June 29, 2009
…is the Dim Mak x 55DSL x Ferrino Survival Pack! So awesome, so great! Destroy bears with your swagger, make mountain lions jealous, and keep the mosquitos away! Keep an eye out because we will have these for sale on our website soon!
“Taking “camping out” to a new level, Dim Mak headman Steve Aoki conceptualized a special survival pack alongside 55DSL and tent designers Ferrino, for those Summer fest outings. The pack consists of a triple branded tent, limited edition Dim Mak compilation CD and a 55DSL x Dim Mak t-shirt. Definitely one of the more interesting collaborations for 2009 thus far.

MJ, not just the King of “Pop”
June 28, 2009
Musicians of every genre are expressing how Michael Jackson has influenced their music and affected their lives. We’ve gathered the initial reactions of his death a handful of artists. Some exclusive, some from Twitter. Across the board everyone is so shocked:
Mark Hoppus – Blink-182: first album i ever bought was thriller. with birthday money. on cassette. for my brand new sony walkman. truth. rest in peace.
Jarvis – Iglu and Hartly: “Michael Jackson has been an inspiration to music lovers everywhere. He transformed pop music forever and has inspired Iglu and Hartly. This is sad news for everyone I know.”
Jonny Prynce – Dirty Penny: “Fuck. This is like Elvis dying. I still watch the Dirty Diana video on YouTube like once a week. That shit is metal. He will be missed.”
Producer/Musician Cisco Adler: “Wow Michael Jackson is dead! Very sad day… I’m in the studio… we are dedicating this song to the king of pop!”
Katy Perry: “Oh my God.”
Lily Allen: “No fucking way”
DJ Steve Aoki: “This is bigger than any artist dying in our lifetime. Bigger than elvis and freddie mercury for me.”
DJ Aaron Axelson: “extra MJ and Jackson 5 selections on the decks tonight”

Steve Aoki’s Weekend Weapons
June 23, 2009
Steve Aoki leads the Los Angeles indie dance revolution like a pirate who has taken control of Hollywood’s nightlife. To his hipster fans, he is a Captain Jack Sparrow, a neo-hippy DJ who is dedicated to the cause, unafraid to sail to Ibiza or to play cave-like afterparties.
To his detractors, Steve Aoki is a celebrity-endorsed spinner (Lindsay Lohan loves him, model/actress Devon Aoki is his half sister) who has successfully commandeered the blog generation via polaroid snaps, hipster friends (he counts famous photographer Mark “The Cobrasnake” Hunter as his friend), corporate sponsorship, and a clothing line.
But beyond the hype, and the subsequent derision that dance music fans seem to bestow on any of their brothers whose head is above the parapet, Steve Aoki knows his music. His record label Dim Mak kick started the career of Bloc Party, and more recently helped the Klaxons, Scanners, and Mystery Jets find their feet.
Aoki’s Dim Mak Tuesdays parties at Cinespace and his Sunday party, Banana Split Sundaes, are two of LA’s most popular club events. Wherever he goes, people come and see him play. He is America’s answer to Erol Alkan.
Beatportal hoodwinked the mustache-touting king of LA dance to reveal his current three Weekend Weapons.
