Nicky Romero has progressed from being a young, musical wunderkind to an absolute force to be reckoned with as a DJ, producer, and mogul whose label is at the forefront of modern electronic dance music. Steve Aoki has been making waves (and smashing cakes) in the industry for more than two decades, becoming one of the most successful producers and music executives of commercial dance music.

Steve Aoki and Nicky Romero are at it again with a fresh collaboration, this time on their new track “Be Somebody” featuring Kiiara. Both Romero and Aoki’s dynamic styles are evident in the track’s electro-influenced melody, progressive breakdown and funky basslines, all complemented by popular singer’s Kiiara’s pristine vocals. The empowering lyrics and overall inspiring feeling of the track portray the true essence of dance music’s ability to positively affect people’s lives, and no one is more aware of that than two of the scene’s most prolific artists. “Be Somebody” follows Romero and Aoki’s recent remix swap of their respective tracks “You on Me” and “Lie to Me,” a promising start to what will hopefully be a long history of collaborations.
