His energy level is nonstop and infectious. The crowd could not get enough of Aoki. He commanded the Marquee stage, and the tracks he played were versatile and remarkable. He truly put his heart in his music, and that came across in his eclectic set. The audience could not stop screaming as he was walking across his DJ booth.
“Are you with me, New York?” Aoki asked, and the crowd erupted with a resounding “yes.” “Put your hands up!” he commanded, and they obeyed his orders as if he were an army general.
The giant televised screen consisted of multifarious psychedelic and hypnotic backdrops. The venue was packed at full capacity, and he had them jumping and dancing along. As always, Aoki was in top-notch physical shape.
With such high-caliber set, one can only question how Aoki only ranked No. 9 on the 2017 DJ Magazine Top 100 DJs poll. He should easily be in the top three.
The Verdict
