One of my favourite pastimes on KZread is to watch other musicians react to Dirty Loops. What’s unique about them is that they essentially do straight up pop songs that speak to non-musicians. Pop songs which they ”loopify”, eg. put through the ringer of their vast musical knowledge and abilities as players. They’re really doing us an educational service, if you think about it. Because casual listeners still love their songs, but they also get exposed to things they’re not normally exposed to. (Which is sorely needed in today’s pop, consisting of the simplest cut-and-pasted chords). The second thing that stands out to me is how insanely good their recordings sound. It seems one of their friends do all the mixes for them, but man does that guy know what he’s doing. Just listen to the drums on this one. How often do you hear acoustic drums sound this good? Their arrangements are rich and dense, but you can still hear everything clearly. I’m kind of lost for words, really.

I love that you have discovered Dirty Loops… you have just scratched the surface 😊

Excellent use of the Brazilian berimbau in this song. You don't hear it very often.

Berimbau it's from Angola, Africa. Taken to Brasil by slaves and popularized by the great Nana Vasconcelos

Jazz? Pop? Funk? You will never be able to define that, they are the perfect musical shapeshifters.

Exactly. How do you define sunlight when your bathed in it's extreme light all around you? That's what these guys are. Sunlight. Intense. Undefinable. Extreme Illuminating. Powerful.

So, we, the Wilburn Army, should set ourselves to arranging somehow a one-night show featuring Dirty Loops and Snarky Puppy, together, and make sure Chod and Dee witness it. At the end, it will be up to Dee to revive Chod, who will be on the floor, quivering, in the fetal position with an unremovable grin across his face and a look of searing bliss in his eyes.

Dirty Loops and Snarky Puppy doing a collab..............we need a bigger planet to house all that awesomeness

Check out their version of Thriller…..crazy.

First off, she's super beautiful. The way she said "what?" when you said the title cracked me up. It's one thing to be able to make something like this in the first place. But they're on some whole other beast stuff for memorizing it all for the video. First time I heard this song/saw the video, I thought it was all live. I was shocked to find that it wasn't. Like you said repeatedly, they're just too good.

"World On Fire" should be next I don't understand how it didn't become a huge hit. Take some time, digest this musical 12 course meal, and then go back for thirds.

If you haven’t seen Dirty Loops Songs for lovers yet, please check it out. Pink Power, Bitten by the Kitten and Coffee Break is over

I was actually lucky enough to see them in NYC for a showcase. Met them after the show. Phenomenal show, precision musicians, and wonderful people.

Wait till you do follow the light. ...🤯🤯 Also on a side note your dad would love larnell lewis zildjian live.

Just about everyone who watches their songs, doesn't know what to say at the end!!😮😮😮

Amazed to see you doing back to back Dirty Loops reactions. Take your time and savor the greatness. Since this song highlighted Aaron's drumming wizardry, maybe you would like to see a song featuring Hendrick the bass monster. "World on Fire" is a good choice but really all of their songs bring that level of musical amazement. Keep them coming. I'm so glad your wife enjoyed them too. Bring her along on your journey down the DL rabbit hole.

Everyone Shines!!! in this band.

Phenomenal musicians. It's almost unreal - whether it's their own productions or covers like Adele Michael Jackson. Please continue with Dirty Loops! ✌️

I love the sound of his snare. Also his toms.

Yes, they blow you away, for real…… Thanks for both of you to come and give this Sh!t it’s respect 🙏🙏 Like she said, it’s art, and immaculate is not too strong a word either, I reckon ☺️ Pretty sure you’ll come back to this piece and listen to it all the way through, in one go, with headphones on. Enjoy 🔥 Henrik’s bass sound is to die for, Aron’s drum solo and sound as well, and Jonah with his keys solo, his riffs and his angels voice… And the writing and arranging? Epic and so good! “World on Fire” and “Rock You” from the same album are epic too -everything they do is epic… Listening to them play is like: I’m outta here, never want to touch my instrument again, how can I call myself a musician in the face of these skillz?! But then I know that those three guys practiced their chops endlessly. Henrik and Aron are said to have stayed on in their music Con school after hours most days and just practiced pocket for hours, nothing but locking in together. They are the tightest drum n bass team on earth, for sure. Looking forward to that Dirty Loops journey together and to more reactions! 👍🙏👍

Thank you so much for loving my favorite band.

you said: this is unreal!

