Toolroom's leading lady ESSEL returns to the label with a brand new killer vinyl 2-tracker. First up is her recent smash 'Rave Is The Weapon' with fellow female powerhouse and talented DJ, producer and vocalist, Alex Mills. Alex Mills is on an incredible journey! She had a UK top 40 hit last year with 'Million Dollar Bill' and as a talented vocalist boasts writing credits on records with the likes of Camelphat, Solardo and Ferreck Dawn. When these 2 are in the same room together, the energy that exudes from them is on another level! Their genuine friendship and thirst for fun is clearly visible and this spills into the record in a massive way. This BANGS! A peak-time tech houser in a similar vein to ESSEL's Beatport chart topping tracks 'Sweat', and 'Lennon' with a lyric that will be screamed on dance floors and at festivals for the foreseeable future... 'RAVE is the weapon!' On the flipside is her late 2023 Toolroom single 'The Edge' that already sits on an impressive 4m streams and almost 40 Radio 1 plays. She has received a huge amount of radio support over the past few years which was rewarded with a DJ booking at Radio 1's 'Big Weekend' back in May alongside the world's leading artists. As far as the record is concerned... This is a real EARWORM! A stripped back, fun record with insanely catchy vocals and one that will please radio DJs, and club DJs alike.
