Biography

Egypt was the cradle of civilization. And Egyptian Lover? Well, this DJ/producer was at the cradle of electro music. In the early eighties, he was far ahead of the hip-hop times by combining synth funk with minimal beats. Today, he still uses his Roland TR-808 drum computer to whip up dance temples and party oases.
