If there is anything we’ve learned from attending a Steve Aoki show, it’s that you never know exactly what’s going to go down. From cake being thrown in peoples’ faces to inflatable rafts gliding over crowd, these are just a few of the things the world has come to expect at a Steve Aoki show. And it’s been like that since the early beginnings of his career.
Steve Aoki first started DJing he was a student at the University of California in Santa Barbara under the moniker Kid Millionaire. Steve has never been known to do things the easy way. He began producing records and hosting concerts in his living room, calling the makeshift venue, the Pickle Patch. In 1996, now in his early 20s, Steve created the now world famous label Dim Mak Records. Dim Mak is the Chinese form of martial arts also known as the “Death Touch,” and 17 years later he’s still partying strong.
As a producer, Steve has created a series of popular underground mix albums and tracks that have scored him success on charts around the world as well as awards from BPM Magazine and Billboard. His work as a remixer spans from names like the Jackson 5, Lenny Kravitz, Kanye West, Eminem and Snoop Dogg. And with his knack for collaboration, he has worked with artists like Kid Cudi, will.i.am, Afrojack, and Armand Van Helden, just to name a few. We’re not sure what goodies he’ll bring for his performance at Sun City Music Festival, but what we do know is that the best way to see Steve is in person. So, have you bought your tickets yet?
