Egyptian Lover: 808 Black Wav
JAN 2024 | 141 MB
Egyptian Lover is back and Splice’s Signal Path label is proud to present 808 Black. 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.
