Egyptian Lover Freaks The TR-808 & Spins Prince Gems Live On-Air w/ J Rocc On KPFK
The legendary Egyptian Lover, patriarch of machinedrum funk and all things 808, stopped by J Rocc's KPFK radio show last Friday to celebrate Prince's born day. Aside from spinning one of his choice, funk-loaded sets live on-air (filled with purple cuts from the The Kid, no less) Egypt capped off the affair with a live session on the TR-808, proving he's yet to lose a step in three decades of beat freaking. And while this one may be better fit for our Mixtape Monday round-up, the sheer magnitude of the set is enough to get an early jump. Listen as Egyptian Lover delves into his come-up, the P-Funk connection and spin supremely on J Rocc's radio show below. If you need a live and direct taste, catch Egyptian Lover at Summerstage on June 27th with Maxi Priest, Bunji Garlin, Massive B and more.