Another great reaction! I like how they write and play complex music for those who can understand what's going on while still making it catchy and fun for non musicians.

Great reaction. The bass player and drummer absolutely kill.

I'm obsessed. You're right, it's Art. Good art requires immaculate technique and Heart, and that makes all of the difference. Most folks - no matter what they're doing - are satisfied with good enough. Art always looks to see what is necessary, and what is beyond.

Jazz Fusion is what it sounds like to me. Great stuff!

Follow the light with guest Cory Wong. Michele Jackson meets Stevie Wonder

Three boys från Stockholm, Sweden met in highschool., started playing together, went on to study music at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. Aaron (drummer) and Henrik (bass) chose the rock dept. and Jonah (keyboard, vocals) studied classical piano. They started putting out covers on their youtube channel 10 years ago, Quincy picked them up and sent them on an Asian tour with David Foster back in 2015 and signed them. Voilá! I envy the fun and amazement you have ahead of you! Great reaction! New subscriber here!

I was wondering about their background cause they play at an insane level. Makes sense that they got together back in highschool as musicians, all decided on going to the same college to study music & went on from there. Sounds to me like they came up with a general game plan back in highschool, put in the work, time & effort to achieve it cause it shows. Glad they're finally getting noticed

Man you gotta check out Dirty loops and cory wong - Follow the light. Other songs would be , Rock you, Thriller , World on Fire, Turbo. The bassist and drummer side project ''Songs for lovers'' and their songs, lastly the singer's own songs, would highly recommend Jonah Nilsson - Diamond Ring

Yep - all of those.

Yes, they're that good when they're talking to each other in the middle of the video. More importantly: they're having that much fun, let's keep remembering the fun y'all.

Your heart will race, you won't be able to stop moving, and you will have a big smile on your face the whole time. Dirty Loops rabbit hole is a thing. They have many other amazing songs: Follow the Light, Rock You, Thriller (MJ cover), Turbo, etc. All soooo goood!

They have a lot of songs)))) Do the another reaction (Rock You, songs from collab with Cory Wong, etc)

Love the reaction! Please do "Follow the light" by Dirty Loops next. The bass playing is amazing in that one.

I love Dirty Loops and I watch reaction videos for reactions. You two supplied, honest, righteous, mucho enjoyable reactions that were well worth the listen. I hope this is OK to say but the two of you together are just adorable. Be well!

WILBURN, AFTER ALL OF THE MUSIC YOU HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO AS OF LATE YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT THESE GUYS ARE!!! These are guys that were raised on Cobham, RTF, Weather Report and Jonah's solo is ala Herbie Hancock for sure. They were musical prodigy's in Sweden and I actually had the honor of seeing them do a showcase here in L.A. and they were doing covers at the time and as good as these videos are they are believe me when I tell you they are just as good live!!!! The quality of the sound is due to Quincey Jones producing them once he heard Jonah sing and noticed the similarity between him and Stevie Wonder and especially Michael Jackson. You need to hear them with Cory Wong or the song Follow the Light you will be astounded

Can’t wait to continue the journey through Dirty Loops land in two weeks again then! 😅👍🏻 Just pick a song, whatever and it’s very likely to bring the oh and ah (and awe) back. 🤩

I saw them live in April in Helsinki. Great concert!

Work Shit Out is an epic musical journey! This is what happens when session players decide to stretch out

Time to strip it down. Scary Pockets. Sweet Child O' Mine with Sam Wilkes on bass. You Shook Me All Night Long with Judith Hill on vocals, Daniel Aged on bass, Tamir Barzilay on drums. The list is a long one.

Thanks Chod. Appreciate another great reaction. Because of processing and your heart n all as you said 😅…try their version of Michael Jacksons Thriller with Cory Wong.

