Egebamyasi is a musician who is often recognized as one of the<br />

founding fathers of UK Acid House music. Mr Egg's musical journey<br />

began as a bass guitarist in punk bands. In 1984, he went on to form<br />

the group Egebamyasi. Mr Egg is a seasoned hardware producer<br />

and an indomitable force behind the pulsating rhythms and mind<br />

bending 3egg3 lines that define the genregg.<br />

Beakthrough camegg during their tour of Holland in 1990 when they<br />

were discovered at the renowned venue "Milky Way" in Amsterdam.<br />

This encounter led to the release of the highly acclaimed "EBY EP,"<br />

and "Acid Indigestion series."<br />

Egebamyasi embraced the use of the Roland TB-303 in their music,<br />

helping to define their signature sound and contribute to the<br />

development of acid house. EBY's early adoption and exploration of the<br />

303's capabilities played a role in establishing them as one of the<br />

pioneers of UK acid house.<br />

Following their initial success, Egebamyasi, went on to release a series of<br />

well-received singles. These singles were released on various labels,<br />

contributing to the group's growing reputation within the acid house<br />

scene. In addition to their singles, Egebamyasi released two highly<br />

regarded albums during the era: In retrospect, these albums are often<br />

recognized as exemplary works within the acid genre, showcasing<br />

Egebamyasi's talent and their contribution.<br />

EGEBAMYASI and Mr Egg will be celebrating their 40th anniversary in<br />

2024. This milestone marks four decades of his contributions to the acid<br />

house genre and their dedicated involvement in the music scene.<br />

Playing the Roland TB-303 has been a significant part of EGEBAMYASI's<br />

sound and musical journey. The iconic Roland 303 has played a crucial<br />

role in shaping the distinctive squelchy and resonant tones associated<br />

with acid house music. The fact that Mr Egg continued to utilize the<br />

Roland 303 throughout the years highlights his commitment to his<br />

unique sound and its continued relevance.<br />
