For the third installment of the @as-you-like-it & Fault Radio Coast to Coast residency, we’re excited to shine light on the new South -  Atlanta, GA.
Atlanta’s long impact on the America’s cultural pulse cannot be measured. The new South bridges traditional soulful house roots with the burgeoning underground queer community and the Midwest’s bumping house legacy. Here’s your opportunity to experience @ashlauryn, @kai-alce, @vickipowell, Stefan Ringer aka @rekchampa and @polyglamorous-club’ BEYA. San Francisco and Atlanta have long had a close relationship. Let’s keep that going. Atlanta brings the party.

Perhaps it’s a combination of his Haitian roots, his youth spent in St. Croix, and his New York City upbringing: It is evident when he steps behind the turntables or CDJs, where he is at once clearly comfortable and believe it or not, just a tad bit nervous. After more than 20 years in the business, yes, “The Kaizer” still gets butterflies. That’s probably what makes Kai Alce (pronounced al-SAY) such a force: He doesn’t settle down, blend in or go along. That integrity comes through in every gig he’s worked – from his early days at Detroit’s Music Institute when he was just teenager, to the 10-year-long DEEP legacy at MJQ that he co-founded, to the production company, NDATL, that he created in 2008. @kai-alce

BEYA is a San Francisco DJ and co-founder of the collective Polyglamorous. Their queer  events have been an incredible platform for artists, musicians, and performers making them a staple of the bay area community and beyond. Beya grew up on the rave scene in the late 90s early 2000s in New Orleans and thats reflected in his choice of tunes. He and Polyglamorous continue to keep the fabric of dance music and underground queer nightlife groving forward. @polyglamorous-club
