Steve Aoki, JJ Lin release single
MULTI-platinum artist, producer and DJ Steve Aoki, has joined forces with the chart-topping Singaporean singer-songwriter, record producer, and multi hyphenate entrepreneur JJ Lin on a new track that energizes and motivates to never give up on the hustle, aptly titled “The Show.” The single is the first release from FLUXGEN, a new partnership between Steve Aoki and 88rising, a music company representing Asian talent. FLUXGEN deals with recorded music, live events and more, a genre-bending space that serves as a platform for collaboration and challenges the traditional notion of a record label. “The Show” arrives with a colorful music video filmed in JJ Lin’s home country of Singapore, and directed by Edgar Estevez (Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj, French Montana, Doja Cat, Wiz Khalifa) and Jon Primo of Blank Square.
