Found this info on the net - but I think the record label MEGO "Framers

Glitch Info:

A glitch is a short-lived fault in a system. The term is particularly common
in the computing Originally, the word computing was synonymous with counting
and calculating, and a computer was a person who computes. Since the advent
of the electronic computer, it has come to also mean the operation and usage
of these machines, as well as the electrical processes carried out within
the computer hardware itself.

In music, glitch (also known as clicks and cuts) is a genre of electronic
music that became popular in the late 1990s with the increasing use of
digital signal processing, particularly on computers. Glitch is influenced
by Musique concrète, techno, industrial and ambient music, is usually
extremely minimal and rhythmic and is sometimes considered a sub-genre of
IDM. (The term "clicks n cuts" comes from a representative compilation
series by the German record label Mille Plateaux called Clicks and Cuts.)
refers to a genre of electronic music
Electronic music is a loose term for music created using electronic
equipment. Any sound produced by the means of an electrical signal may
reasonably be called electronic, and the term is sometimes used that way --
in music where acoustic performance is the norm, even the introduction of
electronic amplifiers may touch off discussions of electronic music (jazz
and folk music, for example, have gone through a good deal of argument about
the topic). that became popular in the late 1990s
