Glitch – House Call EP

Catalog Number: DR017
Release Year: 1996

Glitch is DJ / Producers Dan Nigrin & Bump Stadelman. Veterans of the electronic dance music scene, their debut EP was released in 1990 on the highly regarded R&S label. They’ve produced a steady stream of music since then, working with some of the most respected names in techno – Pete “Namlook” Kuhlmann (Fax Records), Richie Hawtin (+8 Records), and Lenny Dee (Industrial Strength Records), among others. In addition to a continuing series of highly regarded EP’s, the band has also released two full length CDs, a rarity in the one-hit-wonder environment of today’s techno.

One of Glitch’s hallmarks has been its musical diversity – tracks can range from hardcore to ambient, all on the same release. One need only realize the vast difference between labels like Fax and Industrial Strength, both of which Glitch has recorded for, to see proof of that diversity.

“House Call” continues in this tradition – showing that Glitch can generate funky beats with the best of them, all the while preserving their ability to be able to create something “different”. Oh and don’t forget their ability to sample – these guys find the funkiest real life samples around. They refuse to get caught up in the sample-CD game, rather preferring to dig deep into their archives for that special sound…
