Just Announced: Dim Mak Miami 2020 Featuring Steve Aoki

Continuing their decade-long tradition of Miami Music Week events, Steve Aoki & Dim Mak are headed back to Magic City this year to present another springtime affair. Following three years of all night long Wynwood/ Arts District dance parties, the label is making a triumphant return to the white sands of South Beach for an eleven hour pool party, kicking off at noon. Join us at Dim Mak Miami 2020 on Thursday, March 19th as we take over the Nautilus Pool. Headlined by Aoki himself, the 21+ event will feature some of the label's most exciting current acts, as well as beloved extended friends and family.
 
This year’s event is set to be extra special, as it is the official Miami stop on Aoki’s North American Neon Future IV: The Color Of Noise Tour, a reference to both his upcoming album as well as his critically acclaimed memoir that was released via St. Martin’s Press last year. Additionally, look out for unexpected surprises throughout the day-into-night event, as Aoki has previously brought several eye popping special guests to his Dim Mak Miami soiree over the years, including the likes of DJ Diesel (aka Shaq), The Chainsmokers, Yellow Claw, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Don Diablo, Kayzo, Slushii, Deorro, Cheat Codes, Rich the Kid, Carnage, Afrojack, Waka Flocka Flame, Dada Life, Lil Jon, Desiigner, Borgore, Getter and Laidback Luke...and this year looks to be no different.
 
Stay tuned for the full Dim Mak 2020 line-up reveal...

Sarah Charness-Cryorhythmic

New York-based popular electric violinist Sarah Charness released the Vivaldi inspired Cryorhythmic - an EDM/Crossover track with 240K views on YouTube in its first month. Produced by Sarah, the project is already receiving positive feedback. Her six string violin is driving the melodic lead, while the song borrows themes from the composer's “Winter” and bridges Sarah’s classical roots with her more widely recognized electronic sound. OnePhotography is the team responsible for the creative video-where we see modern ballet dancers and Sarah bringing the Cryorhythmic vibe not only as a sound but also visually.

Sarah Charness creates a singular blend of music that straddles the worlds of classical, pop and electronic dance music. Her vibrant, physically thrilling live performances continuously captivate audiences as she performs on her signature hot-pink six-string violin. In 2015, Charness released her first track with Disco Killerz, “We Came to Party” which reached #48 on the Beatport “Hot 100 Electro House” chart. In 2017, Charness and Disco Killerz released Running For Our Lives featuring Kat Nestel, followed by Beautiful Life, featuring Canadian pop sensation Delaney Jane.

As a soloist, Charness has toured North America with the American progressive-rock band, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. In 2015, she headlined at the Summer Experience Music Festival in Capetown, SouthAfrica, and has appeared as the feature performer during the New York Knicks halftime show at New YorkCity’s Madison Square Garden, The Chicago Bull’s halftime show at the United Airlines Arena, as well as on the runway during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Charness has appeared on “The TodayShow” (NBC-TV), “NY-1” (Time Warner Cable) and on “NBC Nightly News” (NBC-TV). Sarah has also performed at Radio City Music Hall® and Carnegie Hall in New York City, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C., The Chicago Theatre in Chicago, Massey Hall in Toronto, and the Prague Opera House in the Czech Republic.

Steve Aoki Enlists Rock Icon Sting and Breakout Trio SHAED for Latest Track "2 in a Million"

Today, two-time Grammy-nominated DJ/Producer Steve Aoki, 17-time Grammy Award winning musician Sting, and platinum-selling trio SHAED (known for their hit single “Trampoline”), team up to release their new collaborative anthem for soulmates everywhere—an offering from Aoki’s upcoming Neon Future IV—“2 in a Million.”

The track begins with Sting as his soothing, unmistakable vocals captivate over Aoki’s slow but steady build, a signature of his pop ballads. The beat then drops introducing the pure vocals of SHAED’s lead Chelsea Lee as she joins pre-chorus with Sting to harmonize “How many people in the world are looking for a love like this tonight/ How many people in LA out there are searching for a sign/ How many people in the crowd and I still wander by your side,” grappling with the search of finding one's soulmate through all of life’s complexity.

The music video mirrors the sentiment of the song and its natural progression of the quest for a soulmate, opening with Sting on an empty stage in the spotlight alone. Thereafter two contemporary dancers join him on stage in a portrayal relaying how the two are ‘meant to be’. Next, we find SHAED in the mezzanine of the same theatre, while the video continues to intertwine all three acts - Steve, SHAED, and Sting in separate places within the theatre, up until we find them together on the rooftop overlooking the cityscape.

“I am beyond excited about this collaboration with Sting and SHAED,” said Aoki. “SHAED is a group of incredible talent and Sting is just a legend. I’ve been a fan of his for as long as I can remember, so it’s surreal to have him on one of my songs. What they both brought to the table made for an incredible track, so ready for the world to hear it."

Sting added, “To me, the greatest element in music is surprise so I’m always open to collaborate with other artists as you never quite know where it’s going to take you. This sounded like an interesting opportunity and I’m excited for people to hear the new track.”

“We all grew up listening to Sting and The Police,” tacked on SHAED. “He was a huge influence on all of us so when Steve approached us with the collab it was a no brainer. We had the best time working with Steve and Sting and really love this track.”

Super Producers Steve Aoki and Alan Walker Drop Reimagined Collab “Are You Lonely”

Click Here to Download/Stream/Purchase “Are You Lonely”

Today, two-time Grammy nominated DJ and ProducerSteve Aoki and multi-platinum Norwegian DJ and Producer Alan Walker team up to drop re-envisioned track, “Are You Lonely” featuring ISÀK. The instrumental and lyrical melody are based on the original “Lonely” release that came out at the end of last year on Alan Walker’s album, now reimagined with new lyrics, arrangement and performance.

Aoki and Walker have collaborated previously, remixing each other's tracks including Walker’s remix of “All Night ”by Steve Aoki featuring Lauren Jauregui of Fifth Harmony, Steve’s remix of Alan Walker’s“ All Falls Down, ”and“Lonely/Are You Lonely.”

The track features Aoki and Walker’s signature sounds. Aoki’s skillful production and use of electronic sound compliment Walker’s profound and emotional musicality, featuring a deep bass & drum line punching beneath ISÀK’s distorted vocals that are begging to know “Are you lonely?” Speaking to Aoki and Walker’s use of non-earthly aesthetic, the song gives off a robotic deep house sound with the use of dark ambient keys and melodic builds.

The hook cries out "are you lonely? I’ll stand by you," dressed with suspenseful diminished chords below, and empty musical space that highlights the idea of loneliness and isolation. The track finishes out with Aoki’s classic melodic beats, full of heavy bass, deep drops, and pingy electronic sounds.

“Alan and I are kindred spirits and working with him on this track was so natural,” said Aoki. “ISÀK’s vocals make this piece really come alive, and I can’t wait for all of our fans to hear this track!”

“I’m super excited to get this one out there with my good friend Steve,” said Walker. “We already released a version called “Lonely” on my album, and it’s been a fan favorite during my shows. So it’s cool to get this new version out there as well!”
