My first time seeing "Follow The Light" and I will never forget it! This has now become my favorite Dirty Loops track (...ya I know...until the next new one comes along...hahaha).

4:28 When the horn players are makin' the "stank face" you *KNOW* it's *_funky!_* .
Grace Kelly - She is a jazz sax legend. Her stank face is not something anyone can get.
My side hobby is watching reaction videos to this track LOL. 1. I'd pay $$$ to just stand on the same stage as they. 2. Yours is the best reaction video in my opinion. 3) It's so fun to wait for those moments in this chart that you know the reactor is going to react, like the intro, the bass solo, and the key change. Well, and everything in between :)
Hahaha, that sounds like a blast! You picked the right band to do that with. I’ve got VIP tix for the Los Angeles show. I finally get to meet the guys. If you haven’t seen it check out my interview with Jonah Nilsson, it’s a lot of fun!
This is the best reaction to this song. It's spot on. "If this song doesn't make you happy I don't know what does" is exactly how I felt the first time. It just filled me with joy, and I'm a metalhead 😂
Thanks David!
Seriously man, this is what an authentic reaction to such an incredible experience of music. Every song, I feel out of breath like getting off the fastest rollercoaster! So much is happening, all just so freakin great!
Oh good I have company! Hahaha. Ya man this stuff just blows my mind! 🤯
Best reaction from musician... you need to have touched an instrument in your life to deep understand how complex is this stuff.
Could not have said it better 👏👏👏
Well said.
Fantastic reaction my friend! I felt the same exact thing when I heard this song the other day. They took my breath away! Lot's of "oh my god's" and "what?!?!" haha. This is one of my new favorite songs, ever. Amazing, amazing band.
Hahaha right?! You can’t help but response that way. Thanks for watching my friend!
the first time I heard this song, I literally and I mean literally got up from my chain and ran around in my apartment with both hands in the air, just screaming "yes yes yes " to myself. This is such a freaking amazing song. The musicianship is immaculate and I can't believe that these guys "just" keeps on making fantastic and interesting art again and again.
this is one of the best music reactions that I've ever seen, fr
Thank you so much! 😊🫶
The last time I was so excited about a band was over 30 years ago when my cousin introduced me to the music of Genesis and Yes.
And those bands you'd have every reason to get excited about! I'm with you, that's why DL mean so much to me!
If you haven't heard them, the two songs Cory Wong did with Cody Fry called "Better" and "Want Me Back" are the Genesis revival you didn't know you needed.
@@AquaShibby3000 Thanks for the tip, the music is great. It´s more like Phil Collins solo than Genesis, but I love that.
@@BackLooking Yeah, that's fair about Phil Collins
You want to hear something CRAZY? Apparently Cory has a podcast, and the most recent one he had Henrik on. In the beginning they talked about the fact that this, and the others featuring Cory, were filmed as 2 separate videos, on different continents, and then seamlessly edited as 1!!!!! Whoa! I haven't been this moved by music since Simply Red.
You have just blown my mind! 🤯
@@StrateleStudios, I bet I know what you're doing... watching the vid again to see if you can spot the edit line. I did... 3 dozen times!
@@garygraham2513 I did right after reading your comment 😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@StrateleStudios, didn't find it, did ya! I thought it was the separation between the rugs they are standing on, but Cory crosses over that several times. And they have to be watching the other side via a big screen/jumbotron. I particularly enjoyed Grace Kelly's stank face in the upper left corner during the Bass solo.
@@garygraham2513 No! 😂 I would have never known they weren’t in the same room. Oh ya love that stank face!!! 😆
That bass solo gave me chills all the way up to the back of my head
Totally!!! As you can see My mind went 🤯
Discovering that this was filmed in two different places and stiched together elevated the awesomeness of this tune.
You are the best reactor in the multiverse!
Hahaha man, you made my week with this comment! 😃
Oh, this was such a joy to watch 😁👏👏👏. Thank you!
Cheers!
Thank YOU!
