.. Essence In philosophy, essence is the attribute (or set of attributes) that make an object or substance what it fundamentally is, and that it has necessary, in contrast with accident, properties that the object or substance has contingently and without which the substance could have existed. The notion of essence has acquired many slightly but importantly different shades of meaning throughout the history of philosophy; most of them derive from its use by Aristotle and its evolution within the scholastic tradition. Born and raised in Gdynia in 1983, Artur got his interest in techno culture very early and consequently started attending club parties at the tender age of 14. Soon afterwards, he bought his first records and some time later appeared for the first time in front of club audience. In spite of being devoted to techno - from harsh industrial sounds of UK Techno (Surgeon, Ruskin, Slater) via Berlin dub (Chain Reaction), Motown classics (Pullen, Hood, Mills) to modern Berghain-esque sound - he remains inspired by variety of other genres: ranging from modern classical via IDM, industrial and post-rock experiments to house, disco and modern garage/bass music, all of which leave their mark in his dj sets. Since 2004, Essence has been active as a promoter, running gigs in a few clubs in 3City (most notably, Sfinks/Sfinks 700, Mandragora, Stereo, GGOG) and Warsaw (m25, 1500 m2, Nowa Jerozolima, 55).
