The Egyptian Lover - 808 Beats Volume 1
Review by Sharla Banzer
The album 808 Beats by Egyptian Lover is a must-have for any fan of old school hip-hop or electro. The album is a showcase of the iconic producer's signature sound, featuring classic drum machine beats and funky basslines that will keep listeners grooving from start to finish.
From the opening track, "808 Beats," to the final track, "Egypt, Egypt," the album is a non-stop party that showcases Egyptian Lover's talents as a producer and DJ. The album features a mix of instrumental tracks and vocal tracks, with guest appearances from MCs like MC Chill and Uncle Jamm's Army.
The standout tracks on the album include "Freak-A-Holic," "I Need a Freak," and "Girls," which all feature Egyptian Lover's trademark sound and catchy hooks. The album also features a few slower, more atmospheric tracks like "My House on the Nile," which provide a nice change of pace and showcase Egyptian Lover's versatility as a producer.

About The Egyptian Lover
Los Angeles-based producer Greg Broussard is the man behind pioneering hip-hop/electro fusion artist the Egyptian Lover.
Egyptian Lover records didn't start appearing until several years after the New York and Miami electro scenes were already in full swing, by the mid-'80s Egyptian Lover cuts like "Egypt, Egypt" were standards among club DJs, particularly in the breakdance scene. Early cuts such as "Computer Love" and "Dance" were among Egyptian Lover's most experimental, with the material appearing through the latter half of the '80s increasingly flirting with full-blown rap by adding more vocals and melodic hooks. While more of his material dates from the latter phase, it's his earlier releases that remain his most accomplished, and they're routinely namechecked by a new generation of producers such as Autechre and I-F inspired by electro's first wave. Also a member of Uncle Jamm's Army and the force behind a half dozen labels including Freak Beat and Egyptian Empire. After nearly a decade, Egyptian Lover released the digitally edited compilation "Pyramix

Went to a skate rink, the DJ didnt know who Egyptian lover was even on a retro funk night. Shame I said, now I am bringing him the music... Your not a retro DJ, you just act like one until you play some Egypt lover.
