[@ryancox5097]

The answer is capitalism, plain and simple. The wealthy-elites in the record industry only allow the most profitable music to play on the radio, so we never get to hear anything but the simplest, most unsophisticated material. Record companies and radio stations work together to sell what's ADDICTIVE, not what's thought-provoking, unique, sophisticated or -- God forbid -- what uses real, live instruments.

Radio stations should blast more of their stuff. They deserve attention and recognition.

[@lorraineb682]

How do we make this happen?

[@jas_bataille]

@@lorraineb682 There are a couple ways to make happen but the fans can't officially do anything... he first way, is to do a radio edit of max. 3:30... you cut a verse, the bridge is very catchy, it starts getting really attention grabbing at around the 3:00 mark. You remove the bass fill that people will not understand. You put a chorus out. Then they call Quincy and he goes to pitch that to radio station... but they aren't weighing in on the charts or on the internet compared to charting pop artists, so good luck. They won't make it on iHeart or any other big player. The second way is to aim for specialized music shows, podcast, and so on. The third way is to get this sync to image on a movie or a series. The fourth way is to mass call a radio station with 1000 people or so and ask for it at the same time and see. That could work... IF it's not 5 min. The radio will NOT play it. It used to be possible back in the days but not anymore.

[@lorraineb682]

@@jas_bataille Yeah... radio is very corporate these days. This song though is 4 min. Next To You has a 4 min radio edit. It's very poppy sounding. I think it's possible. I did request from my local station a year ago, but it's iHeart branded so I doubt that they take any suggestions whatsoever. I mean, I'm sure some jazz has crossed over into popular mainstream here and there over the years right?

[@internettoughguy]

I asked my wife to listen this. She's just a regular music listener who doesn't even know what a bass guitar is. She said "it's too busy with a bunch of different sounds". This is how a regular person would hear music like this and is the reason why it's appeal is limited to relatively few people...and why it would most likely never make it to radio.

I'm getting mad everytime I hear a song I like and then start to wonder how great it would be if someone who actually cared about dynamic would have produced the song. The second you hear a quality recording on a system with good impulse response (meaning loudspeakers with a high sensitivity and a well designed amplifier with lots and lots of power/headroom), you sit on your couch smiling from one ear to the other and start to wonder why we can't have nice things...

How could you NOT have the time of your life playing with musicians that good? They are for sure stoked to be playing with each other.

[@mohammadarsal1548]

Dirty loops/Cory wong collab is like a dream come true!!

[@kennethhoggro4520]

Forget the Grammys, we know a winner when we hear one. All the right elements, can’t help but to love it, YES!!!

[@crispmom]

This song has some serious Michael Jackson vibes, especially around the 2:50 minute mark, and I'm down for it.

[@jamestough4994]

Haha ‘thriller’ intro - then followed by intro of ‘like a prayer’… so many 80s references

[@icedbass]

J'ai pensé la même chose que toi / i've got the same idea than you and i 've loved all this musicians and singer :)

[@stephentyler4352]

Exactly the same thing I thought too. The Resurrection of MJ has arrived!! 💙 This tune is wholeheartedly “BAD” ass.

Jonah love´s Michael, and work whit Quincy Jones lol haha

[@Mr_Z_Man]

God, that was so tight! And having Cory Wong with that killer horn section just sent it. Freaking awesome!

[@robertkaye5434]

One must give due credit to Aaron Mellegard for his solo video editing. Not only is he an amazing drummer/co-composer/co-arranger, he's a video editor par excellance! That must've taken days if not weeks. BRAVO!

[@samenger1508]

More like one day but yeah

[@Birkguitars]

In contrast... As someone who is just starting to learn about making videos can I ask whether the technique of never holding the camera still is something that people like. Every cut has the camera in motion whether that is left/right, up/down or zooming in or out. It is just a personal view but it strikes me as the visual equivalent of fingernails down a blackboard or is that just me? To my eyes it seems to be a one trick show that drastically over works a single technique passed the point of boredom to actual annoyance. There are also some odd choices such as the cut at 2:54 with a glimpse of a zoom in and another at 3:45 with a very brief zoom out that to be honest I thought were actually mistakes when I saw them and before I had read this comment. I don't mean any particular criticism since it is an aesthetic choice as much as a technical one but as a novice to this it would be interesting to me to can gauge how well or badly received it is as a piece of video. This is not a style that I would have thought of using but am I missing something?

[@samenger1508]

@@Birkguitars Dont worry, you're not supposed to use this style of filming/editing. It is something that i would not have done too because i find the editing too fast without enough dynamics. But it's a style as you said, it is something that they like to do (in every one of their videos), but it's not something you have to reproduce. However, if you want to make a musical clip video, you kinda have to use motion with the camera. It depends of the genre and the ambience of the music obviously but still, it's really rare that you see a clip without camera motion. Because it just makes images moving as the music is moving. It's as simple as that. Everything is about using ideas that corresponds to the story you want to tell in your video, and mostly how you want to tell it. You could pretty much do anything you want if the ideas you chose appear to match together. But for example, you wont see someone talking about philosophy during one hour with 10 cuts and zooms per 10 seconds. It would make it weird, and unpleasant to watch.

Musically, this song is on of the very best. Technically, the musicianship from the groove section all the way to the horns, this song is not only entertaining, but it also is a lesson on how astute you need to be to perform at this high level. Love it!!

[@jeremiahwarmbier5224]

The best thing about this band is that bass player. He is exceptional.

[@lorraineq169]

The drummer is amazing. The singer is amazing at piano too.

Can’t say any are better than the other, they’re all amazing. Jonah is also a drummer which I just found out. Classically trained musician and beautiful at that haha bass players daughter and husbands a drummer and I used to be singer so this all hits me differently 😂😂

[@averelchannel2178]

3:12 this is exactly my reaction when Henrik drop this bass machine gun line 😁 ! Ah so good, thanks for another excellent music Dirty Loops and Cory Wong ! Can't wait for the whole album

[@lildigipoke]

Now imagine Vulfpeck and Dirty Loops collaborating...definitely wouldn't be low volume funk anymore! Wow! Whoever made this collab happen deserves a raise.

[@ewanchesnel8676]

Just imagining the bass solo between Henrik and Joe Dart makes me go beyond the stratosphere 🚀👌

This kind of incredible music you bump into only once a year or so, and you know you never gonna stop listening to this song

[@CuseRnr]

I would like to shake the sound engineers hand. Wow!

[@manny75586]

Henrik is one of my top bass inspirations right now. He continues to strengthen that position with yet another perfect bass performance in this song.

[@mattiasbb3k466]

In essence, music is the art of painting time, and this is a masterpiece! There’s so many nuggets of gold in this piece that I keep returning to it over and over, every time finding more details to the amazing whole. Bringing Cory along is a fantastic move!! Somewhere down the line I hope we get to see Dirty Loops and Vulfpeck share the stage at the same time. And please a Tour in Europe as well! Lots of love!

I can’t wait for the full album! It releases September 3. Seven songs with dirty loops and Cory wong. Haven’t been this excited about an album ever!

[@tstrangeful]

Betting this was not only recorded but shot on 2 continents due to Covid. No image overlaps between DL and CW with horn section. Makes it even more amazing to me.

[@TheMack0007]

Just heard about the band on the radio while driving from work. I must say. Superb. Fresh. Musically astound. And this coming from a long time Sax player. +1 fan. Cheers from Croatia and keep up with giving food to my ears.
