Edan has just released an INSANE mixtape called “Echo Party”. As can be expected it is some next level shit!!!
Behold…
EDAN
Echo Party
Hip Hop/Funk/Punk
FIVE DAY WEEKEND
“Following a drought of material in recent years, the nu-skool saviour of the old-skool aka Edan gives up this remarkable mix’n’mash’n’chop’n’dub set ‘Echo Party’. For the last two years he’s had access to the entire Traffic Ent. Group’s back catalog of old skool rap music, including labels like Magic Records, Chocolate Star, P&P among others, and allowed to do his thing, cutting a stupendous meta-mix through dance, punk, rap and punk with an unbridled febrility. Turntables, Guitars, Moog, Tape Echo, and various effects were deployed to enable this trip, crafting a mix that moves beyond the cut ‘n’ paste efforts of Shadow and Cut Chemist, to something approaching the collage/edit arrangements of Madlib’s ‘Beat Konducta’ series with a “screw-loose” disposition. He’s ultimately furthering the original Hip Hop aesthetic of Beat breaking, digging and DJing in his idiosyncratic fashion, taking it to the Nth degree, without cheating (read: without computers!). Even the LP sleeves will be handmade and anaolog, apparently with each one of the 1000 copies stencilled or stamped by Edan, personally! For our 2 cents it’s one of the maddest, most inspirational mixes you’ll hear this year and deeply deserving of much of your time and attention. Incredible.”
