In the Room With Dirty Loops! 

We had a great time! Thank you so much for having us Rick!!

I remember talking with some members of Tower of Power after one of their shows in 2013ish and they were mentioning how insane Dirty Loops were.

When everyone is the best musician in the band! Spectacular musicians

I am happy that Aron mention Yellowjackets Will Kennedy. He was one of the first drummers I fell in love with, besides Steve Smith. ’. Fughin loved Yellowjacket back then. And still :) Aron is a rock in DL. Talk more about him!

Just saw them in Nashville, those guys are TIGHT. You also wouldn't be shocked that there wasn't a single non musician in the crowd lol.

Such an icredible Band. They deserve so much more attention. Thank you Rick!

First influence Jonah named is Lyle Mays. So happy always to hear Lyle's name. I hear it in Jonah's playing!

…everyone politician in Sweden that wants to cut down the contribution for culture and musicschools should listen to this. Music education and the ability to borrow intrument and have place for rehersal is SO important! 🙌🇸🇪

Just saw Dirty Loops live a month or so ago and barely knew who they were. They were absolutely fucking incredible. Just unreal.

Finally, Dirty Loops at Rick Beato, been waiting for years!

'Work Shit Out' is a masterclass in music on so many levels: composition, arranging, musicianship, production, etc. Rick, I would love to see/hear you do a breakdown of this song. My jaw dropped the first time I heard it - and it still floors me after multiple listens.

HOLY CRAP. After watching YOUR interview I've spent the next few hours educating myself on the music of Dirty Loops. THANK YOU RICK Great music is indeed being made by these incredible YOUNG musicians. As soon as they mentioned Lyle Mays I knew "this aint just some average band."

True humble artists. Free from social media. Only focused on music THANK YOU!!!!

We saw them live in San Francisco in 2014 just as they were getting started. Saw them again last week. So stoked at the success and recognition they are getting

Dirty Loops are from another planet...Their musicianship/creativity are like no other......One of the dopest band in the world.

As an old timer jazz pianist, it gives me a good feeling that so many fusion, jazz, funk bands are having a lot of success with young listeners. It would seem the public has a more sophisticated listening taste than I used to give them credit for.

A band made for musicians. Love it.

These guys are brilliant. The Turbo album that they did with Cory Wong during the pandemic was absolutely dope too, considering they did it all remotely.

For me personally, they are the discovery of the century

Dirty Loops changed a lot things in music. It’s beautiful. Thank you Dirty Loops.

Omg I can't believe how humble they are!! They're top notch musicians 🙌 thx Rick❤

An absolutely amazing band. Their musicianship is off the charts.

Two things: Social media is obviously the modern way for artists to promote their work but the artists talked about, Jacob, Vulf, Snarky, Corey and DL are the most talented musicians in the world today who also have the visual production talent as well. Another thing they all have in common which I believe is natural because of their talents is widespread collaboration. And please let me tell you a quick DL story; We purchased their M&G package really only to get early admission because there’s no way we weren’t getting to the rail for their show. I am not a musician, I can only play the volume knob on my stereo but these three men were so gracious. They were actually standing in front of the stage waiting to greet our group as we entered the venue. They made a point to shake hands and greet everybody individually. They invited the group on stage to see and talk about all the gear. They were so humble and so welcoming. As people they left such a positive impression on me. As for the shows, I’ve seen all of the modern musicians mentioned and DL certainty fits in this elite group of musicians. I wish they played more shows in the Northeast on this tour. We did two shows and I tried and tried to get to more but timing and last minute expensive flights just couldn’t work for me. I hope they come back this way sooner than later!! We saw JC last night and we’ll also see him in NYC Friday night. I didn’t think it was possible for JC to perform better than the last tour but he has raised the bar again!! Or as we all know, musically He is “the bar”. Stunning performance on many levels. Just like the lyric Lin wrote; “Look around…. We’re so lucky to be alive right now” Rock on!!

Thank you Rick for giving them airtime. DL has, almost single-handedly, renewed my faith in modern music.

