The Glitch Mob is an American electronic music trio from Los Angeles, California. It consists of edIT (Edward Ma), Boreta (Justin Boreta) and Ooah (Josh Mayer). Chris Martins of LA Weekly noted that they "have undoubtedly found the largest audience of any L.A. beat scene artist yet."
The Glitch Mob, originally a four-piece including Kraddy, was formed within the burgeoning Los Angeles bass-driven 'beat' scene. The group made a name for themselves playing live performances, choosing to perform with laptops and MIDI controllers like the Lemur. They won fans through showcasing their chosen technology during solo performances, and after gaining attention in Los Angeles and San Francisco, the group eventually toured more widely along the West Coast and then to various festivals worldwide. After citing "creative differences," founding member Kraddy left the group in 2009.
The Glitch Mob's first album Drink the Sea peaked at number 57 on the CMJ Top 200 Chart for College Radio. The album's debut led Electronic Musician to run a cover story on the trio. Their single "Drive It Like You Stole It" was number 2 on XLR8R's Top Downloads of 2010 list. Their single "Warrior Concerto" was used in the official trailer for The Crew, and was written specifically for the FIAT 500 campaign to launch in the US. The sophomore Glitch Mob album Love Death Immortality debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart and at number 13 on the Billboard 200. Their remix for "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes was featured in the trailer for the 2013 film G.I. Joe: Retaliation, as well as the trailer for the World War I first-person shooter, Battlefield 1. Their song "Skullclub" was featured in an advert for Amazon Echo.
