Remote Control Frequencies, or RCF for short, is a Chicago -based Amoebic musical project started by sound artist R-Rock . Blending together genres including Hip-hop , Psychedelic Rock , Drum And Bass and Electronica , these sounds are then combined with samples, vocals, instruments, recorded and improvised noise, gadgets and concepts to form new sound potential.

In 2005, after spending years circulating short run CDR s and underground Mixtape s, R-Rock resurfaced with RCF's debut full-length CD "20,000"; a musical reinterpretation of Jules Verne's classic literary work "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea". This CD featured guest appearances by free jazz alto-sax legend ''' Wally Shoup ''' (recorded during R-Rock's stint in Seattle, WA), no wave clarinet from ''' Michael Thomas Jackson ''' (recorded in North Carolina) and underground Texas MC ''' Jonny Fear '''.

R-Rock (also known as '''Rob R-Rock''') began recording in the late 1980s with North Carolina -based hardcore/punk group Naked Angels . A series of 12"s and compilation tracks in the early 90s, both with DJ Evercool as Hardcore Reality and on his own, helped promote to R-Rock to cult status before his eventual disappearance. Many rumors have circulated about the reasons for his extended hiatus before reappearing with RCF. Most theories currently center around involvement with the Central Intelligence Agency .

Remote Control Frequencies released a rematered and repackaged version of '''20,000''' on August 22nd, 2006 on the label '''The Secret Life of Sound'''.
