THE GLITCH MOB

The Glitch Mob is a three man musical collaboration with roots from San Francisco and Los Angeles. What initially started as a joke/loose affiliation soon stuck as edIT, Boreta, and Ooah found themselves frequently playing the same shows and eventually tag teaming during back to back time slots.

Taking influences 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 fly. 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 have injected a great sense of dance floor sensibility into the scene and crafted their own niche as new school dance floor destroyers.

The Glitch Mob are set to blow up in 2010, with appearances scheduled for SXSW, Coachella and the release of their first full-length album. Don’t miss The Glitch Mob live on Tuesday May 4 at Wrongbar.
