➡️ What the #$@% did I just watch Henrik Linder do on bass?! I've always appreciated his forward-thinking, progressive approaches to the instrument that subvert all expectations. Just days ago, Dirty Loops dropped their new song "Run Away" -- and while reacting to brand new music isn't totally my style, I had to break my own rule considering how much I adore the band. I discuss the band's "poppier" stylistic shift, Henrik's two-handed tapping technique and arpeggios, his musical slap / pop / double-thump technique that traverses the strings so effortlessly, his choice of effects, Aron's mesmerizing drumming, a breakdown of the song's chord progression and the music theory behind it, and much more! I can't wait to hear the full record, if there is one... 🤯🙏🏼🇸🇪

I watched this video as soon as it came out and I'm still not convinced Henrik doesn't actually have extra hands.
I’m not either. I saw the thumbnail and thought it was just sort of a picture - didn’t expect to see it in the video. Nice touch!
I think he have six fingers.
Best bassplayer ever, right now?🤗
I don't want to be silly. It's a mannequin arms. CREEPY.
The drummers hi hat and cymbal work matching Henrik is a nice touch too
Just thought about that.
Henrik plays the lead AND rhythm guitar the same time in the solos...that is just to mouch to take in...and doing splits with rubber legs, 4 hands and a vice grip as "detuner (longer extra bottom range on the low string) :D I laughed my ass off!! :D Epic Dirty loops...the DL logo on Aarons back in "Def Leppards" font and in pink tights,.more toms and on a acrylic set with double bass drums as in the eighties Oh and then the "boy band "moves from Jonah in some elton John shades on 4 key boards :D You just have to love them !!!
Incredible attention to details! What a treat to hear more new stuff from them soon!
This is fucking ridiculous in the absolute best way. Seeing Dirty Loops live in May, and I'm hyped!
I have always suspected that Henrik has more fingers/hands than the rest of us. Good to see it finally confirmed.
Think 80's Van H and Vai . That's why the head band, huge kit, extra hands extra keys etc etc.
I seeeee! 😍
…and Henrik’s splits and fake dbl necked bass and fake cigarette on a fake headstock…
The whole visual thing just screams ridiculousness 🤣👍
Keyboardplayer standing up = 80´s
Definitely a salute? to 80's "looks" . Plexiglass 80's double bass drumset. 2 opposite keyboard racks ala Wakeman, Emerson era, Buggles/Elton John glasses, Phlorescent colors- 80's clothing , headbands, etc, 80's "look" . Bravo guys!!
What a treat to hear a review by someone as talented and musically knowledgeable as you.
Feels like this type of song has been coming for a while.
Henrik has been experimenting with different tones with bass - see Follow the Light.
The style reminds me of some of their earlier stuff which was much closer to dance music than Phoenix or Turbo were.
I get the feeling this is the song where they just let Henrik go absolutely nuts!
Frankly, if this is the sound of their next album, I'm all for it!
This is correct actually. Follow The Light showed how much Henrik has been experimenting.
Some obscure vintage synths there, the Korg Poly 61 and MiniKorg 700S.
Parody of them self, it’s DL humor 😂
Jonah - boyband look
Aron - 80 rock drummer
Henrik - bass alien 👽
The more times I watch the more it came clear.
So funny I love them : )
Great to find an intelligent, talented bassist react to and analyze this song -- in particular, Henrik's amazing bass part. I'm the former assistant editor of "Bassics" magazine and a contributor to "Bass Player." Keep up the great work!
Shucks Robert - thank you! Really cool to hear that - I’m sure you know Nick Wells, buddy of mine!!
@@LowEndUniversity No. I don't know him. Speaking of all things bass ... Have you ever heard Renaud Garcia-Fons on his 5-string, custom-made contrabasse -- both pizzicato and arco? Check out "Oriental Bsss" and "Navigatore." Not only is he playing several tracks of contrabasse on most songs ... but he composed, orchestrated, arranged and produced both albums; both with a 20+ piece orchestra comprising of both Western and Eastern instruments. His later projects are leaner, trio, duo, but all are exceptional. I guarantee they'll be life-changing for you.
Something I learned the other night is when you listen to this as a song and not watch it as a video, you hear things you might’ve missed because of how in the video you are😄I heard Aron’s hi hat cymbal work during the slapping but when I listened to it with just earphones I reeeeally heard it😂
Yeah totally worth it 👍
Ya, man. This was definitely a bass song. Frickin all bass, just rippin. Love it.
Best breakup song ever!
