Glad you’ve found Dirty Loops 👍 and thanks for lending an ear and truly appreciating them. Lots to unpack indeed…. And yes, the one striking thing is that they don’t have a guitarist in the band. But they never were about conventionality ☺️ and manage to more than make up for the ‘missing’ guitar.. Henrik’s amazing skills on the bass, Jonah’s skills on his keyboard/piano, which I find he often uses in a rhythm guitar-like fashion, plus all three of them being amazingly creative songwriters or arrangers, - it all combines to pull the focus onto their phenomenal playing and singing skills. Jonah, putting down ALL of the vocal layers here, Henrik’s superb funk and jazz playing and Aron keeping it all in the pocket - an insanely talented trio. For more Dirty Loops insanity, listen to their track ‘Work Shit Out’. It features amongst many delicious things a super jazzy piano solo by Jonah, and a fire drum solo by Aron! Enjoy the ride 😉👌🙏👍
Welcome to the Dirty Loops rabbit hole.😉 You're up for a treat if you continue this journey. They are great in so many ways. Great reaction, keep them coming!
When you mention the term-"super group"- a few bands are always talked about. Cream, Led Zeppelin, Traveling Wilburys are constantly in the conversation. To me Dirty Loops is a modern super group. Each member is world class, and they create fantastic music. Been playing drums since the 1960s and, imho, these guys are some of the best musicians that I have ever heard. Thanks for the reaction. Welcome to the party. Stay safe Carl.
Welcome to the Dirty Loops rabbit hole. The biggest mistake new listeners make is to listen to one or two performances and think they know what Dirty Loops "is like." These guys are not only top flight musicians, but artists. Each of their songs will surprise you with something new. Have fun - and the fans will be out here watching. Follow the Light with Cory Wong and Work Sh*t Out are great next steps. This one showed off Jonah (vocals/keys) Follow the Light shows off Henrik (bass) and Work Sh*t Out spotlights Aron (drums). It's like a starter kit to get a sense of their talents. (forgot, I liked/subscribed.)
Welcome to the world of Dirty Loops! A Swedish band. You will find great music since many years, The latest came out a week ago. A Stevie Wonder cover: Living for the City.
Thanks for this one! It's always fun to see someone discovering Dirty Loops for the first time, and have their minds blown by this insanely competent powerhouse of a group. They started the group as a hobby project in 2008, and never thought it would be anything other than that. In 2010 they put up a video on youtube (a cover of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance"), as a booking reference, to see if they could get a gig or two, just for fun, as they thought their music was way too unsexy for anyone to actually like it. Needless to say, they were completely wrong. The video went viral and a LOT of people absolutely loved it. Just about everything they've ever released is of this ridiculous musical quality, so if you consider checking out more of them, you could basically pick anything, and you more than likely won't be disappointed. My personal favourite is one of their more jazz fusion-y pieces, "Work Shit Out", from the same EP ("Phoenix) as "Next To You". They recently released a new EP, "Beagle", which is utterly brilliant. If you want to see more of Henrik shredding the bass like a guitar, check out "Run Away" from that EP. Or if you prefer seeing his more jazzy side, have a look at the Stevie Wonder cover "Living For the City", also from "Beagle" (and their most recent video release). Earlier releases are the album "Loopified" in 2014, the EP "Phoenix" i 2020, a collab album with guitarist Cory Wong and his horn section ("Turbo") in 2021, along with a bunch of covers that can be found on their channel (and a few oldies that are only uploaded to their soundcloud page). All of them stellar. And believe it or not, they're just as stupidly good live. They've all known each other and played together for 20+ years by now, in their late thirties. Jonah (keyboard/vocals) and Henrik (bass) even went to music elementary school together and met when Henrik was 11 and Jonah was 9. Aron (drums) comes from another part of Sweden and came along when he moved to Stockholm at the age of 16, to attend the same music high school as they did (he was in the year between the other two). Then they all attended Kungliga Musikhögskolan (Royal College of Music) in Stockholm, where Henrik and Aron studied jazz/rock, and Jonah opted for music production (iirc) as his main subject. Henrik (bass) said the following about writing and recording this song, in an interview in Bass Magazine: Q: “Next to You” has a cool, halftime-shuffle feel and a gospel choir component. A: "That song took forever to write. Aron and I wrote the chorus in 2016. We found it in a drawer and tried a bunch of new verses with it until we got the right one. Then at the last minute, Aron wrote the gospel choir parts. He sent a very funny demo in which he marked where all the different gospel parts come in and what kind of voice they had. When Jonah recorded them, he had a chalkboard with all the different characters in the choir, and he distorted his voice to match each character and so none of them would sound like him. The groove has our typical, swung-funk, triplet feel, but the key is the Bootsy funk formula of having a heavy one to make all the subdivisions after it work. Aron wrote the chorus bass line, which is keyboard bass-like, and it worked best with a combination of fingers and slapping."
Welcome to the Dirty Loops rabbit hole enjoy your stay. This configuation is similar to the Police. Other artists/groups with similar talent to react: Jacob Collier: The Flinrstones Theme Snarky Puppy: Lingus Cory Wong: Assassin Matteo Mancuso: The Chicken
Dirty Loops always seems to have so much fun creating some of the most mind-blowing great music of our time. The rhythm section is so tight and each add intricate fills; it delights the ears to listen over and over to catch the little gems. There's no standard for Dirty Loops. Every new song is unique. Their new album is a departure from even Dirty Loops' usual offerings; Henrick (bass) is playing around with different pedal effects for the bass and it is wowzer.
Thanks for that react, Carl. Dirty Loops, three of the baddest musicians currently on the planet. Glad you’ve been turned in to them. Enjoy the rabbit hole :)
Dirty Loops is a trio of swedish musicians. They got to know each other while studying at the Swedisch National Conservatory of Music. Much of their arrangements are written either by Jonas vocsl/piano or Aron drums. Often defined as musicians loved by other musicians, the play in styles that are jazzy, funky or bluesy ar the same time. Quincy Jones discovered and promoted their talents. If you got bitten by their music you need more. There is enormous talent in their studio.
Welcome to the Dirty Loops rabbit hole. These three are world class musicians but manage to make their work very appealable to the non-musician public.
If you really want to hear the bass play like a lead guitarist, check out their 80's parody video (the staging, not the music). Welcome to the Dirty Loops rabbit hole 😊

Great reaction, sir! More DL please! 🙂

No matter what you choose next it'll be amazing - and surprising! I attended a Dirty Loops concert this monday and they really are worldclass...
They are truly amazing. Next should be "Work Shit Out", and it is going to be interesting to see your reaction to that one.

They did a collaboration with Corey Wong that you would like. Corey is a rhythm guitar specialist and he brings a horn section to the mix.
