It consists of edIT (Edward Ma), Boreta (Justin Boreta) and Ooah (Josh Mayer). The Glitch Mob, originally a five-piece including Kraddy and Kitty-D, was formed in 2006 within the burgeoning Los Angeles bass-driven 'beat' scene. The group made a name for themselves playing live, choosing to perform with laptops and MIDI controllers like the Lemur. They won fans through showcasing their chosen technology during performance solos, 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 on the CMJ Top 200 Chart for College Radio at #57. The album's debut led Electronic Musician to run a cover story on the trio. Their single "Drive It Like You Stole It" was #2 on XLR8R's Top Downloads of 2010 list. The Glitch Mob started their own label, Glass Air Records in 2010. Drink the Sea and We Can Make the World Stop were released on the label.
