Album lore

ESSA, issued in April 2016 on PM7, is a brief but telling document from BBX and Jacek Stachursky, two figures enmeshed in the disco polo sphere. The release consists of just two tracks, with the Radio Mix of "ESSA" standing as its focal point. Disco polo, a genre rooted in Polish dance halls and celebrations, is distilled here into a concise artifact that captures the genre’s straightforward rhythms and melodic insistence without embellishment.While the record’s footprint on streaming platforms—over 40,000 scrobbles from approximately 7,600 listeners—marks it as a modest signal in the wider canon, ESSA serves as a marker of the ongoing vitality of disco polo in the mid-2010s. The PM7 label, known for its steady output in this style, provides a fitting home for this snapshot, which offers crate-diggers a chance to trace the genre’s persistence beyond its 1990s origins.
