite the uncertainty of what’s to come, you can bet that Baronhawk will be a name you’ll be hearing about for years to come. Take a moment to listen to his mix, read his interview, pick up his Honey release on Bandcamp, and send him a few bucks or more. This Sunday we’re excited to showcase the Washington, D.C community, in collaboration with Fault Radio, for our monthly Coast to Coast broadcast. Quality.

Those dates have been paired with releases on a who’s who’s of podcasts and an appearance representing D.C on Boiler Room. That energy has lead to headliner appearances at the leading queer underground parties in North America. Jacq Jill’s best known for bringing that same energy to the party.  Their energy on the decks is captivating. Their drive is to build community through the creation safe spaces. It’s impossible not to be pulled in. We’re excited to shine a light on Jacq Jill.
