Glitch Please is an Estonian artist collective functioning primarily as a record label and event series focusing on experimental electronic music, specifically glitch music. The label was initially launched as an event series before evolving into a record label, releasing music in various formats, including vinyl, cassette tape, digital, and floppy disk.[1]
History
[edit]Event series and transition to a label
[edit]Glitch Please was established as an event series, with its first event held on 20 January 2023. The debut event featured Finnish breakcore artist Tusk Mite, who performed his last European show before relocating to Australia.[2]
A second event took place as part of the Commute Festival, organized by the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. The event included performances by Ars Dada, Oliotronix, and Submerged, and Ars Dada conducted a master class on electronic music live performance.[3]
The event series continued, featuring a variety of artists from the experimental electronic music scene. Among the notable guests were South African drum and bass group Counterstrike and Colombian techno producer Sonico.
Formation of the record label and key releases
[edit]Glitch Please transitioned into a record label in 2023. The first official release, ¤ne vs 99 by Art imitation, was released on 29 September 2023 and received support from the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
In May 2024, the label released Vanatühi by Kiwanoid in collaboration with the German label Mille Plateaux. The album was released in multiple formats, including vinyl, cassette tape, digital, and floppy disk.[1] The release was covered extensively by Estonian media, with ERR describing it as a significant addition to the glitch music scene.[4] Internationally, the album received recognition from the electronic music publication Chain D.L.K., which praised its experimental approach and sonic textures.[5]
By late 2024, the label began expanding into Web3 technologies, integrating NFTs as an experimental music format.
Web3 and NFT releases
[edit]As part of its exploration of alternative formats, Glitch Please introduced NFT-based music releases in late 2024. On 8 December, the label launched its first NFT collection, gl8tchd, alongside the EP 8∞ by !!ii. The collection aimed to extend the EP’s themes of glitching and looping, transforming fragmented sounds and visuals into standalone digital artworks.
Building on this approach, Glitch Please released a second NFT collection, gl6tchd, in January 2025, which was paired with Art imitation’s HiddenEP. The project experimented with the concept of endless loop compositions, mirroring the mechanics of physical loop-cassette tapes but in a digital format. These releases were an attempt to redefine how music could be distributed and interacted with in Web3 spaces.
While NFT-based releases remain an experimental part of the label’s catalog, they demonstrate Glitch Please’s broader interest in exploring new media art and hybrid formats for sound art.
