Cantaloop's mission is to provide "iFunk" to the masses and is fronted by the hip-hop/funk attack of Dannie Dee with the pioneers of "iFunk" 100c on guitar, Paulo De' Wooton on bass, and Beef on drums, fleshed out with additional players either (sax or trumpet) and special guests.

In 2005, the band completed a tour of 25 dates in Switzerland and Europe. The band also performed an unstoppable amount of shows in the UK (their home territory). Cantaloop have supported several reputable, established acts.

"Thats a great sound for a British band to be making !" - Tom Robinson, BBC6 Music

"Blending funk with hip-hop they create a real party album in the great tradition of artists like Sly And The Family Stone and De La Soul." - The Beats Surrender

"If you're after a Hip Hop album with out all the bullshit that comes with that scene then maybe you ought to check these guys out. - Street Voice

"I.C.H.I.L.E. is a breathtaking album of mature, modern music that's hard to pigeonhole but easy to absorb - loads to admire and nothing to fault. Distinctly hip-hop/rap oriented but with massive jazzy undercurrents, blissfully soulful vocalisation and a bucket-full of pop sensibility, Cantaloop have contrived to come up with a style that's fresh, bright and easy on the ear." - Toxic Pete

"In The Frame is a head nodding, foot tapping soulful hip-hop track that shows you don't have to stick to a guns, girls and diamonds lyric to make a quality track." - thebeatsurrender.co.uk

"If this were summer I would have this blasting out of my speakers as I crash out in a field of green." - the-rocker.co.uk

"In The Frame, showcases Cantaloop's vibrant mix of pop, soul, funk and hip-hop, the track features a wonderfully soulful and smooth deliver by frontman Dannie Dee, whilst the rest of the band create a funky backing track complete with bouncy elastic basslines and obligatory record deck abuse." - Rhythm & Booze

"Funk n Hip Hop at it's best. 8.5/10" - myspace.com/streetvoice

"In The Frame is a crackin' piece of 'pop' music just for pop's sake!" - toxicpete.co.uk

"Bounce, bounce, bounce - a tune destined for greater things, like a playful Lemar rocking out with RHCP, a summer anthem of christ-like proportions" - subba-cultcha.co.uk
