Celebrating Artists With The #AokiChallenge

Earlier this month, we launched the #AokiChallenge, a celebration of emerging artists on our platform in collaboration with renowned DJ and producer Steve Aoki. This campaign invited creators to showcase their original music for a chance to gain recognition from Aoki and his label, Dim Mak Records.

The #AokiChallenge ran for the month of October,  and the winner will be announced in November. The winner’s track is set to be released under Aoki's label. This partnership encouraged artists to showcase their creativity on SoundCloud and connect with the wider creator community.

In the words of Aoki himself, “I don’t think there is a better platform that comes closer to discovering new artists.”

Experience music on a new level with Voice Notes exclusively on SoundCloud—where artists bring their creative journeys to life. 

This month, artists like San Holo, Jelly Roll, Zomboy, Phantogram (full album) and more shared the stories behind their latest tracks, giving fans a front-row seat to the inspiration and personal details behind their music.
