I've heard this so many times and the horn part always gives me chills!

Rock you next. Was my intro to Dirty Loops. I swear my face was like this 😮 the whole time. Classic case of more is more.

The former "Hornheads" are now "The Wongnotes" when they play with Cory. "Wongnotes" is my favorite pun of the year! 😀

A gong drum! This will blow your mind. Aron the drummer writes most of the Bass parts as told to me by Henrik in New York before sound check backstage!!!!!!!

I saw them live last night. With the amount of layering most of their videos have, I expected it to feel a little flat in a live performance, but they really made it work.

It's a double-bell euphonium.

Fan-super-tastic reaction, Matt! I’m so grateful that you continue to showcase the work of these amazing dudes, and have your mind blown right here with us ☺️🙏 Just a few things: I know it’ll be hard to answer everyone’s comments. So, as nice as these little convos are, I’m not expecting one this time. As far as other platforms go, I’m not on any of them and so can’t help you with any meaningful advice there. Yes, Dirty Loops and Cory & horns weren’t in the same room, or indeed on the same continent when making this. How they still could all come up with something as great as this, is beyond me. That shuffle is just such a great idea and completely changes the feel into one of the happiest Thrillers out there :D And yes, it’s a Double Bell Euphonium. They’re pulling out all the stops in creating that middle section. The funniest thing: you could smell something cooking!! 🤣 and you’re one of the few picking all sorts of subtleties in there. To me, it’s like they’re cycling through various genres and ages, from classical to jazz in this section. Jonah turning into Stevie Wonder, too ;) The mixing and mastering of these recordings are done by Simon Petrén, a fellow Swede and friend of DLoops. One of the best in the business, although I know very little about him. There are two YT interviews with him and some K-pop stars, both very interesting. There also is Cory Wing’s podcast interview with Henrik Linder on the making of this their collab album Turbo. If you like the horn section, check out the rest of this album when you have a minute. All the tracks are fire! Two more have a video attached: “Turbo” (the title track) and “Ring of Saturn”. Both great tunes, and very different from each other. Also, “Next To You”, “Rock You”, “Breakdown” and “World On Fire” by the Loops are a must-next-watch! And by then you haven’t even touched their first album, Loopified, with its incredible track list, or their Samsung Galaxy Ringtone remake, or their ‘Songs For Lovers’-project, or Jonah’s MINDBLOWING solo album…. I’ll shut up now. Enjoy the trip, man 🔥🔥🔥

Looove that you’re continuing down the rabbit hole! Hurry up and do more so your daughter can hear some new bangers in the car. 😅 ”Hit Me” or ”Rock You” by Dirty Loops could be a good next step, then maybe “Coffee break is over” or “Breakdown”. Later on it would be really cool if you also did ”Over the Horizon” by DL, the 2016 official Samsung ringtone. 😆 Only a couple of reactors have done that one so it would be a little bit more unique. It’s over on Samsungs channel. And last suggestion if you wanna do more Cory and DL, check out “Turbo” on his channel. Peace! 🙌🏻

Great and insightful reaction once again! I would love for you to go back whenever you can to the start that caught the attention of so many of us, including David Foster and eventually Quincy Jones. I’m talking about the covers they put out on KZread in 2010~2011 of Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Adele and others. As old friends and session musicians they did it just for fun and creative freedom, but they are still mind blowing. The harmonies, the skills, still holds to this day. How they “loopified” popular pop songs was unbelievable. I as a long time lover of jazz fusion as well as pop/rock was completely blown away, but thought they were Americans at first until I discovered they live just a few hundred yards from my apartment 😂😂😂

Yep. Filmed in different countries. All the Cory Wong stuff. I love how they thought to have the bass player randomly look to his right and Cory look to his left to simulate them on the same stage. Minor details that sell the end product. You're a drummer so you have GOT TO do Coffee Break is Over. So sick.

For the record you're the only reactor to this video that ever knew it was a double horn euphonium. Respect. I assume you know (through the comments) that the horn section is comprised of members from the Horn Heads...a "group" of players that played for the likes of Prince, among others. Hopefully fiddlesticks will elaborate. He (or she) comments on all the DL videos (as do I btw) and is knowledgeable on all things DL.

That's what it was!

The "Hornheads" are great! They toured with Prince.

The Hornheads are a collective of brass and woodwind session musicians based in Minneapolis-Saint Paul. They have played on albums and tours for a wide variety of musical artists, most notably Prince, who originally hired the musicians and led to the group's founding.

They are the Best!! And I just LOVE the faces you make when listning to them! I have exactly the same reactions that you do! Just love it! 🎶🎶👍👍🥰🥰🤪🤪

Two short jam sessions without lyrics are Bitten by the Kitten and Coffee Break is Over. Highly recommend also, for one of Henrik’s best bass solos is their cover of Justin Bieber’s song “Baby “. Commenting on every post will eventually prove impossible. I would love for there to be a ‘skip the line’ suggestion that we can pay for, perhaps facilitated through a website called ”Buy me a Coffee”. That way, those willing to contribute can have their suggestion pushed forward while at the same time you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of some monetization if you are waiting until later to start a Patreon. Thanks for all the hard work you’re putting in. We look forward to more.

