Get to know the artist

Steve Aoki is a Californian DJ and producer associated with festival-scale dance music and an overtly theatrical performance style. Dim Mak, the label he runs, is a central part of the musical picture alongside his own artist catalogue.

Explore beyond the show: Use the Dim Mak catalogue to move beyond the cake-throwing stage image and into the releases around him. His festival-facing approach and Las Vegas performances are useful context, but a particular night's lineup remains the best guide to its format.

Cohort: Official published festival mixes. Selected window: 2025-07-20 to 2026-07-19 (365 days inclusive).
Each counted official published mix was checked for its complete published track listing, at least 80% fully identified visible music rows and 10 unique identified track/remix names. A complete published mix does not establish an unedited or complete live performance. One source date counts once per DJ.
0 in-window source records were excluded for incompleteness, coverage, unique-track minimum, or a repeated performance date.
Source observations checked through 2026-10-16. This is a dated sample, not a live feed or a complete history.
Matching uses reviewed canonical credited artist, title and version keys, independent of platform. Aliases require manual review; unspecified versions are not certified originals and are not merged with named remixes. Ambiguous components stay unknown. Identified mashup/layer components count as selections; only explicitly established main-track order contributes transitions. A source row counts as identified only when every component is identified.
Set overlap averages pairwise Dice: 200 times shared unique selections divided by the combined unique-selection counts. Repeat order counts identified adjacent main-record pairs occurring in at least two distinct sets, divided by all such pair occurrences.
Unknown tracks are excluded from identity comparisons, never treated as rare. These metrics do not measure mixing skill, crowd response or artistic quality.
Dates use published mix date; publication dates must not be read as confirmed performance dates.
4 reviewed source rows explicitly labelled Commentary were excluded from music identification coverage. Their positions remain sequence gaps; they never create transitions between music selections on either side. Raw source-row counts are retained in the evidence.
