Escape has been actively involved in music since the early days of the British underground music scene and can trace his influences right back to the summer of love days around 1988. Inspired by his big two older brothers, he began experimenting with the hip hop, techno and acid house tunes that defined the era. The explosion of hardcore and the early UK rave scene coincided with Escape starting secondary school and he took it upon himself to convert his group of friends at the time with highly sought after tapes from early pirate stations and legendary live events.

His passion for records and raving grew steadily until his early DJ career was brought to an abrupt halt after his big brother moved out - leaving him without access to his beloved turntables. This brief hiatus was short lived and around 1995 Escape began to make his first impressions on the emergent jungle scene.

25 Years later, Escape is still doing at the heart of it, running Muzik Hertz and co promoting Broken Minds.
