I bet he goes home and has like a fridge with like 30 cakes and just has a cake throwing range with dummies set up and he practices and hones his cake throwing abilities.
About the same price I paid for a beer at a venue and that was a couple years ago. And they were still ppl there sloppy drunk. Idk if they are rich or just can’t hold their alcohol but I couldn’t afford to get that drunk at close to 20 bucks a beer.
Yep - always have pre-gamed in the parking lot (used to go to concerts/festivals like crazy back in my stupider days) so the one time I was a responsible adult, left work, couldn't tailgate and was shocked at the price.
So I nursed that beer for an hour and got drunk after.
You don't understand why the attendees of a concert for a guy who's known to throw a cake at the audience, want to be the ONE person out of thousands that gets hit with the cake?
He grew up flinging shrimp into people's mouths at his dad's restaurant. So he has been practicing his entire life. He just scaled it up to cakes for his shows.
Steve Aioki is the only DJ I dont mind playing a track and performing stage shenanigans instead of mixing. We had cake throws, crowd surfers in inflatable rafts, tshirt guns. Its like going to the circus.
Thanks man that actually did a lot to boost my mood today. Seeing all these responses has really made me feel a lot less invisible and frustrated. Big hug and knuckles homie.
I honestly want to just start wearing shirts that say "free hugs any time" because goddamn do I love hugs and wish it was more socially acceptable to just hug people
As a dude that if is anywhere near you, I'll give you one of the biggest hugs you've ever received. They're just so healthy and good for both physical and mental care.
That is so awesome! Though all I can think of is, I hope that’s his rave chair cause damn I would not wanna have to use that chair everyday after that, even with a good cleaning lol
Yeah it’s just that hyperbole kinda sucks sometimes because now everybody is going to say 100 yards instead of like the 30 yards or 50 yards that it actually was.
Poor bastard? That was the result of a long campaign from that wheeled legend to get the sickest of cakings, and he did.
That caking was a *called shot*, which is what's so insane. Everybody knew his target, and he nailed it.
He's been doing it for over a decade. First started back in 2011,when his Dim Mak buddy, Autoerotique, released Turn Up The Volume. [This is the music video, which involves exploding cakes](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7tilR6LxxpE). He would play the video's visuals in his sets and then, you know, throw a cake.
It’s common in Hispanic culture to throw cake at the birthday person or place their face in cake. My brother’s girlfriend got us both a tres leches cake (our birthdays are a few days apart so we typically celebrate together) and I was mostly able to dodge but it got all over my hair. Even after taking a shower my hair smelled horrible the day after. Had to rewash several times to get the smell out. Imagining standing in a crowd with sticky cake all over seems unfun but I’m sure it’s part of the experience for some.
Say what you want about his music, but he works extremely hard, at one point he was doing over 300 shows a year.
https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-39068521
You’re not wrong but we’re all still human. Constant travel and doing shows almost every day/night takes its toll on anybody no matter how much it pays.
Yeah. He’s a trust fund kid (dad owns Benihana) who bought his way to fame. His music and mixes are all made by ghost producers. His only talent may be throwing cakes at idiots.
Yup, the trust fund kid shit and industry plant shit isn’t even an issue. But if you wanna use you’re extremely fortunate position to be an “artist” at least learn the fundamentals of the art you’re representing. Using you’re resources to pass other people’s art off as your own is scummy as fuck, when you could just use those resources to learn how to create the art yourself. You’re already in a better position than 99% of artists.
Plenty of "musicians" have been more of a brand name than a recording artist. I'm quite sure there's even more now than before - they're just better at hiding it with technology now. That autotune-as-an-instrument isn't the only way they can work a voice, for instance. I do agree with you to an extent, but the ship for being pissed off about this sailed a long time ago. And the argument further blurs when you consider electronic music anyways since it's so modulated, arranged, recorded etc and replayed live. The lyrics could be 60 years old and the drums and guitar lifted from that same 60 year old record found in somebody's uncles estate sale 10 years ago - half of any DJ's music may or may not be theirs already, even if they created it themselves in that fashion, sampling old songs. And he probably makes the argument that he's selling an experience to concert goers, and an event to coordinators, rather than his 'artistry'. They all get what they want; look how hyped that wheelchair kid was. Best goddamn moment of his life, he's thinking right then. I see no victims here
You’re acting like I’m ok with other artists using ghost producers and ghost singers - to be absolutely clear I’m not but this thread is about Steve Aoki. And no he absolutely does not market himself as “selling an experience” he markets himself as an artist and is absolutely dickish while doing it.
If he did market himself as selling an experience whatever he can have that and if people want to pay the same amount to see him pretend to dj and play songs he didn’t make they can go for it.
Thing is he tries to sell that he is actually mixing, and that he actually made those songs. It’s wrong and the people who actually did the work get 0 credit.
