    Esc alias Juha Riipinen is a co-founder of the very first weekly running drum’n’bass club “Kongo” in Tampere Finland back in the 1990’s. Later on, his talents behind the decks has made him a popular guest dj at parties around Finland.

    In addition to his busy dj schedule, Esc produces music too. His drum’n’bass release “Lost and Found” (IDJ) w/ a remix by myself, is available at proper digital recordstores (e.g. juno, beatport). Also, Esc has made quite a few ambient downtempo tunes that are available at his soundcloud. Make sure that you also check and follow Esc’s Facebook page.

    Big thanks to all you producers for the Season Two free tracks and special thanks to Esc for recording this awesome mixtape.

    Esc & Mineral playing at Pressure-clubEsc alias Juha Riipinen is a DJ/Producer hailing from Tampere, Finland. This guy has been fiddling with music since he was a kid. Esc has explored various styles from punk to techno  but after hearing Super Sharp Shooter and Square Off at the mid-90’s, there has not been a question though, what music he loves the best.

    Since late 90’s Esc has contributed to the scene also as a DJ. In the year 2000 he co-founded the first ever weekly d&b club in Finland with DJ Beyond from Kongocrew and has later played at various clubs and events with the likes of Seba, Noisia, Loxy, Sabre and SpectraSoul to name but a few. Esc is also part of the Pressure cru which runs Pressure, one of the longest standing d&b clubs in Finland.

    I’ve been producing, DJ’ing and arranging dnb events with Esc for years now. This 2010 VIP of Esc’s classic Kongo Tune is made for the celebration of the 10 years of Kongocrew! Hope you enjoy it. I’m gonna play the track for sure next friday at the party!

    ESC – LOST AND FOUND + MINERAL REMIX FORTHCOMING ON IDJ

    I’m happy to announce that Esc’s track Lost And Found will be shortly out on Indajungle recordings with my remix of the track.

    Check out Esc’s soundcloud for the original track and Mineral’s soundcloud for the remix.
