When we reviewed Steve Aoki's 2012 effort Wonderland, we asked, "What's a Steve Aoki album without the collaborations?" Now, the famed EDM party starter has confirmed the details of his guest-heavy upcoming double album. Neon Future I will be out on August 12 via Dim Mak/Ultra Music, with Neon Future II to follow in early 2015.
Guests featured on the first part of Neon Future include Waka Flocka Flame, Fall Out Boy, Empire of the Sun, Will.i.am, Flux Pavilion, Bonnie McKee and Machine Gun Kelly. The album is apparently about an imagined future characterized by technological advancements.
"When I think of the dance world, I think of how it's a colourful world. That, along with my fascination with futurism defined the concept of my new album, Neon Future," Aoki said in a statement. "I see the future in a more of a utopian sense, built through technology, music and colour. These concepts became the driving force for the creation of my first double album."
Lead single "Rage the Night Away" features guest rapping from Waka Flocka Flame, and you can listen to the track at the bottom of the page. It's a thumping, hedonistic electronic dance cut that will doubtless inspire lots of partiers to do obey the titular demand.
