Ingtzi

Ingtzi maintains Glitch.CZ, a blog dedicated to Glitch Hop and other styles of experimental electronic music. In addition to hosting the Glitch.CZ Podcast, Ingtzi organizes Glitch Hop events in Prague and the United States.

Ingtzi is a cultural hybrid often traveling between Europe and the US. He first appeared in the Prague club scene in 2005. Spending the previous few years playing alongside Sugarpill deeply influenced his tastes and performance techniques. Ingtzi added glitch and heavy bass to his acoustic appreciation, but hybridity remains key, never sticking only to a single genre or style.

Darjeel

Darjeel is a 24-year-old dj from Brno.
Although his main domain is psychedelic music -  a culture he is undoubtedly rooted in, glitch music, especially acid crunk, is his musical cream of the crop. He likes mighty beats as well as deep drones, dark forest-like melodies as well as fresh swing. Roll one up at a party and have some glitch with a hint of psychedelic flavor.

Denoir

Take one part London “hardcore continuum” (Hardcore Rave, 90′s Jungle, UK Garage, Grime, UK Funky, Dubstep) and add two parts funk, hip hop, and their estranged relatives. Old-school analogue synthesizers versus distorted wonky sounds. Dark bass lines versus sweet female vocals. Broken beats versus monotonous house rhythms. Classical vinyl DJing versus digital technology. Schizophrenia without limits.
