Destroy All Monsters: Child of the Night
For London Design Festival 2014, designers like Tom Dixon and Industrial Facility made playlists for #SuperStimuli
Set designer Gary Card opted for what is a certifiable deep cut with Egyptian Lover’s 1986 electro-dance jam “Freak-A-Holic.” (The song was originally intended for the soundtrack to Prince’s “Purple Rain.”) The LA-based Egyptian Lover (born Greg Broussard) packs his video for the song with all good things ’80s: big hair, lots of gold rings, back-up dancers and an endless number of kitschy ancient Egyptian props (aside from the colorful blown-up balloons) that are—to bring things full circle—worthy of one of Card’s more cartoonish sets.
