Mike Gushansky hails from Los Angeles, CA. Sam Kern (aka Sassmouth) hails from Chicago, IL. Both are As You Like It resident DJs and after a particularly memorable back-to-back session earlier this year at the annual AYLI Picnic in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, they're something of a burgeoning DJ duo, to boot. This latest edition in the AYLI Podcast series is a recording of that session, mixed live in the great outdoors. Next up, catch Mike and Sam going back-to-back at As You Like It’s 7-year anniversary blowout Friday, Sept. 29 at The Midway in San Francisco. 

Taraval is the alias of one Ryan Smith, a Canadian musician who also happens to be a key member in a little band you may have heard of, called Caribou. Taraval makes his As You Like It debut next Saturday, July 22, supporting the one and only Motor City Drum Ensemble at 1015 Folsom. He put together a podcast showcasing some of his current favorite sounds, plus a couple unreleased Taraval joints.

As You Like It's next podcast comes courtesy of Experimental Housewife, the alias of the multitalented artist and performer Evelyn Malinowski. Malinowski currently resides in Santa Fe, NM, but will soon become a San Francisco resident, and has connections well beyond in Denver and Berlin, just to name a couple. As Experimental Housewife, Malinowski released her debut album, Place Writer, on Jacktone Records last year. Malinowski makes her debut for As You Like It this Friday, June 30, supporting Kassem Mosse and Mor Elian at Monarch.

We're excited and honored to announce our newest resident David Siska. Siska has performed for us over the years at warehouse parties, club nights and park picnics. His vast record collection and forever classy selections always have a time and place within our line-ups. We're excited to showcase him further into the future and introduce him to you today with an official podcast. Please take a moment and dig in. Quality.

This Saturday, May 20, Aaron Davis teams up with As You Like It to bring Acid Camp to San Francisco, hosting the Loft at Public Works with Marcellus Pittmann, Zernell, and a B2B from Davis himself and AYLI resident Mike Gushansky, while downstairs the Hessle Audio crew (Ben UFO, Pearson Sound, and Pangaea) go back-to-back-to-back all night long.

Russell E.L. Butler is one of the Bay Area's finest. On Friday, April 21, Butler will be warming up the As You Like It dance-floor, opening for Umfang and Berlin legend Marcel Dettmann as they take over Public Works for part of AYLI's nascent Unabridged series. The Bermuda-born, Oakland-based producer has spent the last several years building up an unassailably fine catalogue of raw electronic music: first as Black Jeans, a short-lived minimal synth project that refreshingly did not trade in nostalgia, and recently under his own name, under which he releases stripped-down techno that carries potent emotional weight. The world is taking notice — his first album appeared on cult U.K. label Opal Tapes, and three EPs followed shortly thereafter, with more on the way this year. He’s just returned to the Bay after touring his live set all over the States and Canada. 

The latest As You Like It podcast comes from Woo, one of SF's best selectors. Gregory is a resident of Outpost, WERD, and a contributing member of the AYLI family. He'll be playing in the Public Works loft for the opening Unabridged event alongside WERD's Jimmy B and Zoz with Tale of Us, Floorplan, and Mossmoss in the main room.

Aaron Clark is a key member of the Honcho and Humanaut crews, an excellent DJ, and one of the main reasons Hot Mass has become the force that it has. He will appear behind the decks this Saturday, Mar. 25, alongside Peggy Gou, Mike Gushansky, and Chvck, as As You Like It takes over San Francisco club Audio.

On February 24 at Monarch in San Francisco and March 10 at Grenadier Club in Detroit, As You Like It collaborates with rising Detroit party series TEXTURE for BLOOM, two events that showcase some of underground electronic music's rising stars (Dr. Rubinstein, Shady P) alongside established artists who skillfully tread the circumference of several genres at once (Galcher Lustwerk, Erika).

As You Like It's podcast series, and the interviews which coincide, are designed to celebrate the talent and artistry of the multifaceted American electronic music underground. This podcast is different: here, we honor and celebrate the memory and life of our beloved friend and family member, Johnny Igaz (aka Nackt), who was lost to us in the Oakland Ghost Ship fire on December 2.
