Indeed Klin :p

Knowing him its entirely because of our 3rd kits "flashy" zebra design.
100%

A few months ago he came as a guest for Isle of MTV here and while he was playing at an after-party, he decided to do his usual trademark of throwing cakes to the crowd. After the first 4 or 5 cakes he threw, one got really angry that he threw the left overs back at him and in process ruined his $3000 DJ set. :lol:

This guy's a legend now of course. :D

Legend :D

He had similar reception in one show in a festival here in Sweden, friend who was there was like wtf pissed afterwards, said there is a point where an "artist" goes past just showing my personality phase to something else, this bozo is just hitting play button and running around like a retarded kid to the audience seemingly begging for attention for anything but his "music.


Found this hilarious review of him that echoes that :lol:

DJ in a dinghy bludgeons the audience into submission (1/5 stars)

The dance music world is plagued by a second wave of superstar DJs and producers and Steve Aoki is firmly in the vanguard. A cast-iron draw in the US, last year this indefatigable figure played close to 250 arena shows that netted him in excess of £15m.

Aoki has achieved this rarefied status by becoming a poster boy for EDM, the subtlety-free strain of blitzkrieg techno marked by colon-rearranging bass and shrill, brutally effective stabs of rave synths. Pitched at a level of relentless faux-delirium, this post-midnight show doesn’t so much seduce its audience as bludgeon it into submission.

Aoki’s brittle, cartoon trance is the club-music equivalent of a Michael Bay Hollywood blockbuster, all lowest-common-denominator action sequences and controlled explosions. And if you ever wondered what Smells Like Teen Spirit,Wonderwall or Bohemian Rhapsody would sound like with thumping house beats ladled over them, Aoki is your man.

Aoki’s kindred spirit Deadmau5 recently admitted that he does little at his live shows except to press play, and while Aoki sporadically twiddles a few knobs, he certainly has plenty of time to indulge his voluminous repertoire of bone-headed gimmicks. These progress from striking a crucifixion pose atop the DJ deck to hurling cake into the willing faces of the front row to bouncing across the crowd’s heads in a rubber dinghy.

Like any irredeemably superficial artist, Aoki craves gravitas and credibility, and has earnestly vowed that his next studio album will be a more profound, deep-house affair. At 2am, watching him crowd-surf topless across a cake-bespattered moshpit, it is somehow difficult to believe.
