Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo takes the stage at New York City's Webster Hall to debut his SBCR moniker and brand new EP.

On Friday, March 20th, Rifo will transform Webster Hall with a hellfire blast of aggressive, grinding electro -- the type that diehard fans have come to expect from the high priest of the Church of Noise. Dancing Astronaut and Webster Hall have teamed up to give 3 lucky fans and their guests VIP access to the exclusive DJ set.
Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo of The Bloody Beetroots returns with ‘The Grid’
SBCR is Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo's newest identity, a DJ-focused foil to the rock-influenced, live electronic Bloody Beetroots that he fronts. He's also on the verge of releasing an album's worth of gritty electro under the new moniker SBCR & Friends, Vol 1. The first new track to appear is SBCR's "The Grid." An over-compressed assault at 130 bpm, Rifo's return is also a defibrillator shock on a dormant genre. Visceral and heavily-filtered, the Bloody Beetroots front man proves he hasn't missed a step in the year's since 2012's Hide, nor has he fallen victim to following any of today's trends. This is 2009, "WARP 1.9" era Rifo at his best -- on the label that he's called home for most of his career, Steve Aoki's Dim Mak. The 6-track EP will feature hand-picked collabs with Razihel, Moon Bounce and Eliza Bee & His Majesty Andre and will arrive on March 17th via Dim Mak Records.
The Bloody Beetroots teams up with classic rock legends for new album ‘Hide’
Several weeks before Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, better known as The Bloody Beetroots, is due to release his second studio LP, HIDE, the album is available for a full stream on Rolling Stone's website. With guest appearances from talkbox legend Peter Frampton on "The Beat," Sir Paul McCartney on "Out of Sight," and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, the album serves as a symbol of not only rip-roaring electro house of the day, but also its ability to cross generations and genres. Listen to the full stream below.
The Bloody Beetroots return with “Rocksteady”
Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo is back with the same aggressive, punk rock meets dance music aesthetic we've come to love from the Italian producer. Ever since the Cornelius EP, Rifo and The Bloody Beetroots (either as a DJ set or as Death Crew 77) have always presented themselves as an electronic, punk art movement - more than just big drops and tasty breakdowns. They continue that trend with "Rocksteady" a teeth rattling, gritty, electro-house track whose accompanying video is as balls to the wall as it's synth work. So throw on your Venom masks, turn the volume on your stereo up to 11 and celebrate the return of The Bloody Beetroots.