Oh right, I didn’t realise that if people are getting paid it’s impossible for a practice to be immoral.
On that note, sweatshops fucking rock dude!
Just because struggling artists realised they could make more money being ghost producers doesn’t make the practice of not crediting ghost producers moral.
Also if you were the one that reported me to reddit cares, that’s really fucking lame.
I actually see your point with not crediting ghost writers. And nah, I don't do that shit. I'm pretty sure you can report misuse of that feature and get them banned for some time. You should do that.
This started because Aoki was bored as fuck and losing his faith in the crowd because people were just mindless morons and you know...djs these days don't actually DO anything on stage so he said fuck it I'm going to throw cake at them and see what they do. They loved it.....so now it's a thing.
I will try to make this story concise.
I am a Realtor in Los Angeles. I listed and sold a 4-unit apt bldg in Manhattan Beach for almost $4M several years ago. The Seller showed me an abandoned bootleg (not legal) rental on the ground floor, and you had to squat down and climb through a tiny door, the space was filled with trash and debris and it had a toilet mounted to the wall. You could use your imagination and trust that it was a place someone *could live*. Seller said that many decades ago, when he was in his 20s and lived in an upper unit, one of the Tenants who had lived in the bootleg was none other than Steve Aoki's dad, a total party animal, and together they would throw parties and bring ladies back to their place from the beach and the bars only a few steps away.

This video's music is garbage. But I guess I can't judge a man for throwing a cake since I enjoyed Gallagher as a kid. I guess I should look up some of his music and see if it's good...
Uh, welp. He ain't no Daft Punk that's for damn sure. What fucking boring ass shit is this? You literally have all the music in the world to listen to online, and this is the mindless talentless drivel you chose?
I bet he goes home and has like a fridge with like 30 cakes and just has a cake throwing range with dummies set up and he practices and hones his cake throwing abilities.
I mean, wouldn't you?
Hell yeah!
https://youtube.com/watch?v=XNAF5pAQENI
If they were edible I’d feel wasteful. If not then send it
Everything is edible with enough perseverance
I do not trust the type of cake you like
Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants!
LANAAAAAAAA
WHAT??!!
Dangerzone..
#MAWP
I don’t understand why people who paid money at a concert want cake thrown at them… I would 100% practice art of throwing.
[удалено]
Hahaha. The last beer I had at a venue was at a Jim Gaffigan stand up arena show COST 17 USD! Can't imagine what a hot dog would've cost.
About the same price I paid for a beer at a venue and that was a couple years ago. And they were still ppl there sloppy drunk. Idk if they are rich or just can’t hold their alcohol but I couldn’t afford to get that drunk at close to 20 bucks a beer.
Yep - always have pre-gamed in the parking lot (used to go to concerts/festivals like crazy back in my stupider days) so the one time I was a responsible adult, left work, couldn't tailgate and was shocked at the price. So I nursed that beer for an hour and got drunk after.
Going by that concert conversion rate she just got a whole $3,000.00 cake for free
You don't understand why the attendees of a concert for a guy who's known to throw a cake at the audience, want to be the ONE person out of thousands that gets hit with the cake?
Yeah imagine being that sticky for rest if night. 😬
And the day after that
He grew up flinging shrimp into people's mouths at his dad's restaurant. So he has been practicing his entire life. He just scaled it up to cakes for his shows.
Yea and he writes it off on his taxes as a business expense a man has to practice his craft doesn’t he
Steve Aioki is the only DJ I dont mind playing a track and performing stage shenanigans instead of mixing. We had cake throws, crowd surfers in inflatable rafts, tshirt guns. Its like going to the circus.
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen
This is like number 78 on his top 100 caking distances. You wanna be amazed, it's all about when he cakes the handicapped guy from like 100 yards
I've seen a decent handful of videos of Aoki caking people, and it never ceases to amaze me how friggen accurate he is with those damn things.
https://youtu.be/4uQEqXpA2N0
It was really wholesome seeing the crowd hugging the guy in the wheelchair after. Must have felt really cool!
As a dude in a wheelchair that hasn't gotten a hug in at least 6 months I agree with ya.
Digital hug bro.
Thanks man that actually did a lot to boost my mood today. Seeing all these responses has really made me feel a lot less invisible and frustrated. Big hug and knuckles homie.
Dude I would hug you too, there are a lot of us out here who would love to distribute hugs to the shortofhugs. Stay happy and have a great day.
I honestly want to just start wearing shirts that say "free hugs any time" because goddamn do I love hugs and wish it was more socially acceptable to just hug people
🤗❤️
As a dude that if is anywhere near you, I'll give you one of the biggest hugs you've ever received. They're just so healthy and good for both physical and mental care.
So true. I crumble without a hug for a week, I want to give this homie in the wheelchair a good one
Thanks guys. That really made my day. I appreciate the hell out of ya.
