AYLI Ground Level 019 – Aaron Davis

Aaron Davis, the visionary behind Acid Camp, tells the tale of an inspiring journey that spans from the streets of Brooklyn to the sunny vibes of Los Angeles. His adventure began in Brooklyn in 2008, where he landed on the scene by producing events for groups like Discovery and the Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival. In 2012, he brought his love of promoting events to LA, co-founding an all-vinyl radio show that serendipitously led to the creation of Acid Camp during a trip to Joshua Tree. In a short amount of time, Acid Camp quickly became a beloved staple of the underground scene, due to the collective energy of passionate friends and a community-driven spirit, as well as iconic merch and branding that added to the underground allure and helped build a dedicated following.

Despite the challenges of organizing underground events, Davis's unwavering passion for hosting parties and sharing music has always seen him through, and his dedication to music curation and collaboration with talented artists and engineers has been key to crafting the unique and joyful vibe of Acid Camp events. Ever one to keep it real, Davis sees himself as a raver with a passion for the music rather than a veteran DJ and promoter, and he continues to relish the journey of creating unforgettable experiences with friends and music lovers every event. Here he shares his story with us ahead of his latest mix for As You Like It, let's press play and dive in.
