Steve Aoki, the 2x GRAMMY-nominated DJ, producer, and global tastemaker, has just dropped his landmark 10th studio album, HiROQUEST 3: Paragon—a sprawling 38-track project out now on all streaming platforms. As the most ambitious entry in his expanding HiROQUEST universe, this deluxe edition of 2024’s Paragon pushes boundaries and genres alike, delivering 22 brand-new tracks that span dance, pop, hip-hop, reggaeton, country, funk, and global fusions.
Leading up to the album, Aoki made history with a first-of-its-kind collectible vinyl release in partnership with Audio Media Grading (AMG)—the collectibles grading company he co-founded—and visual artist PiggyBanx. Each of the 1,000 encapsulated vinyl sets, complete with exclusive trading cards, sold out within hours, turning the album into a tangible piece of music history.
“This album represents the next evolution of everything I’ve been building with HiROQUEST—a global IP that brings together the sounds that inspire me now and my passion for collectible culture,” says Aoki. “It’s about creating community across genres, scenes, and borders.”
Highlights from HiROQUEST 3: Paragon include:
- “Forget Tonight” – a country-dance anthem with Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line, marking Hubbard’s first solo feature.
- “My Life” – a soaring anthem featuring David Guetta, Swae Lee, and the late PnB Rock.
- “Radio” – a genre-defying track with Trippie Redd and Jessica Baio, blending pop-punk and dance energy.
- “I’m Going Out” – a disco-funk collaboration with Zak Abel, Nile Rodgers, Sam Feldt, and Xandra.
- “Subeteme Ahi” – a reggaeton heater with Jowell y Randy.
- “Corridos y Alcohol” – a bold move into regional Mexican music with Oscar Maydon.
- “REPLAY” – a sleek Latin-pop banger with Kenia OS.
- “Rio Amazing” – a Brazilian funk party-starter with Ludmilla.
- “Thanks To You” – a euphoric dance-pop closer with Jamis and Bonn.
With HiROQUEST 3, Aoki continues building the expansive mythology launched with 2022’s HiROQUEST: Genesis and 2023’s HiROQUEST 2: Double Helix. The trilogy now spans music, collectibles, graphic novels, and a devoted fan-driven universe—marking a major milestone in Aoki’s career as both an artist and multimedia innovator.
