Inspired by Escort's upcoming Irish live debut this Sunday in The Twisted Pepper organised by the ever-reliable Bodytonic crew, I decided to dedicate one my lists entirely to this magical 17-piece disco ensemble from Brooklyn. Escort has been electrifying me with their genre-reviving modern disco anthems since the release of their debut single "Starlight" back in 2006, now fronted by the charismatic Adeline Michèle, the multi vibrant troupe is bringing their energetic show to Ireland for the very first time, following other European dates this week in London and Rennes. Here they are, "Brooklyn's finest disco orchestra" in 10 of their finest musical moments, as chosen subjectively by yours truly...
