There are two things that separate every DJ in the EDM world: first is the music and second is the performance. A Super DJ is able to take over the club with authority, draw the kind of response that leads to nearly half a million Facebook fans, garner some of industry’s best artists to collaborate on his freshman album and has a global-known presence. Yep, we’re talking about Steve Aoki and the iconic DJ/producer unleashed a Wonderland mix-masterpiece upon a privileged audience this past Monday at the infamous XS Nightclub.
For all of those who ever been to a Steve Aoki show, it is no surprise that the Dim Mak’s head honcho was participating in bottle popping, crowd surfing/rafting and whatever on/off-stage antics he does (now cake-smashing too), it never ceases to get old. Just like with any other addictions and vices we all have, it just keeps us feigning for more and more.
XS Resident DJ got things shaking right away with a great opening set and got everyone warmed up for Aoki’s upcoming electrifying energy. The energy instilled in the crowd seemed unsustainable but everyone at XS was about to find out that Aoki was about to fuck shit up. As soon as Aoki took the decks, he started off strong with many of his Wonderland tracks that feature several big industry names such as Kid Cudi, Wynter Gordon, NERVO, LMFAO and Rivers Cuomo which got everyone pumped up for more. Of course, he even included tracks from his previous catalogue such as “Warp” and remix of Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness.”
Hours of calf crunching, fist pumping, sweat pouring dancing; Aoki doesn’t let you leave the dance floor and reminds all of us why he’s internationally known. Whether you’re a hardcore fan or were somehow accidently addicted to the charismatic DJ/producer, Aoki gave us a taste of what to expect for 2012 before he treks off on his Deadmeat Tour. World-class music talent, confetti, beautiful people, flashing lights, and an unforgettable night are just a few reasons why XS Nightclub continues to prove to us AND the world why it’s one the best clubs. Look for XS Nightclub to employ some of the biggest and best EDM acts in 2012!
