It’s been a steady flow of Hertz releases lately, and the support from fans and DJs has never been greater! The time has finally come to drop Darklove, a track that’s been fine-tuned over four years, and one that’s been tearing up dancefloors in every Hertz set. Next up is Sweat, another high-impact weapon packed with energy: a raw synth line combined with a perfectly placed vocal snippet that does the trick. Finally, Beat Bunker delivers a fat, haunting bassline to close things out. Another strong EP coming your way from your favourite techno label, SWAY.

We’re excited to welcome Atlanthes with their debut release on SWAY.
This solid four-tracker highlights the full range of their production skills, from driving grooves to deeper, more atmospheric moments. Each track is packed with energy and clever arrangements that keep the momentum alive and the listener hooked all the way through. A release that works both on the dance floor and in your headphones. Just pick your favourites and let yourself get carried away by the vibe!

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. Now he’s back with four powerful tracks in his unmistakable style, full of raw energy and perfectly in tune with the SWAY vibe. A guaranteed sure shot!

Oh yes, it’s time for another Ace Trax! This compilation EP delivers four outstanding tracks. We’re excited to welcome debutants Ian Carpenter & Daddy Russell with their explosive banger Savage. Also making his debut is Freire, bringing Beija Flor, a haunting synth-driven cut with a wicked broken-beat groove. Rounding out the EP, we have a groovy gem from Hollen and another strong track from Atlanthes. What can we say? Pure top-tier stuff!

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!
