Essenger stands as a unique artist at the crossroads of nostalgia and futurism, fusing elements of 1980s–inspired synthwave with modern electronic music and storytelling through song. Emerging as a force within the synthwave scene, the solo act hails from Kansas City and has been capturing the attention of electronic music enthusiasts with his distinctive blend of genres since his debut. Essenger's musical style is a tapestry that interweaves synth-driven melodies with compelling vocals, bridging the gap between retro and contemporary electronic music with finesse and an unmistakable edge.

Throughout Essenger's recent releases, one can trace the evolution of an artist who is not afraid to experiment while staying true to a core aesthetic that is introspective, melodic, and emotive. Tracks like "dissolve (days lost)" and "As Above, So Below" exemplify Essenger's capacity to craft atmospheric soundscapes that transport listeners to a cyberpunk-tinged universe of his own making. His work on "Sanctum Eternal" and "griefling" showcases his skill in delivering raw, emotional narratives underpinned by pulsating beats and lush synths. Meanwhile, remixes such as "Divine Virus (ANGEL CANNON Remix)" and "Tenebrous (Becko Remix)" see Essenger's original compositions reimagined through the lens of fellow creators, further expanding the reach and versatility of his sound. The presence of edgier tracks like "BLOODSUCKER!" indicates Essenger's ability to infuse his music with intensity and a dark charm, reinforcing his standing as an imaginative force within the electronic music landscape.
