Lovefoxx from CSS sent me this funny photo after i dropped her off at the airport. Had to share it.

I'm gonna bring it way back since i've been a little behind but its a photo blog so it goes by quick. Two tuesdays at Cinespace we brought Uffie from France out to Los Angeles for the second time.

I love this girl to death. She is doing something really fucking exciting right now and LA needs this girl cuz we are lacking serious talent out here in exception to a few artists that are pulling their weight.


J Davey also rocked the house.


Taz from Sa Ra came out to support.

As did Adrian Martinez/Puma who also presented this party.

Them Jeans laid it down nicely with his dope shirt that only fits him.

My partner Blake Miller in Weird Science wrangling me out of a set to tell me the PEACHES REMIX we just finished has been approved by the label and will be the major single in the UK/Europe/America. Yeahhh .. check out the remix by going to our myspace page - Myspace.com/weirdscienceproduction.

Uffie, Feadz, myself and a couple buddies came back to the Dim Mak hq for a little drunky time before they fly out to Vancouver. It's all a blur here.

Uffie rockin the new Dim Mak Collection dino hoodie

5 minutes before I passed ou Aviron got in a few photos.

Dora rockin the new Cobrasnake Tee Get it before they are gone!!

A few hours into my nap, Jacob woke me up and took me to the airport so i can get myself to Marquee in New York. I was there a total of 12 hours. DJed til 4am then took a cab straight to the airport so i can get back to Los Angeles to play my first ever poker tournament. I've got the bug now and I've lost some serious dough on the few cash games i've played but now its time to really dig in to some tournament poker. Click Ultimatebet.com Celebrity Poker Tournament for more pics from the night.
There's nothing like pushing in 10,000 dollars in chips and winning. It's easier when it's not real money.

Chad Muska held it down at our private spot we dj at while I went to chill with one of my favorite bands right now Oh No Oh My. Keep on the lookout for this Nashville group. They are incredible.

Another early flight Friday morning 25th of August this time I went to Miami, Florida to dj at REVOLVER with a live performance by The Walkmen at Studio A.

Flew back bright and early, goin on maybe 4 hours of sleep in the last couple days, somehow make it back to LA to dj at my saturday party with Benji and Joel Madden HOT LAVA at LAX.
Keith Le Disko representing.

I slept all last Sunday for another kerrrraazzzy week in Las Vegas for Magic/Pool Tradeshows and parties. i got into Veg Ass on Monday and head over to Tao to dj the official Magic party with Moby and Crystal Method. The crowd was mature but i got their old asses movin anyways and Moby, well thats a different story. I'm definitely not a fan of corny baldheaded dudes but i guess if you are over 35 you love him or something. YOu can see his ravemania here.

Then i gambled and came up... yeahhhh.
Day 2 of Magic - Tuesday August 29th - I met up with the Dim Mak Collection team. We were showing in Magic and Pool Trade Shows. Introducing Russ Lee who is my right hand guy that makes sure we are on schedule and all our shit is organized.

Luke Mulderink from the Dim Mak Records side coming to man the Magic Booth

Dim Mak Model 2 - Star who handled Magic and we are in a fight but i still love her.

Apple Ron Pozznansky taking photos for The Cobrasnake and juss being fucking awesome.

Last Week Recap.... Let's just start at Cinespace Tuesdays - we had The Sounds come out and dj one of their dance party sets.

Le Rev played their best show yet.

Hello Fever reminded me of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks

Wildcat Will from Whitey all the way from UK djed his party set (Look
Kelly Osborne closed out the night with her party set.

with help from Charlotte from The Like

Club Cory helped out too.

TOo much good shit in one night but we all survived. I took the first flight out of LAX to NYC with Cobrasnake. I met up with A Trak and we did a lil photo shoot with Cobrasnake for Gravis.

Ran around the city and ended up at Stereo for the Misshapes/BPM 10 Year ANniversary NYC party. Hung with DJ Vice for a minute.

Oxy Cottontail djed her Bmore set.

Junior Sanchez did his thing. Josh Madden Mishapes, Jacksonn did their thing.

A Trak and I did a lil diddy together.

day off thursday. then Friday back again to dj at Stereo, this time for the Amsterjam Festival Pre party Junior Sanchez, Jus Ske, and I did our sets at the Amsterjam Festival the next day. I missed Rhymefest and Q-Tip but i did catch Busta Rhymes getting arrested right from the stage. LL Cool J and Tom Petty were alright.
Then i left and ended up at The Misshapes party at Don Hill's and rubbed one out there.

Greg K did his thing. I never knew the snap my picture song was such a big hit to underage hipsters.

and they danced a lot.

i'm glad kids can get at the dim mak collection - go to WORK IN PROGRESS to get our line in NYC!!!