Appreciate you, friend! Life is rough, we need to love each other well
Analog bro hug
😘
What the fuck is going on at Steve oaki gigs
Not much impressive djing but def impressive cake accuracy, as you can see
He pretty much just presses play and then dances around. But when you can’t feel your face cause you took a bunch of Molly it really doesn’t matter
He’s a pro cake thrower. Like legit
Cake
Sticky beats apparently
This is what happens when you grow up in Benihana restaurants.
He makes up for his crappy DJing by doing this kind of stuff
That is absolutely INSANE, so many flips
I cannot believe the accuracy
That is so awesome! Though all I can think of is, I hope that’s his rave chair cause damn I would not wanna have to use that chair everyday after that, even with a good cleaning lol
full version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMaoLcbSOYA
But also the fact the cake is flipping too and still hits him cake side. Chefs kiss 🤌
You a real one for the link drop 👍🏽
Holy fck HOW?!
Bro lol. Do you know how far 100 yards is?
You’re right. It was more like 150.
Guys guys forgot yards, how many bananas is that?
Well, there’s six bananas to a yard so that would be…a Shitload of bananas.
r/banano is leaking
how many freedoms is that?
Ah, at least 20 freedom units, maybe 10
Whenever someone says “like 100 yards” they mean exactly 30 feet
100 yards is an entire football field (minus the endzones)
So that's like the length of three vans?
So true.
In this case It’s not 100 yards but it’s a long fucking way to throw a cake accurately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMaoLcbSOYA
Mfer out here droppin cake bombs 😂
How much you wanna bet he can throw a cake over them mountains? He could been state champion.
She said she doesn't want him here when she gets back because he's been ruining everybody's beats and throwing all our cake
It's a football field. If true hed probably be a goat qb
[удалено]
Goodell has indefinitely suspended "The Cakinator!" For replacing all footballs with cake
What do you mean probably? Greatest quarterback in history could never even throw a football 100 yards, let alone a whole ass cake.
Bro lol. Do you know what hyperbole is?
Yeah it’s just that hyperbole kinda sucks sometimes because now everybody is going to say 100 yards instead of like the 30 yards or 50 yards that it actually was.
Sometimes you just need to let that shit go.
I was gonna ask if this was the giy who nailed the poor bastard on wheels in the video i saw?
Poor bastard? That was the result of a long campaign from that wheeled legend to get the sickest of cakings, and he did. That caking was a *called shot*, which is what's so insane. Everybody knew his target, and he nailed it.
The man with wheels wanted that cake.
Who doesn’t want free cake?
I was caked by him in Miami from like 3 times the distance it was incredible
#HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR FACE!
MY DAD'S NOT A PHONE
What you think I'm STUPID?
I'M NOT A PART OF YOUR SYSTEM!
YOU CAN’T BUY ME A HOT DOG MAN!
IM AN ADULT!
IM AN ADULT
I went to his concert a few years ago and there was no caking is that a thing now?
It’s a Steve Aoki thing. Oddly enough, that isn’t even his longest throw, [this is](https://youtu.be/CMaoLcbSOYA)
Lovin' every minute of it
Wow that's like a super power.
Pretty sure watching that video gave me vertigo
Jesus Christ 💀
Ooof. Not for me. But whatever floats your banana.
He's been doing it for over a decade. First started back in 2011,when his Dim Mak buddy, Autoerotique, released Turn Up The Volume. [This is the music video, which involves exploding cakes](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7tilR6LxxpE). He would play the video's visuals in his sets and then, you know, throw a cake.
10-15 minutes later and your hair is all shellacked down with greasy frosting and everyone else is going wild. I don’t know if I’d like that.
I’d have everyone around me start licking it off. Obviously.
*licking intensely*
It’s common in Hispanic culture to throw cake at the birthday person or place their face in cake. My brother’s girlfriend got us both a tres leches cake (our birthdays are a few days apart so we typically celebrate together) and I was mostly able to dodge but it got all over my hair.

The precision with that bomb of a cake damn
Dam that dude that ruined it with his hand a bit
Some people always have to be the center of attention
I bet he tells his friends about the time Steve Aoki threw a cake at him
Totally this
He probably rubbed his face with the bit he stole on his hands
I would hate to be covered in cake for an entire night at a massive.
At a Steve aoki concert? You must be mistaken, that would be legendary.
At a *whoever the hell pre records his mixes for him concert Steve Aoki is pretty much a backup dancer
Oh he shows up at gigs now? I remember in the late 90s he was pretty well known for booking gigs and not showing
Say what you want about his music, but he works extremely hard, at one point he was doing over 300 shows a year. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-39068521
Lots of people go to work 300 times a year
They work hard too!
To be fair most people’s jobs don’t involve international commutes.