These guys cook, plain and simple ..a real band of players, rare in today's world of music

30:47 I love the awkward and shy faces when they present the song to Rick. Love Dirty loops and this new skrillex style

I'm a simple girl. I see the Dirty Loops, and I click.

OMG! I never would have expected to see them interviewed here! What a great time with an amazing band

Thousands upon thousands of bands put up videos online. The difference is some bands are just so good, that once it starts playing, the person listening is fully engaged. The first time I saw a Dirty Loop video it was the Baby tune... and it was insanely great and I watched it many times.

Within seconds of hearing Dirty Loops for the first time, I realized I will never be anything close to what you can call "talented" when it comes to music. Three of the most brilliant minds you will find. Looking forward to listening to this one

I love their original music! I was talking with my bassist about Dirty Loops and how they should be on the charts instead of boring TikTok loops. Incredible playing and vocals.

Proud to be Swedish! Tack Rick Beato, du är en fantastisk intervjuare.🤩

I was watching (For about the 50th time) DL playing "Work Sh*t Out" and as Jonah was doing his solo, I thought to myself "He would probably be a FANTASTIC movie score writer" And here he is, saying he wants to get into movie score composing!

I always felt there were two outstanding bands from the last decade still to be interviewed by your goodself. Ok, you got the Loops and now we just need an interview with Knower!

Humble (major) talent is so infectious! These guys are a breath of fresh air.

they are humble and talented lads

Dirty Loops is a modern-day Rush making dance pop, and it's glorious.

These guys are absolutely phenomenal musicians. Every song they release is mindblowing. Also, pluss points for great sense of subtle humor.

I was SO happy to see these guys in your studio!! I only recently became aware of Dirty Loops. I was (and I remain) absolutely floored by these guys! I have introduced them to anyone who will listen! Thank you for this interview! (edited to add... After hearing Jona mention the Metheny tune Heat of the Day. I listened. I could HEAR how that inspires Jonah to this day. Amazing!)

totally underrated band, they definitely deserve more. Cheers up for naming Lyle Mays, incredible musician.

I remember the first time I heard Dirty Loops on RU-vid, that first black and white video, I was backstage at a festival in Switzerland and I grabbed the rest of the band and shared it around everyone to see… these guys are ‘musicians musicians’ we all agreed. Fast forward to several years later we were doing a show in Japan and Dirty Loops were in town also doing a show the following night. We invited them to ours, and then we went to theirs. Top humans in real life too!

I would have not heard of Dirty Loops were it not for RU-vid. I was watching various bass players like Federico Malaman, drummers like Gergo Borlai, keyboard players like Valeriy Stepanov, etc. and the RU-vid algorithm suggested that I might like this band. The algorithm was correct! I love Dirty Loops. Excellent musicians and great music.

I discovered them through that NAMM performance of Just Dance. And that's when Henrik became my favorite bassist ever. He thumps, slaps, nails killer pulloffs, and harmonics. On a six string Mattison with tempered frets. He is a bassist's bassist.

The new setup is great Rick ! This table will soon become THE table for interviews! And what a blast to see them here, love these guys !!

Lyle 🎹😊…even a cursory RU-vid search for Lyle demonstrates how immensely deeply musicians are impacted by him, and feel his loss 🎶

Literally my favorite band right now. Dirty Loops are unreal.

You can't not love these guys,they're just brilliant in so many ways.❤

This is so exciting!!! I saw them in LA on April 13. They are amazing. But why didn't they make the cut to the regular Rick Beato channel?

Wholesome swedish music geniuses at work! 🤩👌🏻

I love how the build-up to and the piano solo in Work Shit Out is a pure homage to "The Heat of the Day".

Brecker Bros in Barcelona is amazing, so happy to hear a shout out

Humble Swedes! “Jantenlagen” is alive and well with these phenomenal musicians. You guys are awesome!

Saw them live 10 years ago in Denver and again a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to meet them. They are sooooo nice and generous. They have been my FAVORITE band since their first RU-vid videos. I REALLY hope they don't wait another 10 years to return to the USA!

