Song of the day is "Church of Noise (Acustic Version)"
IT'S OLD! Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo! The man with the mask that comes from Bassano
Today I'll tell you about a great personality from Bassano del Grappa. A small town becomes the Rifo Bob has always been very active in the field of art, went close soon. Ever since 2007, has been releasing music under the name "Bloody Beetroots", quickly becoming - through word of mouth spontaneous international network of blogs - one of the most popular producers of electro-punk-dance scene. His strength, in addition to the firepower of music, is the conceptual approach and rigorous Rifo has the "make" art. From the choice of going out in public only ever masked (in the early DJ sets with his partner Tommy Tea defilatosi then). The smoothie danzabilità and noise has rapidly come the sounds of Bob the ears of the likes of Steve Aoki (which has been put under contract to his label Dim Mak) and Tommy Lee of Motley Crue matterista former, which has often accompanied live. Both are among the first followers of the "Church of Noise" philosophical movement founded by Rifo diffonre for the crossover between the arts, first of all his favorite (after music): photography. Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo decided to delight us with an alternative in acoustic version of that bomb in Church of Noise. Given the generally very similar, I asked about the DJ and producer Barbar! and today gives us the opportunity to benefit from it all.

How the fuck does he make those SKREEWERPPZZZZBLAAW noises? GarageBand? America's dubstep don steps away from the Dark Side on this fizzy, party-ready single. (It will still probably scare your parents, though.) Don't believe the hype: Skrillex didn't set out to wrestle dubstep from its brainy dub-reggae roots and warp it into an aggro dance-metal hybrid that online haters call "brostep." "I thought I'd play the Echo in L.A. once a month for 150 people," says Sonny Moore, 23, who quit fronting screamo band From First to Last to focus on beatmaking. Instead, Moore has played to thousands almost daily since dropping his first LP, Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, last year on Big Beat and his buddy Deadmau5's label.
But he's not surprised by the rapid ascent of dubstep in the United States. "It's so fun," he says. "It just lets so many people in and there's nothing about it that seems shoved down anybody's throats. You can connect with it culturally because it brings so many different types of people together, from ravers to hip-hop people to whatever people like to dance." He's bracing himself for what will happen when the music fully crosses over in the mainstream, though. "There will come a time when it will be watered down and sensationalized like everything else. That's not a bad thing, every type of music goes through that. But right now, for how big it is, if you turn on Kiss FM, there's no real dustup on the radio right now."
Keeping up with the dubstep world has become overwhelming these days with millions of Djs trying to make a name for themselves and of course the massive amount of electronic adaptation attempts by traditional artists and established stars. However, if there is only one DJ that you keep up with in 2012 than it might as well be Skrillex.
Bangarang EP
The album takes a sharp turn into experimentation starting on "Bangarang" and really takes off into the unknown after that. "Bangarang" is exactly what the dubstep world asked for. A mainstream radio hit that is accessible to the masses and still unique and intriguing enough to appeal to the die-hard, more technical fans of Skrillex and electronic music in general. This track also introduces us to some samples of Sirah, an up and coming female rap/pop talent from Los Angeles. Sirah truly shines on "Kyoto" where she is able to lay down some full bars and present her ambitious delivery style.
My favorite song from the EP, and by far the most experimental, is "Breakn' a Sweat" featuring the surviving members of The Doors, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore. The track is part of a project knows as Re: Generation.
I also wanted to allude to the upcoming LP Voltage. It was talked about heavily a few months ago but it appears to have lost some steam recently. I wonder if Voltage sort of morphed and dwarfed its way in being Bangarang. Perhaps the rumors of A-list collaborations like Pretty Lights and Nero are holding up the creative process. Maybe he is just taking his time in order to make sure his first full length cut is a fuckin banger! Or the more likely chance that Hollywood politics are slowing down the release of the records just to figure out more ways to make money off the deal.
