Sweater - Contact In The Zone EP - Blkmarket Music 
[Blkmusic 014 - 15TH RELEASE]
 
BLKMARKET MUSIC announces the 15th release. Philadelphia’s Sweater makes his first appearance on the label with ’Contact In the Zone.’

We met Sweater (Lucas) in Philadelphia during the summer of 2021 when Taimur was there for a weekend for a Blkmarket x Subsurface warehouse party. We exchanged contacts during the trip and he had mentioned he had a bunch of unreleased music to check out. 

His productions caught our ears immediately and are in a league of it’s own. 

We knew it right away it was fitting for our label. 

Lucas is also a wicked DJ, and a record clerk at Impressions Philly record shop.

We are excited to share this new release with the world. 

A five track 12” spanning the realms of Breakbeat, Techno and Tech-house.

“A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into the wondrous land of imagination”

Founded as an open music project based in a home studio: when Martin and I lived together in a shared apartment in Stuttgart East, the basis was the space and the desire and opportunity to make music together, to provide and create a place where everyone is welcome and can be themselves, as long as the common goal remains the same, namely to create and capture something musical without any pressure or expectations. To be free and exchange ideas and create and express something, openly and freely, no matter what.
