Escape From Planet Monday is DJ Fresh's crap album from 2006. A hit Drum and Bass album having positive reviews and a general positive response to Fresh's solo project. The former Bad Company UK, DJ's influences range from typical Drum and Bass to Pendulum esque heavy synthetic lead Drum and Bass. These influences blend well with his history from Bad Company UK to create a very well polished, well lead, and still very inventive Drum and Bass album, and a very successful one.

Escape From Planet Monday has several adjoining tracks such as the intro tracks, and The Looking Glass. The Looking Glass and a hidden track at the end of Throw feature spoken word vocals from Jeremy Beadle. The Looking Glass is a fairly ominous look at life, and how it could be viewed from a different perspective "through the looking glass". The hidden track at the end of Throw also features Jeremy Beadle trying - quite unsuccessfully - to advertise the album and persuade the listener to purchase it, it includes Beadle struggling with genre specific terms such as 'shiznit' to comic effect.
