This weekend, our own Dan Casey was hanging out at the Wikia stage and food truck, chatting with geeky celebs and getting the scoop from New York Comic Con. And on Thursday, Steve Aokiâmusician, record producer, music executive, and executive producer of our own Nerdist Presents: The Hive horror filmâswung by to share anecdotes about starting his label Dim Mak from the ground up, comic conventions, music collaboration, and his new album, Neon Future Odyssey. (Did you know there’s a video for every single track on the album??) Dan and Steve also nerded out about the incredible way that technology is changing our lives and the world. If you’re passionate about music, creativity, futurism, or Steve Aoki’s massive body of work, this is an in-depth Q&A not to be missed.
Neon Future Odyssey is out now, and you can listen to some of Aoki’s music on the Nerdist Presents: The Hive soundtrack, which is available to rent on VOD today!
