Egyptian Lover is one of the godfathers of the early West Coast sound known as "electro". Together with Afrika Bambaataa and other pioneers, he established himself as a true legend and a music innovator. He still tours the world banging his machines live... Watch below how 'Egypt, Egypt' was created...

"Key Tracks is a new series presented by Red Bull Music Academy in which musical pioneers, mavericks and legends walk us through the making of their signature tunes. For this debut edition, produced along with dublab, we speak to the king of the West Coast electro sound, Egyptian Lover, as he shows us the backstory – and the 808 beat – behind his 1984 classic “Egypt, Egypt”."
