Hertz – New Balls


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!

SWAY 70-71


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!

Hertz – Timballe (Coyu Remix)


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!

SWAY 67-68


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!

Hertz – Lucky 13 Remixes


The best-selling vinyl in SWAY history, Lucky 13, was released 20 years ago. Now, it’s time to give this true classic a 2025 twist. First up is the Hertz 2025 Update, staying true to many of the iconic samples. Next, John H joins forces with Benkt (formerly known as M.E.E.O), delivering a hard-hitting, punchy remix. And to top it off, we close the release with the Adam Beyer Remix. What could possibly go wrong? Let’s celebrate 20 years of Lucky 13 in style!

Hertz & Wehbba – Ink


The long-awaited collab release is finally here! Ever since they first shared a few clips online almost two years ago, fans have been eagerly waiting and asking for it. With their long and storied careers, neither of these artists needs an introduction. This release features three tracks that showcase the diverse styles of Wehbba and Hertz while staying true to their signature funky techno sound—exactly what you’d expect from a release on SWAY.
