Happening in San Francisco at Public Works tonight. I don’t think we need to tell you this one’s unmissable, but just in case you needed the reminder, tickets are still on sale.
![Events to Love: As You Like It One-Year Anniversary
This is a pretty big week for (our favorite!) San Francisco’s As You Like It, having launched a brand new podcast this Tuesday, and celebrating their successful first year with an extra-special event happening this Saturday.
Following his performance at [KONTROL] last June, Guillaume and The Coutou Dumonts left quite the impression on fans of house music in this city by the bay, so it’s very exciting to see him at the top of this bill. Weaving seamlessly from soul to disco to Chicago house and even into Afrobeat, he brings an unheard-of musical depth to his sets—something for discerning listeners and dancers alike. In addition to Guillaume, the event will also feature performances from SF favorite Dave Aju, a live set from Dumb Unit recent addition, Walker Barnard, and of course, the AYLI residents—who always bring it hard. You can purchase tickets here (going quickly!—ed), and if you need some convincing to do so, definitely give the below mixes from Guillaume and Walker a listen. Finally, for more about AYLI and what’s coming next for them, check out this great article at Ibiza Voice.

Events to Love: As You Like it Presents Peter Van Hoesen
Another month, another brilliant event from the folks with As You Like It. This time around, the featured guest is Time to Express label boss Peter Van Hosen, with an extended set not intended for the faint of heart. Now, we could go ahead and regale you with flowery details about just how unmissable this show really is going to be, but it’s probably just better to deliver some proof. Check out his below set from Berghain back in February. It’s a four-hour monster of top-down awesome you’re gonna want to just download and take with you—‘cause it’s pretty much half a road trip, right there. Meanwhile, expect top-notch performances from SF locals Jason Kendig, Mossmoss, and David Siska. To find out more about this event and to purchase tickets, go here.
Events to Love: Fixup - Comma ‘Colortronics’ Release Party
This Thursday in San Francisco is officially going to be poppin’, so you may as well just plan on calling in sick on Friday, especially if you’re a bass head. 222 Hyde is hosting the final edition of Fixup, which will also be a very special release party for Comma’s Colortronics EP. (And if you haven’t already grabbed this one, you really should—you can even get a copy on a purple cassette tape!) Featuring support from DJG (Surefire), Epcot (Frite Nite), Fixup’s own Psych Tyson, and a special guest (we have our theories), this night looks set to own. Purchase tickets here—this space has very limited capacity.
And as an aside, if you were also looking forward to seeing Luke Vibert at Public Works that same night, the news looks not so good. Unfortunately his visa was delayed, and the event has been postponed. If you purchased a ticket, expect to see a refund shortly.
Events to Love: Love Underground
Every scene has its diamond-in-the-rough DJs; the ones who are always a resident somewhere, consistently bringing new sounds to the fore, playing at skill levels rarely seen even on the international level, and who maintain their home-base following simply by performing from the heart. This event is all about hearing sets from San Francisco and Santa Cruz’s very finest of that ilk.
Featuring veteran performers Mozaic and Ivan Ruiz, and with support from Dirty Dirty Techno and the elusive Rob Monroy (Love series events), Love Underground looks to be chock full of sonic treats for fans of chilled-out house and banging techno. Lovers of dancing, this one goes until you can’t take it anymore; midnight-the bitter end. And in true underground fashion, the details on this one are sparse at best, but if you’d like to know more, contact us for further info.
Finally if that still doesn’t sound enticing enough, check out the listening homework for you below. We promise it makes a pretty convincing argument, and hope to see you on the dancefloor!

Events to Love: As You Like It & Public Works Present - Quality
As San Francisco slowly inches its way onto the global radar, talents the world over are beginning to make their trek to the City by the Bay, to see what all the fuss is about. The result? Events with lineups so jealousy-inducing even Berliners might very well be biting their fists at this one, happening this coming Friday, May 20. The folks with As You Like It are teaming up with Public Works for Quality, featuring Scuba vs. SCB (Hotflush), Martyn (3024), and Deniz Kurtel (Crosstown Rebels). If you’ve been following this blog for any amount of time, you know that’s plenty enough to scream about, with little introduction. However, in case you’re new, here’s a bit of listening homework.

Going to Communikey
Today I’m leaving to go to Boulder, CO for the Communikey Festival. Am I excited? Very much so.
I’ve the very good fortune to be traveling with my friends Antacid, who will be performing live at Saturday night’s event, All Night Long, along with Spacetime Continuum with Cheap and Deep, Levon Vincent, and John Templeton.
Meanwhile, the rest of the festival lineup looks equally excellent, and the program guide is well worth a perusal if you live in the Boulder area and are interested in sound design workshops, interesting films, beautiful interactive art, and fun electronic music.
