Steve Aoki: Rockstar DJ LIVE at Roseland Ballroom at saturday, April 9th, 2011

Last Friday Steve Aoki made a stop to NYC,  a nearly sold out rave at Roseland Ballroom.

Gina Turner, Bart B More and Dada Life held down the floor and got the whole crowd wet before Aoki came in for a true audio fuckfest.

Front man for Major Lazer was in the house and on stage keeping everyone entertained with some onstage "sex" w various of his dancers. They really got everyone pumped!! All the support were incredible!! I hadn't planned on attending a rave, but that is exactly what I was engulfed in.. Sweat, skin, bodies, hip outfits, arms in the air.. Yea that's pretty much any rave in a nut shell.. Oh yea X too.

Even before Aoki came on, my left elbow hurt from throwing my hands in the air like I didn't care.. It was awesome! Bart Bmore was pumping some serious dance jams, which myself and friend Stella took full advantage of. You could even say that's how we got our groove back. He let loose the Lion in all of us with "King of Africa"

Finally by 2am Steve came to stage to a thunderous roar. 12,628 flashing lights, 20ish dope beats, 4 stage dives, ( one of which was into the "Raver Raft" a blow up raft that he hung out on while his minions carried him down the class 5 rapids of Roseland) three bottles of Moet sprayed into the crowd, two massive confetti explosions from the ceilings, 1 Steve Aoki.

I heard "Pursuit of Happiness," my fav Aoki jam, so I was happy.

Steve went up to the second floor for a two- story dive, he gets on the ledge, the crowd is eating every second of this.. Then all the sudden a security guard forcefully throws him to the ground, and pins him down. I dont think he realized who He was.

"I'm screaming out fuck that"


Aoki didnt let one small mishap, one stupid obese man overtaken by his "authority" and dictator-like attitude to ruin one of the best shows NYC has seen in a while. He collected himself, ran on stage, threw a middle finger in the air, and it was all good again.

"I'm screaming out fuck that"

I left the show early at 3:45am, feeling very satisfied and eager for more.. which I got. Aoki is will be east coast for the next 5 days, which shows in Boston, Atlantic City, and Sayreville, and then embarking to Europe before ending his tour at Glow in DC.
