It makes me laugh to see how they get confused with my nickname haha, the "casc" comes from the surname Cascante (it's Latin). On the other hand, I'm glad you're liking Dirty Loops
Thanks for reacting to them. LOVE Dirty Loops so much. Follow the Light is a do not miss - another of their compositions, and presented with Cory Wong. This one shows you Aaron, the drummer - Follow the Light will give you good look at Henrik, the bass player. Mind blowing.
Oh! Have you watched "Breakdown" by Dirty Loops yet? :D The tone of Breakdown is very different again, it creates very different emotions. Thanks for sharing your first experiences with Dirty Loops, I loved seeing the awe in your faces and the different things you each were noticing/enjoying about the songs and musicianship. I was just as frickin' excited seeing these videos for the first time too!
An adage I live by as a performer and composer is "If you want the audience to hear you, play loud. If you want them to LISTEN, play soft." Too many bands forget that. For all their pyrotechnics and power, they are superb artists who remember the power of dynamics. Keep them coming!
Yeah, thanks Andreas 👍and I’m stoked that you found this one more ‘accessible’ (am I right there?) than Next To You. The level of musicianship, individual skills and chops is just out of this world. And you’re so right, Henrik (bass) and Aron (drums) are locked in! Their years of practising together payed off big time. They’re good friends too, and Henrik’s once told the story of his bass teacher also teaching Aron at one point. He’d often extended Henrik’s bass lesson to a several hour-lesson… That prog-feel: they count the Pat Metheny Group as one of their leading musical influences. Then there’s all the other stuff they grew up with, RnB, gospel, classical, funk, rock and jazz. It’s all in the mix. Oh yeah and loopified pop ;) That tension and release in their compositions, you’re so spot on there. And that quiet intro into the piano solo, I love this part and never thought of it as anxious, but more like being dropped down into a dark jungle world from a helicopter, and I guess that could potentially be scary 😉 you definitely don’t know what’s coming next. Both of you vibing along and/or listening with such intensity made my day! Thanks for this again. “Thriller”, their cover of the MJ tune, in collaboration with rhythm guitarist Cory Wong, might be another great one to react to ;)👍
Ah wow. Thanks for this comment. Great insight and I’m glad you enjoyed our reaction. I think Sue and I are both interested to hear their version of Thriller next. 🌎✌️❤️🎶
Waiting for my tram watching your reaction while people around me give looks like "Why the constant Stank Face"? The bassist is arguably one of the best on the planet. Please so the happiest song, ever, Dirt Loops with Cory Wong - Follow the Light. It makes you smile like no other
“The musicianship is on another level.” Good reason for that, all three are from the Swedish Royal Institute of Music (or whatever it translates into English as). They were studying composition, jazz, and what not, and would get together to jam and do their own thing. So, yes, they started out doing this for the fun of it, and they still are.
I have been a pro musician and played with fairly major artists for 40 yrs. These guys are terrifyingly good. Like as good as anyone on the planet kind of good. Beasts!!!
The thing that is fun is that the better the musician that hears the more they freak out. Lol they are doing things that are just ridiculously hard but in a kind of pop-rock ish setting. This is what makes them unreal. They are playing at a level that nobody ever does in this style of music.
Is great to see that you appreciate the level of musicianship, is another whole level, mi Like landed when she said ... this dirty... so dirty hahahahaha, in this song you see the drummer capabilities... I recommend to next react to the song **wold on fire** the bass man will blow you away
Thriller and follow the light with Cory wong are amazing, also from the same session is the amazing instrumental TURBO , great musicianship , Cory wongs musicians were the backing musicians for the late PRINCE. then back to the trio DIRTY LOOPS are JONAH NILLSON on vocals and keyboards , HENRICK LINDER one of todays greatest bass players and AARON MELLERGARD a very underrated drummer, they are Swedish and all classically trained musicians. ROCK YOU, WORLD ON FIRE, HIT ME, if you like a ballad you have to hear Jonah nillson sing BREAKDOWN , I first came across singer jonah in a collaboration with my favourite guitar player Steve vai singing JONAH NILLSON DIAMOND RING, during the video there's a cameo appearance from jonahs manager the old man of funk QUINCY JONES , speaking of QUINCY and Michael Jackson style vocals jonah performed at a show in Paris for QUINCY singing JONAH NILLSON BILLY JEAN LIVE IN PARIS, with QUINCY sitting on the side of the stage welcoming the artists to the stage, the 2 bass player's were from the old Michael Jackson days RICHARD BONA and MARCUS MILLER, a few more songs for your dirty loops journey, best wishes from the North East Coast of England.
