STEVE AOKI ON HIS RIDER: "DO I NEED IT? NO!"

Steve Aoki has responded to the image of his rider which has been leaked online. The rider consists of black V-neck shirts (American Apparel is acceptable FYI), Listerine, six pairs of boxers, an inflatable boat or dingle, a paid for dinner consisting of grass fed meat, a directors chair, four hotel rooms within a two mile radius of the venue and a handheld C02 blower, among many many other things.
The Dim Mak boss wrote on his blog: "My rider is now public information and seems to be the talk on my Twitter timeline so I’ll break down some of the more juicier bits of it since people are asking."
He goes on to justify many of the items, "In any given show I am with two to three other people that I have to take care of. Our lives are dedicated to living on the road and part of living on the road is learning how to travel efficiently.
"We all just travel with hand carry on...whatever the promoter brings to us becomes our outfit for the day."
The Listerine, he says, is because he can't take liquids in his carry on, and he admits he didn't even know about the director's chair.
He continues: "Two bottles of Cristal is definitely a ballin’ move. Do I need it? No, but if I can get it…sweet!"
Fair play. What DJ isn't a traveling baller? We'd be disappointed with anything less.
