Steve Aoki: DJ Life, Biohacking, and 300 Shows Per Year! | TUH #009
About this video
Brecka interviews DJ Steve Aoki about sustaining roughly 300 shows a year: his Las Vegas home built around recovery modalities, family routines of breathwork, yoga, meditation, cold and sauna during lockdown, meditation practice and wearables data — including Aoki’s frustration that different devices gave him conflicting, anxiety-provoking sleep readings. They also discuss his Neon Future music/science projects and the emotional connection he seeks with fans at shows.
Key takeaways

- Aoki says conflicting wearable sleep data scared him and affected how tired he felt
- Brecka and Aoki discuss meditation and breathwork as performance tools, as they use them
- Aoki argues singular moments of connection with fans are what make touring meaningful, in his view
