Echo Party was released on CD and vinyl.[7] The vinyl release comes in a white sleeve, each with unique stencil and stamp artwork handmade by Edan, and is limited to 1000 copies.[7]

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]
