Following his hypnotic debut “Hypnotic Rhythms EP,” The Escapologist returns with his second release on Plastic City: The “Rhythm Spirits EP” expands his soundscape and leads even deeper into a world of meditative grooves, minimalist structures, and loop-based storytelling. With clear roots in the deep house aesthetic and subtle influences from minimal funk and dub, this EP is a work for intimate club nights, vinyl purists, and anyone who values subtle progressions and sonic details over flashy effects.
🎧 Traklisting of the EP
1️⃣ Moments of Time: A groovy, minimal house track with rolling basslines, warm textures, and precise rhythmic detail. Designed for long DJ blends and reflective dancefloors.
2️⃣ Fragment of the Mind: Even deeper and more introspective. A structured, floating composition that balances between presence and abstraction—atmospheric, meditative, subtle.
3️⃣ Moments of Time (Rich’s Stripped Back Mix): A minimalist reinterpretation by Rich that brings space and structure to the fore. Elegantly reduced and hypnotically functional—perfect for DJs who love reduction.
4️⃣ Fragment of the Mind (Rich’s Dub): A dub-inspired rework version dominated by hazy chords, long delays, and a dreamy nighttime atmosphere. Deep, immersive, and cinematic.
With hypnotic loops, clear rhythmic language, and minimal sophistication, The Escapologist is establishing itself as the new name for those deep, deep hours on the dance floor.
The Escapologist is a fresh but focused voice on the international underground scene. His sound is characterized by repetition, subtle details, and emotional restraint—music that takes its time, unfolds depth, and creates space for reflection. With the “Rhythm Spirits EP,” he consistently continues his musical journey: rhythm as ritual, groove as meditation.
