I'd love to hear about the cutting edge looping being done in the dance 
world, but all I've heard about is synchronized sampling and using a lot 
of effects.  I don't see the dance world as having made much more forward 
progress than the guitar/ambient camp, which is just fine by me, as long 
as the outcome is interesting.  The ability to trigger recorded and 
treated pieces of audio has been in place for over a decade, it's just 
cheaper and easier now, but the basic process seems the same.  
Dance wizards, please enlighten me.

And as far as the "forefront of looping", I have to take my hat off to 
the Arkane Device guy.  The description of the setup is some severely 
tripped-out damage.  I MUST find some of that to listen to.
