A brand-new EP from Hertz, featuring the track “Grisch,” which has been fine-tuned and perfected since 2021. At last, the perfect balance is here! This track has consistently proven its success every time it’s been unleashed on the dance floor. “Legendary” is one of those funky, essential tools every techno DJ searches for during a set. And then there’s “Barking,” a rolling bassline topped with a finely tweaked stab. This marks Hertz’s first EP of 2025 – get ready!

This is the first release in the “Ace Trax” series, where we bring together some of the best unreleased gems we’ve discovered from each artist. Expect solid, funky techno, just as you’d anticipate from SWAY. These artists have previously graced labels such as Planet Rhythm, Terminal M, Drumcode, Yin Yang, Bush, Innervisions, Armada, Ovum, and AnalyticTrail, among others. For this debut, we’ve curated a diverse selection of styles to give you a taste of what the “Ace Trax” series is all about. Ace Trax Volume 1 has arrived!

It’s great to welcome Umek back to SWAY under his alias Polyvinyl. The energy level is at its peak, kicking off with “Somber Tone”, which sets the standard for how massive a bass sound can be. There’s also an instrumental Hertz edit as an option. The second track, “True Nature”, is a stunning groover, showcasing Umek’s ability to master the Recycled Loops flavour that made him so popular over 20 years ago. These two amazing tracks perfectly blend old-school vibes with a 2025 twist.

Pagano drops a funky debut on SWAY, delivering three brand-new bombs to the menu. The first track flirts with a disco touch and gets an extra boost from a Hertz Remix. The other two tracks are equally solid. Pagano’s productions are a perfect fusion of classic techno and contemporary flair, captivating audiences with their relentless energy, and this release is no exception. Whether you’re on the dancefloor or listening at home, Pagano’s sound delivers a high-octane experience every time. Techno lovers, brace yourselves!

Three updates from the Don, transforming tracks into funky 2.0 versions.

Alongside the original 1998 mix, it also features a fresh 2.0 update. Techno for the win!

DJ Dextro needs no introduction to anyone who has been into techno over the past 15 years. With releases on numerous labels like Tronic, CLR, Suara, and Planet Rhythm, just to name a few, his sound is always on point! Now, it’s time for his SWAY debut, and it’s an exciting package.

The three original tracks range from raw and hypnotic to deeply emotional pieces of techno. For remix duties, we have Slovenian artist Veztax, bringing an old-school vibe to the table, and Swedish artist MarAxe, delivering his harder sound that has become so popular. Don’t miss his Dark Dub!

A really strong new Hertz-release on SWAY with a broad variation in styles. It kicks of with Barracuda, the rawest baseline of the year. Next up “The Badman”, almost a follow up to the number 1 selling single “Timballe” and then “Like Everybody Else” a familiar Hertz rocket! We have legendary Jam El Mar (Jam & Spoon and many other aliases) on the remix that gives Barracuda a full peak time techno treatment. We sum things up with a really deep version of the Barracuda. A very mixed record indeed, with a little something for everyone!

Finally remixes and vocal versions on the single that been Number 1 on Beatport Techno Sales Chart for over 4 months (Top 10 for over half a year). You heard it in sets from Armin Van Buuren, HI-LO, Joris Voorn, ANNA, Lilly Palmer, Wehbba, Pan-Pot, Filterheadz, Drunken Kong to name a few and countless of sets within the techno community. A true crossover record with a break that makes the dance floor go crazy! We have Pierre J on the remix that takes this techno monster into a house vibe with a touch of latin. Pure summer fire! Subway Baby add another house-flavour into the game. And then a brand new Festival Version, based on the original techno version, that is adding both the vocals and have more focus on the newly extended breaks to get even more madness. A true summer anthem!
