EDM Music: Steve Aoki'sTop Picks

Check Out Steve Aoki's Summer Playlist - Exclusive To You

It's no secret that EDM is having a moment. A giant, chart-topping, millions and millions of YouTube views and sold out festivals kind of moment. There's so many players in the EDM scene right now it's hard to know who to listen to — and what you can gladly skip over.

Thankfully, American Grammy-nominated international producer and EDM superstar Steve Aoki took time out of his busy schedule (he'd just flown in from Tomorrowland and was heading out the next morning to play at Hakkasan in Vegas) to take a River Thames speed boat cruise with us — and hand-select his ultimate playlist, exclusive to AskMen, for you.

Hailing from California, the world's fifth highest paid DJ last year (earning a cool £15 million) has that carefree west coast vibe and spent most of the ride jumping around and doing the wave while were still craving another dose caffeine to keep up. The kicker? He doesn't even drink, so we can only imagine how fun he'd be to see live (cake throwing aside).

Whether you've gotten the chance to or not, though, you'll definitely recognise a few tracks from his latest release, NEON FUTURE II, which includes the lead single with Moxie Raia, "I Love It When You Cry" as well as collabs with Linkin Park and Snoop Dogg.  

So with credentials in place, we suggest subscribing to the Spotify playlist below for the EDM tracks you should be setting your summer to — from Steve Aoki: your own personal DJ.
