Esentrik

Finally stepping foot outside of my apartment after 10 days locked up since Omicron stormed through New York City and landed on me, the cold breeze that turned my whole body red was jarring. But after listening to the esentrik edit of SZA’s ‘I Hate U,’ one thing became clear. NYC’s temperatures may be decreasing, but the music coming out…

Winter is cold, it’s long and it’s dark. As we near the end of February, the winter blues are creeping in. Too many months with little sunlight spent hibernating don’t tend to have the best effects on our minds. Thankfully esentrik has the cure. With ‘Let’s Ride’ summer comes early. From the infectious vocal bends, to the sun-drenched synths and…

It looks like DJ Envy is looking to get his DJ Khaled on. The radio personality and NY DJ legend has just inked a record deal with Commission Records and dropped a new single. ‘Text Ur Number’ sees Envy connecting with New Jersey natives Fetty Wap and DJ Sliink for a genre blurring summer smash. Co-produced with Esentrik, the track…

French Montana and Swae Lee’s ‘Unforgettable’ is primed to be a summer hit. The upbeat feel combined with the infectious melody and hook make it impossible to resist.

With the debut EP from TWRK only a few weeks away, eSenTRIK and Benzi are primed to take over the summer. To build some hype around the pre-order, the duo drop off another single. ‘Helicopter’ features massive builds with epic brass sections colliding with quick drums and chopped vocals. I haven’t heard a vocal sample this absurdly awesome since Jay Fay’s ‘Dibby…

Last week we had the pleasure of connecting with eSenTRIK for an exclusive interview. In the interview he brought my attention to a bootleg he created in 2010 that fused Drake’s mega hit ‘Over’ with Dj Sega’s ‘Be’. It was a huge track for him as it was the first time he ever received blog coverage and even saw it posted on Drake’s…

The kings of 100 bpm are back at it again! eSenTRIK and Benzi reconnect as TWRK to deliver a sultry remix of Blackbear’s ‘Dirty Laundry’. The track builds on the sexy vibe and summery bounce of the original and injects a new level of energy. As always the vocal chops are masterful and the drums are guaranteed to make you move.…

NY based DJ/Producer eSenTRIK has been steadily killing the game for the past few years.
