SWAY 79-80

We welcome Mr Coalman to SWAY with this debut release. It’s a solid 4-tracker packed with atmosphere and vibe. Deep, yet maintaining drive and energy throughout. Each track is crafted with precision, showcasing his unique touch on hypnotic techno. A powerful debut from start to finish.


Kristian Heikkilä is back on SWAY, this time together with CDTRAX. They’ve put together a very compelling package of four tracks that each take you in a different direction. The title track, “Ascend,” is a rare piece of raw, deep, and truly hypnotic techno. The three following tracks bring a groovier touch, bass-heavy, with hook lines in all the right places. A strong release from start to finish. Check it out!

Hertz – Fat Fingers


Hertz lays down his fattest finger on the synths and delivers an absolutely killer bassline. Combined with his signature funky techno grooves, the result is a seriously infectious track. Next up is 1979, built around a sample straight from that iconic year. Pure funky techno tool vibes from start to finish. And finally, a track that was born mid-air, somewhere between Paris and Lisbon. A funky piano stab, tribal rhythms, and dub sirens! What could possibly go wrong?

SWAY 76-77


It’s time for a full EP debut from Melvin Spix on SWAY. After his celebrated appearance on Ace Trax, we knew we had to hear more. Now he’s back with a full-force release, topped off with a powerful remix from Agent Orange DJ. Late Night Rave delivers peak-time energy, raw groove, and relentless drive. Don’t miss it.


Exactly one year after his powerful debut on SWAY, Italian techno heavyweight Hollen is back with a brand new release. Over the past 12 months, Hollen has been on a creative tear, dropping wicked tracks. We’re proud to welcome him back to the label, stream/download now and experience the next chapter.

Umek & Hertz – Ivory


Umek & Hertz join forces on SWAY to deliver a true anthem. Featuring a captivating piano and string arrangement, this track stands out as something truly special. Already gaining massive support and playtime from top DJs around the globe. It might just be the tune of the summer! Don’t overlook the B-side, “Do It”, a high-energy cut driven by a rolling bassline that keeps the momentum going strong. A top-tier release from start to finish.

SWAY 73-74


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.

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!
