I know I’m behind the times with this post, however, I still wanted to spread the word The Glitch Mob is a fairly new discovery for me. When I first heard this track, I was blown away. I have been interested in electronic music, and heard some samples of ‘glitch’ used in progressive house tracks that always left me wanting more. I also was intrigued with the rise of Electro, however it never stuck, because the sound was just too dis-organized, and chaotic for my taste. Then enters an underground sound first emerging in the late 90s, and as all sub-divisions of popular music, has its turn to shine in the spotlight. ‘Glitch’ as wiki-pedia describes it, is:

Sources of glitch sound material are usually malfunctioning or abused audio recording devices or digital technology, such as CD skipping, electric hum, digital or analog distortion, bit rate reduction, hardware noise, computer bugs, crashes, vinyl record hiss or scratches and system errors.^[2] In a Computer Music Journal article published in 2000, composer and writer Kim Cascone classifies glitch as a sub-genre of electronica, and used the term post-digital to describe the glitch aesthetic.^[3] Another term for Glitch is Clicks & Cuts (sometimes only Clicks) deriving from the Clicks & Cuts Series released by theMille Plateaux music label, which played a leading role in the development of the genre.

Shida studio is inspired by this, as it is essentially taking a negative source and completely re-arranging, viewing it in a different light and converting it to a positive source of inspiration. Enjoy a track, no doubt to be a classic called: Drive it like you stole it, by The Glitch Mob who is a three-piece electronic group from Los Angeles, composed of Ed Ma, Justin Boreta and Josh Mayer.
