Steve Aoki and Bloody Beetroot Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo have revealed their punk rock side project titled 'Rifoki'.
The electro maestros have made a 180 from their current careers to take on the side project, but it should come as no surprise to long-time Aoki fans who, as a college student, sang in band Machine Kills and threw DIY shows in his loungeroom.
Speaking with NOW Magazine, Aoki confessed of his college days, "We had everyone from Dillinger Escape Plan to Isis to At the Drive-In play there... It’s not very well known, but Bob and I are really into that type of music."
Rifoki are currently streaming two tracks from their forthcoming EP on their MySpace page.
