Steve Aoki and Reinier Zonneveld Release 'On My Own'

Steve Aoki and Reinier Zonneveld have officially released “On My Own,” a melodic techno collaboration featuring British vocalist Darla Jade. The single arrived Friday, July 24 via Aoki’s Dim Mak Records, one week after the two producers stunned Tomorrowland with a surprise back to back set on the Dim Mak 30th Anniversary Stage, where the track was premiered in front of thousands. It is one of the more unexpected pairings of the summer: the Las Vegas mainstay who built a career on crossover anthems, and the Dutch live techno specialist behind the Filth on Acid label, meeting somewhere in the middle.

Why Steve Aoki and Reinier Zonneveld Make Sense Together

On paper the two artists occupy different worlds. Aoki is a two time Grammy nominee with nearly 3 billion streams, known for collaborations with BTS, Linkin Park and Daddy Yankee. Zonneveld is one of techno’s most respected live performers, famous for improvising entire sets on hardware and for running Filth on Acid, one of the genre’s most consistent imprints. “On My Own” splits the difference: soaring vocals from Darla Jade, hypnotic synth work and euphoric builds on top of a driving club chassis built for both festival main stages and late nights.

Zonneveld suggested the release is not a one off. “Super excited and happy to bring this surprising collaboration to the table,” he said in the official announcement. “Steve and I have a really good click in the studio, and we’ve recorded some really cool underground tracks together.” That last line is worth noting: there is apparently more unreleased Aoki and Zonneveld material sitting in the vault.

Dim Mak Marked 30 Years on the Tomorrowland Stage

The premiere came during Tomorrowland’s first weekend, when Dim Mak returned to the Belgian festival to host its fifth dedicated stage. The takeover celebrated three decades of the label Aoki founded in 1996, with a lineup that read like a family reunion: Laidback Luke, Chocolate Puma, DVBBS, Kaaze, Quintino and others who have released on the imprint across different eras. Aoki closed the circle by bringing out Zonneveld for the unannounced b2b that produced the weekend’s talking point.

“It was incredible to celebrate 30 years of Dim Mak on one of the biggest stages in the world,” Aoki said. “I’ve been performing at Tomorrowland for 15 years, and it’s become such an important part of both my story and Dim Mak’s. Every year the crowd embraces what we’re building, so we wanted to make this anniversary celebration truly special. Having Reinier join me to premiere our new collaboration made the moment even more unforgettable.”

The single is also the second Tomorrowland premiere to reach streaming platforms this week, after Martin Garrix and U2 released “Fireflies” following its own debut at the festival. Boom has quietly become the launchpad of choice for dance music’s biggest releases this summer, on top of everything else Tomorrowland has been building around the brand.

What Comes Next

The Dim Mak 30 celebration rolls on through 2026 with special events and the ongoing Dim Mak 30 Tour, which continues at Summer Sonic in Tokyo on August 14 before stops in Milwaukee, San Francisco, Minneapolis and EDC Orlando, plus a newly announced headline show at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York on October 24, according to the official press release. Zonneveld keeps a packed live schedule of his own this summer, with festival dates including Creamfields in the UK and Decibel Open Air in Italy.
