I didn't really know where to post this, so if this is thought of as spam; I'm sorry and feel free to delete :smiley:
Swedish trio Dirty Loops just released their first original track after getting recognized for their Youtube-videos and signed with a big record company. So I thought I'd share the video and enlighten those whom have never heard of this amazing band! Enjoy :metal

I was actually coming on here to see if people were talking about this track haha. I've had it on repeat for the last like 30 minutes. It's veryyy catchy.
-
Hehe, yeah I'm going between this and their cover of Britney's "Circus". They're so talented!
-
I'm a bit torn, this guys are very talented and do some great stuff on that song but the overall poppy sound they generate throws me off
Edit: Don't get me wrong, there's nothing about a song sounding poppy per-se, but the specific sound they generate is what throws me off.
-
It's definitely a very different sound/vibe that they have. I haven't heard it before so it's new and refreshing for me which is why I think I'm really feelin' the track.
-
Yes Dirty Loops, I went at the same school as Henrik a bunch of years ago. They're extremly talented and deserve every credit they can get. Their music may not be for everyone but they're legit players which is refresh in today's popular music scene.
I hope this will be the rise of real muscians getting playtime on radio.
-
Very very talented guys. Songwriting isn't their strongest suit but this still beats everything you hear on radio.
- Tiko
-
Pretty cool groove there. Not too crazy about that guy's vocal stylings, but the playing is top notch. :tup
-
Hnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Finally some more material from these guys. Need an album NOW.
-
I'm digging the tune, and am definitely getting their album when it comes out. I'm really glad I discovered these guys a year or two ago.
-
I guess this could be OK. I'll keep it on my radar but will definitely need to hear more songs as they become available before I commit.
-
Those guys are absolutely sick and pretty much like their first original. Popmusic as it should be... imagine the charts flooded with artists like those guys! Ohhh what a good world that would be... :heart
-
HHNNNNNGG... love this song.
-
The song is pretty good and their chops are great, but that autotune effect on the vocals drives me nuts :|
-

What makes you think there's an autotune effect on his vocals? Pretty sure that's just his voice. They're playbacking to the album track which has some extra vocal layers if that's what your saying.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's his voice. He's a great singer but that one part at the end is a little over the top for me but I still loveeee the track.
-
Love these guys. Their bass player is holy shitballs amazing.
-
He does wail a little too much actually. Especially in this track.

What makes me think there's an autotune effect on his vocals? The fact that there's an autotune effect on his vocals, for starters :lol It's extremely obvious and was clearly done intentionally, in the same vein as Cher has done in the last few years, although not quite as saturated as Cher's stuff.

I hope you ain't talking about Cher's Believe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Uu3kCEEc98) right? :lol That is a pretty far out comparison if so. To me I hear nothing out of the ordinary with his voice. I hear a clean voice with maybe some effects in the mix but nothing that would alter his pitch or anything. Is there a ceartain section your thinking about?
-
The guy sounds pretty much the same way live.
-
I certainly don't hear any signs of a pitch correction tool. If they actually used it he must've sung everything almost spot on anyway.
-
So the album has been out for a while and boy was it a disappointment. A few great tracks, but overall just meh. The groove and the fusion have more or less disappeared in favor of a more pop and even EDM sound. There are a few moments where they're allowed to shine, but then it all subsides.
Overall, I feel like this album is missing exactly what drew me into completely fanboying over them earlier. I don't know whether to blame the musicians or Universal, or to even blame someone at all. I almost feel betrayed.
-
Really? I'd say the album is pretty much what I was expecting - funky jazzy pop music. The only real difference I've noticed is that there's more use of synth sounds, whereas their cover songs had much more piano, and personally I prefer the piano stuff. But otherwise I'm finding it a really groovy, enjoyable album!
-
I don't know that much about this band, but their new song kicks all kinds of ass.
Work Shit Out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_GTgpdoCh0)
-
I just read my previous comment that I didn't like what I heard from these guys before, but this song is absolutely fantastic. I need to check them out again.
-
I would love to see these guys live sometime. That was a cool song.
-
DAMN that's good. Wow. I didn't even notice there was no guitar until someone commented that. Even more impressive.
-
I watched a dirty loop the yesterday afternoon, and.... wait, um, sorry, wrong thread.
-
So a bit off-topic but I stumbled upon this collab between Henrik Linder (Dirty Loops), Matt Garstka (Animals as Leaders) and jazz pianist Eldar Djangirov.
It's out of this world crazy and very proggy. The combination of Drums, acoustic piano and bass works really great.
GEM - "Torque" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3NfCWMwayA)
GEM (feat. Matt Garstka) - "Vertigo" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt8LO0boWT8)

That looks interesting. I'll look into it tomorrow when I'm at home and I can access Youtube.

