About

AC Slater doesn't just drop beats; he detonates them. This Brooklyn-based DJ and producer, born Aaron Clevenger, has carved out a singular niche in the electronic music landscape, fusing the raw energy of UK garage and grime with the pounding force of house music. He's the architect of "Night Bass," a sound and a label that have become synonymous with a distinctively American take on these traditionally British genres. Slater's journey began in the early 2000s, quickly evolving from warehouse parties to headlining sets at festivals worldwide. His breakthrough arrived with the solidification of the Night Bass sound, characterized by its aggressive basslines, infectious vocal samples, and a relentless dancefloor drive. Think Disclosure meets Skrillex in a smoky back alley – that’s the general vibe. Beyond the music, AC Slater’s cultural impact lies in his championing of new talent. Night Bass Records acts as a breeding ground for the next generation of bass music innovators, providing a platform for artists who are pushing the boundaries of the genre. Collaborations with the likes of Chris Lorenzo, Taiki Nulight, and Flava D further solidify his position as a central figure in the global bass scene. Currently, AC Slater continues to tour extensively, spreading the gospel of Night Bass. Recent releases consistently top Beatport charts, proving his enduring relevance in a constantly evolving electronic music landscape. He's not just riding the wave; he's creating it.