Loved the reaction haha. Speechless. And then even more speechless and then even more hehe
Man I’m holding back tears in some of these videos lol
I always get goosebumps with the final key change. ^^
oh man yes!!!!!!
Now, thats a reaction👏👏👏Awesome job💯
Aw, thanks Christoffer!
Now THAT'S how to react to this song!
Hahaha thanks man! 😄
You’re like a kid in a candy store whenever you’re watching Dirty Loops! I love it ❤️🙏🔥
I am, I am! 😂
Man! This is like heaven to a Dirty Loops reaction videos junkie like myself. I hope the rest of ”the gang” finds this. Smiling and sweating together, watching Dirty Loops. 😂😅 Thank you brother, keep em coming! 👍🏻
I’m telling you Linus, it’s pure elation and I’m so happy to know others feel the same! We are all connected by this. 💪
Saw them live here in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2014 right after they had released their debut album - so happy to see that people start know about them finally :D
Wow! How were they live?!!!
@@StrateleStudios amazing! :D they have a Jonah clone (keyboard/singer) to fill it all up live (he can't play it all alone), but they were just as good live for sure :P
;-)
The day "Thriller" by them came out was definetely a Dirty Loops Looping Day for me - they always manage to surprise us with just another level. OMG
I feel like there needs to be a reaction video to your reaction video..?! Made me so happy to watch your roller coaster emotions! Ps. Have you seen Aaron&Henrik in ”Bitten by the kitten”? A word of warning: you will most likely need a vet, or some kind of medical attention afterwards. That groove is infectious... 😉
HAHAHA, I love that idea! I have not experienced “Kitten” yet but you can be sure I will…and I will have my phone predailed to 911 ready to go 😂
Thanks for your genuinely enthusiastic reaction. It's a joy to watch someone so moved - I was expecting you to explode at any moment! You may have heard there were a few tracks produced by Dirty Loops in a side project called Songs For Lovers. Check out Pink Power and Bitten By The Kitten. :)
Lol, I almost DID explode when the bass solo hit 🤯. I will definitely check out those two tunes! Thank you!
You ENJOYED that, great reaction 👌
🤯🤯🤯
You have one of the best reactions to this song. Everyone else felt compelled to play their little electronic keyboard and tell me the key changes.
You actually felt the spirit of the song, and got most everything right. Kudos.
Thank you Dan!!!
"sounds like Rocco from Tower of Power." I love it!
Hahaha yes!!!
Thanks man for real reactions!
Thank you for watching me geek out hahaha! 😁
There are bands that are tight, and then there are ones that are crazy tight. These guys are Stupid Tight!!!!
Hahaha right?!!!
fantastic reaction! love the enthusiasm! i always find it fascinating to see actual musicians react to this stuff and see what gets them/you excited. subscribed!
Thank you so much Ryan! This stuff is absolutely mind blowing! 🤯
Jeff, this song brings such joy during every listening.
For me too man!
As you can see my friend, every single song from this band is a whole experience... Suggest *next to you* next
Man, this is my dream band!
They have done 3 or 4 videos with Cory and the horns you gotta check them all out!!
🤤🤤🤤 yes!!!
Love love love the genuine reaction.... Had me in my feelings 🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙏🏾
Thank you, my brotha!!!
Cool tune! Bass player and the singer/keyboardist are the highlights for me in this group.
They sizzle like no other Sizzlemann!!! 😃
Maan, you have one of the coolest backgrounds on the internet!
LOL! Thank you!!!!!
Great reaction! Keep em coming! "Hit me", "World on fire", "Rock you" :D
Thank you Rikard! I believe “Rock You” is coming very soon!!!!!
How come I’ve missed this reaction? It’s gold! Once again, Jeff, you lift this whole song up for me by another notch, just by the way you listen to it….thanks bro 🙏
This song is so exhilarating, and SUCH a great collab between those two bands/musicians. And every single musician in this clip is on fire! 🔥
And that last modulation? 💥 OMG
Thank you so much!!! 😃🤝👏
These videos are an absolute delight to watch! Your enthusiasm is definitely contagious on my end! Always excited to see your reactions! So genuine and spot on!! Keep ‘em coming!!!! More! More! More!
