Artist Overview
# Electronic
Formed in 2006, L.A.'s Glitch Mob have wowed audiences on dancefloors around the world with a particular brand of bleepy electronica and heavy hip-hop-influenced basslines. After discovering that they were loosely affiliated with each other after performing at similar venues every night, the band members began their musical partnership by DJ'ing back to back as a 'tag team.'
The Mob were associated with the new wave of Los Angeles' IDM/hip-hop scene of the late 2000s. Their material recalled the more raucous elements of works by Aphex Twin and Autechre. Their 2014 tour in support of the record featured a unique prop dubbed "the Blade," built by movie set designers. It incorporated both musical and visual elements into one unit that allowed for wholly synchronized performances, entirely operated by all members in unison. The group has worked with acts such as Linkin Park and Metallica and remixed for Evil Nine and TV on the Radio. In 2018, the Glitch Mob delivered their third effort, See Without Eyes, which featured guest performances from the likes of Tula, Elohim, and Rituals of Mine.
