An interview with the great electro-Pharaoh West Coast Pioneer. After an hour of his early 80s and 90s releases, we launch into an in-depth interview to discuss the rise of feminism, spirituality of music and the future for Egyptian Empire Records, his own label, reputed to be the first Afro-American record label. Tracks like Freak-a-holic, influenced by Kraftwerk, made Egyptian Lover one of the most notable producers and DJs of his time. Still performing with his 808 and decks, Egyptian Lover visits the UK for a one-off gig. Follow Free Lab Radio’s blog or more regular posts on Facebook

Free Lab Radio ….::M:A:X:I:M:A:L::…
Cock an ear to the u:ber cross-genre form that’s been exploding dancefloors over the world with such bravado.
Strangely I came across this music form (most commonly incarnate as maximal-electro) while hunting Iranian dance music, so thanks to Ramtin from the group Monosurround and artist/filmmaker Daryus Shokof. Most tracks in this episode explore tensions between maximal and minimal style.

Free Lab Radio – John Kameel Farah
John Kameel Farah draws on his various electronic, classical and Middle Eastern influences to create a music which is intensely personal, political and often downright groovy. Based variously in Toronto and Berlin, he toured the UK this summer, and on 23 July Free Lab Radio was delighted to welcome him to Borough High Street to perform live in session and talk about the meanings behind his music.
