Miami powerhouse DJ Steve Aoki released a new single this morning (March 23), and Billboard has the exclusive premiere of his new music video.
“Mayhem,” featuring Dutch DJ Quintino, is the first in a series of hard-hitting Big Room collaborations coming out on Dim Mak over the next 5 weeks. The campaign, called “5OKI,” also includes a massive “Dim Mak Miami Party" today, with Carnage, Desiigner, Dada Life, Grandtheft and of course Aoki all scheduled to perform.
The 2-minute music video films as a satirical horror trailer, with Aoki and Quintino stranded in a winter forest, with Aoki wearing nothing but a gown. A mysterious voice calls Aoki as the beat builds. “Sorry, Steve,” the voice says in a deep baritone, “looks like you’re gonna have to miss this one.” The camera pans to Aoki’s face: “I ain’t never missing a show,” he says. What ensues in the remaining minute of the music video is as fast-paced and heart-pumping as the single itself.
Aoki is also scheduled to perform this evening at Ultra Music Festival. Daddy Yankee and Elvis Crespo are set to make guest appearances during the set. This article originally appeared in Billboard
