Echo Party is a 2009 mixtape by American hip hop musician Edan, released on Five Day Weekend. 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.
Echo Party was released on CD and vinyl. The vinyl release comes in a white sleeve, each with unique stencil and stamp artwork handmade by Edan, and is limited to 1000 copies.
According to Metacritic, Echo Party received an average score of 71/100 based on 10 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
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." 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."
It was listed by Dave Segal of The Stranger as one of the "2009's Top Overlooked Releases".
