Portland's Sappho, aka Megan Andricos, is no stranger to DJing. She isn't quite a household name — yet — but that won't remain the case for long. Her profile has risen steadily over the past several years, the result of her sharp, savvy DJ sets, focused on a "Cosmic and Electric" sound. Her podcast for As You Like It, recorded live at an afterparty in Portland, showcases her range. She'll be bringing this kind of range to Monarch on Saturday, Oct. 1, supporting live house-funk masters Session Victim.

Israel Vines' podcast for As You Like It begins with an undulating swirl of melodies that soon give way to a techno throb, building in intensity until it disappears into the whirlpool whence it came. Listen, and witness him in action September 10.

Johnny Igaz AKA Nackt is an integral member of the AYLI family. Alongside being an artist who sometimes performs at our parties, he can be found contributing in many ways to AYLI. We're excited to share with you an exclusive podcast in preparation for his upcoming booking alongside of Leon Vynehall and Jeno at Monarch.

We're excited to welcome back San Francisco artist Chelsea Faith AKA Cherushii to perform live in support of Objekt and Call Super, Friday, June 24, 2016 at The Midway. Faith's been on our radar for over a decade now, since her first introduction to Bay Area late-nite dance culture in 2000, to her evolution of an artist and performer in the mid-00s. In preparation for her AYLI return, we’re honored to release the recording from her debut AYLI night as an exclusive podcast.

Joel Conway will be making his AYLI return Thursday, May 19, in support of Axel Boman at Monarch. Please take a moment take dig into his exclusive podcast and interview in preparation for the big night. Quality.

We first discovered How to Kill Records and Marshall Applewhite through our friend Shady P just prior to their first release. It was a sound that caught our ear immediately and we've been looking for an opportunity to showcase “sludge.” The occasion finally arrives with Applewhite, The Friend, and Shady P joining us from Detroit for their West Coast debut, April 22, in the Public Works loft, alongside DJ Koze b2b Matthew Dear (all-night-long) downstairs.

For our next installment of the AYLI podcast, we’re honored to bring you Berlin based, British born, Tanstaafl Records label-head John Osborn. He made his North America debut for us in 2012 alongside 2562 at the BeatBox, followed that morning by a 6 AM session at the legendary 222 Hyde. It’s rare that we release second podcasts from artists and even rarer for us to release a podcast without an upcoming planned performance. However, when the opportunity came to release his second AYLI podcast, we jumped at it. Take a moment to dig into this special “after-hours” session. Quality.

We're excited to welcome back AYLI friend Jason Garden AKA Olin from Chicago for his second AYLI appearance. Olin first debuted alongside his Argot brethren The Black Madonna and Steve Mizek last year. We're honored and excited to welcome him back Friday to play alongside Kassem Mosse (live) at F-8.

To commemorate the 50th official AYLI podcast, we're excited to share with you what might be the most in demand recording from the last five plus years: The Black Madonna B2B Mike Servito at AYLI's Roots 01.23.2016. Their performance closed out the night for the last four plus hours, well past sunrise. The chemistry between the two was obvious from the first record. Relive the night with us and take a listen. Quality.

We're excited and honored to release an exclusive podcast and interview by AYLI friend Mike Servito in preparation for AYLI presents Roots w/ The Black Madonna B2B Mike Servito (Extended Set). Quality.
