    I mean to take absolutely nothing away from any other musician on stage with Henrik, but sometimes I swear that half the reason Dirty Loops is so popular is because they actually have the balls to let the bass be heavily present in the mix. There are some phenomenal bassists out there, but they're rarely given such a spotlight like this. It's incredible.

    Quincy Jones is just their manager though. They produce their songs themselves, together with Simon Petrén. I heard one of them say, in an interview, that they don’t send Quincy anything, not even demos, until it’s completely finished. They’re mad as hatters and it’s utterly brilliant. 😁

And even if it is a real sample, it doesn't change the fact that QJ isn't their producer in any way. He's still just the manager. I'm sure they could have gotten a sample either way, if that is what it is.

      In terms of musical arrangement, I think Next To You is a better pick than Work Shit Out. Work Shit Out shows their musical skill well, but I think Next To You was just written better (the way it spans genres too).
      Either song is great though! Don't get me wrong.
      Breakdown and Rock You are also awesome!

    The musicianship of all of these guys (including Cory Wong and his Hornheads) is off the charts. I think the thing that makes Dirty Loops, Cory Wong, and Vulfpeck so amazing and tight is that none of them allow their ego to get in the way. They're all highly technical and gifted musicians, they all know it, and they all genuinely respect eachother's abilities and they all truly like each other. You can see the joy on their faces when they play and it's infectious. And Grace Kelly's stank face is everything.

    My favorite part of this arrangement was the modulation at the end. SICK!

    Your Journey with dirty loops is just beginning... Hope you do more reactions of the other songs, every song is a whole experience...

    Wow. I've vaguely heard of these guys but never heard of them... but I'm an instant fan. I love jazz, funk, and pop anyway, but put them all together and I'm in heaven. Definitely be downloading their discography soon.

    Thanks for the early drop! So much easier for me to find time to take a break and watch. :-)

    First time I heard this Dirty Loops tune, I thought I was drifting in Space: "Crash and Burn Delight"; and another cool tune with French: "Ta Fête (Stromae cover)" -- enjoy!
