[Album Review] Steve Aoki ‘It’s The End Of The World As We Know It EP’
Steve Aoki may have only released one studio solo album but that doesn’t mean a damn thing. His remix and collaboration work would, and should, amaze any fan of the EDM scene. He has shown time after time his skill and dedication over the years, be it through his own Dim Mak Records record label, his extensive touring, or his vast array of artists he works with.
Now, Aoki has released an EP entitled It’s The End Of The World As We Know It that features three tracks totaling just under 20 minutes. Is this EP worth your time or are you better off watching the latest American Horror Story episde? Check below for the answer.
Opening with “Singularity”, which features My Name Is Kay and Angger Dimas, the track begins with heavy bass and claps. For some reason, these tones made me feel like I was entering Streets Of Rage. As the song gets to the meat and potatoes, there are slight dubstep elements mixed in with sexy, female vocals. It’s an exciting track, one that had me nodding my head along the whole way through.
The second track is “Omega”, which features Dan Sena and Miss Palmer, is what I personally feel to be the strongest track. It’s just far more exhilarating and entertaining than the other tracks, using a wealth of tones. As for Miss Palmer’s vocals, they aren’t just the cherry on top, they are an integral part of the desert.
The final track, “Transcend”, is a full out instrumental featuring Rune RK. It’s fun, but I think it’s the weakest of the three. It sounds like something I would hear at a dance club and not know when it ended and the next song began.
Final Word: Steve Aoki brings the goods with It’s The End Of The World As We Know It. For being under 20 minutes, he injects everything you could want. You’ll dance, you’ll nod your head, you’ll move your body, and you won’t even realize you’re doing it. Now we just need a full album.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.
The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”
The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.
Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).
The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.
As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.
Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
