“I’m a time travelling, speed
reading, fortune telling, machine gunning, gypsy loving, scuba diving,
multi-tasking, poker playing fan of life. I like playing the odds. My beliefs
are radical but I embrace the conservative. I love green tea and believe I was
a fish. I love producing music and performing art. My biggest heroes are Bruce
Lee and Malcolm X. Be like water by Any Means Necessary. I’m a perfectionist
that hates perfection.
I am Pillowface and I live in
the sky as much as I do on land. Absorb Life. Embrace your passion. Wield it
and you will learn to love yourself.”- Steve Aoki

About Olmeca Tequila
Olmeca Tequila is a high-quality
tequila, created in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico, known for
producing the best blue agave plants. Olmeca is created with quality, not
efficiency in mind, so the blue agave plants are slow-cooked in a brick oven to
release the plant’s finest flavours. The juice from the fruit is then derived,
in part, using a 500-year-old production technique before being distilled.