Thank you so much Kim you KNOW there will be much more to come!!!
LOVE that you've had the 100000000000% *PERFECT* reaction to this, which shows just how much you understand music, happiness, literally the purpose of life itself if I wanted to get ultra-syrupy about it ;p ....it's actually a *Federal* crime that you don't have a mill subs+, but anyway your success will come naturally simply because you're giving off your essence so freely to all of us who enjoy rocking out w/ someone online in this way. Have an excellent one!✨
Your comment blew me away completely. Without even knowing me you got all that from my video. That is 💯 percent what I’m about. Just reading this comment tells me you are an amazing person. I hope you stick around on my channel for a long time to come!!! 🤯
@@StrateleStudios ha! thanks so much! you ROCK frend0😁
Thank's for your reaction!!!
That is fenomenal music.
I feel the same.
Thank you! 😊
Dude, this makes my day EVERY TIME I watch it. Your joy is so infectious (I hope that's a positive term, hah) it's indescribable. First time I'm watching THIS reaction video, but you're so genuine and knowledgable, I love it! The song is simply CRAZY great in every single way imaginable. Hot damn. Way to kick off the weekend! Love from Sweden!
Awwww thank you so much my friend!!!! ☺️☺️☺️
Have seen them live tonight in Umeå, Sweden. Totally freaking blew my mind, also live! Extremely tight and in the pocket as always.. ;-) Thanks for your brilliant reactions they are a big part of how I've discovered this brilliant band.. :-)
Oh they’re back in Sweden now?
@@StrateleStudios yep! :-) They were a part of the Jazz festival in the town I live in. They were also doing a show a couple of months ago in my hometown, Skellefteå, so they seemed eager to play for me. :-D In Umeå the venue had a bit of an issue with the sound, but it was a brilliant experience, one of the best for me ever. Very cool to see Henrik do a bit of the talking between the songs, and I was able to talk to them in person afterwards. Amazing to be star struck the way I was as a 50-something.. :-)
Men I just l love your réactions thid is exactly how I react to this kinda stuff 💯💯💯💯😂😂😂men you don't hold your réaction and that's just Amazing
I could hold back if I tried hahahaha! Thank you for watching and commenting! More to come!
@@StrateleStudios 😂😂😂😂💯💯
What can you say? Genius comes to mind. How great is it, that Dirty loops and Cory Wong just happened to be born in the same era? These guys were meant to meet up and how lucky are we that they did.🤩
Yes!!!!
Amazing reaction! This song makes me cry tears of JOY!!
" absolute this is the best channel of reaction on TH-cam, amazing reaction, I'm smile toghter ,.kkk, this is nice because is nature ...congraculations...from Brazil.
You just made me very happy Ismael! Thank you so much!!!
Love the energy of your reactions (I was a little afraid you might have a heart attack) but you hung in there and made. This is one collaboration for the ages. The new album "Turbo" is just sick it's so good. Keep it up we are with you.
😂🤣😂 I’m ready for more!
Like honestly DL might be the tightest band around and even live, SO NUTS!!! Gosh these dude bring sincere joy
Say what you will, this is PERFECT.
Also check out their Songs for lovers - coffee break is over and SONGS FOR LOVERS - BITTEN BY THE KITTEN for some great bass action.
I’ll definitely check that out! Thank you!
fantastic reaction man, i felt the same when i heard then, this guys is a master piece. and you you got a new subscribe o/
Hey Manoel! Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the channel! These guys constantly blow my mind as you can tell. Glad you’re here, my friend!
Your reaction is the same as mine when i heared dirty loops first time. Awesome video!
What a song! Epic
Amazing!!! the reaction on the sax girl is the best on earth xD that is what a musician can do whit our felling well brass generally enjoyed it to the end
Fun part is that (if you not note it) the MJ "he he" was from the tenor sax player
It was the tenor sax player?!! Omg lol that’s awesome! Ya she’s was absolutely loving it too!
