Two-time Grammy-nominated DJ\/producer Steve Aoki, alongside rising fellow DJ\/producer\u00a0Frank Walker, and pop singer-songwriter, MTV Push\/Vevo LIFT Artist,\u00a0AJ Mitchell\u00a0drop a refreshing high-energy summer collaboration\u00a0\u201cImagine.\u201d\u00a0This new single calls us to\u00a0‘imagine’\u00a0everything that comes with a relationship, blending Aoki\u2019s signature electro-pop sound with Walker\u2019s dance-pop and Mitchell\u2019s smooth breezy vocals, and is set to save the dancefloor this summer.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Aoki, Walker and Mitchell seamlessly blend their talents to create\u00a0\u201cImagine\u201d,\u00a0a high-energy track that explores the highs and lows when imagining love. With catchy lyrics and a feel-good melody that combines underlying piano chords with sonic and techno beats, it transports you to your most desired state of love and the emotions felt in that ideal state. The chorus echoes \u201cI want it with you\u201d knowing that each listener can visualize their love and feel their own euphoria at the beat drop. The melody continually grows in strength as the lyrics confirm the power love can have in any situation…\u201cif you imagine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

“This track with Frank & AJ is something we poured our heart & souls into, and I’m so excited for it to be out just in time for Summer,\u201d said\u00a0Aoki. \u201cThe lyrics are something everyone can relate to, and the beat is something everyone can dance to. I wish we could bring it to you live in-person, but we have some special plans regardless to bring this to the world.”<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine feels like such a game-changing song for me personally,\u201d said\u00a0Walker. \u201cCreating a record alongside Steve has been incredible, he\u2019s a legend in the dance scene and being a part of his creative process is unlike anything I\u2019ve done before. Taking our production and adding AJ Mitchell into the mix took the record to a new level, he\u2019s such a talented artist with a crazy voice. The three of us were able to come together with our own unique sounds to something truly special on Imagine. I can\u2019t wait for the world to hear this one!\u201d<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m very excited to be a part of such a fun record as \u201cImagine,\u201d said\u00a0Mitchell. \u201cSteve has been one of my favourite people to work with. Him and Frank are both super talented and this is an awesome track you won\u2019t be able to stop dancing to.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
