Steve Aoki: A Night in the Life
"I work very hard when I'm on the road, and I always fit in time for exercise on a daily basis. On the Aokify America Tour, I started the Aoki Bootcamp and had Borgore and Waka join me on these exercise sessions. I'm here riding a bike in the parking lot behind the Shrine. Not exactly Bootcamp, but a fun way to keep my heart rate pumping." (All quotes by Steve Aoki)

Waka Warms Up the Crowd
"My dude Waka killed it throughout the entire Aokify America Tour. He was a highlight during every single stop on the tour. The fans really loved him. He brought a new energy fans aren't used to at electronic shows. He spends half his set in the crowd like a madman. He really is the best representation of this rap/electronic bridge we're building. He even calls himself the King of Rap EDM."
