Glitch

Glitch is Baltimore disc jockey/producers Dan Nigrin and Bump Stadelman. They doublehandedly forged their local techno-industrial dance music scene in the mid 80’s, and began a move from DJ booth to recording studio in the early 90’s, with an initial EP release on the renowned R&S Records of Belgium in 1991. They also created their first of many mind-bending videos released by Telegenics & Rockamerica. Glitch quickly followed up these initial efforts with multiple new releases, on Lenny Dee’s hardcore Industrial Strength Records (with a Richie Hawtin Circuit Breaker remix), and USA powerhouse Radikal Records.

Glitch gained momentum with every step, with their live shows earning rave reviews for a unique approach of audio-visual overdose, the followup “Trauma” EP on Industrial Strength charting worldwide based on cassette promos, and an EP and CD on Germany’s legendary Fax Records run by Pete “Namlook” Kuhlmann. The mid 90’s saw Glitch start their own label, Defective Records, with new EPs, remixes and a full-length CD.

Glitch uses and manipulates existing sources to create a new product - a sonic montage. They consistently accept and assimilate new trends, but never imitate them, and they refuse to be pigeonholed into one style of music, as evidenced by the diversity of the labels on which they’ve released material. Glitch straddles the line between techno, trance, industrial, and experimental, with music that appeals to both mind and body.
