Title: Accompanying yourself with live dance beats

Hi,
I'm really new to looping and related technology. I'd appreciate ideas, feedback on this concept for a live performance.

In a live performance, I'd like to create a groove like you'd hear in electronica/dance DJ music.  Perhaps ~4 loop layers , and then let it continue to loop/play as a background for live Stick playing.   I've heard dance grooves that use all kinds of interesting 'found sounds' , voice clips, beats etc , that end up creating a kind of drone that could serve as background to play over.

What do you think?   How would you go about creating the groove layers I've described?
