Steve Aoki – Halfway Dead ft. Global Dan & Travis Barker (MP3 Download)
Steve Aoki is back with a new sing titled “Halfway Dead” featuring Global Dan & Travis Barker. Available for download and streaming, the superstar dj delivers his latest song after news about the passing of his manager.
Michael Theanne the manager of Steve Aoki, Cheat Codes and Deorro was found dead at 45 over the weekend. Theanne was returning home from a hike when he collapsed near his home in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, a coroner’s report is pending.
Theanne operated as Aoki’s manager in the United Kingdom and other international territories since 2008. He was responsible for establishing Aoki as a leading international EDM artist including securing Aoki’s summers’ run at Amnesia.
He also secured him headlining slots at major European festivals, such as Tomorrowland. Theanne even received a Grammy nomination for his work on the Steve Aoki documentary, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead back in 2016.
Aoki never set out with the intention of being the world’s greatest anything, least of all a DJ.
“I didn’t expect it to become a job that would carry everything, that would be the breadwinner that would carry my life forward,” Aoki says by phone from his Las Vegas home. “I thought my label was that. I was paying my debt for my passion, my record label, with $100/$200 gigs, times five gigs a week, times four weeks a month.
And then I was like, ‘Wow, I can pay off a lot of my expenses this way and live a pretty comfortable life.’ I didn’t expect it to take me where it has. I’m here to support artists and grow a community and culture that I absolutely love.”
