Steve Aoki and Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo are… Rifoki
Rifoki is the new hardcore punk project of Steve Aoki and Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, better known as The Bloody Beetroots. From the PR machine:
Before they were DJs and producers, before electro, and before they rocked the clubs, Steve Aoki and Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo were punk rockers. Rifoki is the maximum level of expression of a lifestyle that has brought them to be two of the most recognised DJs and producers in the world.
And for your ummm, listening “pleasure” a track off their forthcoming EP, due out March 9th on Dim Mak Records. Track download link after the jump…
Pretty shit I think… Sure, you can be influenced and/or inspired by the hardcore/punk scene etc. which can be seen in the type of electrotrash house music these two create (which I love btw…), but it doesn’t necessarily mean that your love/skill will translate over to another performance medium. Leave it to the masters I say:
Enough said really…

All the music/videos that we post up here are only done so out of love and respect for the artists. If you truly dig what's been posted, give it your upmost support. Buy the music, go to the artist's shows and support them. Fark! You'll probably even see us there! Seriously, your conscience will love you for it!

Haha Refused. Aoki loves those guys too. I always thought the intro guitar riff of this song was highly similar to one by Tomahawk. And how funny was Aoki thinking he was a screeching hardcore singer playing with a live band at his DJ set gig.

Too much “WAH!” from Aoki that night… He’s not quite cool/talented enough to bridge that type of musical gap.

Yeah the lack of a band behind him didn’t help any gap bridging
