Ed Russell, who performs and releases music under his Tessela moniker, is a English electronic music producer whose forward-thinking songs have helped build him a solid reputation as an intelligent musician who's not afraid to take risks with his sound. Building songs with strong avant-garde leanings, Tessela's music is more experimental than club-friendly and it takes a certain type of educated listener to truly appreciate Tessela's intricate music. Rising to prominence in 2012, Tessela quickly proved his worth by releasing songs and mixes that feature lurching rhythms, maximalist bass tones and woozy atmospherics all blended together to form songs that prove to be rewarding listens.
