Hand Selected - Sweater

Hand Selected is pleased to announce we are bringing out the ‘Philly Phenomenon’ AKA Sweater for his Denver debut. Blending the heart of house with breakbeat surrealism, Sweater likes to sweat. A former assistant at the famed Electric Lady Studios, his productions share his northeast edge with a thoughtful polish. 2022 saw his first 12” record with the Post Play crew sell out quickly on the Small Moves label out of Tbilisi, Georgia with support from the likes of Tini, Anna Wall, S.A.M., Giamarcco Orsini and Janeret. 2023 was filled with even more music with solo releases NYC’s Pearled Records, Chile’s Secret Society, and a Post Play release on Germany’s Novum. Sweater also co-runs the Truly You Audio label out of Philadelphia with friend and frequent collaborator DJ Dre, together producing experimental R&B tinged breakbeat. As a DJ and vinyl junkie, his quest for gems has led him to become the inventory manager for Impressions Philly, Philadelphia’s only dance music focused record shop. With his jazz piano background, audio engineering roots, and hunger for new music, his sets are non-linear trips around the underground realms. Quick, smooth, thoughtful, and g as all hell, the Philadelphia mainstay is the elected leader of Perspiration Nation. Grab a towel. You’ll need it. Denver locals- Tony Acosta needs little introduction to Denver, as he’s been opening and playing with some of the biggest names in the business, as his style and music selections mean business. Exceptional taste and will get you moving on the dance floor. We are also pleased to showcase Colin Noland. An underrated selector that surprised us with his taste and mixing skills when a chance meeting through a discogs sale connected us. Colin has a genuine passion for music and it shows when he’s on the decks. Lastly, Resident DJ and half of Hand Selected, Poten - known across the underground vinyl scene for his vast vinyl collection and technical mixing skills behind the decks. Recently played in San Francisco for Texture Summit and an all nighter in DC for Deep Dive. Hand Selected is a vinyl focused party series. Please join us for our first party. 21+ BYOB Located at an underground location. Limited capacity. Please buy tickets in advance. Much love and can’t wait to see you on the dance floor.