We used to reherse wall to wall with Dirty Loops some years ago. Not my kind of music, but you have to be amazed of how great they are. Even in rehersal they sound better then everthing elese😃😃😃

Probably the best group I've ever seen live. These guys are unbelievably tight and leave it all on the stage

Utterly original experience listening to these guys... and they seem equally down to earth in this interview.

I’d love to see a collab with them and Matteo Mancuso … that’d be soooo good

Great interview! And that note that Jonah hits in Breakdown is actually Bb5. Just a little more than two octaves below the right end of an 88 key grand piano (which would be C8). Damn impressive! And the way he cries it is beautiful.

These guys’ talent speaks for itself…. But I’m glad social media has served them (and the world) so well, in getting their music to us. Thank you, Rick and Dirty Loops.

Swedish people are always soooooo humble. These guys are great!!

I just saw them in Vancouver. I'm not typically keen on rock concerts that demand hours of standing, but as a novice bass player, I couldn't pass up the chance to witness a bass god up close. The next day's backache? Completely worth it!

I feel like I've been living under a rock. Why have I never heard of Dirty Loops? Thank you so much Rick for the interview. I'm listening to everything they have done and they are amazing. I definItely hear Lyle Mays in Jonah's playing. In some of their early videos, the arrangements sound to me like some of the things Ross and Gino Vanelli did in the 70s only much funkier.

Dear Rick, i couldn't believe it: my favorite RU-vidr Rick interviewing my favorite band Dirty Loops. Thank you so much! Greetings from lower bavaria!

Arron's drums always have the Porcaro tuned sound. Love it !

Heinricks bass playing is sight to behold. hes up there with jaco, he is the jaco of 6 string bass

Great interview, Rick!! These guys are immensely talented and simultaneously humble and down to earth. Glad that you were able to get them to sit down with you for a relaxed, extended conversation.

I really like this band! I am looking forward to see them live in Stavanger, Norway, 3. mai 2024.

have been following dirty loops since the "baby" era they are just truly incredible, and ow gosh their Runaway song is just a masterpiece

Congratulations Rick! Your best video yet! 😁

These guys are amazing. I haven't kept up with what they've been doing, but those covers they did a few years ago blew my mind. They also recorded the best version of the Samsung Galaxy theme song.

I found the loops on youtube. I was amazed. You don’t get artists of this quality on radio. Have bought their albums. Really sensational band.

This band brought me out of a terrible funk a few years back. I heard 'Follow the Light' and Dirty Loops changed my life. I went through their entire catalogue and was blown away by the quality of their music. I wish they would come to Australia. I'd love to see them live. That would be amazing.

One of my favorite artists from Sweden that nearly NOBODY knows about, Salem Al Fakir, opened my eyes to the incredible talent coming from that country! Discovered him around the mid 2000s and had a similar sound to Dirty Loops, less on the jazz fusion but heavy on the soul/r&b, gospel, and rock, but production style was very similar. He’s mainly a violinist, so the depth of his music stems mostly from orchestral styles. Sweden is definitely powerhouse of musicians!

Thriller and Work Sh!t Out are mandatory listening for anyone with taste in music. (among other songs) Reaction channels helped "viral-ize" these guys and keep their stuff in the algorithm.

I dream about Rick doing an interview with Jonah alone at the piano, singing and playing. And two more with each one of the other two awesome players.

Even djent dudes are in awe of these talented musicians. I practically watched all their covers back in the day. Amazing

Whoever Aron's drum tech is is a complete boss. Went to their Denver show, and that snare was the best sounding snare I've ever heard. Holy cow.

They are so humble!

Sooo glad you got these guys on Rick and they deserve the exposure that your channel offers them so much 👏🏻👏🏻 Amazing musicians and so humble considering how gifted they are. REN is another artist who has done an amazing job at promoting his music on social media, especially RU-vid.

