Some artists operate like architects, carefully drawing up blueprints before placing the first brick. Others, like Philadelphia’s Sweater, move more like alchemists—turning sweat, soul, and musical memories into something raw yet refined, something lush yet unflinchingly grounded. His productions are like dimly lit street corners where Jazz-trained fingers meet the restless pulse of underground club culture. There’s warmth in his grooves, but also a sharp edge, a knowing nod to a city that has raised some of the most forward-thinking musicians across HipHop, Soul, and Electronic Music alike.

Having spent his formative years steeped in the Jazz and R&B-soaked history of Philly, and later cutting his teeth at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in New York, Sweater crafts music that breathes with lived experience. His beats carry the ghost of smoky basement jam sessions, his basslines throb with the after-hours energy of a city that never quite sleeps, and his melodies often feel like they’ve been lifted straight from a half-remembered dream. With releases on labels like Pearled Records, Secret Society Chile, and the ever-patient Blkmarket Music (where his much-anticipated "Contact in the Zone EP" is finally about to surface), his sound moves fluidly between Breakbeat, Techno, and Deep, Hypnotic House.

But Sweater is more than just a producer shaping the musical landscape—he's an essential thread in the very fabric of Philly’s underground. Whether behind the bar slinging cocktails at a packed-out spot during an Eagles playoff run, curating gems at Impressions Philly record shop, or dropping unreleased heaters in a DJ set, he’s constantly immersed in music, living and breathing the culture that fuels his craft. His upcoming ventures include launching Sauna Records, a label where his vault of unreleased material will finally see the light of day, and continuing to sharpen his signature style—emotive, groove-driven, and always with a touch of grit.

In this interview, Sweater sits down with Torture the Artist to discuss Philly’s unsung electronic scene, the winding path that led him to underground dance music, his approach to production, and why the best tool a producer can have might just be the delete button. So pour yourself a stiff drink, listen to Lucas' art:cast, and step into the mind of one of Philadelphia’s finest. Just one questions remains:  Who really owns his favorite hoodie?
