Dim Mak Records Demo

Steve Aoki founded Dim Mak Records when he was 19, back in 1996. Right away he started to support an eclectic roster of artists. One of the success-stories is Bloc Party, which was found in 2003. After that they started giving out Bloc Party remixes and hosting Dim Mak label parties in LA. Remixing indie bands as well as i.e. Michael Jackson and eventually working on his own tunes, Steve Aoki has stepped into the limelight as a DJ, artist and a producer.

  • The Talent Pool is a platform invented by Spinnin' Records to solve the classic problem of sending your demo to a record label and ending in the huge pile of demos without any feedback. With 150+ demos sent to us on a daily basis, our A&R's (the guys that sign new artists and tracks) found that it was impossible to listen to all of them.

When asked about house music spreading across America, Steve answers that the game has really changed in terms of finding new music and sharing it with your fans and friends. You don’t rely on MTV or the radio for new music. People rather try their own personal methods to stay in touch with their favorites. Internet’s the access point and everybody knows how to best use it. Artists use it most of all to spread their music and get feedback and book gigs. They don’t have to be signed by major labels to make it in the business. Actually he points out that the social media has changed everything, no more big spending on advertising or paperback magazines. Steve emphesizes that it’s a great time for music, because artists compete in the space of music. Aoki, like any other superstar, is constantly using Twitter, Facebook and Google+ to interact with his fanbase.

'Producing music is a constant learning and unlearning process.' - Steve Aoki



This year, Aoki has collaborated with Laidback Luke on Turbulence, Afrojack on No Beef, Knife Party on Piledriver and Tiesto on Tornado. He says, that producing music is a constant learning and unlearning process. Working on his latest release ’Wonderland’, he got to work with different singers, vocalists and producers and that was something he charised and loved. And the people he works with are his biggest influences and inspiration.

Time's have been for Steve Aoki. He’s put out a album and got to be a part of major collaborations with many artists. Every song for the album is getting a video, if it hasn’t got it already. Steve just released a remix EP for Emergency ft. Lil Jon & Chiddy Bang featuring remixes by Laidback Luke, Clockwork, Villains, Terravita, & DJ Green Lantern. And he’ll be looking to launch Steve Aoki’s Charitable Fund on his forthcoming birthday bash. Exciting stuff going on around Steve, as it’s become tradition.
