NKRIOT, Virtual Climax Recording (V.C.R.)
NKRIOT, Virtual Climax Recording (V.C.R.)

NEW YORK (PRWEB) May 25, 2018 -- Exhilarating. Ebullient. Seismic. The music of NKRIOT is powerfully dynamic in ways both unexpected and satisfying. Virtual Climax Recording (V.C.R.) (NKRIOT Productions) is out now.

'Blame' is a poignant, downtempo track that feels like a dirge in some distant land where empathetic robots parade to mourn their dead. It's a haunting tune with ghostly, dissonant strings. Its mysteriously soulful pleading fades-away at the end to reveal some eternal wonder.

Post this

Nothing about Kristopher Escajeda is ordinary. As a multi-media artist, he is constantly absorbing, processing, evaluating and formulating new methods for conveying his unique audiovisual message. Walking through the multi-sensory playgrounds of Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) Las Vegas this month, NKRIOT found himself pulled onstage onto one of EDC’s whimsical Art Cars and handed a live microphone. NKRIOT wholeheartedly embraces music – and the electronic dance music festival and club culture, specifically – as an integral part of life and youth culture. The new E.P., Virtual Climax Recording (V.C.R.), embodies NKRIOT’s lust for life in an exquisitely packaged sojourn that feels like riding a bullet train while high on acid.

“Chromium 5” is a disco-infused, glitchy celebration of technology and the glorious human condition. “Alt Ion 33” is a high-energy, thumping, electro track with an icy-cold 4/4 beat and digitally-enhanced, energetic vibrations that incite the urge to move. “Justify” was named for the winner of this year’s Kentucky Derby, a horse that also won the Preakness Stakes, the middle jewel of horse-racing’s triple-crown. “Morning Eclipse” is perhaps the track most akin to NKRIOT’s previous single, “Reality Pages,” from the album, Riot. Cyber-punk synthesizers work through chord progressions as distorted horns lead the track forward through filthy production and out onto a darkened dancefloor. “Shogun 8.0” is a future-trap tune that spotlights NKRIOT’s processed vocals for a disembodied effect. As the first single off the album, “Shogun 8.0” sounds at once retro and futuristic, with synthesizers in the punk-electronic vein. “Blame” is a poignant, downtempo track that feels like a dirge in some distant, exotic land, a world where empathetic robots parade to mourn their dead. Heart wrenchingly beautiful, “Blame” is a haunting tune with ghostly, dissonant strings. Its mysteriously soulful pleading fades-away at the end to reveal some eternal wonder.

About NKRIOT

NKRIOT is an electronic music pioneer and inventor and a founder of the music genre known as “goji.” Hailing from Boyle Heights, California, NKRIOT champions a unique, kinetic sound based around an ever-evolving custom rig of hardware known as the RIOTLAB. When performing live, the artist known as NKRIOT (real name, Kristopher Escajeda) wears his signature hand-made mask. This mask is not merely a prop; it’s a working electronic instrument that allows the artist to interface with the original music he’s performing live, for example by allowing him to process his own vocals in real-time while singing. Little of the music performed during live NKRIOT’s shows is pre-recorded. NKRIOT performs his compositions with instruments, using electronic effects controllers, an electric guitar, drum pads, synthesizers and other elements to create a wholly unique experience. NKRIOT’s first full-length studio album, Riot, spawned the single, “Reality Pages,” an idiosyncratic track that caught the attention of corporate brands like LinkedIn and Jarritos and caused them to sign Escajeda as a brand ambassador, tapping into his authenticity as an artist. The follow-up album, Virtual Climax Recordings (V.C.R.) was released in May of 2018 with the first single being “Shogun 8.0.”