I came back to LA somehow in one piece and actually made it out to the Gorilla Biscuits show at Chain Reaction. This was my favorite band when i was in highschool. Best straight edge hardcore band of all time. I even have it stamped on my back.

I caught Walter Shriefels guitarist of GB, who later went on to Quicksand to Rival Schools to Walking Concert play an acoustic set of his greats and some covers - Break Down the Walls to Beyond. Pretty sweet.

While i was in NYC, Dim Mak and Feel My Heat presented myspace.com/nicovega at the Troubadour and it went off. I love that band. In a city with a ton of shitty bands, there's always a few that really make me happy to live in LA. We'll keep you posted on their future records coming out in 2007.

AviRon represented at Hot Lava at LAX last saturday and snapped a few photos of Gods Girls.

My new favorite band, Cansei De Ser Sexy came by the Dim Mak offices and talked about their new video they are doing for their next single. Ana from CSS is rocking one of the Dim Mak Collection Dino Hoodies that we are showing at Magic.

We went to Puma for a few said what up got the new Luda's.

If you haven't heard CSS yet you need to. Check out their myspace page myspace.com/canseidesersexy" Aviron and I dropped them off at the airport so they can start their long jaunt across the world for the next few months but they will be back with Ladytron in October.

Last night was double duty. Uffie and Feadz came in town and Marvin Jarrett and i took em around town. Then i went to go dj the GQ Magazine party with LUpe Fiasco at the same place where B.I.G. was killed. Had to pour some out for my favorite rapper of all time.

Then Matt and i raced over to Cinespace to catch J Davey I djed some. Them Jeans did his thing. Uffie came on and the place was going fucking offffff. Pics up soon.


THis week and next week coming....
Now I'm on a plane heading to NYC to dj at Marquee tonight. I come back Thursday to play my first ever poker tournament. I'm pretty excited except that I've lost pretty much every game that I've played so far when I'm not in Vegas. So this is pretty fucking exciting for me. Then another one of my favorite new bands OH NO OH MY are playing at Spaceland and I'm definitely racing over there to check them out. They are from Nashville, they remind me of the Spinto Band another one of my favorites and they are playing tomorrow. After their show i go back to the private party i dj on thursdays whenever im in town with partner Chad Muska. Friday I head to LAX again to head out to Josh Menendez' party Revolver at Studio A in Miami. Another BPM collabo. with the best indie party in Miami. I'll be djing there with The Walkmen. Then I head back to LA to dj at Hot Lava at LAX. A days rest ready for my favorite time in Las Vegas - MAGIC TRADE SHOW!!!! DIM MAK COLLECTION has a booth at MAGIC's CAMPGROUNDS and a booth at POOL TRADE SHOW. We got some new sweater designs and 12 more t-shirt designs we are showing. I'm pretty fucking psyched on the 2nd collection. If you are in Vegas and you are going to Magic or Pool please come check out our booths. Next Monday I'll be djing Magic's opening party event at TAO. Tuesday I'll be djing with Tommie Sunshine and She Wants Revenge will be performing at JET. Wednesday I'm djing the Triple Five Soul BPM party at TRYST. And in the day time between 2-4pm Im spinning at Pool Trade Show at Mandalay Bay. It's going to be a busy time in Vegas but it's all worth it to rep the new season's collection we have from DMC. We'll post it up online soon.

Until Next week

Last week was a horrible time to fly.

somehow i got home in one piece and flew out to kansas city, missouri to dj at harrah's casino's new club voodoo. as i was walking in i saw their schedule of talent performing and i thought it was hilarious that i was playing days after a psychic and george thorogood.

------- July 21 - August 1rst wrap up

Last weekend was Comicon and I djed a party at BELO to promote the new Bruce Lee vinyl figure that DIm Mak presented. Like I've said millions before, especially if you know me, I'm a huge Bruce Lee fan which is where the name Dim Mak derived from. So it was a great collaboration to do something with Eight Eight (the company that does this particular Bruce Lee "Game of Death" toy among others.) I had a meeting with Tim Tsui who is my absolute favorite figure artist and he is going to be designing all the Dim Mak limited edition dinosaurs we have coming out in 2007. This is one of his creations. IF you haven't noticed our newest Dim Mak hoodies, we are big dinosaur buffs. From San Diego, I went straight to the Hamptons to dj at Pink Elephant for the WE SC FASHION SHOW. Yes, I was part of the street horsing team for WESC back in the day and yes I am OLLEYING over a car. Who knew it would become such a big deal now. Now you see a random kid streethorsing through LA olleying over 15 stairs! After djing to a bunch of underage models & their rich boyfriends, I flew back to LA to dj Gnarls Barkley's Afterparty at the Avalon. Check out this old pic of Dangermouse rockin' one of our classic Dim Mak tees... BIg fan of Dangermouse and Gnarls... selling over 40,000 a week... I can't wait to see a platinum record hanging around their necks. The next day I went to dj at Tao at the Venetian for Bodog Poker (click on Bodog to view Wireimage.com fotos).
The real ACTION was happening at CINESPACE TUESDAYS last week! Lola Ray performed.

