Glitch Mob Concert

Posted by The Raver


This Saturday Boston was treated to an amazing show, and I was lucky enough to be there! Com Truise, Phantogram and Glitch Mob all played at the Paradise Rock Club. The venue was much wider than it was deep which made it really easy for my friends and I to get right up to the front.

The excitement coming from edIT (frontman for Glitch Mob) and the rest of the band was great. edIT is originally from Boston and shared how glad he was to be back. He also added that his parents were in the audience!

Each DJ had a set of electronic drums, hardware drum pads, and a touchscreen for live mixing. It was great to see them perform live. No pre-recorded stuff here!

We Can Make The World Stop (new Glitch Mob EP in its entirety)

    • Madeon

    Posted by The Raver

    Readers of Quoth the Raver might remember how much I love French Electro-House. Daft Punk, Danger and Louis La Roche all fall under this genre heavily influenced by Funk and Disco. Well now we add a fun new DJ to the stage, Madeon! Most of us found out about him after seeing this awesome video as it made the rounds on a bunch of great techno blogs. It shows Madeon playing a live mashup of some of his favorite songs on a Novation Launchpad:



    There's much more to this talented artist though. For one thing he is very young for a successful DJ (only 17!). His take on French House has turned more towards Pop instead of the Disco influence that Louis La Roche has been playing with. Tons of people in the EDM community have begun to recognize his talent for what it is, including some of the very people he has remixed. How cool is that!?!

    Deadmau5 himself commended Madeon for his original take on Raise Your Weapon:
    Raise Your Weapon - Deadmau5 (Madeon Remix)

    His remix of The Island won first place in Pendulum's own remix competition and was praised by electro-dubstep heavyweight Skrillex:
    The Island - Pendulum (Madeon Remix)

    Madeon was invited to play with Yelle after she heard his remix of her song Que Veux Tu:
    Que Veux Tu - Yelle (Madeon Remix)


    His original material is great too! Check out his most recent original called Shuriken
    Shuriken - Madeon


    So after hearing all these great songs I'm sure you're as hopeful as I am for a new album or EP release. Well, we're in luck! According to a recent interview, Madeon plans to release a four track EP filled with unreleased goodies this summer! You can read the full interview HERE. I can't wait for it, and you can be sure that I'l let you all know when it drops. While we wait though we sure have a lot of great music to keep us happy. Enjoy!

    • Glitch Mob

    Posted by The Raver

    One genre of EDM that hasnt been talked about yet on Quoth The Raver is glitch. Glitch as a genre gets its unique sound from the unusual sounds it uses and the general random structure of the music. The kinds of sounds that are usually considered unwanted or the sign of low quality recording (white/pink noise, pops, hisses, quick snaps or disconnects) are all used in glitch to create very cool and original sounding music.


    The struggle with making Glitch music is finding a way to make all this randomness sound whole. After all, music is built around patterns and melody. One way to do this is combine Glitch with another genre; using Glitch sounds and techniques but letting the other genre guide the rhythm and melody.




    So here we have The Glitch Mob! A combination of Glitch and Hip-Hop. They just released a new EP today and I'l be going to their concert in two weeks so what a great time to share their music! Take a look:
