A Web3 Celebration Unlike Any Other

Returning for its third consecutive year, Deadfellaz Infected has expanded its digital footprint like never before, culminating in a week-long extravaganza that marries cutting-edge blockchain technology with groundbreaking artistry. This celebration, a spotlight on the immense talent thriving within the web3 environment, was grander this year with both an In-Real-Life (IRL) event at Oshi Gallery in Melbourne, Australia, and a Decentraland-based Metaverse party sponsored by MetaMask.

The Double Dose of Celebrations

Launching on October 28th, the IRL gallery at Oshi in Melbourne opened its doors to the public for an entire week culminating on Halloween. The digital realm was not left behind; a Metaverse event in Decentraland was rolled out from October 30th to November 6th.

Highlights from Decentraland

• NFT Gallery: In an intricate virtual environment, 19 dazzling NFT artworks were displayed, each one carefully curated to exemplify the merger of art and technology.
• Candy Quest: The event incorporated gamification elements. Attendees embarked on a quest to gather candies, making the experience interactive and rewarding.
• Mint Special Rewards: Unique digital keepsakes could be minted by attendees, symbolizing their participation in this landmark web3 event.

The Heart of Infected Season 3: Artist Collaboration

Deadfellaz Infected thrives on collaborative creativity. Every Halloween season, artists come together to ‘infect’ each other’s work. They produce original pieces inspired by the signature Deadfellaz characters, weaving in elements like anime, punk, horror, and video games. Over the years, renowned artists like ThankyouX, Stephy Fung, and Killer Acid have contributed their genius to this ongoing project.

The Special Sauce: Token Grades and Drops

In a fresh twist this year, each participating artist generated three different token grades for their artwork: Fresh, Damaged, and Rotten. These tokens become unique collectibles, and Deadfellaz 10K holders stand a chance to own these rare pieces through random drops.

Meet The Artists: A League of Extraordinary Talent

This year’s roster includes 19 gifted artists with works sold via Foundation’s ‘Worlds’ function. From animations to unique pieces, the diversity of the art is astounding.

Boasting a 77 million average monthly reach across all his platforms, 2x-Grammy-nominated music producer, artist, fashion designer, entrepreneur and NFT visionary Steve Aoki is one of the most successful cross-genre artists in the world. A Guinness World Record holder for the “Most Traveled Musician in a Single Calendar Year,” Aoki has performed at nearly every top festival around the world, including Coachella, Ultra Music Festival, Lollapalooza, Fuji Rock Festival, Tomorrowland and Electric Daisy Carnival.  Since the release of his 2012 debut solo album, Wonderland, which earned him his first Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronica Album, Aoki has collaborated with an impressive list of varied artists, including BTS, Maluma, Snoop Dogg, Linkin Park, blink-182, One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Uzi Vert, 2 Chainz and Daddy Yankee, on top of  having released three Platinum singles, six Gold singles, and over ten Top 10 self-produced radio records. After unveiling four Neon Future albums, the most recent being Neon Future IV in 2020, Aoki’s next album is due later this year featuring the dynamic alt-rock single, “KULT,” alongside grandson and Jasiah. Aoki approaches each new endeavor with the same sense of dedication he’s put into his past achievements, including his critically-acclaimed 2019 memoir BLUE: The Color of Noise and THE AOKI FOUNDATION, which he founded in 2012 to support organizations in brain science and its research. His influential record label Dim Mak celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2021, which is known for being a launching pad to the careers of prominent acts like Bloc Party, The Chainsmokers, Bloody Beetroots and The Kills.
