On this episode of The Outsiders (formerly known as "Outsider Oldies"), host Rich Tupica dedicates an hour to some of the rawest Southern soul ever cut. From the colossal sounds of Stax Records to gritty, forgotten R&B 45s, this is one moody episode.

Egyptian Lover

On 11 June 2018, Egyptian Lover was a guest on Mint Condition w/ Randy Ellis; and on 29 March 2015 was a guest on Nonsense. Egyptian Lover has been played over 110 times on NTS, first on 31 October 2012. Egyptian Lover's music has been featured on 105 episodes.

Los Angeles-based producer Greg Broussard is the man behind pioneering hip-hop/electro fusion artist the Egyptian Lover.

Egyptian Lover records didn't start appearing until several years after the New York and Miami electro scenes were already in full swing, by the mid-'80s Egyptian Lover cuts like "Egypt, Egypt" were standards among club DJs, particularly in the breakdance scene. Early cuts such as "Computer Love" and "Dance" were among Egyptian Lover's most experimental, with the material appearing through the latter half of the '80s increasingly flirting with full-blown rap by adding more vocals and melodic hooks. While more of his material dates from the latter phase, it's his earlier releases that remain his most accomplished, and they're routinely namechecked by a new generation of producers such as Autechre and I-F inspired by electro's first wave. Also a member of Uncle Jamm's Army and the force behind a half dozen labels including Freak Beat and Egyptian Empire. After nearly a decade, Egyptian Lover released the digitally edited compilation "Pyramix", then hit the studio again and produced new tracks in the same funky electro style for the album "Back From the Tomb".
