Gloorp Life

Gloorp is the experimental electronic project of Philadelphia percussionist and producer Garrett Burke. Burke previously played drums with art-rock groups Of Montreal and Mothers, before releasing his self-titled debut as Gloorp in 2023.

It was his second album, Gloorp 'Em Up, that really broke through. Nina Protocol called it a "Polyrhythmic electronic frenzy," while Pitchfork followed with a glowing review. Sessions on NTS Radio and dublab, plus shows with Ulrika Spacek, Photay, and Xen Model, kept the momentum building.

That run of live dates helped shape Gloorp Life. Blending footwork, bass, and club with Burke's standout drumming, it is forward-thinking, textural electronic music with a playful rhythmic edge. The album follows the acclaimed 2025 dance tape Gloorp 'Em Up, which Pitchfork called "a daisy-chained string of mulching beats that's casual, light, and fun as hell."