Totally agree
Had the chance to see Dirty Loops late last year at a club in Brixton. The guys are amazing live and so humble about it all.
Ive been waiting for this reaction since Friday
😎✌️
Thanks for this reaction.
I liked hearing some of your thoughts and analyses on bass technique and musical writing.
Interestingly, I found the mood lifted, got lighter with the regards at the end…. Each to their own :)
For me, this song took many times of listening, until the dust finally settled, mainly because the visuals are so confusing and crazy and over the top!
Henrik doing the splits, having ARON written on one of his fake hands (who edits all their videos, co-writes so much of their tunes and lyrics including some of Henrik’s bass lines)…
But listen to it with eyes closed, and so many other layers appear.
Can honestly not wait for the rest of this album-.
You’ve mentioned ‘Loopified’, and would’ve, without a doubt, also listened to their album ‘Phoenix’.
Henrik’s solo on “World on Fire” shows such a different side of him, right?
What’s there this dude can’t do? Not just shredding-wise, but also in purely musical and stylistic terms….!
Thanks again bro, this was great 👍
Great read, thank you! I don’t think I checked out “Phoenix” - they’ve done so many one-off singles that I forget what’s a part of what, but I definitely listened to Loopified album-wise! Appreciate you watching!
@@LowEndUniversity here a link to their album “Phoenix”:
czcams.com/play/OLAK5uy_lmf40qsHjfqvaNmVvTxoz_QP2Ho2oFcXY.html&si=uuy6tyuPNz45a3Dg
Henrik, whilst not shredding at all, still has an amazing solo in “World On Fire”, and brings the funk like you wouldn’t believe, in some of the other songs. Hair-raisingly funky 🔥☺️🔥
Enjoy! 👍
He just explained in the Rick Beato Interview, that he sent a lot of Bass FX samples and Aron the drummer put it together in post production
Go check out their video for 'Follow the Light', where he also flexes the octaver pedal.
Seen this video som many times now and so many reactions - but hasn´t gotten old yet, though i thought song wasn´t for me really - love Dirty Loops!
Can´t wait for the rest of the Album
Henrik uses an acoustic bass, it’s all in the fingers
This 80 s style song bring me back in my Teenie time. I can t get out of my ears. When Dirty Loops don t bring one other better song, Run Away is the SONG of the Year !!
😂😂😂😂 your face when he started the glitch tapping had me laughing so hard
That was so out of the blue 🤣
He has the Octaver to the side, so he can sweep the pedal, and hit the Octaver button when the sweep hits the peak. The video shows the technique. He's been using this setup for a few years now. He does something similar on Follow the Light, but this is far more evolved, imo.
Thanks for the reaction and analysis - Henrik is innovation on bass... :-)
Lol Henrik be like : cover this mfers 😅
It would take me a month xD
Exactly what I thought... 😂😂😂 🤦🏻♂️
Haha 🤣
man i don't even know what the hell we just watched. my brain isn't processing it! this reminds me of the first time I heard Steve Vai, I had no idea what the hell I just experienced.
This isn't music. This is parody by master musicians. I'm so fucking impressed. If any of you don't know Spinal Tap I invite you to check out the modern version here. This is genius level Big Bottoms.
Bro, your reaction when the bass started shredding was hilarious! 🤣
😁
Good reaction! I like how Dirty Loops manage to change, and surprise us. I also think this song is totally awesome, but I was all confused after the first time hearing it!
He breaks the boundarys of bass with eas. He make it an orchestral instrument like Hendrix did with guitar and many fingerstyle guitar artists.
Its a whammy pedal ( well its a a expression pedal into a multi modulation/synth pedal of some sort doing the whammy pedal pitch thing most likely since the pedal itself does not look like the big wide digitech whammy one).
Peace
I believe that it is an expression pedal controlling his Fractal Audio FM9. He used the same setup for the effects on the Follow the Light track.
My friend...you are one Hell of a Bass player yourself!🤘
2:31-2:33 " ?? I don't know what that was ?? " might just be my new ringtone for messages from my wife.
Great stuff man!
I just saw Dirty Loops in LA last weekend and was FLOORED! This song in particular was just amazing. I'll be interviewing the band for my podcast in about 6 weeks and released some time after that.
I got this 80s rock music vibe when I listen the intro, kinda reminds me of Rocky 4 music, when he was training hard on a cold winter day before his match against Ivan Drago 😄😄
Hearing this reminds me of the 1st time I heard Van Halen's - Jump. High energy stadium rock...
It's both a parody of themselves and an homage to anthemic Stadium Rock. The visual presentations are superb.
