Seriously, if you live in Portland, or even the west coast and are part of the the EDM scene and haven’t heard of the Glitch Mob yet, you are not going out enough.  and you can get the opportunity to catch the Glitch Mob live @ Rotture July 27th. But the vegan of the crew, Kraddy, won’t be there, cuz according to one source, he’s evidently  wants to go in a “different creative direction” using more “live instruments along with the electronics” which makes perfect sense since he knows guitar, bass, drums while mastering his piano technique.  so it’s real nice for him to come directly to Portland. I guarantee, the show will be off the hook, considering that it also serves as the after party for Dead Prez, which it is rumored may actually perform as well.

I have major props for this man since he offers free REMIX KITS on his website so you can take his tracks and tweak them to your delight.

Though I don’t think that it actually gets the reader any clue to what is music sounds like, I thought the bio on his webpage was so intriguing I’ve pulled the selection for those that like flowery flourishy poetic verse.

“Kraddy’s music implicates cybernetic breaks with asymmetrical dub delays and hip hop grooves with dark ethereal melodies. At times his music is technical and frenetic and calls to mind images of genetically mutated earthworms, poping and locking deep underground to sub atomic frequencies, causing minute shifts in the structure and alignment of the tectonic plates, that over millennia will alter the magnetic core of the planet and thus change its frequency field steering its evolution towards greater harmony and a more peaceful form.”

Or you can just listen to it below.

Here’s my favorite remix selections off his  his second album, “The Illegal Album” on his own label Refiner Records.

• dangerous – busta rhymes [kraddy remix]
• gimmie that – chris brown & lil wayne [kraddy remix]
• forgot about dre – dr dre & eminem [kraddy remix]
• tek it off – capelton [kraddy remix]

And then of course, there’s this track, which seemed to be the Burning Man anthem 0f 2006:
