I love giving special performances and making people guess who is going to come out because you never know who I’ve worked with in a studio on a song that might just actually show up. I’ll hit up all of my friends who are in town and we’ll see who comes out. “I’m so stoked to bring this to the Shrine. “You never know who is going to show up in L.A.,” Aoki teased. Right now, American youth culture is really about hip-hop and EDM and this is a reflection of what’s going on.”Īoki, who was born in Florida and raised in Newport Beach, will bring the Kolony North American Tour to his current hometown of Los Angeles with a stop at the Shrine Expo Hall on Friday, March 9. It wasn’t about the musical drops, but about great music and really representing American culture right now as a time stamp. We did it in different studios in Los Angeles and in Atlanta and I just realized all that I cared about was getting the magic out of people. Before I would just have hip-hop artists jump on EDM records, but with this, we took out the drops and we made music based on getting a vibe going and that turned into this collection of songs. “I was doing songs with these guys anyway and this ‘Kolony’ project happened because I found a unique way to sort of produce it. “I work with all kinds of artists from rock bands to K-pop artists to pop artists and hip-hop artists,” Aoki said. The record features collaborations with artists like Migos, Lil Yachty, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz and 2018 best new artist Grammy nominee, Lil Uzi Vert.

It’s Aoki’s forth album and his first full venture into the hip-hop genre. Now that he’s floated back down to the ground, he’s been out on tour in support of his latest album, “Kolony,” which dropped last summer. In early February, Aoki flew out to Frankfurt, Germany and was launched into the atmosphere via a A310 aircraft, which is used for astronaut training flights, along with a group of 20 partygoers to do a 90-minute DJ set in zero gravity.
I’ve talked to several astronauts, but I need to get a hold of (SpaceX founder) Elon Musk so I can get on a rocket with him. “I’d play one song, two songs or I’d play six hours, just get me up there. “I have been begging them to please, please let me be the first DJ to play at the space station,” he said during a recent phone interview. However, for his next record-breaking attempt, he wants to be the first person to ever DJ in outer space. He’s set several Guinness World Records for things like the most traveled musician in one year, the loudest and longest crowd cheer at a show and the most people simultaneously holding and lighting glow sticks at a show at one time.
The 40-year-old record producer, DJ and founder of independent record label Dim Mak, always does things to the extreme and his fans love him for it.
