Celebrating the 10th<\/sup> Anniversary of their iconic album The Black Parade<\/em>, My Chemical Romance\u00a0contacted\u00a0Dim Mak label head Steve Aoki to remix their 2006 single ‘Welcome To The Black Parade’.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Keeping the timeless vocals of frontman Gerard Way intact, Aoki breathes new life into the Emo classic by injecting his signature electro flair in a flawless amalgamation of new-school and old-school. To coincide with the release, Aoki and Way are live-streaming a head-to-head battle in the multiplayer shooting game Overwatch on Twitch, the world\u2019s premier online portal for live gaming. The stream will take place on Aoki\u2019s birthday (30th November), making it a celebration trifecta where the victor will win $10,000 to donate to the charity of his choice.<\/p>\n

To this day, My Chemical Romance\u2019s breakout album ‘The Black Parade’ remains an archetype of millennial rock music. The record, which NME Magazine lauded as \u201cThe Sgt Pepper of the Emo Generation,\u201d reached #1 on Billboard\u2019s Rock Albums chart in 2006 before receiving a Grammy nomination for its limited edition box set. The LP went on to be certified Platinum and spawned the ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ single, which followed suit by selling over 1,000,000 copies. The track was eventually named one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll, among other major accolades.<\/p>\n

Steve Aoki, whose sonic roots emanate from punk music, is no stranger to remixing massive rock and roll songs. In August, he released a stellar rework of Blink-182\u2019s\u00a0‘Bored to Death’ before performing the track live on MTV\u2019s brand new ‘Wonderland’ series. He has also worked alongside Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, and Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun. Aoki enjoyed a prolific summer that saw him release his Netflix original documentary ‘I\u2019ll Sleep When I\u2019m Dead’ and his momentous ^ EP, which earned praise from Harper\u2019s Bazaar, The Wall Street Journal, and many more. Additionally, his single with Boehm featuring Walk The Moon ‘Back 2 U’ has been streamed over 28 million\u00a0times on Spotify. Moreover, Aoki celebrated the 20th Anniversary of his iconic brand Dim Mak by throwing official events in 20 global hotspots over the course of 2016. Turning back the clock to the glory days of emo, he remixes ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ in typical larger-than-life Aoki fashion.<\/p>\n
