Glad you’ve enjoyed this masterpiece by Dirty Loops, Pies, - but then everything they’ve ever created could be called a masterpiece… Jonah’s vocals (and keyboard/piano playing) are amongst the top ones out there at the moment. Every time I listen to this track, his vocals blow me away. Yes, it’s all him. You’ve mentioned getting Snarky Puppy, Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder vibes, and I think it’s all in there, together with everything else they’ve ever listened to, from classical to jazz, pop, funk, rock, RnB, you name it. They know no boundaries in terms of genres. As someone once said: “Dirty Loops put everything into a blender, mix it up, and then seem to press the Stop button just at the perfect moment” 😉 I love the way they write and arrange their songs, so as to give everyone the space to shine. Henrik is an absolute master on bass, and of playing perfectly in the pocket with Aron (drums). When studying music at the Royal College of Music, Stockholm, they both spent many hours, after everyone had gone home, to practise locking in together. Henrik is revolutionizing bass playing as we know it. Not just his slap bass and funk technique and feel, he’s inventing new ways of playing bass. It’s insane. Check out his collaborations with other jazz/prog/fusion musicians. Aron co-writes a lot of Dirty Loops tunes, lyrics, even melodic lines, as well as some or most of Henrik’s bass lines (!). On top of that he does all the visual editing of their music videos. Jonah grew up with both parents being choir masters and taking him to choir rehearsals etc. from the earliest age. One of his aunts was a locally famous Swedish opera singer. Other family members are also musicians, and he said that it gets pretty nerdy around the dinner table sometimes ;) He started singing practically from age 1, but only discovered his ability to sing lead vocals in a band later on in life. He studied both classical as well as jazz piano, and listened to everything from classical to jazz (Herbie and Chick Corea I’m sure being amongst them) to pop and everything else. Check out a three-part interview with Jonah on Stratele Studio’s KZbin channel. Other Dirty Loops tracks to check out (apart from most of them being mindbogglingly awesome) would be “Work Shit Out”, (warning: extended keyboard solos to die for, as well as a killer drum solo!🔥🔥), “Rock You”, “World on Fire” (🔥 Henrik bass solo alert!) or their cover of MJ’s “Thriller” in a collab with guitarist Cory Wong. All of them completely mindboggling. Then there is their latest release (dropped on March 7) of “Run Away”. And for the umpth time they have exploded the internet and removed boundaries we didn’t even knew existed! Enjoy 😉🙏👍

Welcome to the world of Dirty Loops! So much for you to discover: "Rock You", "Work Shit Out", "Follow the Light" and especially "Thriller" 😀

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 power house of a group. Dirty Loops is a Swedish band, based in Stockholm, and 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. And believe it or not, they are just as stupidly good live. My personal favourite is one of their more jazz fusion-y pieces, "Work Shit Out". They've all known each other and played together for 20+ years by now, in their mid-to-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 as his main subject. The backing vocals are pre-recorded and are all Jonah. Henrik 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." Also, they're just about to release a new single. The video should b up tomorrow, and it should be available on streaming services on Friday, according to their social media. I am embarrassingly hyped for it, hahaha!

Ooooh thanks for this! Awesome to know a bit of a background!

@brewswillis9783 3 ай бұрын

Well done and kudos PR, you nailed it and looking forward to more reactions from you. My personal fave Dirty Loops tracks are Follow The Light, Work Shit Out, World On Fire, Thriller (yes that cover) etc so any of those will satisfy me as a new sub! Cheers!

No, he's not doing any background vocals through they keyboard. He (the keyboard player) happens to be doing all the background vocals, but as overdubs in the studio. The other guys only make appearances behind the mics for show. Glad you liked this video. Now you know why I love to watch people react to it. Interesting that you got a Lingus vibe from it. I hadn't heard that before. But I know what you meant, particularly at that one part.

Lovely reaction! Did you catch that we got to see Jonah, the singer, on bass, and Henrik, the bass player, on drums, for a few seconds? Why not try another DL song, like Rock you, or Work shit out? Quite different from what you heard now. Or just pick a random DL song! You will likely like it!

@PiesReacts 3 ай бұрын

Yes I did notice that. Didn’t say anything but it was definitely noticed! Will try out work shit out I think
