"I don't know, maybe I'm being too hard on myself but I've got to be one of the most criticised DJs out there," Aoki told Gigwise. "At least I feel that way. There are certain things that obviously bring the target to me - things like caking people at my shows, and there's a whole conversation piece about that."
Watch our full interview above, with Aoki discussing taking risks, ignoring the backlash, playing for his fans and progressing forward into the future as an artist.
