Kay Cee - Escape

Review by muhammad badrul haq

Escape by Kay Cee: A 2000 Dance Floor Grenade That Still Bangs Alright, let’s get one thing straight—Kay Cee’s Escape isn’t just another album from the early 2000s. It’s a full-on assault of beats, synths, and vibes that hits harder than most electronic albums out there. Released in 2000 under labels like Go For It and Orbit Records, this sucker was cooked up by some serious heavyweights: Kim Lacour, Pete Namlook, Stephan Bodzin. These dudes didn’t mess around when it came to crafting bangers. The genres? Dance and Electronic. The styles? Electro and Trance. And yeah, it’s got that German-UK crossover flavor that screams late-night raves and neon-lit clubs. Tracks like “Escape (Club Mix)” and “Escape (Signum Remix)” are still engraved in my brain because they slap so damn hard you can’t help but move. Let me break it down for ya. First off, “Escape (Club Mix)” is pure fire. This track grabs you by the throat with its relentless bassline and doesn’t let go until your feet are sore from dancing. There’s something about how the synths swirl around the beat—it feels chaotic but controlled, like anarchy with a purpose. You know those nights where everything else fades away except the music? Yeah, this is THAT track. If I close my eyes while listening, I’m back at some sweaty Berlin club or a packed UK warehouse party. No lie. Then there’s “Escape (Signum Remix).” Holy crap, this version flips the original on its head. It starts slow, teasing you with soft pads and distant melodies, then BAM—it drops into a euphoric trance groove that makes your chest vibrate. The energy shift here is insane. One second you’re chilling, and the next you're losing your mind on the dance floor. Signum knew what he was doing—he turned this remix into a weapon designed to blow speakers and melt faces. Now, credit where it’s due—the artwork by Ralf Hiemisch and Eikes Grafischer Hort matches the vibe perfectly. It’s sleek, futuristic, and kinda trippy, just like the music inside. But honestly, I don’t care if the cover looked like a toddler’s finger painting as long as the tracks delivered—and trust me, they do. Here’s the kicker though: even after all these years, Escape hasn’t aged a day. Most albums from 2000 sound dated now, but not this one. Maybe it’s because electro and trance never really went out of style, or maybe it’s because Kay Cee and co. created something timeless. Either way, it’s wild how relevant this album still feels today. Final thought? Listening to Escape is like taking a time machine back to the golden era of electronic music—but somehow, it also sounds ahead of its time. Almost like Kay Cee predicted the future or something. Or maybe...just maybe...he escaped it entirely. Who knows? All I know is, this album slaps. Period.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Escape* by Kay Cee, released in 2000, is a wild ride through electronic music. It blends Electro and Trance styles, with tracks remixed by different artists, giving it a unique vibe. Fun fact—there are *two* versions of the same remix: one spelled as "Re-Mix" and the other as "Re-mix." Small detail, but it shows how even tiny differences can make each version stand out! Plus, the artwork was a team effort, with Ralf Hiemisch contributing paintings and Eikes Grafischer Hort handling the cover design. A true collaborative masterpiece!
