Egyptian Empire US Vinilo y CD

Review: The Egyptian Lover's 2021 album 1986 was a widely-hailed blast of electro funk perfection from a true lifer - is there anyone other than Greg Broussard you would trust to bring the heat with an 808 and not much else? Now one of the album's standout cuts, 'Lose Control', is getting the single treatment with an extended mix which lets Jamie Jupiter and Brian Ellis' bonus musical contributions to the track take off in full flight. As a bonus treat on the flip, we get the sparkling new joint 'Vocoder Jam', ensuring you have two sides of raw electro heat from one of the sound's true originators.

Review: Egyptian Lover has been kicking out the jams now for a full four decades. His famously hardware-driven sound is pure bay-popping perfection and has seen him define and redefine electro many times over. Staying true to his signature 80s west-coast electro sound, his new album 1987 echos classics of his like 'Egypt, Egypt' and Thebes of them all, 'I Need a Freak', by blending signature Roland 808 beats with Kraftwerk and hip-hop influences. He's a veteran at this stage, but he still moves a floor like few others can.

Review: Egyptian Lover's Egypt Egypt: 40th Anniversary 1984-2024 celebrates a seminal track in the evolution of electro and techno. Originally released in 1984, 'Egypt Egypt' remains a cornerstone of West Coast electro, influencing both early techno and hip-hop. This anniversary reissue underscores the track's enduring impact, as its innovative rhythms and pioneering sound continue to resonate with new generations of listeners. The 40th Anniversary edition features a remastered version of 'Egypt Egypt' on Side-1, preserving its original energy and groundbreaking appeal. Side-2 offers the 'Girls' (40th Anniversary Mix), which breathes new life into the classic while retaining its iconic essence. This reissue not only honors the legacy of Egyptian Lover's influence but also introduces its revolutionary sound to contemporary fans, highlighting its crucial role in shaping electronic music and hip-hop culture.
