He always seems to have quite the amount of ppl behind the booth with him. When he was at Circa and again on last years boat cruise, the area behind him was packed.

Of course it's packed! Everyone knows where the free booze is! |

I think you should only ask for what you actually require.
These guys get paid insanely well to show up and play music for a few hours. It's a sweet gig. If you want a few drinks and some snacks, fair play. But requesting socks & underwear, a specific type of car to arrive in, mouthwash, 30+ comp tickets, multiple bottles of fine champagne, etc, is just so excessive and quite frankly, something I'd expect from Brittney Spears.
Example of a rider I can fully get on board with:
MATHIAS KADEN
STAGE: Enough space inside the dj both.
EQUIPMENT:
2 x Technics 1210 or 1200
2 x Pioneer CDJ 2000
1 Allen & Heath Xone 92 mixer
1 light on the table
HOSPITALITY:
1 towel
3 litres of mineral water (not sparkling)
1 bottle of Havanna Club rum
2 bottle of Ginger Ale or Coca Cola |

| The big guys live lives of excess. You don't get that big by staying humble. |

| It's hard to imagine living out of a carry on from night to night with no idea what you're getting into. Most of the time the on the riders isn't met and dj's know that but they put it there hoping to get some of it. I booked a number of big name dj's many years ago and was always disappointed that I never came across any crazy riders. |

Posted on Aoki's site with regards to his leaked rider.
http://steveaoki.com/blog/life-on-t...-my-tour-rider/
| quote: | My rider is now public information and seems to be the talk on my Twitter timeline so I’ll break down some of the more juicier bits of it since people are asking.
I travel with a small crew. Usually I am with my road manager, videographer and now sometimes a photographer as well so at any given show I am with 2 to 3 other people that I have to take care of.
Our lives are dedicated to living on the road and part of living on the road is learning how to travel efficiently. In most cases we all just travel with hand carry on and limit what we are bringing so it’s easier to get on flights and be more flexible with space so we don’t have to always travel in vans (because of our luggage). In those cases, whatever the promoter brings to us becomes our outfit for the day. Socks and underwear are shared between me and my crew. The large black V-neck t-shirts are actually for my tour manager. Nothing against him but I’m not a V-neck kinda guy! For the rest, let’s just go down the list…
Hospitality Requirements:
The Listerine because you can’t bring liquids with you on flights. We end up usually getting $100 cash dinners and fending for ourselves because each person has their own preferences to what they want to eat. For example, one guy in my squad hates organic food and is a McDonalds & Taco Bell man so that’s where we go to take care of him. In the end, the local organic grass food that I prefer doesn’t always get dished up our way, but I put it in there hoping that it does because I’d rather eat at those spots cuz they rule (#SupportOrganic)! Hot Green Tea is the period and I drink it almost every night before a show. One large cheese pizza is for my crew…too many calories for me. One whole lemon, one twig of ginger, and one bottle of organic honey is for my throat cuz I tend to lose my voice. Ok, 4 Odwallas is pushing it, I don’t really need this. In a way, writing this all out is good for my efficiency as I was stating earlier. Organic fruits is my sugar intake. The meat and cheese wraps is for my crew. Two bottles of Cristal is definitely a ballin’ move. Do I need it? No, but if I can get it…sweet!
The rest of the rider you can see for yourself. As for the “miscellaneous” items, the first time I saw the director’s chair on the rider was when I saw the blog that put up my rider in the first place (unnecessary management decision). The local grass is for someone else in my crew (another unnecessary management decision) and both have been deleted off the rider but I am a fan of wheat grass shots. I should probably add wheat in the front of grass from now on to be more clear. There it is for all to judge. |

why explain? just own it bro.
aoki's rider is nowhere near the worst I've seen, especially for someone as big as he is now. lots of people ask for clothing. first time i saw that years ago was BT. he had tshirts, socks & underwear. it makes perfect sense when you think about..why carry that with you? wear it and leave it in the next city for a salvation army or something.
ever since this rider thing has been going around the net the last few days I've been trying to find a copy of Grayarea's old rider. it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. it was like a page and a half long and had the most ridiculous, outlandish things in it. Llama's small french polynesian boys, hand held vacuum (to be used in conjunction with item 6, which was the llama)
amazing. |