Everyone went nutss and came out for Young Love

Gino, Club COry, and Little Star were running around

Two days ago i came back to lala land to dj a Check It Out Magazine launch party and then later at our saturday residency HOT LAVA at LAX. Now onto this week.

Make sure to ask one of the Dim Mak people about this if you hate having to go home at 2am. Wednesday coming, I fly out to MIAMI! Cobrasnake meets me out there to shoot the Trafik Jam Party for Trafik Trade Show where Dim Mak Collection is now showing our fall 2007 gear... hoooodiessss and shirts!! Yessiirrrr...

XO Steve Aoki



----- JULY 15th JULY 21st wrap up
The week seems to go by faster and faster. There's always something kerrazzzy happening. If i did drugs id be in baaad shape. luckily im just a cheap date. Two drinks maybe one more and im GOOOOOD. Ok Scanners survived Los Angeles and San Francisco - they did Cinespace Tuesdays then Moscow on Wednesday then Pop Scene on Friday then three photo shoots for Swindle, Dim Mak Collection, & Check it Out Magazine then played three gigs on Monday. We officially signed them on Dim Mak and we are all very excited.
First with a sold out show with another Dim Mak artist THE RAKES

an acoustic set at Danny Masterson and Brent Bolthouse's "FEEL MY HEAT" on Indie 103.1
then later for the The Rakes Afterparty at Starshoes w/ DJ Kid Jeans - Danny Masterson and myself.


and we all ended up at the Dim mak/Cobrasnake HQ for a night cap before The Rakes & Scanners had to fly back to London.
Jamie from the Rakes

Alan from The Rakes

Sarah from Scanners & Lasser from The Rakes

After bidding farewell to our UK buddies, we started planning for Mr. Cobrasnake's B-Day party at Cinespace on our tuesday party...

We had Kissing Tigers & The Shys play in the back room

Mickey Avalon stood on the DJ booth and rocked out some "Jane Fonda"

THe kids were doing dannce bombs on the floor

Mark blew out his 18 candles that CLub Cory decorated

Then we ate cake.

I got drunk.

Them Jeans got drunk.

From here on out I'm not sure what happened but this is what i found out...
I sold my shirt off my back. lucklly club cory was there to make sure i didnt sell off anything else.

i fell asleep somewhere not in my bed.

then got a ride home. good thing i didnt drive...

thats what Cinespace tuesdays is like all summmer...... I djed at Wildcat in Santa barbara to a packed out party last night but nothing compares to lalaland.

ON TO THIS KEERRAAAZZZZED OUT WEEEEK!!! SAN DIEGO/COMICON TO HAMPTONS/WESC TO LOS ANGELES/GNARLS BARKLEY AFTERPARTY TO LAS VEGAS/TAO TO NEW YORK CITY/MARQUEE TO CHICAGO/DARKWAVE DISCO AND BACK TO LA/LAX HOTLAVA AGAIN!!!! FREQUENT FLYER MILES!!

So Comicon is happening down in San Diego and I'll be djing a party at Belo down there to support the new release of Level 5's new vinyl figure of none other than BRUCE LEE in Game of Death. Dim Mak has now since collaborated with Level 5 and they asked us to present their newest vinyl figure to the world. It makes perfect sense for us, after all, I decided on the name Dim Mak 10 years ago based on my obsession with Bruce Lee. It's a perfect fit. The new Bruce Lee vinyl figure will come with a Dim Mak Records sampler and our imprint inside the nunchuckus booklet. All hail Bruce Lee...
I fly out the next day to dj for buddies WE SC for their fashion show in the Hamptons. Then back to LA on Monday for super star buddies GNARLS BARKLEY's official afterparty at a private event.

July 1rst - July 10th wrap up


I never have fun on July 4rth... It's just one of those holidays that usually blow. but fuck man spending the entire day on a beach djing and partying is brought to a different level. Was kinda surreal but hey, if you are on a beach, fucking live it up right? Lindsay Lohan and I djed for a couple hours.

Old pal Jeremy Scott & Kelly Cutrone were there to party.

Of course the obligatory fireworks

And a few papparazzi (courtesy of wireimage - click on photo to view more...)

And Club Corey's been grounded all summer

After the last hurrah of fireworks, Cobrasnake and I fled Preppibu back to Cinespace Tuesdays... We made special presents for everyone for our 4rth of July wacky American holiday - neck shot glasses!!! OOhh.....

We have some left at the office ... email a funny story about 4rth of July and we might send you one juss to wave the flag one more time. More photos from Cinespace below....
