Coming off a monumental 20th anniversary in 2016, Dim Mak entered 2017 re-energized and ready to take on the world. Aoki’s Dim Mak Collection fashion label arrived stateside and made its New York Fashion Week debut in January, shaking the industry with a punk-driven presentation. Heading into spring, Aoki remixed My Chemical Romance’s epic anthem “Welcome To The Black Parade” and brought the label to Wynwood’s RC Cola Plant for Dim Mak’s largest Miami Music Week event to date.
The summer saw debut EPs from QUIX (Heaps Cool) and Sam F (Electric Soul), while Aoki dropped his star-studded hip-hop album Kolony, featuring collaborations with Lil Uzi Vert, Migos, Ma$e and many more. Prince Fox linked up with Bella Thorne for “Just Call,” with a quirky music video that became the #7 Most Trending video on YouTube. Dim Mak also invaded European festivals with stages at Sziget and Tomorrowland. Around the same time, Dim Mak Publishing inked a global administration deal with Warner/Chappell Music, the publishing arm of Warner Music Group.
The year wrapped with a handful of club driven remixes from Aoki, including Garmiani’s “Shine Good,” Oliver Heldens’ “What The Funk,” and “Linkin Park& Steve Aoki - Darker Than The Light That Never Bleeds (Chester Forever Steve Aoki Remix),” his tribute to the late Chester Bennington. Aoki brought the Dim Mak Collection to ComplexCon, where he personally screen printed limited edition graphic tees (created in collaboration with notorious street artist David Choe) while chatting with convention curator Takashi Murakami. The 4th quarter also saw critically acclaimed debut works from Noise Cans (Masquerave EP) and KRANE (Fallout LP.) Closing out the year on a high note, Dim Mak’s premier live electronic act Keys N Krates were awarded a RIAA Gold certification for their trap anthem “Dum Dee Dum,” and the group followed this announcement with the release of their most musically sophisticated single to date, “Glitter (feat. Ambre).”
Stay tuned for the Dim Mak Greatest Hits 2017: Remixes package on the horizon, and keep your eyes peeled for more groundbreaking music as Dim Mak pushes the needle even further in 2018.