Henrik's extra alien hands look like a cheap, hinky prop from 1960s UK BBC TV SciFi series "Dr Who".
This is Totally Joyous.
Best Wishes. ☮
Ok, not my cup of tea but bass is like wooow. Good to see new things! 👀🎸❤️
I'm a big DL fan, but I appreciate your take. This song is sort of a parody of "pop." These guys are always hilarious & usually put funny things in their credits.
If you're willing to try other songs, I'll suggest "Work Shit Out, Next To You, Breakdown, Hit Me, or Follow The Light." Their musicianship is always top notch, even if they turn out to be not your thing.
I love them, but my husband always says, "There's too many sounds!" 😂
Very skilled and insightful comment.
GREAT analysis!!! thank you ✨🙏🏼
Thanks for watching!
Im sitting here wondering if this Mattisson bass guitarrs come from one Anders Mattison who used to play bass in a town called Örebro in Sweden for many years ago.
I sang in some different choirs back then and this guy sometimes played bass in the band.
As I remembering he was a really good bassist and he played a six stringed Yamaha bass. (Maybe my memory is letting me down..)
Maybe its the same guy. Would be great if someone knew if its the same guy who are behind these Mattison guitarrs ?
Same lastName and now doing exceptional basses.
More than a coincidence ?
Yes, the bass maker’s name is Anders Mattisson ☺️👍
He also left a comment on one of the other reactor’s comments stream, to explain the setup of the bass which Henrik is using here.
Super interesting.
Check him out at @andersmattisson.
Yes, it’s Anders Mattisson! ☺️👍
Check out his YT channel ‘at mattissonbass’.
He also listed an interesting comment on some other reactor’s comment stream, explaining the setup of Henrik’s bass he’s using in this video.
Super interesting.
Henrik is great at doing the splits.
Might be a bit long for a song, but Russian Circles has some pretty wild bass. You could also check out any of the bands Brian Cook is also in, which ranges from Botch to Sumac and These Arms are Snakes. "309" by Russian Circles has some of my favorite Brian Cook bass. It's crunchier than driving a dump truck full of gravel down a road paved in cornflakes.
Another band that I think would be cool to see your take on is "El Ten Eleven". Their bassist plays a double neck bass/guitar too.
6:41 Your remarks are dead accurate on Dirty Loops. I'm a more fusion-rooted fan so their Loopified album still brings me the best excitement and joy, but watching them evolve both in technique and in audience reaching efforts is something enjoyable as well. They have a better balance in their works in terms of where to insert those crazy harmonization and solos - previously in Loopified they clearly took a maximalistic approach, but in Phoenix they are much much more careful - and that's the major reason why it sounds so much more pop-ified.
Great points! I agree, they’ve really sharpened that element of their sound in terms of being efficient with how it’s used. Still waiting to hear if there is a full album announcement soon around this track.
The drummer caught my attention before the bass....but holy shit.
Thanks for your analysis, which I always look forward to. You give great commentary and information but never too much or not enough; it’s JUST right in terms of musicianship, theory, and musicality.
Thanks so much Jennifer! Truly means a lot to hear! 🙏🏼
Bass Monday!!!! Love your channel and reviews
Glad to hear it!! 🙏🏼
that thumb is a dream my dude
Saw them in Hollywood last week. There’s tight, and then there’s Dirty Loops. Absolutely unreal.
Dirty Loops isn't my bag, but Henrik is a complete monster!
When i first saw this video, i didnt noticed i was stuck already for an hour. ❤❤❤❤
As I understood, this is a sort of teaser song for their upcoming U.S. tour. I really loved the "Phoenix" stuff to bits and the "turbo" album too but... I hope that they don´t go in this direction further ;-)
For me, from the incredible looks -> PINK and the glamour style of the 80s, this looks ike a very humorous assault on Barbie´s World + this song is about a relationship coming to an end and one of them REALLY wanting to escape which is the total opposite to the epic bliss that this song is. It´s like a nuclear bomb... let´s see how this develops ;-)
I would have loved to be able to whistle this 🤘😜
Finally an authentic reaction! Other channels are so exaggerated
Not only is Henrik a great bassist, he's also an elite gymnast as shown in his splits position in a few close ups
Very van damme-esque! 😂
Hahahahaha!!!!
Love it. As an old fart myself how they use that massive 80' Power Ballad standing chords to build tension until you can barely take it anymore. And then they come with THAT part. Pure genius.
