Steve Aoki Shares Pop-Punk Track “Halfway Dead” with Travis Barker and Global Dan

DJ/Producer and entrepreneur, Steve Aoki, dropped today a new single titled “Halfway Dead” which sees him partner with both drummer Travis Barker and singer/rapper Global Dan. The new single is accompanied by tour news and confirmation of the April 3rd release of Aoki’s new album, Neon Future IV.

Commenting on the single Aoki said, “It was so organic working with these guys. Collaborating with Travis, who’s a rock icon, is always a good time and brings me back to my roots. With Global Dan, not only did we do this song together on my album, but I signed him and produced his whole EP on Dim Mak. He mixes worlds I love like pop-punk and hip-hop in a way that I haven’t heard done before. He’s one to watch.”

Barker adds, “Anytime Steve wants to do something together I am always game. Making a pop-punk song together is so exciting and something we’ve never got to do before. Steve and I always have a great time making music together.”

And, lastly, Dan says, “I’ve been listening to Blink-182 since I was 14 and I discovered Steve from the movie Project X; he had done a remix on Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” and ever since I heard it I was hooked. As far as how the song came to life, I was working on it with my friend, I sent it to Steve, he did his thing with the co-production, sent it to Travis, and Travis did his thing on the live drums. Working with them was a dream come true and I’m super hype for this tour. I just hope his fan base rocks with me.”