As I mentioned in another video they also have an alternative "project" and you can search for them like "Dirty Loops/Song for Lovers" the songs called "Coffee Break its Over","Bitten bu the kitten"or "Old Armando had a farm"
How to get locked in like Henrik and Aron: they practiced for a long time a two bar groove looped that for 30 min without any distractions took a 5 min break then 30 min grooving the two bars again 5 min break and 30 grooving. Then they'd change to another two bar groove and repeat the practice plan. Those two grooves practiced for a week - and then a new week with two new grooves...
I think the key is they’ve played together since they were in (music) high school, since they were like 15-16. And with the level of discipline and commitment you describe. Consequently, their joint sense of time and pocket is second to none. It’s actually scary. Also, it’s pretty rare that musicians with this level of skill stick together for this long. Like John Mellencamp said: Trying to organize musicians is like herding cats.
@@semi-sound haha…. Herding cats, spot on. Yeah, I’m so glad that those three guys have stuck together for that long, it’s quite amazing-. Fingers crossed they’ll continue together for many years… 🤞🤞🤞
@@fiddlestix3025 I think they’ll stick together, albeit interspersed with other projects. These days musicians have to take success where they can find it, and they have built a brand and a devout following that isn’t easily found in the scholarly genres of jazz fusion-based music - at least not in the 21st century. Plus, they’re too old now for the inevitable drama that inflicts all bands. Breaking up bands is a young person’s game. And even if they one day tired of touring and facing the public, they would still gravitate towards the connection the three of them have - it’s the sort of thing all musicians dream of. Meaning we would still get new recorded music from them, I’m quite sure. (And since Aron seems to be really into video editing, it would probably be accompanied by videos too). Of course it doesn't hurt having been friends since junior high either...
Thank you for those suggestions! I will add the first 2 to our list. Looking forward to them. We did a reaction to Thriller! Knowing what I know now, that song/video is mind blowing. ruclips.net/video/1M6PkH1nB0c/видео.htmlsi=zJS7CZMNgSN_hMmf
Looking for more similar insane stuff like that?! Search for "Valeriy Stepanov" and his Jaco Pastorius cover version of "The Chicken"! Disapointment impossible ;-)
1. Dirty Loops is your favorite band's favorite band. 2. Dirty Loops is the band where every member of the band is the most talented member of the band.
@peterfindsobsurestuff, love your name ;) Yeah, oftentimes people have commented on their Latin feels. Their percussionist, always heard in the background but never seen, is Andreas Eckstedt, one of Sweden’s most recognized percussionists (and a Physics scientist by day ☺️) The berimbau in the background is just one of the things they or he uses in creating that feel, I guess. Their track “Ring of Saturn” (in collaboration with Cory Wong) is another example of their love of Latin soundscapes. I’m getting those strong Pat Metheny vibes, with Pat using a lot of Latin rhythms and percussion 🪘🥁🪘
No offense but I’m kinda confused. I’m a musician and have been a Dirty Loops fan for over a decade now. I love to check in every now and again and see musician reactions to their stuff. I thought this was a musician reaction to Dirty Loops but heard nothing of substance in terms of musicianship. Is your channel just a channel of you reacting to whatever without necessarily being trained in what you are watching?
Yea we’re just fans. I play a little bit of guitar and bass. I know some theory and have played in some bands, but I’m not here for analysis. Just here to appreciate the artists and find new music we like.
Thanks to andrescasc for this suggestion!
Many thanks!!! Hooked here!

Aron is the King of the snare rolls! Next level musicianship.

I been playing the drums for 55 years and I'm not worthy enough to carry Arons stick bag. He never misses
He’s ridiculous

Side and cross stick and subdividing WTF!!! Aron is a beast!

The bassist is arguably one of the best on the planet.

Next up could be "Thriller" maybe, followed by "Follow the light". Both in partnership with Core Wong :)

@@secondhandreactionsyes!!!
"I don't know what to think" Yeah, man, we all felt that. Insanity.
Nice reaction! Good call on the musicianship and Stevie Wonder connection on the vocals! Looking forward to Thriller!

Thriller killed!!!!
Must be Aliens!👽👽👽 The only explanation.
This is what happens when you tend to swedish music school 😊
Again, this is what you get when everyone in the band is the best.
Insane talent!!!
Stevie Wonder is a big fan of theirs, too!
I bet he is! The music is on another level
The drummer Aron writes most of the Bass parts.
