Artist description The Escapologists make deep, thickly textured dance music. A combination of warped samples, intricate beats, analogue warmth, digital crunch and strange new noises. Sometimes optimistic, sometimes paranoid and sometimes just plain up for it, the Escapologists are always interesting.
