SWAY 100 with Hertz, CJ Bolland, Cari Lekebusch, Marco Bailey


SWAY 100 marks a major milestone for us. To celebrate, we invited CJ Bolland, Cari Lekebusch and Marco Bailey, three long-standing figures in techno, to remix their favourite Hertz tracks. With over 30 years each in the scene, it’s a real pleasure to have them all contributing to SWAY. The remixes bring a strong and varied take on the originals. As a bonus, Hertz revisits Alone from the early SWAY 4 and updates it for 2026.
Back at SWAY 10, we marked the occasion with Mixes 1 & 2. Now, for SWAY 100, it feels right to continue with Mixes 3. Enjoy.

SWAY 93-99


We’ve been keeping an eye on Marck D for quite some time, and it’s a pleasure to welcome him to the SWAY family. We’ve secured one of his most treasured tracks, Love Rave, which he’s been fine-tuning for many years and which has become a true highlight in his sets. And don’t overlook the other three bangers in the package. As you know by now, we only release the very best on SWAY, and this is no exception! Marck D delivers a solid package all around. Enjoy!


Time to welcome Procombo back to SWAY after his well-received debut two years ago. This release showcases the true diversity of the artist. First up is a groovy bouncer, the kind of track that always works and will stay in your box for a long time. Next comes a high-energy cut with a driving bassline and a loud alarm going off in the break. Finally, we get a beautifully crafted chord-driven track with a clever arrangement and a subtle piano break that comes and goes. Three strong bangers. Procombo is back on SWAY!


Time to welcome Balazs_ to SWAY with his debut EP, Cmd Z. Known for his precise production and unique sonic vision, Balazs_ delivers a body of work that showcases his versatility and forward-thinking approach. With Cmd Z, he continues to push boundaries and solidifies his place on the label. Four strong tracks. Balazs_ is here to make an impact on SWAY!


Kristian is back on SWAY with a full EP of funky power tracks. He has been steadily building his career over the past two years, and his productions are stronger than ever. The tracks blend stripped-down grooves with full-on techno energy, making this a truly solid release from start to finish.


What happens when we gather four killer cuts into one EP? We get another magnificent release on SWAY. Kicking things off is Mr Coalman, who saw great success with his last EP on SWAY. This track was produced during the same session, so watch out! Kristian Heikkila & CDTRAX follow up with something truly hypnotic, adding the funky twist we love. Two debuts round out the EP, each with their own approach: Toni Alvarez delivers pure hypnosis, while ALLFIVE brings the energy. Once again, a solid Ace Trax release, not to be missed!


From the Ace Trax series last year to a full release on SWAY this year, it’s time to unleash the funky, rolling, and energetic vibe of Camilo Diaz on a full release. This one brings back the essence of the early SWAY sound: raw and powerful. Each track features a well-crafted break in the middle, lifting the energy even higher when it drops back in. Just make your selection. If you’re looking for a true hands-in-the-air moment, 3er Impacto might be the one, but honestly, any track here will do the trick. Guaranteed!


We welcome Damne with his debut EP on SWAY. Four tracks, each strong enough to stand on its own as a lead, every one an anthem in its own way. Kicking things off is a track packed with pure rave energy, followed by a cut driven by a memorable bassline melody. 1970s takes you on a journey, featuring sharp stabs, an immersive atmosphere, and a massive break. The EP closes with a melodic highlight that ties everything together. Altogether, a killer package. Make your selection and go!

Night Flight – Shake It Up – Tellus & Hertz Remixes

Carl Cox’s final track of the last millennium? A Pierre J production – Night Flight – Shake It Up. It’s 1999, the clock strikes 23:57, and Shake It Up ignites the dancefloor in Sydney as the crowd goes wild! The whole world was tuned in too, as this legendary set was broadcast on BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix. The track also made waves on Judge Jules’ and Pete Tong’s shows on BBC Radio 1 and climbed to the Top 5 of the Swedish Dance Chart.

Fast forward 25 years, and we’re celebrating this iconic release with brand-new remixes. Leading the charge is Tellus, another successful Swedish act, delivering a high-energy, peak-time remix that stays true to the original while injecting a fresh, modern sound. Hertz also joins the party with a funky, dynamic remix. Together, these updates breathe new life into Shake It Up, making it ready to dominate 2025!

2 new on Q-Records – Future Self & Özgür Can

It’s time for another debut on Q-Records: Future Self and the EP The Source by Jan Warner. A highly talented composer and producer, Warner is known for his emotive, cinematic soundscapes. Future Self is a deeply reflective and immersive musical journey, where he explores themes of introspection, transformation, and human connection. This 4-track release evokes a sense of timeless beauty while pushing the boundaries of contemporary composition. Simply stunning! We are thrilled to welcome Özgür Can and his incredible project Never Spring to Q-Records. This beautiful piece of music deserved something special, so we brought in Pierre J for a remix. He transformed it into a tight, funky house tune and also delivered a fresh extended version of the original. Özgür Can is a highly versatile producer with releases on prestigious labels like Truesoul, Cocoon and Armada Music, among others. His ever-evolving sound continues to captivate listeners and push musical boundaries. Santal Dreams to all!

Hertz-Recreate – New Wehbba and Ramon Tapia Remixes


It’s been 20 years since this techno anthem was first officially released! You hear it in DJ sets everywhere, and the reactions are still insane! To celebrate, we got Wehbba to do a massive remix, turning this classic into a full peak-time techno monster! A true masterpiece! We also included the original 12” mix. Let’s bring on another 20 years. Part 1 of 2.


The 20th anniversary of Recreate continues with Part 2 of 2. This time, it is Ramon Tapia who is paying tribute to this classic track that has been supported by virtually every techno DJ on the planet. A raw and really fat take on the track! This is also the first time Hertz himself is recreating an updated version. It still has the funky energy but with an extended break that will make the crowd go even crazier! Thanks for 20 years of support, and bring on the future!

Heini with Pierre J-Remixes

Gothenburg based DJ Heini delivers his debut release! After playing records for 40 years, since 1983, he wanted to build his own studio and create some magic. This melodic and soft debut got instant attention from Pierre J, who brought the original into a proper house-remix! Such a good feeling!

Subway Baby is also bringing his remix-magic into the package and to wrap things up, there is another track as well, Nightfall showing the diversity of Heini. Pierre J added a really nice trippy dub-remix to make the package complete.

All together a really nice debut with something in it for everyone!

ABBA – Pierre J Remix

An ABBA-remix made just for fun got an amazing feedback and attention, now with over 50.000 plays on YouTube! And no, it is not available for download anywhere. I get this question several times a day…

Unfortunately the videon disappeared today, 2 of November, due to copyright infringement that were notified by the American RIAA. My whole YouTube-channel also got a warning for copyright infringement. What can I say….?
