Ever go to a DJ concert to dance instead of a club? It’s one of the best dance parties you could ever attend and I highly recommend it. Sure, your ears may never hear a certain sound wave ever again but the pure energy and youthful memories created by such an experience will never leave you.

Steve Aoki is the house this Thursday for his North American tour, Deadmeat, which means there will be major sweating going on in downtown Phoenix. Aoki and his dubstep prodigy, Datsik, are sure to keep their followers feeling beats throughout the show and leaving you with the impression of being more than alive with their mixes.

I shake my head to those who are not familiar with Aoki. Fathered by the owner of restaurant, Benihana, and sister to supermodel, Devon, talent runs in this DJ’s family and keeps him innovative. Aoki’s label, Dim Mak Records, was founded when he was just 19 and has signed hipster-loving artists, MSTRKRFT, and The Bloody Beatroots. Trust that Aoki knows what he’s doing when it comes to making electro and house music that people love to get down to. He’s respected as one of our generation’s best DJs for a reason. Dig it.
