When five friends, DJs and music producers - Ooah, Kitty-D, Boreta, edIT, Kraddy, all noted fixtures on the West Coast’s underground electronica scene - came together one night in an experiment in collaboration, they opened their laptops, and The Glitch Mob was formed, and with it the birth of a sound that is at once fresh and familiar.

The Mob deconstructs the standard notions of collaboration, performance, and genre to create a fully immersive, novel experience for their audiences. The format of their live shows takes the convention of a two DJ tag-team set and reinvents it by utilizing anywhere from two to five DJs on stage at once, who interact musically more like a jazz combo feeding one continuous stream, each taking the lead at intuitive moments then threading back into the whole.

No genre is off limits. Their slant - take it all, interweave and remix it live, add their own sounds and shards, and recompose everything on the fly. The effect is a sound that is utterly subversive, distinctly their own, one that blends the rhythmic accessibility of hip hop with the big, bassy insistence of breakbeat, all laid out like digital molasses with a deep, sultry, crook-of-the-finger yearning that quakes the head, heart, and hips and feels irrefutably danceable.

So innovative is their expression that in less than a year since their formation The Glitch Mob has caught the attention of some of the industry’s most notable artists, bringing them to headline alongside Digable Planets, Hank Shocklee (of Public Enemy), Diplo, Prefuse 73, Richard Devine, Funkstorung, Dabrye, STS9, Tipper, Modeselektor, Freq Nasty, Telefon Tel Aviv, Zilla, Plaid, and more.

The Mob continues to criss-cross the States with bookings at venues and festivals from Coachella to Shambhala to NASA, from Electric Daisy Carnival to SXSW. The time is now for their inevitable conquering of Europe.
