You're so right!👍 It sounds so clean and punchy. Most of the tracks from nowadays are overproduced and don't sound better than this...I love the old tracks from egyptian lover too, it sounds so fresh!!!
Yo' I knew this man personally lol ; wow and was there the night that it was played for the " Eve After Dark " club goer's and unlike (Uncle Jams Army) Andre and Yellow would play "Egyptian Lover" when it first came out, but it took a while for "Uncle Jams" to play this song and I was a part of the Uncle Jams Crew 👍👍👍
I remember listening and break dancing to this in the U.K in 85, the lyrics "From Watts to Rome". I never understood Watts as a 13 year old but loved this track and that line would resonate. When Internet came along I understood Watts is in L.A. True story!
Mann the good ole days when everything was Fresh! HipHop was so new as well as Poppin and Breakin. The good ole days. I used to grab my Double tape deck jam box, put on my pumas, parachute pants, card board box and hit the hood for any challenges. Miss these days.
Boys from the Wild West didn't mess around anymore in those days. It sounds good classic with good quality. Good choice, thanks for uploading it to the social network.
Are you the Mr Manuel I think you are? If so, then you have my utmost thanks and respect for turning my then developing mind onto the beauty of electronic music. 808 Beats still remains a very personal favorite of mine, an absolute classic
Mr Manuel Unknown DJ,is that you?! That X-Men stuff was dope as hell!! Still bump that hard to this day, Detroit Classic! If this is you,thank you for your contribution and the inspiration. You sir are are a beast with the 808!!

I remember this classic track so well, We had one of those Crucial Electro albums (forget which one it was, but it also had the track 'Running' by Information Society & the 'Wiki Wiki' song) It was such a part of my 80s life.
I love this. Whenever this came on everyone knew not to attempt a body popping battle with me. I also used to set my alarm at 08:08 playing this song before my exams. I passed all my exams. After so many years, when it's 08:08 I think of this song, body popping and exams.
What-the real Gez Varley? If so,mucho respect sir!Still got my limited 12 of We Are Back somewhere in the loft-one of my records I never parted with.Magical times that they can never take away.
For some reason, when I was a kid, I thought the song said, "aids" instead of "808". So when I would sing it in class, I would say I Love my Aids Aids Aids.
dre was in the world class wrecking crew, this is the guy discogs credits.. Andre ManuelReal Name: Andre Pierre ManuelAliases: Spock, The Mechanic, The Unknown DJ
I remember when this initially came out. It’s not lost anything in 40 years; truly a timeless classic!
Production on these tunes was incredible. Still hasn't been bettered and still sounds fresh.

I still remember all the lyrics to the song
One of my favourite tunes I heard on the Streetsounds Electro series. From Electo 7, a great album that one.
first album i ever bought with my own money. the side with this, 'girls' and 'fresh mess' was great.
Thanks for this puttin this version on! Those were the days!

One of the best!!!
Electro is the future ...maybe a different style but its still here amd never will go away as its all about synths and then the extras
Todays electro is called trap, and it still uses 808 (manipulated samples usually), and it sucks LOL
I love this. Whenever this came on everyone knew not to attempt a body popping battle with me. I also used to set my alarm at 08:08 playing this song before my exams. I passed all my exams. After so many years, when it's 08:08 I think of this song, body popping and exams.

Used listen to dis on la k.day 1580 greg mack mack attack on my sony am .state of da art wow .42 yrx ago
808 was a preppers dream...I loved this track here...just pure energy in techno land...
Funny how there is no Roland TR-808 in this song. I'm thinking that is a DMX Drum machine? However, it was still the joint back in the day tho
I noticed that, was 808 a school of thought? Lol
R.I.P Derrick Marshall aka DIESEL🙏
I remember buying this in 1984
Deejay Dave Clarke brought me here. Thanx! Peace

From London studley BRomsgrove 2 Redditch lol DJ unknown da bass in ya bloody face I am the master of the 404 lol
great track but where is the 808 in this?
Scott Mitchell I always wondered that too. Oooohh, that gives me an idea.
Oh man pmsl with these comments
Scott Mitchell it’s done with 808
its an 808 with a ton of fx
😎✌💓
Sounds better at + 4 pitch
funny how the mix engineer left those fucked chords @1:18-1:20 and nobody ever seems to notice
No this wasn't dre. I believe he was a dj early on with Ice T
Chris "the glove" Taylor? it was ice t and Chris the glove Taylor but I don't think this is him.
dre was in the world class wrecking crew, this is the guy discogs credits.. Andre ManuelReal Name: Andre Pierre ManuelAliases: Spock, The Mechanic, The Unknown DJ
Dance
I believe the unknown DJ is no other than the Egyptian lover lol
+Shedon Chambliss Maybe...sound processing could change the pitch..He sounds a little higher in tone than Egyptian Lover
True some thing like ice t on doggin the wax
early Dr.Dre..so I'm told
Oh ok
Not so. I'm much better lookin' than Greg :-D
Taylor Swift sampled this
Isn't this a dr Dre production?
Nah man.
Detroit
Yep!
