South Africa s Escapism Refuge returns to London s Smokin Sessions with the On The Fence EP, following his previous effort for the label the highly acclaimed Vol. 31 .
A-side and title track On The Fence is an understated and subtle effort, carrying with it an introspective and moody set of harmonies and chord progressions. It s a quietly uplifting start to the EP, and the track s lead melody will remain stuck in your head for days. The B1 Almost Eight does things differently by incorporating elements of classic Ruff Sqwad-era grime with an updated and crisp set of modern day production techniques. The EP s last track, Dust , uses a deep and propulsive bass line, which is augmented by Escapism s now signature use of fleeting vocal samples. It s a powerful ending to a heavyweight and emotionally-charged EP from Escapism Refuge.
Escapism Refuge s previous efforts have gained impressive DJ support from across the scene, from figures such as Compa (Deep Medi), Synkro, Gilles Peterson, Lefto, Joe Kay (Soulection), Don Letts, Tim Parker, N- Type, Phaeleh and many more.
The On The Fence EP will be available digitally and on 12 vinyl soon.
