For what seems like an eternity there's been a constant in our lives come the end of the British Summer - Creamfields. The Bank Holiday festival has always been the cornerstone of every dance music fan's calender and the success of the gathering continues to gather apace - it's currently on target to sell out for the sixth consecutive year. 2013 has seen the announcement of some pretty spectacular news surrounding the new production put into the main stage, so in honor of that we decided to get a mix form a DJ who understand the full force of the intensity Creamfields represents - Steve Aoki.

The American superstar has a reputation for excess (crowd surfing, cake throwing and that rider) but it's only allayed to the manner in which he relays this knack to clubbers, delivering sets that traverse house, electro, techno and dubstep for full frontal explosions of sound. This set showcases that full throttle hedonism, recorded when he made his Cream debut back in may this year.

Also spotlighted in this week's episode are the following five events:

Under & Gorilla present Radio Slave @ Gorilla

Cream Ibiza @ Privilege
