Split Works and Club Tango are delighted to be presenting a killer double-bill: DJs Diplo and Steve Aoki. Two of the biggest names on the electronic music scene, these guys make some of the most innovative and infectious party music on the planet. Performing in China for one night only, the Diplo-Aoki duo will lift you up into a state of turntable-bliss.
About Diplo
Mississipi-born, Florida-bred Diplo is a party DJ who’s not afraid to mix it up, injecting bits of breakbeat, crunk and ‘80s flavor into his sets. Diplo is also credited with importing the Brazilian style of funk carioca or Baile funk to the United States, and popularizing it around the world. A far cry from actual funk music, it emerged from the slums and Favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where popular soul and funk from the U.S. and new electronic music from Germany blended together to produce a distinct bass-heavy sound.
Diplo has worked with artists ranging from Spank Rock to Santigold, and also DJ’d his ex-girlfriend M.I.A.’s Arular tour in 2005.
Starting his own record label, Mad Decent, Diplo has signed on Brazilian Baile Funk group, DJ Blaqstarr, while working on various social relief projects. Diplo’s newest album Decent Work for Decent Pay remixes Peter Bjorn and John’s “Young Folks”, Daft Punk’s “Harder Better Faster Stronger” and M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” elevates these sounds to become modern electro classics.
About Steve Aoki
Pitchfork famously bashed Steve Aoki by describing his sound as “the aural equivalent of mixing toothpaste and orange juice,” but it is that unlikely combination that has ignited a fierce following not only in the music blogosphere but among electro-freaks the world over.
An outcast growing up in the buffed and tanned 90’s SoCal, Aoki began to entangle himself into the underground music scene in California holding parties in the living room of his UC Santa Barbara apartment, creating his synapse-bending signature sound of experimental electronic beeps mixed with neo-pop from European bands.
Dozens of party-starting remixes later, the Steve Aoki empire includes not only his own clothing label, but his own record label, Dim Mak, with a roster including the likes of Bloc Party, MSTRKRFT, The Klaxons, Boyz Noise and Fake Blood.
Get ready to “shake and pop” to electro-phenoms Diplo and Steve Aoki on Sept. 18.
Lastly, a mighty thanks to our hotel sponsor Hotel G Beijing for its support in bringing Diplo and Steve Aoki to China.

Split Works 和 Club Tango 很荣幸能够携手献上这对充满杀伤力的组合：Diplo & Steve Aoki. Diplo 和 Steve Aoki，这两个电子音乐界响当当的DJ名字，曾为全世界歌迷带来无数富有创新和耳熟能详的电子舞曲音乐。这个双人组合会于9月驾临北京，进行他们在中国唯一的一场演出，用电音轰击你的耳膜，震动你的心脏。
关于Diplo
作为一个派对DJ，Diplo对任何风格的音乐都来者不拒，他喜欢把Breakbeat、Crunk和上世纪80年代的音乐元素混合在一起，制造出属于自己的音乐。Diplo也把巴西风格的Funk Carioca和Baile Funk音乐风格带给美国，并把这种音乐推广于世界各地。与实际的放克音乐不同的是，这产生于巴西里约热内卢的贫民窟中。他把这种灵魂感的美式放克音乐与德国新电子乐混合在一起，形成了一种独特的低音重型电声。
和他合作过的艺人有Spank Rock和Santigold等，他也为前女友M.I.A于2005年进行的《Arular》专辑巡演担任现场DJ。
从他个人厂牌 Mad Decent开始, Diplo签约了来自巴西的Baile Funk团队DJ Blaqstarr, 同时也为社会的公共事业致力. 在Diplo最新专辑《Decent Work for Decent Pay》中，收录了Peter Bjorn and John的热门歌曲 “Young Folks”、 Daft Punk的 “Harder Better Faster Stronger” 和M.I.A.的 “Paper Planes”的混音版本。Clashmusic.com盛赞Diplo为“把独立摇滚融合入舞池”的天才DJ。
关于 Steve Aoki
Steve Aoki的音乐在Pitchfork网站上被评论为 “听起来就像牙膏和橙汁的混合,” 这种从未出现的组合掀起来一阵猛烈的跟风，这种跟风不仅仅出现在音乐博客圈，同样还出现在电子怪人的世界中。
当这个弃儿在赤裸和扭结的九十年代中成长后, Aoki 走入了地下音乐圈，在他自己加州大学的公寓客厅里举行派对，创造出了属于他自己的扭曲带有标志性的同欧洲新乐队的歌曲混合在一起的新声音。
在无数场演出后，Steve Aoki 帝国不仅包括他的服装品牌，还包括他自己的唱片公司Dim Mak, 名单中有 Bloc Party、MSTRKRFT、The Klaxons、Boyz Noise以及Fake Blood这些响当当的名字。
准备好在 Diplo & Steve Aoki带来的电子节奏中摇摆和跳跃吧，就在9月18日的夜晚。
我们也要对本次演出的合作伙伴北京Hotel G酒店致以最真挚的感谢。感谢你们所做的努力。
