When Steve Aoki headlines on the sand of beloved beach club Barasti, early next year, fans can expect to hear some of his biggest hits including Pursuit of Happiness, Just Hold On and Mic Drop. We can also look forward to hearing him spin some of his biggest collab tracks. During the last decade in the DJ business, he’s worked with global superstars like BTS, Kid Cudi, and Louis Tomlinson.

Since bursting onto the EDM scene with his debut album in 2012, Steve Aoki has become renowned for his electrifying DJ sets that fuse epic tracks with high-energy productions, and larger-than-life moments that usually involve some kind of cake throwing and crowd surfing.
