Eggboy

Eggboy is the synthesized and electronica alter ego of Diego Mapa, prolific member of Monsterbot, Cambio, Pedicab and God knows knows who else.

Anyway, last December, at the Furball Christmas party, he was giving out a homemade CD. Eh di kami close, so I got shy and didn't ask for one. I felt it was bound to be uploaded soon anyway, and I was right. At the very sparsely updated Sibika't Kultura, I found the following links to the free download of Eggboy's Dragzbanny EP and more.

The Dragzbanny EP can be downloaded HERE. The album artwork can be found HERE.

Eggboy was also part of a number of artists and producers who remixed Bagetsafonik's Travelogue into Travel Agents: Bagetsafonik / Travelogue Detours. Other artists involved are Caliph8 and Squid9. (Note to self: when thinking of a DJ name, must end with a digit.) Click HERE to download, via QED.

The local franchise of Project Runway also commissioned Eggboy for tracks to make up the show's soundtrack. Given two weeks, and with his wife about to give birth any time, Eggboy came up with around 40 pieces. By the end of the project, he, "made almost 80 pieces including stingers, bumpers and disapproved tracks."

Finding a way to still own the tracks, Eggboy released them as 50 INTSTRMNTLS N A WK. It's available for free download (commercial use needs permission): PART 1, PART 2.

Download in progress, will listen asap.
