"Steve Jobs tributes may occasionally seem like gimmicks, attempts to ride a trend. But electronic musician Steve Aoki's new track, called \"Steve Jobs,\" is an homage to a man he calls a \"revolutionary.\" \n\"Whether I\u2019m producing music or I\u2019m playing out, whether I\u2019m connecting with my fans through social media, without Steve Job\u2019s creations, it would be a completely different place for me,\" he says. \nThe track \"Steve Jobs\" was already written when the co-founder of Apple died on Oct. 5, 2011. However, Aoki calls the decision to devote the track to the late Jobs \"an epiphany,\" mainly because he's never devoted a track to anyone before. \n\"I buy probably four or five laptops a year because I\u2019m DJing and destroying my computers when I\u2019m playing,\" Aoki tells Mashable. \"My first computer was an Apple computer. I have an iPad, an iPhone \u2014 I\u2019m an Apple geek. I love Steve Jobs and what he\u2019s done for the future.\"\nSteve Aoki's new video for the track, which appears on his album Wonderland, shows footage of a recent performance at New York City's Roseland Ballroom, to be released as a concert film later this year. The video demonstrates the relationship between performer and attendee, what Aoki calls \"a synergy and a language.\" But he acknowledges that the connection must extend beyond the confines of a concert hall. \nCiting Twitter, Instagram and YouTube \u2014 where he constantly posts video updates \u2014 Aoki attempts to maintain this important bond, and credits his fans with his success. He also acknowledges Jobs, not with creating the technology, but with making it easy to use.\n\"From producing music to playing shows, and also connecting with fans and keeping it as convenient as possible. What he did was make it more accessible,\" he says. \nMashable is exclusively premiering the video for \"Steve Jobs\" by Steve Aoki ft. Angger Dimas.
