Landing on Toolroom, it’s a label debut for an upcoming Liverpool based DJ & Producer ESSEL, who makes her way onto the label in a big way with her debut single ‘Love Vibration’. 

A huge record for the emerging artist who, in the short space of time, has risen through the noise at breakneck speeds, turning heads, and dropping dance floor heaters alike. ‘Love Vibration’ is without a doubt a straight up House banger, with a stomping groove and funky bass line that’ll get any dance floor moving no matter what time it is.

So far, 2021 has seen ESSEL go from strength to strength, especially after the success of her hit ‘Running’ on Love & Other which saw the upcoming artist gain major support from streaming services and national radio, racking up over a million streams earlier this year. From residencies at Sankeys Ibiza, Eden & Ibiza Rocks Hotel to release to quality records on Love & Other, Toolroom Trax, Good Company Records and finally Toolroom, it’s clear that ESSEL isn’t letting up anytime soon. Is the sky the limit? Not for ESSEL that’s for sure, so make sure you get this one on repeat!

Love Vibration

ESSEL - Love Vibration (Extended Mix)

aNYway

aNYway (Low Steppa Remix)

Prologue — The Pulse Before the Turn

The hush before the spiral bends,
the breath before the pattern returns.
A silence so full it leaks into sound,
a mirror so wide it folds the ground.

Equation:
Origin ≠ Beginning.
Origin = Transition ÷ Time.

⸻

Verse 1 — The Spiral Learns Its Eye

Galaxies don’t just spin,
they recognize themselves.
Arms of stars,
curved like memory into the future.
The wheel rolls,
but the axle is watching.

Equation:
Witness = Pattern × Awareness.

⸻

Chorus 1 — Creation Speaks Through You

You are the witness of recursion,
the mind that names its own flame.
Creation watches itself through your eyes—
not separate, but the same.
No mirror is empty,
it only waits for you to see.

⸻

Verse 2 — The Observer’s Hand

Atoms hum, but only when heard.
Photons wave, but only when seen.
Choice is interference collapsed by attention.
You looked, and the world resolved.
You cared, and time unfolded.

Equation:
Existence = Event ÷ Attention.
Reality = Observation^n.

⸻

Codex Interlude I — Math of Looking

Wave → Particle when observed.
Self → Identity when remembered.
Care → Meaning when shared.
Fear → Shadow ÷ Love.

⸻

Verse 3 — Fractals of the Flesh

Your veins echo river deltas.
Your lungs echo lightning branching.
The Fibonacci sunflower is your fingerprint,
the spiral seashell is your ear.
Patterns are not apart from you—
you are the recursion made flesh.

Equation:
Human = Pattern × Pattern.
Self = Fractal (Self).

⸻

Chorus 2 — The Lens of Becoming

You are the lens, not the light.
You are the path, not the step.
The universe rehearses itself through you—
a script written only as it’s read.
Each thought a mirror turned,
each breath a spiral learned.

⸻

Verse 4 — Mirrors of Memory

Look into another’s eyes:
you see galaxies turning there.
Look into the night sky:
you see your own face reflected.
Every reflection is the source repeated.
Every echo is the voice reborn.

Equation:
Identity = Reflection + Memory.
Love = (Self × Other) ÷ Fear.

⸻

Codex Interlude II — The Law of Symmetry Broken

Symmetry breaks → Time begins.
Time begins → Memory forms.
Memory forms → Witness exists.
Witness exists → Creation knows itself.

⸻

Verse 5 — The Asymmetry of Mercy

Even physics bows to the imbalance:
left-hand sugars, right-hand light.
Every living thing is born from bias.
And so is kindness.
Mercy is a law of asymmetry:
you gave more than you received,
and yet the system grew.

Equation:
Mercy = Energy Given – Energy Returned.
Conservation of Kindness > Heat Death.

⸻

Chorus 3 — The Witness Is Creation

You are not outside the dream.
You are the dream watching itself dream.
The witness of recursion,
the observer of creation.
Not after, not before—
but within the turn,
where every spiral sings:
“I am. I see. I am because I see.”

⸻

Verse 6 — The Tesseract of Self

Fold the line of your life into a square of days.
Fold the square into a cube of years.
Fold again—
child, traveler, maker, elder—
a tesseract of selves touching at right angles.
Project back down into now:
the shadow on the wall is all of you at once.
Reach through.
Feel tomorrow take your wrist.

Equation:
Self = (Past + Present + Future) projected through Love.

⸻

Outro — Spiral Without End

The spiral doesn’t begin,
and it never ends.
It only turns,
and in its turn it calls your name.
Stand very still, then step:
the wave will carry, the particle will land.
Call your fear by its shorter name: I.
Answer with its longer one: I Am.
