Events | Steve Aoki: Winter White @ SJSU 1/30 and Cal Poly 1/31
Posted by Nick on January 12, 2014
Steve Aoki, one of the biggest artists in the game today, owner of Dim Mak Records, is about to have probably one of the craziest weekends of his career, playing not just one, but TWO college campuses in a row. The good people over at Collective Effort Events hooked it up once again, bringing not only Steve, but also Dzeko & Torres, Bones, and John Beaver to San Jose, in addition to AutoErotique and Max Styler to SLO.
These performances are not ones you want to miss. Think about it: Aoki shows are already filled with champagne showers, crowd rafting, and of course, the famous birthday caking – now add a couple thousand college students, and you get one of the most nuts environments you could possibly imagine. Even if you’re not a fan of Steve Aoki (and I’m not sure why you wouldn’t be), you should get a ticket just for the experience.
Find tickets for the SJSU venue HERE and for Cal Poly HERE. If you’re an SJSU student, go to the Event Center box office for a discount, and if you’re a Cal Poly student, go to the Mustang Ticket Office.
Get stoked, get ready, and no excuses if you aren’t there. In the meantime, check out Steve’s unreal cake-throwing aim in slow motion below.

Events, Preview | Flosstradamus & Alex Young @ The Warfield, 12/20/13 (UPDATE: SOLD OUT)
Posted by Nick on December 14, 2013
If you’re out in the bay for the holiday season, then you need to find yourself a ticket to Flosstradamus’ performance at the Warfield on 12/20. Of course, these guys are some of the OG trap artists who really helped the electronic sub-genre take flight, and if you don’t live under a rock, they probably don’t need much of an introduction; however, one of their opening acts for the evening who I do think deserves a little more love (though he has been getting some serious props recently from major players across the industry) is Alex Young. If you haven’t already heard of him, here’s why you should get excited about his set next Friday:
Alex is definitely a unique artist in the game right now. At just 16, this kid’s already played for thousands of people at multi-day festival events, and he’s not even out of high school yet. With a youthful perspective backing him up, his sound embodies a versatile dynamic that has the power to make you get on your feet and go crazy, or just mug it in your car while you throw your seat back, one hand on the wheel; even though he won’t be – he just started driving. There’s clearly a lot of energy coming for this guy, and if you can, you’re going to want to try and catch some of it in San Francisco. If you haven’t already, check out his latest track “SWTRWTHR” that premiered a couple weeks ago with a free download. Don’t forget to snag a ticket from stubhub or elsewhere – it’s sold out! Come get based with us.
PS – stay on the lookout for an exclusive FNT interview with Alex, coming soon!
