Mantronix was an influential 1980s hip hop and electro funk music group founded by DJ Kurtis Mantronik (Kurtis el Khaleel), and
rapper MC Tee (Touré Embden). Mantronix underwent several genre (and line-up) changes during its 7-year existence (1984–
1991), from old school hip hop to electro funk to house music, but the group is primarily remembered for its original, heavily
synthesized blend of old school hip-hop and electro funk.
