ESSEL’s Look Back is a certified club weapon

As the dust barely settles from this year’s collaboration with Alex Mills, Toolroom welcomes ESSEL back on the label with ‘Look Back’.

A certified club weapon that’s been a highlight in her recent DJ sets, demonstrating her production versatility; flipping from stand out ‘feel good’ moments to ‘lights off’ driving club bangers. Stylistically, ‘Look Back’ is a return to club form in the vein of previous Beatport number one’s ‘Sweat’ and ‘Lennon’.

ESSEL is a Liverpool-born DJ and producer shaping a fresh take on UK house—rhythmic, vocal-led, and built for late nights. With recent releases on Toolroom and Ministry of Sound, she’s picked up heavyweight support from Danny Howard, Gorgon City, and BBC Radio 1. Her sets are tight and purposeful, rooted in groove but open to crossover moments. From Printworks to Creamfields, she’s become a fixture on major lineups, while continuing to push a sound that feels both immediate and refined.
