The Glitch Mob brings West Coast Sound to Winter Music Conference 2010, delivering a hybrid musical experience of heavy-slamming electronic music with backbone of hip hop beats, infused with the sound of the future and knocked over the head with ridiculous waves of rib-crushing bass. 

The three-man mob is made up of Edit, Ooah and Boreta who talks to DF5K about the group’s plans for Miami, their upcoming tour and the new Glitch Mob album dropping later this spring.

Is this your first time to Winter Music Conference?

This is the first Glitch Mob show at WMC. We’ve been before individually.

What are you looking forward to most about your trip to Miami?

The beach! And awesome Cuban food.

The Glitch Mob is playing at the Ultra Music Festival on March 27 on the Biscayne Stage. Do you guys do anything differently when playing at massive raves as opposed to smaller concerts?

We don’t change our set depending on where we’re playing. It will get modified over time as new songs are added and we come up with new things to do. But in general, we just do our thing.

Will it be all business for the Glitch Mob in Miami, or are you planning on some pleasure as well? Any particular parties you are excited about attending or artists that you want to hear?

We are looking forward to hearing some great music on the amazing sound systems and hanging out with folks down there. Miami is such a unique vibrant place, there’s really no place like it. We can’t hang out long though because we have to get home and keep practicing our set for the upcoming tour.

What can fans expect from the Glitch Mob’s new album dropping this year? Does it have a name yet?

Our debut album Drink The Sea will be coming out on May 25th on our label Glass Air. It’s a culmination of many many many hours in the studio, and it’s a whole new direction for us. We’re really excited to share it with everyone.

What have been your favorite festivals to perform at so far?

That’s hard to say. Every festival has it’s perks. Playing Lollapalooza last year was amazing – it’s a giant festival smack dab in the middle of downtown Chicago. Playing alongside artists like TV on the Radio, Tool and Animal Collective was really inspiring.
