ridiculous yet loving 80s rap pastiche or kitsch yet progressive update of reaganomic rap?

He's a lot of fun. Wouldn't say classic or anything but definitely not dud. "Run That Shit!" is priceless.

he was my drummer's roommate at berklee!!!!!!!!!!!

i've only heard one track so i can't really say classic or dud

― jake b. (cerybut), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 23:04 (twenty-one years ago)

care to shed any nice memories?!

― dickvandyke (dickvandyke), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 23:04 (twenty-one years ago)

uhhh, CLASSIC

i don't have any memories, it was my drummer who knew him (i was never at berklee). he said he was really nice etc. he majored in music production i think. we're playing tonight, i'll ask him if he has any EDAN STORIES

everything i've heard has been a cut above the backpackers def. there's some track from the robot cover one i play out all the time

I've only heard Primitive Plus but I really liked it. Other albums worth getting?

― marvin wang (marvin wang), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 15:41 (twenty-one years ago)

the new single is awesome, or well, the b-side is. incredible beats.

― dickvandyke (dickvandyke), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Classic!

He's got skills even though copping the old time flavor!

Like big daddy kane on PCP.

― jj, Wednesday, 30 June 2004 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

He's okay in parts and classique in others. I love "Run That Shit" and "Sing It Shitface". Sometimes the production can be a bit tinny I find.

― dog latin (dog latin), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 16:06 (twenty-one years ago)

OMT about the tinniness. its like he sampled samples of samples of breakbeats.

― dickvandyke (dickvandyke), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Really like the album from a couple of years ago.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Yall are kidding right? Dud.

new album : echo party
mixtape that mashes up all sorts of old school hip hop/disco with extra instrumentation by edan.
the promo version is a fucking pain.
constantly looping a robo voice : 'you are listening to a bullshit promotional copy of echo party'

ha, I think 'Beauty & the beat' was the same, very annoying

― Roger Sánchez Broto (vain_bowers), Wednesday, 21 October 2009 14:09 (sixteen years ago)

uh that's the point

― hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 21 October 2009 15:12 (sixteen years ago)

there are times in the 15 minute mix though that you can hardly hear the music as the robo-vocal is so high in the mix.
still, the 'now please throw this away' (or some other words to that effect) at the end, made me laugh.

― mark e, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 15:17 (sixteen years ago)

it's almost as if he wanted you to just get a taste of what it was like but then feel the need to buy it to get the full experience.

― hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 21 October 2009 16:39 (sixteen years ago)

Beauty and the Beat was great

― Jesus, the Czar of Czars (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 21 October 2009 16:42 (sixteen years ago)

The song "Run That Shit" came back to me this week and made me smile. Haven't listened to Primitive Plus or Beauty and the Beat in a while. Stoked that he's got some new stuff.

― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 16:52 (sixteen years ago)

so it's a mixtape, not an actual album with songs and the rapping and hipping and the hopping?

― hope this helps (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 21 October 2009 20:15 (sixteen years ago)

this sounds pretty great

Echo party is the shit

― jaxon, Thursday, 14 January 2010 01:46 (sixteen years ago)

The Echo Party DVD is out now too and it's pretty staggering. The source material -- old hip-hop related film/video, 70s/80s psychesploitation/sci-fi/bollywood cheese, foreign animation, and found footage (like the double-dutch jumprope clips above) -- is synched so perfectly with Edan's beats and instrumentation. The video has been tweaked slightly since that original clip above too.
