Godfather of the 808, Egyptian Lover, turns the Hoofy Pool into the Nile. Be ready to make some waves and shake some thangs Sun. August 29.
Beginning his career the late '70s as a DJ and turntablist on the Los Angeles party scene, The Egyptian Lover became a formidable presence at the dawn of hip hop and techno. His music merged the sensual mystique of Prince with the pioneering synthesizer dynamics of Kraftwerk, galvanizing a new kind of electronic funk for the post-disco era. His name is synonymous with the classic Roland TR-808 drum machine, known for its booty shaking bass, crisp high hats and snare snap. It's no exaggeration to say his fingerprints are all over virtually any modern electronic music you can name.
