As You Like It
The Bay Area’s contributions to underground dance music run deep, shaped by psychedelic rave culture, radical funk, and electronic experimentation influenced by global movements. Since 2010, As You Like It (AYLI) has carried this legacy forward through more than 15 years of events centered on quality, intimacy, and inclusivity.
Drawing inspiration from Detroit and Chicago to New York, Paris, London, Tokyo, and Berlin, As You Like It events champion timeless sounds and diverse voices across an ever-evolving techno landscape. From Golden Gate Park picnics to Oakland warehouse gatherings and all-night affairs, AYLI remains committed to cultivating meaningful dance floor experiences rooted in respect and connection.
As You Like It is dedicated to preserving underground culture while creating spaces where everyone feels safe, valued, and celebrated. The organization believes the dance floor is a place to connect, belong, and thrive—free from racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, ageism, sexism, misogyny, or harm of any kind.
