The set of musicians known as The Glitch Mob are located out of Los Angeles, CA. Josh “Ooah”, Justin “Boreta”, and Ed “edIT” came together about the West Coast in 2006 (with previous member Kraddy) and are currently on tour promoting their latest album, “See Without Eyes”.
Their global expansion in the West was unavoidable and we could catch their inspirational show at Electric Forest this past year.

When playing a series, is there ever a moment where the track record varies dependent on the vibe of this audience?

Do you favor playing your shows or do you enjoy playing for a festival audience?
They’re powerful in their own ways.
What is your favorite festival to play dependent on the vibes of this audience?
Each festival has its own unique magic. We love the ones with a solid nature presence.

Leftfield hip hop, ambient audio, dub reggae, house and techno.
Do all you like to listen to the same tunes while on tour or do you every have cans handy to follow music privately?
We do both. There’s pre-show ritual of listening to a person prior to going on stage including Collie Buddz “Blind to you ” so to find the vibe moving. In addition, we spend a good deal of time in cans meditating and with alone time.