That's crazy.

I think Discord is the popular choice for a reason, it’s easy to get started and it’s free for everyone. Lots of reactors seem to use it for their keeping in touch with their communities. About this one, I’m still mystified as to how Jonah manages to distribute his phrasing through this 12/8 time signature. There’s’ a lot of syncopation, but some of those phrases shouldn’t fit, and yet they do. But for me the horn section takes the cake on this one: Their version of the spoken section of the original is like from another world, so beautiful it hurts. Not to mention their double-tongued machine gun hits throughout. They’re superhuman. That crazy horn is a double bell euphonium. I never saw it before either.

Okay, yeah, if you dug the horn breakdown in this, you'll _adore_ Ring of Saturn. Highly recommended, and not a common one for reactors! Also, watch out for Kenni and his flute solo. They announce it with a whisper. ;) Also, Turbo, from the same album, has Kenni with a monster sax solo.

And there you have it - what it would sound like if Stevie Wonder would sing Thriller. Also the first reaction I've seen where you correctly identified the double euphonium. As a brass player, I want one. The brass section is, by the way, the Hornheads, part of Prince's brass section.

Possibly the only pop song ever recorded with a double-belled Euphonium. They had to come up with a different middle section since Vincent Price is no longer among us. i like the 12/8 feel and the quadruplets (4 over 3) when they came in… another flawless performance.

Yes - recorded on different continents, but please don't quit! 😂

I love the tight horns too. Corey Wong has those 'hornheads' on other songs and collaborations. Maybe try Snarky Puppy, who have a killer horn section. Maybe react to this album in order.

AFAIK, lots of comments helps your channel get pushed to new people, so you might want to think about ways to keep comments growing. I do not know if your "Community" posts and comments help. You might continue asking for reaction-recommendations there? Maybe ask people to post one artist on a comment, and people to upvote 👍 the first comment for an artist rather than post lots of comments for the same artists. YT will sort comments by upvotes (Top Comments), so it'd be easy to find the popular ones, Then take artist into their own Community post, and ask for songs, one/comment with upvotes 👍. Rinse and repeat. If that doesn't appeal, maybe start with Discord, and encourage discussions? You might create a few different topics, maybe one for new artists, a separate one for existing artists, and another for discussions. Maybe react to a couple of new artists each week to keep pulling in new fans. Maybe new artists are on a consistent day? Well done on your meteoric rise. Keep on doing what your doing because it clearly works. I think you're reacting to artists who's fans believe the music is sophisticated enough to merit a musician's opinion. Best Wishes to You and Yours. ☮ ① SPOILER ALERT Larnell does not listen once

You will thank me. The back story is this, Leonoid is a music Russian professor who loves the music of Chicago, so he could not get the music sheets because you know Soviet Union stuff, so he would write every note for every Instrument and would invite friends and former students to play the songs. Well they got so popular because they recorded the songs in a small studio and posted on KZread, they were so good that it took off, might I dare say they are actually better than Chicago, and I've seen Chicago live twice. The interesting thing is that they are mostly Russian and a few Ukrainian and they don't speak English, however they have gotten much better with the English language now since they have become increasingly popular and started touring in the United States, I've turned a bunch of my friends on to them and they have gotten a chance to see them live, I will be seeing them live myself in a couple of weeks close to my home in Florida. I would recommend you start with 25 or 6 to 4. Or Beginning. These are some of their earlier ones then you can see how much they progressed, their Earth Wind and Fire is ridiculous. ENJOY.

If you react to DL's "Breakdown" then that's exactly what will happen to you. You're in the rabbit hole now.

While the music is catchy and poppy... only a musician understands the incredible complexity and technical skills that are required to pull of a performance like this. I spent time as a professional touring musician in Nashville and I can tell you that the musicians (all of them) are not just top notch musicians.. they are WORLD CLASS top notch musicians. Dirty Loops themselves are three virtuosos playing in the same band. Essentially a supergroup.. not unlike Rush or some other incredible power trio's in music history.

I have bad news for you, bro. Now that you've heard this? You'll never be able to listen to the original again without finding it bland and kind of drab. xD

You introduced me to this group, and I'm very glad that you did. They are different from anything I usually listen to, and I am really enjoying them. Communication can get difficult as your channel grows. I am a Patreon on a couple of other channels and the ways that they handle things are different. One uses a combination of Patreon, and Discord. Having access to discord is one of the perks of being a patron. That Discord group is very active both among the patrons who sometimes have long discussions about everything under the sun, and with the reactor, who uses us as a sounding board for channel improvement and future directions. Patreon is used for announcements that are just for the patrons, and monthly song requests (another perk of being a patron) A different reactor uses the live chat that KZread provides to keep in touch with all of those who subscribe. Warning that, if you decide to go that route, have a pen and paper handy for song requests. That reactor also has a Patreon where you can message that person directly. The live chat is great and I would suggest that, while your channel is still relatively small, you take that route. The Patreon site there is kind of dead. Another just has a Patreon. That reactor has tried to get some discourse going on Patreon, but, so far, hasn't been very successful.