Funny that the boss s200 pedal was never mentioned. When he says I don't know what that was it is the s200
This was actually amazing! Hindrik isn’t really my style bass player but there’s no doubt he’s a killer player but the song was great kinda reminds me of Bilmuri’s latest couple albums with the synth sounds and lyrics
Has anyone brought up Jean Baudin on this channel? I was casually listening to Nuclear Rabbit, as one does, and just thought about how that was one of the first bass players that actually blew my mind out live.
I think he is playing with the boss pedal SY200 or similar, the sound IS amazing!!
Think his pedal set is customiced for his use. Seen a few intrewievs with him and he dont even know him self else that how to use it 😅
He ACTUALLY moves the capo MID-SOLO. Went to their concert in Philly last week, caught it on video, it’s unreal 7:36
ayyeee I made it in the intro!!! That was quick.
😉
Great walk-through! The synthy part sounds a lot like the techniques and textures used by Matthias IA Ecklund and Charles Caswell on guitar. Check them out!
any thoughts on the gating? haven't seen anyone mention that yet
DL are touring the US
I love that Henrik can now basically be an equally insane guitarist using those distortions and then just shift back to insane bass player in a second!
Wasn't that a whammy pedal rather than wah?
man, you gotta check out Tom Jenkinson, hes been taking this style to the future for 30yrs. check out his project Shobaleader One. the Boiler Room video is the one to see. the band of the future! then check out his work as Squarepusher
@2:13 Hey Mark! I think your connection just dropped on our video call, you froze! 😂
now I wanna know what octave pedals he use, because it tracks so damn well. Or is it midi pickups?
Think his pedal set is customiced
Maybe I missed it but have you not listened to Rock you or Work Shit Out??! If you haven’t, they definitely deserve a “react” video!
I have!! They’re fantastic!
Genre busting spectacularness. Jonah- 70's Elton/ Stevie, Aron- 80's Let's get physical, Henrick- 90's y2K/ scene = EPIC and! Rock Capybara
Saw them in 2022, the same year I saw Jacob Collier, Corey Wong, Fearless Flyers and Scary Pockets. That was a good orgasmic year💯
How to be everything. Do not categorize what cannot be categorized and enjoy it in its own right
REQUEST - PLEASE!!!!!!! Do a small Taiwan band called Elephant Gym song - Finger from AudioTree Live or Underwater. The bass player is K.T Chang, and this bassist is the reason why I started playing bass.
If you like Henrik please check out John Fererra of consider the source. Consider the source does a cover of “death whispered a lullaby” by Opeth. John plays the guitar and vocal harmonies on 5 string bass tuned E-C via tapping. Extremely underrated band and player. Would love to see you react to their music.
It’s Swedish Mattisson basses.
How does you bass light up?
LED lights inside the fretboard!
I searched for a bass cover of this song… none found.
To me it was a clear call out to Van Hagar. The tapping was a nod to Eddie and the drums def have that vibe.
I love you and I love that you love them as much as I do!
I love you too!!!
Was super late to the stream, but hope it went well.
This is mostly a request for you to check out for yourself - and not necessarily for a reaction. "Look Your Back" by Himiko Kikuchi. Has some solid bass.
Looks like a 3 octave whammy to me
Reminds me of a Jem Godfrey keyboard solo in Frost*
They actually do reharmonize their own songs, in a way. They said this in an interview. They started out with the reharmonized covers and when they decided to write their own songs they first wanted to write them in the crazy jazz fusion style directly but they couldn't do it. So instead they wrote very simple songs first and then loopified them. Which is probably a good idea anyway because a crazy complicated song works best if it still works when you strip it back down to basics.
VERY interesting if that’s the case. Thanks for sharing! Such a cool, authentic approach to use.
DOD Whammy Pedal ....for the octive and sweeping
I would love to see this bassist play with either EL Estepario Siberiano or Aric Improta. IMAGINE THE TECHY BRAIN MELTING THING THEY COULD DO.
Interesting piece. It has a chorus but no verses. Love the creative and innovative spirit of their music.
Tocas chido Gignac!
8:20 that’s when he knew …. Henrik had transcended
Has some Tim Henson stuff going on
I'm just wondering which movie from 1985 this was featured in.
Totally channeling (in some great ways) the prog band Frost*.
How did you not comment on Henrik's fake legs doing the splits?! 😂 8:40
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hear a lot of Tom Morello in those bass solos
Most definitely!!
Amazing!
bass to the face!
Yeah dude, welcome to the EPIC(myxo)lydian PROG scale! - teach your students THAT ;-) key cbanges! - kinda where their roots are ?? They ARE Fusion !
