AC SLATER

Brooklyn used to be known for its brownstone houses and pizza, but these days AC Slater (a.k.a. Aaron Clevenger) is working hard at making sure the borough is a hotspot on the worldwide map of heavy bass. Raised on ’90s hip-hop and nourished by old skool rave, Slater has combined his influences and love of music to birth his own production style, which is currently breathing life into subwoofers worldwide.

Last year, Slater joined the Trouble & Bass family, as well as starting his own record label, Party Like Us. With a notorious musical family behind him, 10 years behind the decks, and an arsenal of original tracks and remixes, Slater is set to take on the world. He continues to display his excellent DJing skills from Europe to the UK, from Canada to Mexico, from Asia to Australia and everywhere in between, leaving pumping adrenaline and wobbly speakers behind him wherever he goes. His music is consistently played on the UK’s tastemaking BBC Radio 1 and Kiss 100, and his tracks have appeared in DJ sets from Crookers, Armand Van Helden, Jack Beats, Craze, Tommie Sunshine, Freestylers, MSTRKRFT, Sinden, Drop the Lime, and Stanton Warriors, to name a few. 

With AC’s first major EP, Jack Got Jacked (released in September 2008 on Palms Out Sounds), hitting the #1 bestseller position on Juno, Moby picking his remix of "Turn the Music Up" as one of the top 10 songs of the decade, and being named one of Beatport and XLR8R Magazine's "Artists to Watch" in 2009, the world is about to hear a lot more from AC Slater.