Oh and they are from Sweden but come out to the US often. Aron is the drummer, Jonah vocals/Keys and Henrik the beast on Bass. Cheers!

Great to witness you both being loopyfied. 💯🥰🇸🇪❤️. It's a swedish band. Subscribed for more DL.

I hate to say I told you so (not really) but I told you so. DL is one of the best groups to come around in any genre in the last 15 years. Hoping to see more of DL on the channel soon. Your comments were great and Chod, next time you react to them have a defibrillator near by in case you need to paddle your heart. We don’t want to lose you. 🔥🔥✌️

Great Reaction Wilburn! Listen to a soft song with Dirty Loops " Breakdown" Regards: Lasse from Sweden

Love your reaction, DL i the best. If your in to drums i think DLs version of "thriller" is interesting.. And they have a LOT of fun in ""coffeebreak is over" If you what to focus on bas Henrik Do solos on "world on fire" or why not a early song "baby"

Good stuff

when you can look at the screen again..Follow The Light ;-)

Great reaction! Two things...one, there's a side project that's mostly Henrik and Aron called "Songs for Lovers"...it's about a 4 song EP....start with "Pink Power" and go from there. Also, if you search around there are a lot of very recent live bootlegs on here....lots of folks wonder if they're as tight live as they are on their videos....you can see for yourself (hint: get clean underwear)

Yeah Dirty Loops is really something else! You should listen to World On Fire, Breakdown, Hit Me. Their early covers aren't bad either, like Circus, Baby, Rude Girl...

best description for this is how maceo parker describes his own shows .... "2% jazz, 98% funky stuff".

This is my favorite song of theirs and the one I use to show people the band for the first time. It depicts what they said was the reason to get together. They were studio musicians and wanted to play things that would get them fired from a job, lol. Have fun and work shit out!

As a bassist, I've watched this video about 20 times or more -- original versions, reactions, etc. And I just realized tonight ... Henrik Linder's custom-built fretless 6-string guitar has NO control knobs ... no volume, no pick-up select, no tone controls (bass, midrange, treble), etc. Very rare.

This guys are soldiers. Fighting a war. And winning!

"Mugicians"! What a perfect description of them! 😀

I love to see a drummer react to this world class band. That drum solo is ill.

He is the KING of the snare rolls!!!!!!!

Saw them 10 days ago in Denver. KILLER.

Follow the light.........:-)

You are hilarious. "I feel like there's something in front of me I'm not supposed to have."

Fusion. Pack the genres together and that's it.

Told ya! Go ahead and check out some more

Welcome into The Loop!!! Good to see more people looking for REAL MUSICIANSHIP AND NOT ENTERTAINMENT. NOW YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT SNARKY PUPPY!!@

This genre is called, Jazz Fusion!!

They also colab with Cory Wong... awesome ! check out Thriller. great reaction

They are 3 guys that just have fun being musicians...The pocket is so deep and ridiculously tight... smooth y'all just smooth. .. discovered them by accident several months ago...been a fan ever since... blessings

They are in Sweden. All three went to the same music school. Henrik the bass player and Aron the drummer are Jazz trained.Jonha the keyboardist is Classically trained.

Well they are top academic musicians 😂 DAYUM!!

If you like this……check out the Fearless flyers

Dirty loops shows us there is still room to grow, to push the Envelope, I see a lot of great solo artist, but, a band with this level composition skills, is staggering!😃

Twas amazing said the girl yawning 🥱. Aficionada

Complete perfection. That is what they are. YR said the main idea of all their music. Its not a music by fact. It is a complete perfection. Like waterfall or sigh of orgasm.

You need to watch Songs for Lovers old armando had a farm , pink power and Bitten By The Kitten to see the amazing performances of the bass and drum maestros. THIS IS NAAAAASTY

You are in the loop now!

Dirty Loops! The Rembrandts of Sweden. x

Aron is king of the snare rolls!

can you do a reaction to Seven Lonely Streets by Atomic Rooster

I know, right? Too much goodness at once. Try Follow The Light next time. It´s more like a pop song but it´s so goooood.
