Echo Party is a 2009 mixtape by American hip hop musician Edan, released on Five Day Weekend.[4] Edan was given access to the Traffic Entertainment Group vault of old school hip hop to create the album, resulting in a single 29-minute track two years later.[6]

Release

Echo Party was released on CD and vinyl.[9] The vinyl release comes in a white sleeve, each with unique stencil and stamp artwork handmade by Edan, and is limited to 1000 copies.[9]

Critical reception

According to Metacritic, Echo Party received an average score of 71/100 based on 10 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[1]

Rick Anderson of AllMusic commented that "you'll hear vintage hip-hop basslines, 808 beats, and exuberant '80s-style rapping interspersed with weirdness like chopped-up Latin rhythms and shout-outs to New York boroughs and zodiac signs."[2] Adam Kennedy of BBC called it "a production album over mere mixtape, one for the breakdancers, as well as appreciators of both forward-thinking and back-in-the-day craft."[4]

It was listed by Dave Segal of The Stranger as one of the "2009's Top Overlooked Releases".[10]
