(thewrap.cpm) Steve Aoki will close MTV’s reformatted Woodie Awards at South by Southwest March 15, following the likes of Childish Gambino, Santigold and A$AP Rocky on stage.
The founder of Los Angeles-based Dim Mak records and a long-time DJ/producer from the world of electronic dance music, Aoki said he was “kind of taken aback by the whole idea.”
“I’ve never done an awards ceremony, so I’m actually really honored to be a part of it,” Aoki told TheWrap. “It’s an amazing time where underground music can break out and crack the mainstream code without playing by the conventional rules. I’m really really happy that MTV has opened up its doors to electronic dance music.”
