The Party Squad - Lighterman(Krafty Kuts Skank Remix) Aaron Popes philosophy is that music is all about drawing positive energy out of people, and thats what most people remember when they see him play - his infectious, positive energy. A longtime music fan and dance floor resident, Aaron brings this joy and love of music behind the decks with him, and at every gig he is constantly moving and interacting with the crowd. Although he made his start as a house DJ in some of San Franciscos largest clubs over a decade ago, Aarons musical range has continued to expand over the years. He is as likely to be found playing low-slung, dirty breaks at an underground, or bouncy mid-tempo in a lounge setting, as he is to be playing peak-hour, uplifting house on a large system. Most of his sets encompass a wide range of styles and influences as he refuses to be confined to any one, specific genre. In San Francisco, Aaron has played at almost every venue, for a wide range of promoters. He has appeared in New York, Miami and Chicago, as well as abroad in Brazil, the Caribbean and Ibiza, alongside a diverse array of headliners. A successful producer, Aaron released a series of singles on Release Records with his former production partner, Chad North. One of the most successful, The Grind topped out a number 8 on Beatports breaks chart. He is currently working on studio projects with several different production partners.
