Before heading to the moon on Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship later this year, the Orange County native is on tour, rocking out and showing off his punk rock roots in support of his latest album.
Pulled together during the height of the COVID-19 shutdowns, it was a chance for the now 45-year-old DJ to get in touch with his roots, pick up a guitar and jam, forming what turned out to be a 25-track record. It’s not all punk either, as Aoki easily sways between pop, country and Latin reggaeton, mixed with his classic EDM style.
“The affinity to find rock singers aligned when I started to go on that path and the highway started filling up with artists,” he continued. “I’m an A&R man at heart and an explorer by nature, so anything that will make me stop in my tracks is what I like to create with. So I was looking not only for the veterans, but the new generation that was doing something different. Working on the album just brought me back to being in a band again.
More than ever, Aoki ensures that the next round of upcoming artists are cared for with Latin imprint of the record label,. Since 2020, Aoki has enlisted Latin acts like AQUIHAYAQUIHAY, Andrekza Andreina, 2DEEP and La Favi to come on board. “When you start to work with a certain sound or movement, you realize how much is out there, and that’s what exactly happened when I began to work in the Latin space,” Aoki said. “When I discovered some of these artists, I realized it’s not about having them as features on my songs, but rather that they needed their own platform. That was really the seed of how I grew Dim Make En Fuego. I knew I wanted to make this differently to scale their music to a global audience.