@@StrateleStudios when you hear the "he he" the tenor sax palyer put his mouth on the mouthpice right on the moment. But I am not 100% sure but if not is so cool too
the sax can reach those notes in any case so it is not so impossible that he did it
@@mauricionavarro8224 if it IS the sax player that is just so next level! 😄
@@StrateleStudios hell yeah!!
I just found this band yesterday...(shows how out of touch I am...LOL)....man this band is off the charts!!!!
Hahaha never too late right?! Very few bands can blow me away like this!
@@StrateleStudios Yes sirrrr...I've been telling all my musician friends...their stuff is amazing
I want more!!
YOU MADE MY DAY
Yay!!!!!!!
Can't wait to see your reaction to "Breakdown."
My goodness, I’m loving sharing these first experiences with you! Keep on with the Dirty Loopin’, Next to You is pretty darn epic. Oh yeah, Jonah has a song called Coffee Break which is also pretty sweet. He’s also done something with Steve Vai recently too!
I do wonder, however, what your views would be on Jacob Collier? If you’ve not followed up on this 27(?) year old 5x Grammy winner in recent times, one of his videos should possibly be worth a check out.. :)
Oh yea, Jacob is on another planet! I dove into negative harmony because of him. Brilliant guy!
Great reaction!😄
Cory Wong and Dirty Loops just released Turbo, go check and react to it :D
Joyous! Just infectious
Absoluta love your reaction, happines😀 next reaction jonahs new soloalbum produced by mr Q. Try Diamond ring (with Stevie val on guitar) magic✨✨👑
Oh man!!! I HAVE to see it!
I love and follow you discover my Swedish homies! But you never said what you felt about that Thriller cover. ;)
You know what, you’re right! Ok I’m going to do a quick mention about thriller in my next video. Thanks for the idea!
@@StrateleStudios excellent! And by the way - if you want to experience them running a ballad you should listen to Breakdown. Jonah kills it and I think i pick up his gospel background in this one. No MJ at all :)
(I predict at least two mouth coverings from you : )
Best reaction!!!
Thank you Matías! 😊
Fantastic ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Make reaction video for "ROCK YOU" by Dirty Loops pleaseeee
I think that’s next!
Might I suggest the Harvard opportunes Acapella cover of this song.... Omg it's amazing
I watched it with morning so goooood! Lots of singers!
Please do more reactions of DL. You have the best reaction 😉
Oh I have soooo many videos I still haven’t seen from DL! I hope to do reaction video for ALL of them!!!
Love your reaction!! 💯💯💯👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Please react to ”bitten by the kitten”…💣
I will most certainly put that in the queue!!!
Eu tenho o costume de ver vários reacts de uma música. Essa musica foi indicada pela minha filha e de todas as reações, a sua foi a que mais se aproximou da minha. Essa musica é simplesmente inacreditável.... E a sua reação daquelas.... A gente fica procurando palavras, mas é simplesmente indescritível! Pela reação valeu o like e a inscrição!
Muito obrigado José!!!
muito bom sua react
Thank you!!!
The phrase at the end of the bass solo is actually a typical Jazz phrase, but the way they put it in and the accuracy they perform it with - WOW!! Here it is written out for the drums: th-cam.com/video/DlpNvf8WrhM/w-d-xo.html
Cory wong, Dirty loops! The best of the best!
Grace Kelly on bari. If you like sax, check her out.
Oh cool thanks!
please listen to Rock You next!
Got that on my list! 😃😃😃
You really should check out Polyphia... such fresh guitar sounds from that band
Oh yes, I’ve been listening to them for the last few weeks on Spotify. Love them!!!
Hi Jeff! When you have the time check out "Playing for time" with Mezzoforte. It would be really nice to hear what you think of that one. And it is from 1989 and still very fresh according to me. Cheers from Puglia!
I’ll check them out! Thanks! 👏👏👏
@@StrateleStudios Thanks once again. Maybe it is only my personal preferences, but according to me, that composition is a masterpiece. They are usually in the smooth-jazz, elevator-music kind of whatever.
