I'm OK, You're OK . Beta Erko

 

quecksilber 9
2005. cd . dl

" I’m OK, You’re OK" slices open the hip hop myth and guts it of any stylistic restraints, presenting a kaleidoscopic reconfiguration of familiar elements (beats, rhymes, samples, scratching) that are moulded into fifteen tracks of insane vocal textures, head-splitting sonics and multi-temporal rhythms.

Fearless of delving anywhere within the electro-acoustic spectrum, Beta Erko use gargled scat singing, frenetic scratch-fests, impenetrable digital mashups, overcooked electronics and hyperactive beat boxing to create an unbelievable stylistic anomaly.

"I’m OK, You’re OK" is a rare case where four cracked minds came together to do something completely different and it worked a little too well.
