It is difficult to deny how instrumental Steve Aoki has been in helping define
the emerging music and nightlife culture in the US today. From his humble
beginnings throwing shows in the living room of his UCSB apartment, Aoki has
gone on to start the influential indie label Dim Mak as well as the now
legendary club night Cinespace Tuesdays in LA (which has hosted the debut L.A.
performances from everyone from Bloc Party to The Kaiser Chiefs to Uffie). As a
DJ, Aoki has helped define the budding indie/electro movement which in spirit
and attitude has bridged the gap between the punk and electronic worlds. Aoki
puts this sound on record with his debut mix album, Pillowface & His Airplane
Chronicles. All the big players in the indie/electro movement are represented on
album: from the heavily distorted disco of France’s recent heroes Justice, to
the raved up Soulwax remix of the Klaxons, to the first ever US appearance of
Does It Offend You, Yeah?’s UK phenom (and appropriately titled), “We Are
Rockstars.” Aoki contributes with the Weird Science remixes of Peaches and Bloc
Party, and hidden gems from Goose and Yelle also make the cut. And just when you
thought this was going to be just another mix CD, the vocals kick in… With
help from some of his buddies, Aoki was able to assemble an impressive list of
guest vocals which are layered expertly over the mix. Todd Fink from the Faint,
Steve Bays from Hot Hot Heat, Mickey Avalon, Spank Rock, Kid Sister, Santogold,
Har Mar Superstar, Pase Rock, Uffie and Amanda Blank all contribute, making this
album a true family affair.
