“Black Friction is a Producer, DJ and crate digger from Dortmund, Germany. He found his way into music through his good friend and DJ partner ”Thelonious Mark”. Together they form the DJ-duo ”Delicious Frequencies” and have shared the stage with the likes of the legendary SoulRabbi, Retrogott, Twit One, Acid Arab, Hade as well as Detroit legend Mike Huckaby. When it comes to Black Friction’s/Delicious Frequencies’ DJ-Sets, they fashionably move through Funk, Soul, Afro, Latin, Disco and House. You can get a taste of that by checking out their regularly published podcasts on Soundcloud. In terms of his own productions, BlackFriction keeps it smooth and relaxed for now, chopping up organic and warm samples but not shying away from using one of his synths, that contribute to his warm and chill sound.”
I was working on a lot of music over the last 2 Years, but I just couldn’t really focus on certain projects, not to mention finishing some of them. To tackle this problem, I decided to give myself a deadline of 6 Weeks to produce 6 tracks and to put them out, no matter what the outcome would be. Writing this a couple of months after finishing the EP, I’m still down with this release since it reflects my musical abilities quite well at this point in my musical journey.
