What did you do Monday night? We hung out with Steve Aoki at XS Nightclub in the Encore, Las Vegas.  Not to brag or anything, but uh, we win.

Before Aoki brought the house down at XS, he sat down for a long chat with Elektro about playing 260+ shows annually while also producing and running a record label, (“I’m taking my first vacation in six years next month”), playing $20,000 poker hands, (“if I wasn’t talking to you right now, I’d be at the poker table”), and when he’s going to cut his hair, (“never”).

Check out Aoki’s first-EVER artist album, “Wonderland,” slated to drop January 17-- and stay tuned for our feature story on the Dim Mak daddy himself in the first-EVER issue of Elektro, hitting stands February 2012.

Looks like 2012 will bring a lot "first-EVERS" in EDM.
