“An imaginative electric orchestration of reverberating synth pop,” is how listeners best describe Los Angeles based musician, NK-Riot. Conjured and critiqued throughout the winter of 2013, NK-Riot has evolved to what can only be referred to as dark and revolutionary cyber-grind music.
By combining dance-punk, and chip-tune noise such as, computer glitches, dial tones, and sub-Phatty rhythms, NK-Riot produces a unique analog experience.
NK-Riot’s recent acclaims flourish among LA’s underground, as well as the U.K. The Self titled Ep, “NKRIOT”, Released in Fall of 2014, has made it’s rounds on both grassroots compilation radio, and internet podcast, such as, 88.9 KXLU, 88.7 KSPC, and KSCR Podcast. In Early 2015 “LP DISCO 83” a single from the Self Titled Ep, released a music video with guest appearance cameo by Jeremy Ruzumna, Keyboard Player of Fitz and The Tantrums, and also featuring the historic 6th Street bridge in Boyle Heights, LA.
The titled Ep, “Radio Walk”, featuring hit single “Hey It Ya”, has been in rotation on 94.7 Saint FM, along with the full length debut album, “Origins of Evolution.” The LP demonstrates the beginning of a new musical direction; one that stems from the roots of funk, experimental rock, break-beat, fusion, trance, and dance.
In addition to the raw eccentricities of this live solo-project, is the anonymity, in hopes to preserve the quality and focus of the music.
