Words cannot express how appreciative I am of this award and I look forward to pursuing my passion as a DJ for decades to come.”  – Steve Aoki

In being voted America’s Best DJ 2015, Aoki has earned another feather in his well-adorned cap, and we congratulate him on earning his latest honor.” – Jim Tremayne, Editor, DJ Times
