One year after their explosive debut collaboration, dance music heavyweights Steve Aoki and Gabry Ponte reunite to unleash their new single “Stewpid” on Armada Music.
Channeling festival-season energy 365 days a year, “Stewpid” is an unapologetically upbeat dancefloor anthem built on adrenaline and pure fun. Luscious dance-pop vocals glide over smooth breakbeats, weaving nostalgic undertones into a driving four-to-the-floor rhythm that’s as uplifting as it is infectious.
“Gabry and I always have a blast together,” says Steve Aoki. “Last year’s collab lit up dancefloors, and when our paths crossed again, we knew we had to run it back. Stewpid is pure fun, high-energy chaos.”
In today’s hyper-curated, Insta-worthy era, “Stewpid” is a reminder that dance music is rooted in unfiltered joy—those spontaneous, unforgettable moments when you lose yourself to the beat and create memories that last a lifetime.
Gabry Ponte recalls how the track’s early demos immediately sparked a core summer memory: “That sunny, euphoric energy instantly brought me back to the night Steve and I shared the stage at Praja in Gallipoli. Letting loose, soaking up the crowd’s energy, and feeling dance music in its purest form.”
Adding: “I’m stoked for the release of my new collab with Steve! Working with him last year was an absolute blast. We poured our hearts into this new track, and I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be lit!”
If anyone can ignite dancefloors worldwide, it’s Steve Aoki and Gabry Ponte. Two-time Grammy-nominated DJ, producer, fashion designer, and entrepreneur Steve Aoki has become a global icon of electronic music. Known for his serotonin-surging live performances, the Dim Mak label boss is a mainstage staple at Tomorrowland, Coachella, and beyond, while also boasting an impressive studio catalog of collaborations with David Guetta, AFROJACK, Armin van Buuren, Kid Cudi, and Linkin Park.
Of the same legendary caliber is Gabry Ponte. As a founding member of Eiffel 65—the group behind the Grammy-nominated classic “Blue (Da Ba Dee)”—he has amassed over 6 billion streams and delivered blockbuster collaborations with Tiësto, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and more. 2025 has already been a record-breaking year for Italy’s highest-streamed DJ/producer, from leading San Marino to the Eurovision Song Contest grand finale, to becoming the first DJ to headline Milan’s San Siro Stadium with a sold-out crowd of 56,000 fans.
With “Stewpid”, Steve Aoki and Gabry Ponte prove once again that when two of dance music’s most influential forces collide, the result is nothing short of electrifying.
