The party was hosted at the home of billionaire supermarket tycoon Ron Burkle, who has long been a prominent fundraiser for political and social causes. While his house is surely massive, only 100 people were invited (including fellow musicians like Akon, Kaskade, and reportedly even Fred Durst), making for a much more intimate event.

Between an auction and donations pledged during the event, Aoki and his collaborators were able to raise $500,000, which will go to the electronic musician’s AOKI Foundation, which “has a primary goal of supporting organizations in the brain science and research areas.” Last night’s event isn’t the first time Aoki and Blink have worked together, though this didn’t involve any time in the studio. Last year, the DJ and producer remixed their song “Bored To Death” from their album GRAMMY-nominated No. 1 album California.
