About “Neon Future IV”

Steve Aoki announced the album in an interview for EDM.com at the end of January 2019.

It’s a continuation of Neon Future III and will be coming out in 2019. It’s another album of mega collaborations that I’ve been working on in the past few years.

Neon Future IV is Aoki’s sixth studio pop-centered electronic album and his largest work in the Neon Future series. The album is packed with “mega-collaborations” with DJs like Alan Walker, Alok, Timmy Trumpet and Slushii; Dutch bands Showtek and Bassjackers; Tory Lanez, Mike Shinoda, Lights, Desiigner, AGNEZ MO and Zooey Deschanel amongst many more.

Steve collaborated with Lay Zhang, and will.i.am for “Love You More,” Travis Barker and Global Dan for “Halfway Dead” and Latin pop sensation Maluma for the release of “Maldad."

Like other albums in the series, he incorporated leading minds of today. The 17th track “Homo Deus,” is named after the book Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, and features its bestselling writer, historian, and philosopher, Yuval Noah Harari, also known for Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century.

The record includes Kita Sovee in the intro and outro, otherwise known as the character modeled after Aoki from his Neon Future comic series with Impact Theory that explores the world of techno-optimism.