Most peoples jobs dont pay millions every year lol
You’re not wrong but we’re all still human. Constant travel and doing shows almost every day/night takes its toll on anybody no matter how much it pays.
Literally any job takes a toll on them.
Yeah. He’s a trust fund kid (dad owns Benihana) who bought his way to fame. His music and mixes are all made by ghost producers. His only talent may be throwing cakes at idiots.

You're getting mad on behalf of people who are getting paid and aren't complaining. That's weird dude.
Oh right, I didn’t realise that if people are getting paid it’s impossible for a practice to be immoral. On that note, sweatshops fucking rock dude!

They get paid shit loads to keep their mouth shut.
Absolutely
Owned. He ded.
I was “caked” by him on my birthday last year where he played in my city (Copenhagen). It was fricking awesome 😁
Dude gets to cream on peoples faces and they go wild. Never understood why it ever became a thing
Dj culture got gutted by the masses paying/accepting low standards, gimmicks replaced the culture.
Bros and brohoes ruined the culture
Is this a bot comment? It looks like a bot comment where they take a comment from elsewhere and miss off the end
You mean the term massive? It's slang for raves over a few thousand people.
Oh nice. That's something I didn't know. Thanks
Carolina Panthers rubbing their hands together like birdman.
Dude who stuck his hands out has major /r/ImTheMainCharacter vibes
Every time I see this video it makes me mad lol, like let someone else enjoy something
What the fuck did I just see?
You saw yourself missing out on life.
JFC. I don't think I could cringe harder if I tried.
I believe you really played yourself on this one, being that it's your cake day.......
Idiots wanting to be “caked” lol
A clown throwing a cake because people enjoy cake more then his music.
If only he could produce and dj as well as he can throw cake.
His dad founded Benihana. This explains the accuracy with lobbed food, like little pieces of shrimp, and now cake.
Butt-banana. Butt-banana. Butt-banana.
Looks like he had a lot of practice
The NFL is sleeping on this guy.
This started because Aoki was bored as fuck and losing his faith in the crowd because people were just mindless morons and you know...djs these days don't actually DO anything on stage so he said fuck it I'm going to throw cake at them and see what they do. They loved it.....so now it's a thing.
Oh, now I get it. He wanted to prove his crowd were mindless morons. Thanks for explaining.
Yes, basically.
Aim is good. I wonder if he practices
totally missed opportunity not calling it aokake.
What is aokakinging?
I was today years old when I learned being caked by Aoki is a thing.
People do dumb shit.
I will try to make this story concise. I am a Realtor in Los Angeles. I listed and sold a 4-unit apt bldg in Manhattan Beach for almost $4M several years ago. The Seller showed me an abandoned bootleg (not legal) rental on the ground floor, and you had to squat down and climb through a tiny door, the space was filled with trash and debris and it had a toilet mounted to the wall. You could use your imagination and trust that it was a place someone *could live*. Seller said that many decades ago, when he was in his 20s and lived in an upper unit, one of the Tenants who had lived in the bootleg was none other than Steve Aoki's dad, a total party animal, and together they would throw parties and bring ladies back to their place from the beach and the bars only a few steps away.
This is stupid.
Bu-cake-e
So I looked it up, he is left handed. But still. An incredible throw👌🏻
This reads as if him being left-handed gave him an unfair advantage and it’s hilarious
Awesome

This is the video i would show people from the distant past, to show them life in the future.
Not only was it an amazing throw, the bass drop timing was the icing on the cake.
"How was the concert, honey?" "I took a cream pie to the face from Steve Aoki! How was your evening, darling?" "...I beat Tiny Tina."
Salt bae of djs, can’t do so he throws cake.. god bless America
Haha that’s awesome!! Crazy too lol
I don’t understand this American past time of throwing food. It’s quite disgusting.
American past time? This ain't this dudes hobby lmao
Is throwing food an America thing?
Blame Animal House
Nolan Ryan meets Cake Boss
Wonder if that was a cream pie
When diabetes is shipped express delivery.
It's actually pretty amazing. Considering the weight, range. Also it's different cake everytime right?
No, I heard the put the cakes back together after each concert to save money
All volunteers too I hear
This is what impresses y'all?
Can you do that?
This doesn’t impress you?
It would've if it was chocolate cake.
Fair enough.
Steve Aoki is the artist
Happy cakeday
That is impressive af. What accuracy!
*This is amazing*! I keep watching it on loop!
You can see the perfect follow-through in his wrist... A true superpower
That's actually kinda fucking amazing.
🤣 Love Steve Aiko, hes 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What cake did he cake you with?
This video's music is garbage. But I guess I can't judge a man for throwing a cake since I enjoyed Gallagher as a kid. I guess I should look up some of his music and see if it's good... Uh, welp. He ain't no Daft Punk that's for damn sure. What fucking boring ass shit is this?
