Steve Aoki Announces First Ever Drive-In Concert
How much wiper fluid would it take to remove a splattered cake from a windshield? Barnstorming DJ, music producer, and cake-hurler Steve Aoki has announced his first-ever drive-in concert. Drive-in shows have become the new norm during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, so it’s no surprise that one of the most popular artists in dance music has thrown his hat into the vehicular rave ring. Aoki will be descending on the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Henry County, Georgia on November 13th, 2020, bringing dubstep don Riot Ten along for the metaphorical ride. While the show of course offers a one-of-a-kind concert experience, it also represents a good opportunity for target practice for Aoki, whose arm is probably rusty after so much time in quarantine. How far can he hurl a cake,...
Steve Aoki is Opening a Shop with Iconic Sports Memorabilia, Pokémon Cards, and Modern Art
Sports memorabilia is somewhat of a lost art, especially card collecting. The sports cards business was a billion-dollar industry in the 90s before it completely collapsed. Long gone are the days when you could go into a shop, pick out a mouthwatering sealed box of Topps cards and ravenously tear through it with your pals, hoping to pull a rookie card or a jersey swatch. Steve Aoki is now reviving the art with a retail shop called “Cards and Coffee.” The store on Hollywood Boulevard will buy and sell rare sports memorabilia, Pokémon cards, and modern art. Aoki’s newly minted enterprise, which he founded alongside Dan Fleyshman and DJ Skee, boasts a collection that the trio values at $2 million. Check out the announcement below. Among other rare items,...

Steve Aoki and KREAM Drop Stunning Visuals for House Single “L I E S”
Earlier this month Steve Aoki partnered with Norwegian brother and production duo KREAM to deliver the ultimate deep house single, “L I E S.” If nightclubs were still open, this would be the surefire tune on circulation, but instead, it is the perfect anthem to close out your summer with. The irresistible track has now received a stunning music video to accompany it, and it does not disappoint. Directed by Ask Sunde, the visuals are an artistic display of lyrics, lasers, and the smashed faces of the three artists. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Steve Aoki video if his famous cake wasn’t on display, and here they showcase it in an aesthetic white and green melting form, symbolizing how lies spread and take over. The production for this track is also top-notch, wit...
