Escapism Refuge - Hold [Deluxe] (2018)

If music-making is 'escapism', Jason has found his refuge [within] the depth of sound and delicate unfoldings of melody – LiveMag SA

Building upon the success of down tempo trip hop inspired singles 'Drifting' and 'Misfit', Escapism Refuge follows with his debut album: 'Hold', dropping on 10th November via UK indie label Deep Heads with featured guests Zeb Samuels, Charli Brix and Ill Chill.

Hailing from South Africa Jason Beukes has earned himself a mass following through his crafting of ambient, electronic soundscapes. Jason's affinity with rhythm was revealed when he began playing the drums at 13. A passion for textured beats was ignited which saw the young musician delve into production – simultaneously studying 'Contemporary Music' and putting out a string of critically acclaimed EPs under his moniker. Absorbing himself in sophisticated patterns and bringing his beats to life, the young virtuoso fuses elements of trip hop, down tempo and 2 step, at times reminiscent of Radiohead, Bonobo and A Tribe Called Quest.
