Steve Aoki Announces Memoir “BLUE: The Color Of Noise”

Steve Aoki is a man that seems to NEVER stop. If he’s not touring the world or headlining a festival, he’s doing his radio show, handling his label Dim Mak, being a fashion icon, or even partying with Dan Bilzerian! Now, we get to see from the man himself how he does it all in his upcoming new memoir “BLUE: The Color of Noise”.

In BLUE, Aoki recounts the epic highs of music festivals, clubs and pool parties around the world, as well as the lows of friendships lost to drugs and alcohol, and his relationship with his flamboyant father. Illustrated with candid photos gathered throughout his life, the book reveals how Aoki became a force of nature as an early social media adopter, helping to turn dance music into the phenomenon it is today. (His performances are watched by millions in person and online at events such as Tomorrowland, Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival, and many more) All this, while remaining true to his DIY punk rock principles, which value spontaneity, fun and friendship above all else—demonstrable by the countless cakes he has flung across cities worldwide.

You can pre-order BLUE below, and I know I can’t wait to get my hands on this one for my next long flight!

BLUE Hit Shelves That September

“BLUE: The Color of Noise” officially came out on September 6, 2019 through St. Martin’s Press, co-written with journalist Daniel Paisner. Aoki recorded a chunk of the audiobook narration while out on tour in Europe, squeezing studio sessions in between shows on the road. In his own words: “Blue was a product of my heart and I poured every drop of my soul into it.”

Why Aoki Wanted To Tell This Story

The book leans into a lot of the stuff fans don’t usually get from Aoki’s stage persona — the legacy of his father, restaurateur and entrepreneur Rocky Aoki, the friends he’s lost along the way, and how a chaotic, unconventional upbringing turned into one of dance music’s most relentless work ethics. Coming from an artist known mostly for cake-throwing and crowd-surfing on rafts, BLUE gave fans a much more personal look at the guy behind the DJ booth.
