Steve Aoki

Steve Aoki is a Japanese-American DJ, producer, and entrepreneur born in Miami, Florida, to Rocky Aoki, the founder of the Benihana restaurant chain. He launched Dim Mak Records in 1996 at age 18 — years before EDM entered mainstream consciousness — building it into a respected independent label that introduced globally recognized acts including The Bloody Beetroots, The Chainsmokers in their early career, and Afrojack. Aoki's performance style is among the most immediately recognizable in live electronic music: he regularly throws elaborately decorated cakes into the crowd, crowd-surfs inside an inflatable raft, and choreographs his sets around synchronized CO₂ cannons and pyrotechnics, creating audience experiences that function as participatory theatrical events built around shared ritual. He received two Grammy nominations — for Best Dance/Electronica Album for Wonderland in 2013 and for Best Music Film for the Netflix documentary I'll Sleep When I'm Dead in 2016 — and has appeared on Forbes' list of the world's highest-earning DJs multiple times. The Guinness World Records organization recognized him for the most concerts performed by a solo artist in a 12-month period. In Las Vegas, Aoki holds active residencies at OMNIA Nightclub and OMNIA Dayclub & Skybar at Caesars Palace, Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand, Jewel Nightclub at ARIA, Tao Beach, and Palm Tree Beach Club — a Strip footprint spanning Tao Group and MGM Nightlife properties that makes him one of the most comprehensively booked headliners in Las Vegas nightlife.

Steve Aoki's sound: Theatrical spectacle DJ whose Las Vegas sets combine high-energy electro house drops with interactive showmanship — cake-throwing, crowd-surfing in an inflatable boat, and synchronized CO₂ cannons make OMNIA and Hakkasan performances experiential events distinct from standard DJ sets. His Dim Mak Records catalog spans electro house to pop-dance to genre-crossing collaborations from BTS to Blink-182, giving sets a cross-genre accessibility that draws mixed crowds well beyond the core EDM audience. At OMNIA Nightclub, the professional sound systems and production infrastructure amplify every element of their performance — from the sub-bass to the high-end clarity.

As a headliner, Steve Aoki commands the prime time slot — typically starting between 12:30 AM and 1:30 AM at nightclubs, or between 1:30 PM and 3:00 PM at pool parties. Headliner sets run 90 minutes to two hours and feature the full production package including pyrotechnics, CO2 cannons, and synchronized lighting.
