“The Baddest Man In Electronic Music” aka The Bloody Beetroots aka Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo reveals his latest collaboration titled "Clever" featuring UK punk/ grime act PENGSHUi.
Inspired by his lifelong love of punk rock and comics, Rifo first introduced The Bloody Beetroots in 2006, offering music fans an intense sound that mixes classical training and a passion for electronic music into an edgy rock-meets-dance hybrid.
After the critically acclaimed debut LP Romborama, featuring the iconic “Warp 1.9” with Steve Aoki, dropped in 2009, the second LP Hide in 2013 successfully migrated into crossover territory with collaborations with rock and alternative icons like Paul McCartney and Tommy Lee. By 2017’s The Great Electronic Swindle, Rifo continued the electronic-rock narrative with guest spots from Perry Farrell, Jet, Gallows, Deap Vally and more.
Two additional EPs, 2019’s Heavy (with Zhu and Dr. Fresch) and 2021’s The Catastrophists (with Tom Morello) have continued to push The Bloody Beetroots forward, while appearing in games like MXGP Pro, Madden NFL, Asphalt, FIFA, Need for Speed, UFC, RiMS Racing and commercials by BMW, Fiat, Lancôme, Ducati and many others as well as live shows around the globe including appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Primavera, Pinkpop, Fuji Rock and more.
About The Bloody Beetroots
The Bloody Beetroots is the creation of Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo. Inspired by his lifelong love of punk rock and comics, Rifo unleashed The Bloody Beetroots in the early 2000s and has since crafted an intense sound that mixes his classical training, his punk rock obsession and his passion for electronic music into an edgy rock-meets-dance hybrid sound.
The Bloody Beetroots first exploded on the scene via his critically acclaimed debut LP ‘Romborama,’ feat. the iconic “Warp 1.9” with Steve Aoki, both of which helped launch the American EDM boom at the end of the 2000s. His sophomore LP, ‘Hide,’ featured crossover tracks with rock and alt icons like Paul McCartney, Tommy Lee and more. Rifo’s third LP, ‘The Great Electronic Swindle’ (2017), continued the electronic-rock narrative via collaborations with Perry Farrell, Jet, Gallows, Deap Vally and more. In 2019, The Bloody Beetroots released the ‘Heavy’ EP, which saw Rifo revisiting his classic electro style and featured collaborations with Zhu and Dr. Fresch, as well as three new solo originals. 2021 saw Bob pair with Tom Morello to release The Catastrophists EP. And Bob provided the entire 16 track soundtrack to the RiMS Racing video game. 10 classics and 6 brand new tracks that have now been released as the Official RiMS Racing Soundtrack.
