Ken Ishii is a true techno legend. His groundbreaking releases on R&S Records in the ’90s placed him firmly at the forefront of the scene from the very beginning. He’s also been a longtime fan of SWAY, supporting our releases and playing them out over the years, so it’s a real honor to now have him on the label.

This release features three seriously funky power techno grooves. The title track Scapegoat is instantly gripping, steadily building with clever effects and a relentless drive. Disturbance follows, equally funky, but just wait until that ultra-fat lead sound drops and takes things to the next level. We wrap it up with Prankster, a track that’s all about the bassline.

We’re proud to be a part of Ken Ishii’s journey and to welcome him to the SWAY family.

It’s time for 19-year-old Irish producer Seán Cunningham’s debut EP Rotations on SWAY! Heavily influenced by the golden era of 2000s techno, Seán delivers four club-ready tools inspired by that percussion-driven, loopy style. This marks his first official label release, showcasing his sound, with plenty more to come. We’re proud to present this artist debut on SWAY.

Heads up, Hertz returns with New Balls, the heavy-hitting follow-up to his underground weapon Timballe. Raw, tribal, and relentlessly driving, this one delivers. The wait is over, New Balls is a steady builder, locking into a hypnotic groove before dropping into a massive break that tears the roof off. This is the ultimate tribal techno anthem of the summer. As a bonus, you’ll get an extended synth mix that dives deep into the synth journey, plus a powerful DJ tool titled Beats. A sure shot for the season!

We’re excited to welcome Tom Rotzki to the SWAY family with a powerful new EP. Over the past several years, he has steadily made a name for himself in the underground electronic scene. This release features four standout tracks, each showcasing his distinctive sound. While Tom has previously released on respected techno labels such as Planet Rhythm, KD Raw, and Unity, this EP feels like something truly special.

Four different artists, four brand-new Ace Trax added to the series. Kicking things off is Slovenian talent Baly with his super-fat techno funk bomb, Tech Dailey. Next up is Fractious, delivering a no-nonsense stab-driven track that hits hard. Then we have Sean Cunningham, making his SWAY debut and giving us a taste of what’s to come, his full EP. And finally, Sascha Milde returns under his alias Lattenheim, taking us back to the early days of techno, but with a fresh, modern twist.

Once again, four massive tracks, or as we like to call them, Ace Trax!

Timballe, played by DJs across the globe, from intimate clubs to closing the main stage at Tomorrowland, is one of those rare tracks that never fails to ignite the dancefloor. Just in time for the summer season, Coyu, the head honcho of Suara, steps in with a scorching new remix, adding his signature tribal grooves to deliver a powerful twist on the original.

As a bonus, Coyu also remixes Julia, a classic Hertz track originally released in 2004, now reimagined as the Stripped Mix for 2025. Let the summer begin!

Time for the fourth instalment of Ace Trax, and what a lineup we have! First up is D-Unity, an artist we’ve been following for over 15 years—now making his SWAY debut with this high-energy track. Next, Oscar Escapa, who’s on fire right now, delivers a standout track for the Ace Trax series. Romel Johan blends breakbeat, house, and techno into one dynamic piece. And to wrap things up, Frank Jon makes his artist debut with Drones, a track that echoes the techno sound of the early 2000s. Once again, four massive tracks to enjoy!

It’s time to introduce the Safari EP! A year ago, we released MarAxe’s debut on SWAY, and it became an instant hit. Featured in Carl Cox’s playlists and on Drumcode Radio, it also reached MarAxe’s #1 spot on Beatport and Spotify – and it’s still going strong! This powerful four-track release is set to impress once again. Don’t miss out!
