EGYPTIAN LOVER (Egyptian Empire Records | LA)
The Egyptian Lover has been bringing you that sound you have enjoyed for over 30 years. Some call it Electro, some call it Hip Hop, some call it Old School, some call it Rap, but he calls it “Dance Music”. Egyptian Lover makes music to make you dance.
He started out as a DJ in 1978 and became the headlining DJ for Uncle Jam’s Army in 1982. His first time in the studio he recorded the “Breakin’ & Entering” soundtrack. A true “Electro” recording and the first of its kind. Getting his inspiration from artists like Kraftwerk and enjoying the Roland TR-808 drum machine, he began programming beats and rapping over them like a madman.
When asked about his experiences he stated, “I had so much fun in the studio I had to go back and record some more. I booked the studio time and grabbed my notebook of raps and went to the studio to record my solo project “Beast Beats”. My mother and sister read the title of my song and said, “You better not make that song, Don’t play with the Devil”. So I went back to the studio and the song became “Egypt Egypt”—and quickly became an LA dance anthem!Twitter | Facebook | Red Bull Music Academy Interview | Boiler Room

In recent times Minieri has also been producing original music, combining his love for sound design, sampling and synthesis under one umbrella.
