SWAY 93-99


We’ve been keeping an eye on Marck D for quite some time, and it’s a pleasure to welcome him to the SWAY family. We’ve secured one of his most treasured tracks, Love Rave, which he’s been fine-tuning for many years and which has become a true highlight in his sets. And don’t overlook the other three bangers in the package. As you know by now, we only release the very best on SWAY, and this is no exception! Marck D delivers a solid package all around. Enjoy!


Time to welcome Procombo back to SWAY after his well-received debut two years ago. This release showcases the true diversity of the artist. First up is a groovy bouncer, the kind of track that always works and will stay in your box for a long time. Next comes a high-energy cut with a driving bassline and a loud alarm going off in the break. Finally, we get a beautifully crafted chord-driven track with a clever arrangement and a subtle piano break that comes and goes. Three strong bangers. Procombo is back on SWAY!


Time to welcome Balazs_ to SWAY with his debut EP, Cmd Z. Known for his precise production and unique sonic vision, Balazs_ delivers a body of work that showcases his versatility and forward-thinking approach. With Cmd Z, he continues to push boundaries and solidifies his place on the label. Four strong tracks. Balazs_ is here to make an impact on SWAY!


Kristian is back on SWAY with a full EP of funky power tracks. He has been steadily building his career over the past two years, and his productions are stronger than ever. The tracks blend stripped-down grooves with full-on techno energy, making this a truly solid release from start to finish.


What happens when we gather four killer cuts into one EP? We get another magnificent release on SWAY. Kicking things off is Mr Coalman, who saw great success with his last EP on SWAY. This track was produced during the same session, so watch out! Kristian Heikkila & CDTRAX follow up with something truly hypnotic, adding the funky twist we love. Two debuts round out the EP, each with their own approach: Toni Alvarez delivers pure hypnosis, while ALLFIVE brings the energy. Once again, a solid Ace Trax release, not to be missed!


From the Ace Trax series last year to a full release on SWAY this year, it’s time to unleash the funky, rolling, and energetic vibe of Camilo Diaz on a full release. This one brings back the essence of the early SWAY sound: raw and powerful. Each track features a well-crafted break in the middle, lifting the energy even higher when it drops back in. Just make your selection. If you’re looking for a true hands-in-the-air moment, 3er Impacto might be the one, but honestly, any track here will do the trick. Guaranteed!


We welcome Damne with his debut EP on SWAY. Four tracks, each strong enough to stand on its own as a lead, every one an anthem in its own way. Kicking things off is a track packed with pure rave energy, followed by a cut driven by a memorable bassline melody. 1970s takes you on a journey, featuring sharp stabs, an immersive atmosphere, and a massive break. The EP closes with a melodic highlight that ties everything together. Altogether, a killer package. Make your selection and go!

Uncertain needs no introduction, he’s been topping the charts for years. But this release actually marks his debut on SWAY. Twenty years ago, we dropped records under his former alias Boriqua Tribez on our other label, Hz Trax.

Hertz – Maverick


The first SWAY release of the year comes from label boss Hertz himself. This three-track package showcases the full diversity of his production style. The title track Maverick takes you on an emotional journey, with a goosebump-inducing breakdown that blooms into a stunning string section before lifting off again with a powerful new bassline. To round things out, we’re adding two more funky cuts to the mix. Bass De Abrao is all about driving bass and a playful, groove-packed arrangement, while the final track leans into a more minimal vibe — but still hits with big, bold sounds. 2026, bring it on!
