Steve Aoki is a widely-known — and widely-respected — electro-house musician and producer with a laundry list of credits to his name. But when you find out your Lollapalooza 2013 set is scheduled at the same time as acts like Nine Inch Nails and the Killers…well, you’ve probably got to prepare yourself NOT to be the center of attention.
In fact, Aoki’s very cool with how the Lolla lineup shook out. As he chilled out backstage at the Samsung Galaxy Artist Lounge, Aoki talked to Crave about how he approaches playing shows for an audience that might not be too familiar with his work — as well as some surprises hard-core fans can expect when they catch him at a performance like Lollapalooza.
You can take a look at our chat with Steve above!
