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?

Barcelona-based artist Tunik, is a true master of synth-based music. So much so that the Argentinian is often one of the first artists that springs to mind when in need of a large dose of darkness. His productions and DJ sets speak to a higher power that sees his performances at the likes of Les Enfants Brillants, OUTPUT, and Razzmattaz in his adopted Barcelona, as well as a regular slew of the finest parties around the world. 

Being an in-demand artist doesn't stop Tunik from pursuing his own vision of electronic music. This was born in the shape of the Synth City project, and what followed was an evocative series of events at LEB. We are yet to even mention Tunik’s productions that only appear on labels that are at the vanguard of the underground. His longstanding connection to Dekmantel speaks volumes of the progression of his sound, as does his EP’s for Nicolas Lutz’ My Own Jupiter imprint and Further Electronix.

Tunik is without doubt a true force to be reckoned and we are thrilled to welcome him to our InSession podcast series. A self-confessed genre hopper, we are guided through a cosmic selection that all share an unspoken connection through the ethereal. Lush soundscapes soon give way to enticing breakbeats, mystic synths, and an unwavering groove that is as relentless as his own journey deep into the farthest reaches of his record bag. A sonic trip to truly induce a disconnect, we are certain that after one listen, you will be seeking out the Argentinian wherever possible.

Petit raton du Sud qui se cache entre les nuages parisiens. Gaspard c’est un des mecs les plus deter qu’on connaisse, c’est un giga sang, mais surtout, c’est un énorme rat.
Grand footballeur, il jongle aisément entre son collectif Free Mousse, son taf chez kma, et d’autres projets annexes, tout ça malgré son handicap orthographique ! En vrai, on vous conseille surtout de checker le Free Mousse Festival qu’il est en train d’organiser : le spot sera fou, et le line up aussi, dont pas mal de têtes marseillaises que vous connaissez déjà bien.
Bref, vous l’aurez compris, ce mec aime vraiment bien la mousse. La légende dit qu’un jour il reviendra passer quelques jours dans le Sud, mais bon, d’ici là on se contente de son merveilleux podcast.

C’est vraiment quali, on espère que ça va vous plaire.

Bonne écoute,

Stay Ratz 🐀
