Steve Aoki and Travis Barker have joined forces to make your messages a whole lot louder.
Released yesterday on Messenger were two new soundmojis from the Dim Mak boss and the famed Blink-182 drummer. Aoki has soundtracked the ? emoji with a custom-made airhorn while Barker has unsurprisingly taken on the "drum with drumsticks" emoji with a short drum solo.
For those unfamiliar with Messenger's soundmojis, they are exactly what you think they would be: an emoji paired with sound. Users can pop them into conversations on the platform to add audio to their messages.
In addition to the soundmojis, later in the month Aoki and Barker will be immortalized in an animated sticker pack featuring the duo that can be used in Messenger conversations. A press release shared with EDM.com revealed that the images will be inspired by their performances and that a sticker depicting Aoki's signature cake toss is included.
