Egyptian Hip Hop

Egyptian Hip Hop is a Manchester-born electronic pop project that bubbled up in the late 2000s with a shimmery, genre-blurring sound. Formed by childhood friends Alexander Hewett and Louis Stevenson while still in their teens, the group became synonymous with the DIY indie-dance scene, blending wiry guitars, off-kilter synths, and hypnotic rhythms. Their 2012 debut album *Good Don’t Sleep* (mentioned in your list!) cemented their reputation for crafting hazy, cerebral tracks that feel like psychedelic dance parties for overthinkers. After a hiatus, they reemerged with projects like the *Some Reptiles Grew Wings* EP and tracks like *SYH* and *Tobago*, leaning further into atmospheric experimentation and global influences. Their music feels like a love letter to late-night curiosity—equal parts restless, playful, and strangely introspective.