Also, Ricky Petterson’s interpretation of “What you won’t do”. Immortal.
@@StrateleStudios have you forgotten about this?
@@milesdust3465 from a year ago? Probably 😄
Very nice approach NOT pausing the vid every other second (for saying nothing relevant besides "wow" or "wowww") like so many others do.
Thank you! Ya, I can’t stand that myself! 😄
Pure ecstasy
Hey man new sub. I can just tell as a fellow musician and engineer/producer that we cut from the same cloth both the way you reacted to this song. Loved it. I’m always the friend people ask to show them good music when they want something new - and it feels like watching it with a friend loving it. And you seem like a great dude.
But I honestly didn’t like dirty loops the first time I watched one of their videos from this session of videos. Cause I thought it was just kinda a Michael Jackson rip off. Almost like Michael Jackson askin snarky puppy and Mike Mangini or something on drums lol and it just seemed like a gimmick
Then I kept listening and saw the thriller one and heard this one with the samples of MJ realizing that they know it’s more of an homage than ripping off. But also I started to just feel how fuckin much passion is in the music.
And that they aren’t just playing virtuosity pop to show off their talent. Each instrument has its own fuckin soul.
If I could change one thing. I wish they had an actual guitarist and not just a stand in guitarist.
Totally get your journey. If you saw my interview with Jonah I mention to him that I was a little out out because they didn’t have a resident guitar player hahaha. Then I offered my services hahaha
Also. I feel like the singer doesn’t get nearly enough love lol. His voice is like virtuoso level vocals just like the bassist is with his bass. His ability to do simply insane runs. And he starts and stops in the craziest notes sometime. He is fuckin an amazing singer. I
Would love to hear him sing with out the kinda MJ homage thing. And find his own tone. cause he’s unreal.
I would pay $$$$ to see and hear Tim Henson play with these guys. Him and Hendrik together OMG!!
Haha and here it is 🤘😊
😄
Turbo!

Just stumbled across your reactions and subscribed. Nicely done!
@@chrisnolte2277 thank you, Chris!!!!!
Quincy Jones paired a great team with Cory and Dirty Loops
Hello Jeff!
Check out: Karin Malm. A Swedish girl doing a cover of Dirty Loops "Hit me"
She did it with only her voice and Arons drums. Really cool cover of that song.
This is gonna sound a bit weird, but hear me out…
DL needs to do a treatment of “touch me when we’re dancing” by the Carpenters.
You laugh, but listen to the song one time, and appreciate the layering. It’s a natural.
Brilliant 👏
And now that I think about it, what could Jonah accomplish with Richard Carpenter, even now?
He’s possibly the most under-appreciated producer/arranger of all time.
ABBA, Roxette, Ace of Base, Avicii, Europe, Dirty Loops - You're welcome world! /Sweden
I’m comin’ to Sweden!!! 😃
Don’t forget Max Martin ;)
Listen on Hit Me dirtylooos
I'm sure if they practice more they will get better 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
React to thriller, their last release 🔥🔥
I blew it and already watched it last week without rolling video ahhhhhhhh 😩
@@StrateleStudios ooooh it's so pity I'd really liked to see your reaction on it
@@antoine__0504 I can do a SECOND Time Watching | Reaction video 🤣
@@StrateleStudios naaah that's ok 😂😂 but for exemple you can react to dirty loops baby cover or rock you if you never seen it, that's pretty good too
Stop listening to Dirty Loops. I am in my 30s but I have trouble handling the excitement and my heart would literally skip a beat. They are seriously bad for your health.
😂🤣😂
Stevie Wonder not MJ.. ;)
Nope, MJ 😊
I love Dirty Loops to death! The Corey thing? I don’t get it. It’s all hype and no delivery. Most mediocre players can do anything he does. He’s got great players around him but he’s not one of them
Check out my interview with Jonah, he talks about it.
I still want to marry you!!!!!!!
🤣😂🤣❤️
