Numusic presents in collaboration with Roland, 4Sound and Metropolis
Egyptian Lover Roland Tr-808 & Tr-8 Workshop
Greg Broussard, better known as Egyptian Lover, helped pioneer a whole new style of hip-hop when he emerged in the early '80s. Fusing electro with hard-hitting beats and peppering it with his unique sense of humor, Egyptian Lover ignited breaking all over the dance floor. A favorite of B-Boys and B-Girls alike, Egyptian Lover's music was often the soundtrack at break dancing battles.
A true originator, he started when hearing Kraftwerk's song Numbers and Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa. He then bought a Roland TR 808 Drum Machine and started programming it like a mad man. He was compiling electro mixes - Kraftwerk, Prince, Rick James, Zapp – including his own instrumental beats created on the Roland 808 drum machine. The club-ready cassette tape mixes were selling in the thousands.
Get a proper introduction on how to use one of electronic music's most powerful weapons.