I LOVE Dirty Loops!! Thank you SO much for doing this interview, Rick!! And I hope that my two favorite groups work together a lot: Valeriy Stepanov and Dirty Loops! :)

Yes, great players, great people, great band, great music. And wonderful that Lyle Mays gets such a solid mention. He was an exceptional player whose nuanced musicality made him unique in a world where flash and speed tend to dominate the narrative. We should also remind ourselves that these lads are all speaking English as a second language. They're articulate, personable, have great vocabulary and express themselves without the need for cliches and profanity (not that Rick would tolerate the latter). Plus, it's probably safe to say that bottles of Jack Daniels, a bag of medicinals and a bowl M&Ms with no brown ones are unlikely to be on their tour rider.

Wow! I hoped for that a very long time. I am a huge fan of Dirty Loops, saw them a few times live, and they are just breathtaking. I am so happy to see them together with Rick! Thank you!

Great band. Lovely dudes. Love them. Super talented it's unreal. ❤

These guys are each incredible, but Henrik is absolutely insane. ❤

Swedens musical education, that starts from a very young age, is probably the best in the world. Although, the very first instrument they taught us was the recorder. Every parents worst nightmare.

High fiving Henrick after a show is still by far my greatest musical achievement!

Loyal viewer. This is a first. This is the first artist you've talked about that I've been totally in the clouds about. HOLY F-CK BALLS. They are awesome! Pop artists who not only know who Lyle Mays is, but can play a little like him??? (piano solo on "Work Shit Out" is serious) I now have a fantasy. 3 years from now I'll accidentally turn on the Grammy's and instead of the parade of off-key, simplistic, vomitus mediocrity that crosses that stage I'll see these 3 guys blowing everyone's minds...young kids and old musicians alike. Not a Taylor Swift in sight. Maybe just maybe the music is gonna be ok.

I could watch more 2 hours of that. Love Dirty Loops! Those dudes are legends!

I can't get out of my head the musical explosion that could have been the encounter between Michael Jckson and Dirty Loops, who drew a lot of inspiration from him. Listen to Rock You, it's a track we'd have loved to have had at the same time from a Jackson supercharged with Bad sauce, but even more Bad. Thank you Rick for this interview, and bravo for accepting to be the candid old man (which I am too) by asking questions that the band has trouble answering. They too seem a little overwhelmed by young people, the real ones, for whom music is an earful of chewing gum that they experience like everything else through the founding, structuring and vital element that is the iPhone.

DL: the first videos were so bad RB: I think they're cool! DL: yeah ☺ They accept compliments so well

Thank you, Rick. I’ve been listening to them non-stop for the last 5 years. Refreshing to hear such musical talent.

An excellent interview with an awesomely talented group of musicians. Thank you to Sweden for encouraging music in their children's lives - I only wish the rest of the world would be so gracious.

Incredible band. Took my daughter to see them about 10 years ago in Toronto. I was in my late 50s and she was mid 20's and we both loved them. In fact after the concert she said this is my new favorite band.

Have just been listening to them lots the last few days from the Fonda Theater, by way of cohalen's adventures. 🥳❤Reanimating me. Great together! Tight in the best way❣️

😍😍😍Thank you Rick, for this one! They need to be seen, they need to be heard!

Now Iike these guys even more.

A friend shared with me the Hit Me vid from RU-vid back in 2015. I've been a Dirty Loops fan ever since! They are primo musicians!!!

The guy who strikes me as closest to the sheer melodic virtuosity of the Dirty Loops guys is Valeriy Stepanov out of Russia. His fusion project and other things he does is just sublime if you love fusion and pop influences melded together in an incomparable way. He's also a killer singer and guitarist - maybe Jonah should give him a call.

Oh my God, I love dirty loops! I can’t believe you’re talking to them! You talk to everybody that matters, lol.

This is such a great interview! Hearing Dirty Loops talk about bands like Pat Metheny Group (especially the Imaginary Day album which is my personal favorite), ToTo, Brecker Brothers and Chick Corea… made me stupidly giddy.
