Escapism: the chillout series that looks as beautiful as it sounds… Each single CD is luxuriously packaged in a heavyweight embossed clamcase box. Inside is the perfect Sunday soundtrack, featuring a cherry-picked selection of pieces from some of the best-respected names in chill: Jon Hopkins, Honeyroot, and Leo Abrahams, amongst others.

The artists involved have often been classically trained and this is evident in the depth and rich musicality of the albums – beautifully-created instrumental soundscapes featuring strings, piano and ambient beats. Here’s what the press have said about the artists and tracks involved:

“Blissfully ambient – classic, not clichéd” - The Independent on Sunday
“Beautifully realized” - The Guardian
“Beguiling, contemporary and frequently sublime” - Q Magazine
“Piano, guitar strings, and slow beats blend like the clouds at sunset…. Atmospheric and beautifully crafted” - DJ magazine
“Soulful electronica meets blissful beats” - Future Music
“Sultry, sexy and perfect to unwind to” - The Big Chill
“Dramatic, emotive, and, quite frankly, darkly genius” - The Fly
