Gloorp is the experimental electronic project of Philadelphia percussionist and producer Garrett Burke. Burke spent time on the kit in art-rock ensembles Of Montreal and Mothers, before releasing his self titled debut as Gloorp in 2023. It was his second album, Gloorp ‘Em Up, that turned heads: Nina Protocol dubbed it a “Polyrhythmic electronic frenzy.” A glowing review in Pitchfork followed, along with sessions on NTS Radio and dublab, and shows with a slew of sonically adventurous underground acts, including Ulrika Spacek, Photay, and Xen Model.

These performances, among many others, provided the perfect testing ground for Burke to begin shaping material for Gloorp Life. Blending styles like footwork, bass, and club with impressive drumming chops, Gloorp Life is one of a kind; forward-thinking, textural electronic music with an inimitable edge that comes from Burke’s sharp knack for syncopation and his playful hand. The album is the follow-up to 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.”
