Steve Aoki

“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 Electric

The primary objective of this new entertainment powerhouse is to bring the world's greatest DJs and live acts to SA, creating unforgettable touring and festival experiences.

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.
