Edan – Echo Party

edan-echopart-lps

Edan’s latest project Echo Party drops Nov 17 via Five Day Weekend. Pre-orders available now via Stones Throw.

Edan was given access to the Traffic Ent. Group’s back catalog of old school rap – labels like Magic Records, Chocolate Star, P&P among others – and asked to create something new out of it, whatever he wanted. What began as a simple mixtape, two years later turned into a 30-min record of dance, rap and punk, utilizing everything from turntables, tape echo, guitar, moog and maybe even kazoos. He’s even going to hand-draw each LP cover.
 
The vinyl LP covers are going to be all white-tip on sleeves, like those old 60s records, with Edan stenciling, or stamping, or doing some kind of cover art to each one personally. There will be only 1000 made.
 
Updated October 26: The CD package is no joke either – see below. It’s in a small book format (some in white, some silver) with a 12-page book, obsessively detailing what’s playing on the album, typed out all madman style by Edan.
