Rifoki is the New Punk Hardcore project of Steve Aoki & Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, better known as The Bloody Beetroots. Recorded in Italy with Giulio Favero (ZU), Franz (Il Teatro Degli Orrori) & Rocco Rampino (La Quiete, The Death Of Anna Karina), Rifoki is the maximum level of expression of a lifestyle that has brought them to be two of the most recognized DJs & producers in the world.

But before they were DJs & producers, before electro, & before the rocked the clubs, Steve Aoki & Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo were punk rockers.

Rifoki is a return to their roots: hardcore punk, pure & simple. The EP features artwork by Mark McCoy, a visual artist & vocalist for numerous punk & metal bands including Das Oath, also part of the Dim Mak family. Out March 9th via Dim Mak.
