Drawing on drum machines, such as the Roland TR-808, and influenced by funk, these two genres were intertwined and rode a parallel axis for a while, with rap, breakdance, and graffiti as pillars of the culture and community. The mechanical sound of electro would later go on to inspire a different set of producers and played its part in influencing contemporary electronic dance music. For this 7\" release we are taking things back to 1984 and 1985 with a \u003cstrong\u003esplit single\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cstrong\u003eThe Egyptian Lover\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJamie Jupitor\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst up is a track from The Egyptian Lover, AKA Greg J. Broussard, the cult Los Angeles-based producer, vocalist and DJ, who is a \u003cstrong\u003etrue hip-hop \/ electro-fusion pioneer\u003c\/strong\u003e. 'Computer Love (Sweet Dreams)' is a seminal electro-fusion \/ machine- funk classic that saw a release on the iconic label Freak Beat Records (owned by Greg himself). The original 7\" release is now very \u003cstrong\u003esought-after by collectors\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the flip we have another electro jam from The Egyptian Lover disciple, Jamie Jupitor. 'Computer Power’ was additionally produced and arranged by The Egyptian Lover, and was released on \u003cstrong\u003eEgyptian Empire Records\u003c\/strong\u003e (the label that evolved from Freak Beat Records). For this release we have opted for a special 7\" unreleased radio edit, that has Greg kindly provided us with, which differs slightly in composition from the previously released versions.
