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

For everybody who is sick of everything else, BETA ERKO is a quartet comprising DSP wizard Robin Fox (Synaesthesia), turntable maestro Martin Ng (gcttcatt, Mego), tri-lingual MC Vulk Makedonski (Curse Ov Dialect, Mush) & prepared piano freak/ producer Anthony Pateras (Synaesthesia, Tzadik).

" 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.
