The Egyptian Lover : https://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/.../egyptian-lover... Egyptian Lover is a legend in certain circles but a mystery to most – an artist who was in deep with most of the West Coast hip-hop scene before the gangsta sound came along. Born Greg Broussard, Egyptian Lover was a rapper, DJ, and producer who was hugely influenced by the New York electro scene, as well as by the electro-funk of Zapp. This was flat-out party music: not afraid to be a little corny, and dynamite on the dancefloor. Although he began associating with Uncle Jamm’s Army and Radio Crew, it was as a solo artist that he made his impact. “Egypt, Egypt” was an LA anthem in 1984, and On the Nile was one of the first hip-hop albums to come out of the left coast. Even after gangsta rap swept away all that before it, his early works have remained staples of electro sets across the world.

Opening Sets by:
Funkbot: (Harrisburg, PA) house, funky beats https://soundcloud.com/funkbot A force to be reckond with, Funkbot has been tearing up the decks around Harrisburg playing a variety of funky house grooves for several years. Between his regular parties at Riverfront Park and The Harrisburg Beach Club, he’s really come to be a staple of the Central PA DJ scene.
Supernicer : (Harrisburg, PA) downtempo, rnb, hip hop An elusive character, Supernicer brings an eclectic and tasteful, almost refreshing vibe to any dance floor. A member of legendary group Exmag, he’s obviously been a powerhouse of the live music space. All genres welcome from this guy, but expect throwbacks, jazz, funk, and everything soulful in between.
