About Steve Aoki:
Steve Aoki is a Grammy-nominated international producer/DJ, electronic dance music entrepreneur, and founder of the trendsetting record label, events/lifestyle company, and apparel line Dim Mak. Since launching in 1996, Dim Mak has broken bands such as Bloc Party, The Bloody Beetroots, Klaxons, and The Gossip through deftly marketed single and full-length releases and now has nearly 500 releases to date. As a solo artist, Aoki has become a force of nature averaging over 250 tour dates per year. In 2012, Aoki took his incredible career to the next level with his first proper full-length release Wonderland (Ultra Music/Dim Mak), followed by Wonderland Remixed, and his live concert DVD Deadmeat: Live at Roseland Ballroom, along with various singles, remixes and EPs, all of which brought together a lifetime’s worth of passion for bands, DJs, and artists of all stripes. Aoki also headlined the successful Deadmeat North American Tour in 2012, which boasted over 50 tour dates resulting in his being namedPollstar’s highest grossing dance act for the first half of the year and landing him a cover feature. Currently, Aoki is working on his follow-up album Neon Future, scheduled for release in 2014 via Ultra Music/Dim Mak, and is touring on his Aokify America North American Tour this fall featuring Borgore, Waka Flocka Flame, and special guest Pharrell Williams (on select dates). His most recent releases include: new single “Bring You To Life (Transcend)” with house producer Rune RK featuring vocalist RAS, out now on Dim Mak Records; the massive Linkin Park collaboration "A Light That Never Comes," out now on Machine Shop Recordings/Warner Bros. Records; “Boneless,” a collaboration with Chris Lake and Tujamo (Ultra Music), which hit #1 on Beatport; and several upcoming projects for Dim Mak and Ultra Music.
About Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike:
Sought after producers, remixers to the A-list elite, award winners, and #1 hit makers, the accolades Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have already clocked up are equal to those most artists amass in a lifetime. Touring internationally, they are one of the hottest tickets in dance music, gracing the biggest venues and festivals with their explosive brand of EDM. Official producers for Tomorrowland and now immortalized in the official Tomorrowland comic book, the pair continually set global charts and radio waves on fire with tracks like “Wakanda,” officially the most played out track of the 2013 Ultra Music Festivals, and Beatport #1 smashes “Mammoth”—which reigned at the top of the world's leading download store for an incredible four weeks and was the most heavily played track of Miami Music Week 2013—“Turn It Up,” “Madness,” “Project T,” “Phat Brahms,” “Ocarina,” and many more, clocking up no less than seven Beatport #1 hits in 2014. Releasing on Size, Dim Mak, Mixmash, Axtone, Musical Freedom, Spinnin’, and LE7ELS plus their own label Smash The House, scooping the hotly contested Breakthrough DJ award at the 2013 IDMAs in Miami, and rising a staggering 41 places to #38 in the 2012 DJ Mag Top 100, and then leaping a further 32 places to #6 in the 2013 edition of the poll, Dimitri & Mike are unquestionably one of the most in-demand acts on the planet.
About Autoerotique:
Autoerotique broke into 2009 and soon caught the attention of DJ/producer/label owner Steve Aoki. Shortly after signing with Dim Mak Records, Autoerotique made a stamp on the dance music world with the release of the first official single “Gladiator,” followed by remixes featuring the great DJ AM & Steve Aoki, Klever, and The Faint. Hit after hit, Autoerotique rose through the ranks and gained support from legends such as Tiësto, Benny Benassi, Laidback Luke, David Guetta, and many more. Along the way, Autoerotique has released remixes for said legends in addition to Skrillex, Diplo, Korn, Lykke Li, Shinichi Osawa, Chris Cornell & Timbaland, Fischerspooner, Weezer, and NERVO. Autoerotique’s debut EP Freak smashed the Beatport charts with the single “Turn Up The Volume.” With the release of the second EP EKG, Autoerotique continued to inspire DJs and music lovers alike with out-of-the-box sound design. Recent single “Asphyxiation”—which reached #1 on the Beatport Electronica Top Tracks—is Autoerotique’s masterpiece. The track and its masterful video counterpart, which has received over 2 million YouTube views to date, are meticulously executed in a way that should require a precautionary label. Everything they were and everything they are breathes in “Asphyxiation.” From the iconic rises of “Bubonic,” the rumbling bass of “Turn Up The Volume,” to the perfectly executed triplet mayhem of EKG, the musically inclined mind of Autoerotique is always persisting to captivate fans and perpetuate an increasing global presence.
