January 9, 2026 – 2x-Grammy-nominated artist and producer Steve Aoki is taking fans on a new sonic journey with HiROQUEST 3: Paragon Remixed, a high-energy reinvention of his landmark 10th studio album. Originally released in summer 2025, HiROQUEST 3: Paragon featured collaborations with David Guetta, Ne-Yo, Trippie Redd, Swae Lee, PnB Rock, Lil Jon, and more. The remix LP features 35 reworks from top producers including Laidback Luke, Dani Thorne, Nostalgix, Gammer, and Aoki himself. 

Most notably, HiROQUEST 3: Paragon Remixed features Aoki’s reimagining of Hoobastank’s iconic 2000s hit “The Reason,” in collaboration with Dutch hardstyle duo Sound Rush. “The Reason” earned Grammy nominations for both Song of the Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals upon release, and has since been certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA, with over 1.35 billion streams on Spotify and a music video that has surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube. Celebrating over two decades since its release, “The Reason” continues to connect with both longtime fans and a new generation of listeners. Aoki and Sound Rush have transformed the rock ballad into a festival-ready anthem, giving the song adrenaline-fueled energy for dancefloors. 

“This remix album is about taking HiROQUEST 3: Paragon into another dimension,” shares Steve Aoki. “Each track has been reimagined to push the energy even higher and give fans something totally new to experience. Collaborating with so many incredible artists and DJs made the whole project feel alive from start to finish. I wanted to make this one extra special, so I teamed up with Hoobastank and Sound Rush to rework ‘The Reason.’ We turned it into this massive moment that’s been going off in my sets, and I’m so excited to finally share it with the world.”

Hoobastank adds, “We’ve always been fans of what Steve has done and continues to do. He’s such an iconic DJ and incredible performer. When the opportunity arose to collaborate with him it just seemed like a no brainer to us. Combine that with Sound Rush’s unique style and sound designing talents. It just gave us a rare chance to have one of our songs reimagined and shared with an entirely new audience. One that we honestly never dreamt of reaching.”

Other standout moments on HiROQUEST 3: Paragon Remixed include Aoki and Blasterjaxx’s explosive rework of ‘Heavenly Hell’ featuring Ne-Yo, a fresh take on ‘Turbulence,’ Aoki’s acclaimed collaboration with Laidback Luke and Lil Jon remixed alongside Antoine Delvig, and a brand-new Steve Aoki remix of 2LOT & Aloe Blacc’s ‘Immortal.’ With this remix package, Aoki continues to expand the HiROQUEST universe, fusing global sounds, high-octane EDM, and immersive storytelling, giving fans new ways to experience his music.

The release of HiROQUEST 3: Paragon Remixed arrives as Aoki prepares to hit the road for the recently announced Dim Mak 30th Anniversary Tour, a 2026 North American run celebrating three decades of his trailblazing independent label and creative universe. Marking Phase 1 of the tour, Aoki will headline select dates across major markets including Vancouver, Toronto, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Boston, and Nashville, joined on select shows by a rotating lineup featuring Audien, Frank Walker, Jessica Audiffred, Joyryde, Laidback Luke, Nostalgix, Riot Ten, and Timmy Trumpet. The tour will also include a return to Ultra Music Festival, where Aoki will host a Dim Mak Records 30 Year Anniversary Stage Takeover, along with additional festival appearances. With Phase 2 set to reveal more dates, cities, and artists, the tour and remix package together underscore a full-circle moment for Aoki, celebrating the energy, community, and genre-defying spirit that have defined Dim Mak for 30 years.
