There has never been a thread about Egyptian Lover

my older bro used to go to the parties these guys used to rock

do you guys remember "what's happening now?" it was this 80s spinoff of "what's happening" with some of the same characters but all grown up...anyway one time LA Dream Team guested on the show and performed a song...it went "Yesssss....they're here....Dream Team is here!" me and my friend saw it once on reruns and that was our catchphrase in high school for awhile.

we were dorx ;_;

that's a good record there

Let's jam, let's jam radioactive!!

i saw him a few weeks back. prolly wouldn't have gone if i hadn't gotten free tickets (not into seeing older bands redo their thing). he actually put on a really good show though. great dj set where his hypeman handed him the records in order. all the hits.

the crowd at my show was the complete opposite though. dorky b&t crowd and everyone was dancing. except me. i couldnt' distance myself from the crowd and even though i was really enjoying the music and the show, i wasn't exactly "having fun". oh well, i'm the chin scratching hipster deej wished wouldn't come to the show.

i love the On the Nile album. there's way more guitar on it than i would expect from an electro album.

Most of your songs are very uptempo. What´s the reason for this?
Back in the days we have this famous dance called "The Freak". People dancing close to close very sexy. So as faster the beats the more freaky the dance became. And also I do not like to fuck slow, do you?

jaxon its one thing if there's a room full of dancing ppl and yr not in the mood, its another thing entirely if the whole crowd shows up, he plays shit aimed directly at the dancefloor, and every just sort of stands around like their studying a painting on the wall. its not a museum!

oh man i had that hit hip hop on cassette, they used have this bonkers cutout bin at my wal-mart in HS...i also bought this weird wire thing that was sort of a semi-comp of the first two records mashed together in different order w/some songs missing.

i would do "The Freak" to all of this songs

why because it look interesting

matt, you mean On Returning, which is a comp of the first 3 albums "greatest hits" or sorts.

yep that's what it was...i didn't know shit about wire when i bought it, i only knew them from "eardrum buzz" video on 120 minutes

that comp has Dot Dash which isn't on the first 3 records OR their CD reissues if I remember correctly. Nothing to do with LA Electro though.

Whenever i see a pic of EL i'm treated to spontaneously imagined whiff of activator and spermicide.

oh man Big Butt Ugly Girls

Women rather

did we already decide if he was really Egyptian?

and was the Arabian Prince his protoge?

i also bought this weird wire thing that was sort of a semi-comp of the first two records mashed together in different order w/some songs missing.

Should've been titled Songs Missing.

*boom boom*

Egptians are Coptic in ethnicity, not Arab, so probably no relation. AP was in NWA though.

i dont think they worked together in the late 80s but i think theyve done at least one show together here in LA recently

world seems to go him-shaped when tompkins takes up pen so i dunno if this any of this interview was even 4real or not but still eh?

the first wire album i owned was called *In The Pink*. i bought it in the mid 80's. it was kind of a perfect album really. when i first bought the actual albums all i wanted to hear were the songs on that comp.

what

i said the first wire album i owned was called *In The Pink*. i bought it in the mid 80's. it was kind of a perfect album really. when i first bought the actual albums all i wanted to hear were the songs on that comp.

haha

what

I sort of like his narcissism actually. Is there an Egyptian Lover track where he doesn't namecheck himself in the vocals? Or where his record sleeves don't say "Everything was written, produced, performed, mixed, engineered, and mastered by Egyptian Lover"?

SS: Then the guy from Cybotron, Rick Davis, thought you were dead?

EL: He saw the headline: “Lady Diana Dies With Egyptian Lover.”

EL: One time this girl from the LA Times came up and said, “Wow, you’re better than the Egyptian Lover. What’s your name?” And I said, “DJ Sperm Cell.” LA Times the following Sunday: “DJ Sperm Cell Better Than Egyptian Lover.” With pictures of me in the paper. Some damn fools!

ahahah

Dj Sixth Sense was playing "Egyptian Lover" today on the Friday morning 8 am US eastern time Wrong Song segment of the syndicated Russ Parr morning show (heard on American R'n'b/rap radio stations)

omg driving back from the studio last night my bass player was playing some Macola Records comp tape that had Egypt Egypt and a bunch of other early LA electro stuff - Bobby Jimmy & The Critters' "Big Butt" was just cracking my ass up, never heard that one before.

I'm The Egyptian Lover
Sexy Senior
It's not just a name
but an adventure
I mix so fast
I scratch so sweet
there's not another D.J.
on earth who can compete

U know it
Egyptian Lover

Pyramids are Oh so shiny
The women here are Oh so cute
The freaks are on the floor now
Dancing to beats that I compute

I was going to the game to see the L.A. Raiders
Couldn't get out of those little elevators.
I was trying to get out, I was doing my part...
All of a sudden I think I had to... go eat a hot dog!
Huh-huh, heh heh-heh.

I got the real big bootie in my neighborhood,
All the girls like to slap me cause it feels real good.
I like my big butt because it's so unique,
Not everyone has a custom-made toilet seat.
Huh. huh-huh, huh, huh, huh-huh

I got a Big Butt, a Big Butt
Big Butt, a Big Butt
(Bobby Jimmy)
Big Butt, a Big Butt
Big Butt, a Big Butt

Saw him open for M.I.A. a couple months ago. Crowd seemed to enjoy him, i guess but he kept going on and on about "The way we did it... BACK IN THE DAAAAAAY" and it got pretty, erm, old.
