When we went to the place around 10 pm, we were welcomed by a nice party atmosphere, and cool lightning as well as visual effects from the stage, as Dj Dipha and Dj Mahesa Utara playing their house – electro – rock alternative mash ups songs. The crowd which mostly range of adolescent to young executive, couldn’t ask for more even random midweek dance party. As we have been expected before, Aoki has succeed burning the dance floor that night with his attractive skills of mixing songs, and hits such as “Wake Up Call”, ”No Beef”, “Earthquakey People”, “Warp 1.9″, even “Come With Me” a collaboration song with Rivers Cuomo, and of course the song everyone knew “Pursuit of Happiness” his collaboration with Kid Cudi, which also the soundtrack of Project X.

Apperently the show won’t stop until the Dj said so. Not enough twisting our body and heads, Aoki decided to do crazy stunt by doing free jump to the crowd from the stage, and after some songs, he LITERALLY “caked” the crowd by throwing a big sponge cake to the crowd, not once but couple times! As the time goes by and the crowd went wild, Aoki started to freshen up the crowd with champagne. Not long after playing his songs, which some of them were collaboration with Indonesian DJ Angger Dimas, Aoki ended the party with couple encores and tired happy faces from the crowd which we believed didn’t realised that they really have to go to campus or working in several hours! Again, Urbanite Asia has proven themselves to be one of the best party maker in Indonesia.

Steve Aoki will be returning to Jakarta this february after he last visit to our lovely town in 2010.

If you are still confused about him, well we have no idea why that stays in you but here’s about his musical career :

In May 2006, Aoki became a board member for MC5 bassist Michael Davis’ Music Is Revolution Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides music education support within public schools.
Aoki’s debut mix album, Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles was released in January 2008. He also had an Essential Mix that aired on BBC Radio 1 on August 2, 2008.

Aoki’s latest solo album, “Wonderland” was released January 2012 and features guest vocalists and musicians LMFAO, Kid Cudi, Travis Barker, will.i.am aka Zuper Blahq, Wynter Gordon, Rivers Cuomo, Lil Jon, Chiddy Bang, Lovefoxxx of CSS, Big John Duncan former guitarist of the punk band The Exploited, and others.

Aoki has also been busy in the studio collaborating with other fellow producer friends and thus far has released singles with The Bloody Beetroots, Armand Van Helden of Duck Sauce, Afrojack, Laidback Luke, Tai, Sidney Samson, Tiesto. In his interviews, Twitter feed or from his YouTube channel, he has shown teasers or has discussed doing future collaborations with Diplo, Knife Party, Datsik, Chris Lake, Rune, Iggy Azalea, Angger Dimas, and Dirtyphonics.
He has remixed many artists and bands, including Jackson 5, Drake, Kanye West, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Mike Posner, Girls Generation, All American Rejects, Refused, The Killers, Bassnectar, Lenny Kravitz, Bloc Party, Snoop Dogg, Robin Thicke, S.P.A., Kid Cudi, Fërnando Oviedo, Chester French and Peaches.

He remixed the track “When The Wind Blows” that features on the UK edition of The All-American Rejects’ 2008 album When The World Comes Down.

On November 10, 2009 he released a remix for Drake’s song “Forever“. The song features Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem. The track made it to the top of Hype Machine’s chart in December 2009.
Through relentless touring he gained huge support from colleges. Performing an average of 250 shows a year, he has recently started touring with production via bus tours like the spring 2012 Deadmeat Tour he headlined over 55 cities in 60 dates across the United States and Canada. Many of the artists Aoki collaborates with also make appearances on tour with him. He has also played lesser-travelled regions — in 2009 he played a show in Beijing, China with Diplo at a night organised by promoters Split Works.

In March 2010 Aoki released “I’m In The House“, a collaboration with Zuper Blahq—alter-ego of The Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am. The song charted at #29 in the UK Singles Chart in its first week of release.
Producer-songwriter Lucas Secon confirmed in a May 2010 interview with HitQuarters that he and Rivers Cuomo had recently worked with Aoki on a single.

That is one hell of a prologue! So, If you’re a fan of Steve Aoki, make sure you won’t miss his show in Jakarta! See you there and let’s get hammered by his tunes!
