[1] They first met around 1980 and initially played together in The Transmitters and released their debut single as Loop Guru, "Shrine", in 1992.
Heavy emphasis is placed on electronic samples of traditional instruments, voices, and miscellaneous sounds.
Loop Guru's main exuberant oeuvre of lively rhythms and effusive sounds is occasionally punctuated by more contemplative albums (e.g., The Third Chamber) that are reminiscent and influenced by ambient music and similar to musical artists such as Brian Eno and Jon Hassell.
Past and present guest musicians and collaborators include Natacha Atlas, Sussan Deyhim, Mad Jym, Count Dubulah (also known as Nick Page, Psycho Karaoke and Dub Colossus) and Cat von Trapp.
[2] Their single "Paradigm Shuffle", one of their more popular releases, was built around "I Have a Dream", Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 speech.
