That'd be me...yes, yes, admittedly I am a starfucker. I can't help it. I have to say though, I've been quite good lately and have not made an ass out of myself in front of said famous people. However on Saturday eve I found myself talking to Aoki which was quite enjoyable. Let's back the truck up a bit shall we?
So Sat eve was the Fools Gold party and a bunch of friends and I went. Prior we had met for cocktails at one of our usual haunts located stumbling distance from my house. This place pours ridiculously strong drinks, essentially if you order a kettle soda with double lime like yours truly, you are getting a glass of vodka with a splash of soda...and I mean splash. Knowingly, I was actually milking my drinks...SHOCKER I know...but I really wanted to make sure I remembered everyones sets. We get to the club close to 11:30 p.m. and hardly anyone was there, which was actually a little surpising to me. As we walked in, we see Aoki come walking towards us. I turn to my boy and we both at the same time said that's Aoki! We kept walking though and got drinks so we could head to the floor and catch the end of Sammy Bananas set. Seeing as we were some of the first people on the dance floor, we pretty much took over, which of course is one of my favorite things to do. A girlfriend who was in rare form that night, I think mostly because before we went out she announced she was planning on making out with someone...ha! Well she was all about twirling me around and dipping me a lot. She was typsy and hilarious and I kept thinking this must be what I look like when I get like this. Anyway, at one point she spun me so hard that we went falling into this couple. Awesome! There were these dudes behind us commenting on our acrobats and not but five minutes later girl was making out with one of them...it was great! Anyway, while my lady was playing tonsil hockey with said dude, Aoki came on and threw down. I have to say I wasn't really impressed with his set in NYC, I thought Sinden by far had the best chops in NYC...but Aoki came with it. He was really into his set too which of course is one of my favorite things to see. After his set was A-Trak...oh I hate to say this, but I think he is a far better producer than DJ. Every time I've seen him I've been like, eehh. All of a sudden my little switch in my head told me time to go. Now if you've known me and have gone out with me before you know I pull a disapperaring act. Most of the time I tell one person that I'll be right back. If I ever say that, it means I am out. I just have a hard time bringing myself to say good bye to people especially if I am out with a ton of people which I was on Sat eve. So as I grabbed my shit to take off I literally ran into Aoki. Here's how the convo went down:
Me: Hey you're Steve Aoki
Aoki: (looks at his hands and shirt and then looks at me) Well I guess I am
Me: Wow your set was great tonight...I also saw you in NYC...I'm your stalker
Aoki: Huh, really? Intersting.
Me: No, no...but I did see your set in NYC and I thought tonight you really out did yourself
Aoki: Thanks...so are you saying I sucked in NYC?
Me: No! NO!!! Of course not!! (thinking shit I am a horrible liar)
Aoki: You're a horrible liar
Me: (laughing nervously) No you don't suck I just like what you played tonight better (still laughing nervously)
Aoki: Thanks kid!
Me: I gotta go...this lady is wasted and needs her bed.
Aoki: (laughing) OK miss nice chatting with you even though you think my set sucked in NYC
Me: STOP...good night!
So he was super cool and a great sport...thanks Aoki!! OK, so I bought his album Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles. It's a great mix of electro synthy beats with the opening track being by none other than mega punk stars Refused. D interesing that you and I were talking about them the other day and this song in particular. Anyway, most of you will hate the opening track because its loud, in your face and agressive...of course I love it! I used to be a punker back in the day...another post maybe one day. In any case, it's a really great album...nice job Aoki, nice job! Enjoy!

No need to beat around it, LU. HIS SET IN NYC SUCKED. But not nearly as bad as all of his dancing on stage before his set! However, I did find his opening track entertaining, because it was very aggressive for an Asian man. Oh, no I didn't.

HAHA! He kept his dancing to a minimum this time. Thank God! His set was 100% better...I promise! This album I posted is good...you'll enjoy...Tell me you have Green Velvet's Shake and Pop? See you on the roof of Studio B!
The better half of Drizz and Holla ;)
