I took some time this past weekend to dive into some old school hip hop sites, and uncovered some gems. Don't even get me started about Original Underground Hip-Hop , where S.O.U.L. posts a staggering amount of old school mixes (two a day since I subscribed). Go over and take a look, you'll be blown away. But tonight I have to share a mix I found on DJ Dee-Ville's blog, Ain't It Good To You . I'm a little nutty about 80's electro, particularly artists like Egyptian Lover, the Soulsonic Force, and Man Parrish. So stumbling [...]
The robots got funky this past Saturday night, with Georgio and myself throwing down a number of Prince [or Prince-related] jams. Getting prime billing was Dez Dickerson 's (I Want 2 B A) Modernaire . Dez , who played guitar for Prince in 1979/80, performed with his Modernaires for a scene in Purple Rain, but only 18 seconds of his song ever made it into the film. The track was supposed to get released either as a single or on the soundtrack, but Dez's song got shelved, label offers fell through and a solo career failed to [...]
YOYOYOYOYOYOYOYOYO! I've been hoarding some great new jams that I think would be great to hear at the freshest of fresh dance parties – I'm obviously speaking of Adams Street (or should I say Adam's Treat?). For those who are unfamiliar with Adams Street Dance Parties (ASDP) they were simply amazing dance parties that BLCK DMND, Ango, The Arctic Cat, and myself would host at Ango + The Arctic Cat's apt. on a street named, as you can guess, Adams. These parties were special because they occurred before the days of actual live DJing, so in order to provide the [...]
When the Arabian Prince cut his first record, few people east of San Bernadino had ever heard of the City of Compton and nobody had California in mind when they mentioned rap about street gangs. To an outsider, the scene in L.A. might have looked corny. Jheri curls, drum machines and dudes dressed in purple. Rap music was, sometimes literally, a joke. Bobby Jimmy and the Critters, a novelty act fronted by present-day shock jock Russ Parr attracted the best producers in Southern California, including Egyptian Lover ("We Like Ugly Women," 1984) and Arabian Prince ("Big Butt," 1984, [...]
Egypt, Egypt Egyptian Lover
When I first heard that the good people at Stones Throw Records decided to release a collection of West Coast pioneer Arabian Prince 's music from the 1980's, I was ecstatic. Having worked with the likes of the Egyptian Lover , N.W.A. , & The World Class Wreckin' Crew (In which Dr. Dre was involved), it's no surprise that the Stones Throw crew wanted to shed some light on an important figure in the electro-rap game. This is groundbreaking and inspiring music- and if you're not [...]
In this special Wayward Blog Q&A, we asked local DJ Brent Tactic , one-half of the DJ duo Tactic , to interview pioneering L.A. electro DJ The Egyptian Lover , who's coming to Kansas City this Saturday, August 23, to perform with Tactic and others at Sike Style 's Fall Clothing Release Party at Crosstown Station. The interview was conducted over e-mail and is freakin' cool. Brent Tactic: There are definitely dance music fans [...]

Egyptian Lover - Freak-A-holic
Expand Friday flyer | Expand Saturday flyer It's been one year since Turntable Lab set up shop in L.A. and to celebrate, they're throwing their biggest party yet—so big, in fact, it's two parties stretched across tonight and tomorrow. On the bill tonight we have Hollertronix (i.e. Diplo and Low Bee ) and Blaqstarr at the 700 capacity EX_PLX in Echo Park (L.A.). This is likely to sell out quick, trust! Here's a jammy from Hollertronix' first [...]
There were about a billion different posts i wanted to make that were more interesting than just the simple "check these songs out, they're great" kind of thing. But i don't really feel like writing too much because i feel like I've caught a bad case of writers block from last weekend. I'm usually more interested in posting songs that aren't totally devoid of all meaning; not posting songs that you would play in the bar/club that make drunk people dance (this is always sort of a blurred line with me) -- but fuck it -- seeing as how my [...]
