Right time, right place, fresh energy. Lara Sweeney a.k.a. London-based producer, DJ and vocalist Bklava has been dishing out irresistible anthems for buzzing dancefloors since 2019, when their debut single CNTRL(a link-up with UKG figurehead and early supporter Wookie) crash-landed amid a flurry of hype for the then-emerging artist and their heady blend of garage, house, breaks and live vocals.Fusing a background in singing and songwriting with high-energy club bubblers, Bklava was named a “multifaceted, multitalented” rising star and a “quadruple threat” by the likes of Notion early on, with their 2020 self-titled debut EP for Ministry of Sound dubbed “essential lockdown listening” by Mixmag. The pandemic days could have slowed this speedy start. However, Bklava continued to connect with fans outside of physical club settings, via a Rinse FM slot and sets for the likes of The Warehouse Project, Mixmag’s The Lab LDN and BBC Radio 1’s iconic Essential Mix series.
