Steve Aoki interrupted one of his own sets to show the crowd his latest NFT purchase.

The self-proclaimed NFT fan stopped the music at a recent show to pull out a picture of a pink alien on his phone, which he purchased from the illustrator doodles. Aoki reportedly paid 269.69 ETH, the equivalent of $859,000 (£627,053) for the NFT.

Steve Aoki has launched a tech-house alias, Ninja Attack, with a chugging debut, 'Aurora'. 

Short and dark, running at just 2minutes and 38-seconds long, it follows on from his far-reaching album, 'Neon Future IV', and lands via MDLBEAST Records. The track will also feature on a forthcoming imprint compilation, 'SOUNDSTORM VOL.1'. 

Steve Aoki's fashion and record label Dim Mak has teamed up with Marvel Entertainment for a new fashion collection, 'Venom vs. Carnage'.

Steve Aoki and Armin van Buuren have collaborated on a new single.

Marking the first collaborative single the long-time friends have created together, 'Music Means Love Forever' comes a year on from van Buuren remixing Aoki's Icona Pop collaboration 'I Love My Friends', and Aoki reworking van Buuren and Tempo Giusto's 'Mr. Navigator'. 

Steve Aoki has designed a £3,050 watch for luxury manufacturer Bulgari, which he says is "made for raves".

News of the collaboration broke in an interview Bloomberg, including details of the watch's Superluminova dial that lights up, a feature the American EDM DJ and entrepreneur suggests is “perfect for waving around at your next festival in lieu of a glow stick." 

Steve Aoki has been working on a theatre production about the Mozart family.

Aoki, who came 10th in last year's Top 100 DJs poll, will debut his new show, Mozart² - The New Musical, at New York's Carnegie Hall in 2021.

Featuring Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark star Justin Matthew Sargent as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ruby Lewis as his sister Nan, the production will explore the life and struggles of both 18th century musicians.

Following the launch of DJ Mag’s Twitch account earlier this week, we have partnered with SMASH Esports and Yarden Nasimov for a charity Esports all-dayer this Sunday (5th April). The stream will raise money for the World Health Organization (WHO) COVID-19 Response Fund.