Work Shit Out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_GTgpdoCh0)
yes it does (as does this one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsqh9jHkHlM , it's off of their first album called Loopified which I highly recommend)
-
anyone know what the status of their new album?

last time I checked, the status was that they released Work Shit Out and are currently finishing another piece to be released soon(ish). There seem to be no plans to release a full album as of now, but rather singular pieces at a time. I don't know why.
-

I think you'll like it, Vertigo is probably my favourite. Some insane playing from everyone.
-
Really cool band, been waiting their 2nd album for a while now.
-
Such a cool arrangement by Dirty Loops and nicely transcribed by this guy:

-
Here is their newest piece which came out today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYc5zrXC52k
-
These guys are just so freaking cool. Like jocks and nerds all in one package. I just want to be their fren so I can protec.
-
Have somehow missed Next to You, damn that's a killer song. Liked that much more than Work it out and Rock You.
-
I love all three of them, seriously. And then to think that they'll actually make a new album (finally....)
-
So, thread-necromancy... I just recently discovered Dirty Loops with a video of "Coffee Break is Over" that was floating around on Facebook. Since then, I've checked out most of their music videos on YouTube. Their cover approach is certainly interesting with some great reharmonizations and interpretations, but their original songs like "Coffee Break Is Over" is where I'm more interested. Everyone has some great chops! I went out and bought the four singles they released earlier this year on Bandcamp, and I recently read here that they are releasing a new EP soon as well!
-Marc.

Yeah, I've been waiting for some new material from these guys for a while. They do some very interesting music and, as you say they've got some great chops.

I've listened to it, it's really good! I'm excited for the new EP - they just released a teaser for it on their YouTube channel the other day.

Dafuq is the keyboard player wanking on there?
Jelusick is hellasick.
Also, there's just something really creepy about a guy shredding while making intense eye contact. *shudder*
-
Extremely talented group of guys. Sound is too over the top and cheesy for my taste though. Much respect but not my cup of tea.

So I’m listening to these guys right now on Marc’s recommendation. Not sure how much replay value it will have, but on first listen I am digging the amazing instrumentation on these extremely catchy pop tunes.

I was coming here to post this. I love that they collaborated with Cory since I've been listening to a lot of his material lately. I think it was a good fit and that his guitar brought an interesting new level to the song, though it is barely audible in some sections which is a shame.
-
Really great stuff as always. I just love their sound and vibe.
-
I much prefer the second tune, more up my alley. Although I will always enjoy and respect great musicianship.

Are you referring to Ring of Saturn? I just heard that tune and I agree with you, I like it much better. I never thought I'd hear Cory playing latin jazz, but here we are.

Yea that's the one. I also like how well Dirty Loops adapts to that style.
The Horns was more present in the mix compared to Follow the light. Speaking off the horns, that section is killer: https://youtu.be/S5WjMfpC59k

They just released a very Dirty Loops Thriller cover

Best one so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjaLOk1_aRg&ab_channel=CoryWong
I love this so much more than the poppy stuff even though the musicianship is still there regardless, it's also more in a Cory style and I love his music.

Er, yes, the album is called Turbo and it's already out. :lol
It's a damn fun album!

One thing though, Aron is a great drummer but I wished he used a deeper sounding snare for this tune. It kinda sticks out too much in the mix for my taste but not a biggie though.

:yeahright
Anyways, I listened to the album a couple of times. It's just great. Fantastic collaboration with Cory.

Heard them for the first time today. Like Michael Jackson joined Snarky Puppy.

Just watched this and was blown away. Aron's kit looks amazing in this video, too. Love vibes and sounds of this one. I saw the bandcamp message about this saying it's their "First new single in 25 years. Great to be back!" What a wild thing to realize, though I guess the videos and EPs they put out in the last decade didn't count? Either way, I hope their new album drops before the end of the year!

Ooohh

Cool. Will check the new song. I dug Turbo with Cory Wong.
Confused about the 25 year thing. They've only been a band since 2008? 🤔

Okay, I didn't think they were together for over 25 years. They must be having a laugh. :lol
