Without hyperbole, it's safe to say that the San Francisco dance music ecosystem would simply not be what it is today if it weren’t for the mostly thankless work of Ryan Merry - now better known as Elexos Park, but formerly known as Ghosts On Tape. Landing back in San Francisco after a stint in Berlin had him refreshed and revitalized, with a new sound and direction to match. His new AYLI podcast shows off that new sound. Make sure to catch him this Saturday Oct. 13 at an undisclosed warehouse location in San Francisco, supporting DJ Seinfeld on his DJ-KiCKS tour.

We've released an exclusive podcast by one of AYLI's favorite people in the world, Jordee. Jordee is a partner for Mixed Forms and also co-runs Kosmetik weekly at The STUD in SF. Please take a moment and listen to their mix before joining us tonight. Quality, indeed.

Humphries' Club Zanzibar residency began in 1982, and more than 30 years later, he plays to audiences around the globe, on stages large and small. He's making his As You Like It debut this Saturday, August 25, for an all-night DJ set at Monarch. Enjoy his AYLI podcast, an excerpt of a live mix recorded in Perugia, Italy.

Nina Sol makes her As You Like It debut this Saturday, August 18, for an open-air day party (1 p.m.-9 p.m.) on The Midway's sun-kissed patio. She’s supporting Detroit's funky house maestro Kyle Hall and jazzy beat-maker Byron The Aquarius. Dive into her stellar mix below and catch her live behind the decks on Saturday.

Max Gardner, Oakland native, is a founding member of Direct To Earth and one of its mainstay DJs. He's been involved in Bay Area techno since DTE's inception, maintaining a regular presence in local clubs, both on the dance-floor and behind the decks. He's put together the latest installment of the As You Like It podcast series, a proper techno onslaught that just so happens to feature a slew of Gardner’s own unreleased productions. (His first 12" came earlier this year on Bay Area label Excise.) Give it a listen before Direct To Earth and As You Like It collaborate to host Mark Broom and Pangaea this Friday, August 10, at San Francisco club F8.

Throwing a party takes planning, work, and coordination, most of it happening behind the scenes. William Wardlaw is one of those folks working behind the scenes of As You Like It, responsible for making sure artists get where they need to be and are taken care of along the way. Naturally, he’s a great DJ, too. He put together the latest installment in the AYLI Podcast.

Patrick Lotilla, aka DJ Patrick, is a founding member of the Brouhaha crew, a cast of characters and DJs who have been throwing parties around the Bay Area with their five-year anniversary is coming in August. DJ Patrick's making his As You Like It return this Saturday, June 21, for a day party at The Midway featuring the one and only Omar S. 

Indy Nyles supplied the latest edition of the As You Like It podcast, a lush 90-minute live set that journeys through moods and sounds, all produced with two drum machines. He's making his live debut for AYLI this Friday, June 15, supporting Sandwell District don Function at Monarch in SF.

This latest installment of the As You Like It Podcast is a recording of Sepehr's live set, re-created in the studio based on a performance earlier this year at Monarch.

Make sure to catch his live set Friday, Mar. 9, when As You Like It and Parameter join forces to host Kassem Mosse and Tin Man live at Public Works in San Francisco.
