Watch this: ilan Bluestone ft. Giuseppe De Luca “Frozen Ground” official music video

The first single to be taken from his forthcoming debut artist album, “Frozen Ground” reunites ilan Bluestone with British singer / songwriter Giuseppe De Luca. Since joining Anjunabeats in 2011, ilan has been at the forefront of the evolving trance sound. With an ear for hooky instrumentals, organic chords and dance floor minded productions, the likes of “Big Ben,” “Spheres” and “43” became euphoric moments in DJ sets for acts such as Above & Beyond and Armin Van Buuren.

 A prolific touring artist, ilan has headlined the Anjunabeats North American tour in 2016 and 2017 as well as joining Above & Beyond at Madison Square Garden and Sydney’s All Phones Arena.

 The follow up to ilan and Giuseppe’s breakout hit “Bigger Than Love”, “Frozen Ground” was debuted during Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy 200 show in a sold out 13,000 capacity Ziggo Dome.

 For Giuseppe, inspiration for the song came after he joined ilan on stage at EDC, “There’s something about witnessing a sea of people gathered together to feel something that really helps to warp the borders of reality. I had this Brechtian idea of a specific sound, that when heard, would snap the listener out of their everyday veneer and allow them to connect with who they truly are. On Frozen Ground, I feel that sound, forever."

Steve Aoki Remixes "The Best," by David Choe's Band Mangchi

Mangchi, the experimental punk outfit led by notorious artist David Choe, gets the remix treatment from friend and collaborator Steve Aoki. Aoki transforms “The Best" into a late night club record full of high-energy synths and deep basslines on this heavy 4/4 workout. The boastful vocals don’t lie when they say, “it’s the motherf*cking best.” The artwork for the release is an original piece by David Choe and features his signature Munko whales.
 
With punk rock roots and DIY attitudes, Choe and Aoki are the perfect dyad. Earlier this year, the two collaborated at January’s North American launch of the Dim Mak Collection (DMC) at New York Fashion Week. Several of Choe’s illustrations were incorporated onto items within the DMC Fall/Winter 2017 collection and his surrealistic punk band, Mangchi, performed live during the DMC NYFW17 presentation.
 
Through Choe’s unique lens, Mangchi’s explosion of art and noise is on full display in the video for “The Best (view here).” Mangchi is the Korean translation for the word “hammer;” according to a video-only press release, their sound can be described as “A fart from a child without a butthole.” The LA-based group features several talented musicians, including legendary keyboardist Money Mark (of the Beastie Boys.)
                                     
Steve Aoki is a Grammy-nominated international producer/DJ, electronic dance music entrepreneur, and founder of the trendsetting record label, events/lifestyle company and apparel line Dim Mak. During a monumental 2016, Aoki celebrated Dim Mak’s 20th anniversary through curated stages in 20 cities around the world and the release of a special edition compilation album. His sonic roots were on full display last year when he remixed songs by legendary emo and punk bands My Chemical Romance (“Black Parade”) and Blink-182 (“Bored to Death.”) Additionally, he earned his second Grammy nomination for the Best Music Film category for his Netflix original documentary I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, which chronicles his fast-paced life as a DJ/producer.
 
He closed 2016 by collaborating with One Direction member Louis Tomlinson on “Just Hold On," which debuted at #1 in 43 countries and has since achieved Gold or Platinum status in 18 countries. Aoki is currently promoting his latest single “Without U” off his forthcoming album. The track is a collaboration with DJ/producer duo DVBBS and features 2 Chainz.

Steve Aoki Drops DVBBS Collaboration "Without U" Featuring 2 Chainz

Record producer, DJ and music executive Steve Aoki launches his new track “Without U” off his forthcoming album. The latest single, collaboration with DJ/producer duo DVBBS and featuring 2 Chainz, was recorded in early 2016 after Aoki spoke with the Atlanta rapper for years about a potential collab, resulting in a co-produced banger that Tity Boi recorded separately in his studio.

In his continuing quest to bridge genres, Aoki is set to perform at JMBLYA fest on May 5 & 6 alongside Chance the Rapper, Gucci Mane, Migos, Lil Uzi Vert, 6lack and others.

Aoki also earned his second Grammy nomination this past year for the Best Music Film category for his Netflix original documentary I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, which chronicles his fast-paced life as a DJ/producer by offering a firsthand look into his world. The film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival last spring to a sold-out audience.

Aoki recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of his legendary imprint Dim Mak, his independent label founded in 1996 encompassing everything from edgy rock to trendsetting electro, celebrating at major festivals around the world and with the release of a special edition compilation album.

The Canadian Electronic Duo DVBBS, made up of brothers Chris Chronicles & Alex Andre, are most famous for their joint international hit with Borgeous titled "Tsunami".

Their latest hit with CMC$ “Not Going Home” featuring Gia Koka has over 60 million streams on Spotify.
