The Glitch Mob

The Glitch Mob is a three man musical collaboration from Los Angeles. What initially started as a loose affiliation soon stuck as edIT, Ooah and Boreta found themselves frequently playing the same shows and eventually tag teaming during back to back time slots. This eventually led to the three man sonic onslaught of ferocious bass, head cracking drums and infinitely complex rhythms. A proverbial Voltron effect on stage. Taking in?uences from hip-hop, experimental, and dance genres, The Glitch Mob have crafted their own form of futuristic dance floor hip-hop that has been “slaying” audiences world wide. Their live sets reinvent the dj “tag-team” concept with three performers on stage at once, interacting like a jazz combo, each taking the lead at intuitive moments, interweaving their own sounds, and remixing everything on the ?y. The result is a sound distinctly their own, blending the deep head nod of hip-hop with serious bass music, throwing genre distinctions out the window. The Glitch Mob has been one of the cornerstones of this new electronic hip hop movement that has emerged from Glasgow to Montreal and back to Los Angeles. Taking a nod from the resurgence in the instrumental hip-hop “beats” movement, The Glitch Mob has injected a great sense of dance ?oor sensibility into the scene and crafted their own niche as new school dance ?oor destroyers. Members of The Glitch Mob have individually released music on their own imprint Glitch Mob Unlimited which is a subsidiary of Los Angeles’ Alpha Pup Records. They plan to release their ?rst full length album in 2009.
