When describing Los Angeles laptop group the Glitch Mob, words like fierce, raw, and intense come to mind. Though recently reduced to a trio after the departure of member Matthew "Kraddy" Kratz due to "creative differences," the crew continues to maintain its mantra, "We Slay Crowds." The group's dizzying aural assault melds crunchy hip-hop beats with a slew of highly digitized textures, samples, and loops. The live show is an adventure in overstimulation of the senses and never the same thing twice, as members remix, cut, and paste on the fly.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
