Egyptian Lover (born Greg Broussard) is a legend in the U.S. electro and hip hop scenes. Needless to say, we were excited when he spent a day at Sound Factory LA, bringing with him two hardware 808 units and a vocoder to lay down some samples and vocals. Egyptian Lover started out making mixtapes as a teenager, rhyming over tracks he recorded off the radio, before taking his mix of rhymes and electro beats to the LA streets as a member of Uncle Jamm's Army. Synonymous with the Roland TR-808, Broussard made history with his singles Egypt Egypt (1984) and Freak-A-Holic (1986). His signature pioneering move at one of his first DJ gigs was rewinding one of the records while another was still playing-history was made at that party. Now you can use his bumping 808s, distinctive vocals, and a variety of loops in your next project.

This is a proper artist for the 808 day

[@notsogood9449]

"EGYPT!... EGYPT!... EGYPTIAN LOVER!... EGYPTIAN LOVER BABY!"

[@churricardo1457]

Love how electro is more alive than ever in hiphop, with detroit trap and pop artists jumping on electro type rhythms

[@Mr.Marbles]

yes exactly. often with dark experimental synth stuff and samples going on. without a rapper it is literally modern electro.

[@pkliskiki1800]

omg can you guys recommend me these songs ??? I'm desperate to find more music like this !!!!

[@pkliskiki1800]

​@@Mr.Marblesdude can you share with me some of these songs ?? 😊 love this sound would love to find more stuff !!!

[@pkliskiki1800]

one that I love that I can give to you guys: BOYS NOIZE AFFECTION!!!

[@Mr.Marbles]

@@pkliskiki1800 Jensen interceptor x DeFeKt have some insane eps for example the „free your mind“ and „free your body“ EP Dopplereffekt still make some stuff with an early detroit sci-fi vibe, similar to the exaltics There is also UMWELT who makes more distorted and dark stuff and labels such as „lunar orbiter program“ come to mind (all of those are on bandcamp) Oh also drexciya is a must listen if you dont already know them. Some of the best electro stuff out there, period. Its not new tho

[@mackwatlington3014]

I still jam to Egyptian Lover’s music to this day.

[@Windhorse11]

This guy exudes sensational joy in his music. He's like in love with it for the first time.

[@katmai90210]

"just become the master of that one instrument or two instruments and then you can create anything" - that was really cool

[@benji.B-side]

As an old school UK B-Boy, this man made me dance so much. He's an Hip Hop legend!

[@super8nacho]

A Living LEGEND!!!

[@woodshed_moments]

"...have two beats, I compute.... Egyptian Lover" This is one of the few guys out of any of the rap set pre-hip hop set, that you just got to respect because he just came up organically.

[@anthonygrady3733]

Grand Master Egyptian Lover 👑 The main ingredient you put into your machines is love … Trust me after you’re done cooking it will taste good to your ears 👨🏽‍🚀 bless

[@JRosevelt]

Thanks for sharing this, because so many legendary artists and contributers to music aren't recognized as much as they should be and Mr. Egyptian Lover is one who needs to be celebrated even more! What a great contribution to music!

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

EL is about as OG as it gets.

[@sol3cito33]

Why every mainstream artist has the All Seeing Eye displayed somewhere? 2:53 Or one eye covered, if nothing else.

[@artcs]

Eye of Ra/ Egyptian Lover....at least in this instance it fits.

[@sol3cito33]

Well, yes, you are right.@@artcs

[@ChristopherTrevino-vt4gq]

Sorry Greg, your NOT The king of the 808. Afriikka Bambatta & MAGGOTRON are The kings of the 808, & Miami Artists are too. & you Did Not invent the Vocoder Vocal & Breathing sound. KRAFTWERK invented it & many others did as well. Sorry Greg brousard but your still ok. ..
