New York, NY (Top40 Charts) STEVE AOKI's conceptual video series continues with the release of "Neon Future" featuring Empire of the Sun.
The title track from part 1 of the two-part album NEON FUTURE features Luke Steele, frontman of award- winning Australian duo Empire Of The Sun, whose debut track "Walking On A Dream" brought the pair international acclaim and launched them into the spotlight in 2008.
The video itself sees Luke Steele singing to a decadent, high-end dining hall full of statuesque bystanders until AOKI crashes the party, peasantry and laborers in tow, bringing everyone to life. The scene then evolves into a futuristic masquerade meets full-blown rave in a video full of verve and color.

Directed by up-and-coming writer and director David Yarovesky and produced by Cary Granat of Scream 2 and Scream 3 fame, the film was dubbed by Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn as "the most horrifying and disgusting love story ever." The Hive is scheduled for an autumn release.
