Rifoki releases new video and to perform in LA

Rifoki have just unleashed their terrifying video for “Zombie Attack,” one of the brutal tracks from their debut EP, Sperm Donor. Rifoki is a new project from prominent DJ and Dim Mak Records founder Steve Aoki and his partner-in-crime Sir Cornelius Bob Rifo, the mastermind behind The Bloody Beetroots.

“Zombie Attack” has snarling guitars, pummeling drums, and manic vocals that are matched by equally intense visuals in the video. Flesh-eating humans, crashed military planes, and buildings set ablaze are just some of the clip’s striking images. The video’s stylized, grainy look and the iconic typeface used pay homage to classic zombie flicks.

“I've always been Inspired by George Romero and all the 70' american horror movies like Dawn of the Dead,” The video’s director, Konrad Palkiewicz, explains. “When Bob told me about a song called ‘Zombie Attack’ I realized instantly that was the song for my next video.”

Though Aoki and Rifo are best known as globe-trotting, party-starting DJ’s and producers, they both grew up immersed in their local hardcore scenes. True to the spirit of punk, Sperm Donor was written and recorded spontaneously in just 5 says. Each track is a short, fast, and loud burst of raw energy that will leave you foaming at the mouth for more.

Don’t miss Rifoki’s live debut April 24th at The Palladium in Hollywood, CA!
