A photographer who has been repeatedly mistaken for Steve Aoki decided to impersonate the DJ at Perth's Stereosonic festival.

Jarred Seng hired a make-up artist to make him look like a dead ringer of electro-house producer Steve Aoki for EDM festival.

He fooled festival-goers in Perth for three hours straight, as he posed for endless selfies, got chased every step of the way and crowd-surfed during what was meant to be his own set.

Watch Fake Steve Aoki hit Sterosonic below:

Australian-based photographer Seng said: "Yeah, so I get mistaken for Steve Aoki a lot. Especially as a photographer working in the music industry. It's been a weekly thing for the past five years... at music festivals, bars, on Instagram."

"So the other day when I saw that New York catcall video I wondered what would happen if I did the same thing... but as Steve. At Stereosonic. Where he was headlining," he added.

Despite the apparent disruption of having two Aoki's on site, the DJ's set apparently went off without a hitch

"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 recently 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."
