Escape Artist

𝙀𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚 𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩’𝙨 “𝙁𝙖𝙧 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨” drifts into view like a transmission from some distant shoreline — breakbeat haze, dubwise pulse, and dreamy rave melancholia folded into a single, transportive language.

Across the EP, fluorescent pads blur into smoked-out basslines, while crisp, stepping drums keep everything buoyant and propulsive. The mood leans widescreen and emotional: expansive electronics that echo early morning comedowns, half-remembered parties, and the blissful daze that sits between euphoria and afterglow.

As always with Craigie Knowes, there’s a sense of deep craft beneath the atmosphere. Escape Artist threads UK rave DNA with Aussie ambient-techno subtlety, shaping tracks that feel both classic and newly illuminated — dancefloor effective, yes, but equally perfect for drifting, dreaming, and disappearing into those far away places hinted in the title.
