Glitch Hop's excellent. Razihel's pretty neat too. Haven't heard a whole many of his tracks, but I really dig his remix of Get Lucky (albeit not glitch hop).

However, the subgenre goes a little further back than that. Some of the newer stuff definitely has some dubstep influence, a la Cryptex or KOAN Sound, but it came about exactly as its name suggests - artists spicing up hip hop beats with IDM-style glitch effects. As far as I'm aware, edIT's Crying Over Pros For No Reason was the first "hit glitch hop album." Prefuse 73 had some tracks ahead of him, but I have no idea what the early 2000s were like in glitch hop. Anywho, here're some edIT/prefuse tracks!
