If all the party-minded teenagers disappeared from your town and/or city over the last 4 days, it's probably because world-famous DJ/producer/Dim Mak label head Steve Aoki just kicked off the "Deadmeat" tour, where Aoki and Datsik will spend the next few months selling out historic theaters and concert arenas around the country. Now, as far as the various ways children rebel, attending the odd electro rave or two isn't as bad as, say, joining the Young Republicans club or something: sure, they're bound to experiment a little bit, but that's going to happen anyway, and at least they're partying under the guidance of a master DJ.

[Photos via] While we've been mourning the end of summer by taking vacations, visiting family and proving that you can fit an entire bottle of wine into the new size cup at Starbucks, The Cobra Snake has been following his good buddy DJ Steve Aoki around the country as he headlines his very own Dim Mak stage at Identity Festival. But like all good SoCal boys, they know when it's time to come home, and over the weekend the Festival returned to blow the doors off of the Hollywood Palladium.

The club selection in the Hamptons is quite limited for a couple reasons. Not everyone out here is totally into the club scene and plus, they are only open a few months out of the year. Most are constantly going under name changes thanks to changes in ownership, and not all of them can stand the test of time. But among the ones who do survive, which are few, they each have developed their own personalities, their own crowds and their own quirks. The clubs in the Hamptons are kind of like their own high school clique and that is why I have given them superlatives, to better explain each club's niche.

Last Saturday, South Pointe let "Wall Miami" take over for a night with DJ Steve Aoki. This event was not for the lighthearted, but instead for those who were ready to rage! StyleCaster and Quizy also hosted the event and Daniel Chetrit spun alongside Aoki. Check out more photos! More»

Unlike most experiences where you get groped by a gigantic group of strangers, crowd surfing doesn't usually leave you depressed, hostile and in need of extensive therapy. In fact, quite the opposite: crowd surfing expresses a deep connection between an audience that's completely grooving on the show, and the performers who want to immerse themselves in that love. Only, like monogamy or The Strokes, crowd surfing has become a little too stale and boring lately. Or at least, it had before Steve Aoki and friends played the Palladium last weekend. More»

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Irish people! I have a secret to confess: I got a head-start to observing the holiday with some Jameson last night. And I wasn't the only one! You see, while we merely tolerate the drunkenness of the Irish for the vast majority of the calendar year, this is the time where we actively appease them, hoping they'll go away until year. But that never works so we must confront the countless examples of people getting into the Irish spirit (read: tanked) before the high holiday itself! Shameful? Absolutely. Worth documenting in photos? Absolutely. More»

For those of you who thought it was the lyrics to a Muppets song, the 'Dim Mak' from 'Dim Mak Tuesdays' actually represents the ancient and feared 'touch of death' martial arts technique. While we're not saying Steve Aoki can kill you with a single touch, we're not about to challenge the guy to hand-to-hand combat, either. And it seems he's been using his weekly party as a training dojo, teaching deadly techniques to the crowd. We sent an undercover operative to investigate... More»

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. That means most of you are in the process of braving the nudie photobooths at airport security or the not-as-bad-as-NYC traffic to escape back to wherever you came from. You're tired. You're probably cold. And tonight, you'll get hammered with people you haven't seen in years. So, with the help of some sweet photos from Steve Aoki's birthday bash at Cinespace last night (just to prove that there's plenty of fun to be had if you're sticking around), let's go over a few Do's and Don'ts for the hometown party scene.
