Hertz – Live In My Room 1987 – Video
October 16th, 2017
Next old tune in line, released on the new SWAY-30-EP is this “Live In My Room 1987”. Not only did I record it on my cassette-recorder, but also as a video. My father filmed this jam, just for fun.
Back in 1987 I was 15 years old and owned the 3 keyboards/synths, the white drum machine and black sequencer you can see on top of the cassette-recorde. The mixing desk, tape machine and the other drum machine was borrowed.
To own your own studio back then, was totally out of reach for me. I think I saved and spent around 600 € for all the stuff I owned. But kept on buying some new gear as soon as I had some new savings. I’m happy to have this on video, as having a video-recorder at home was very rare 1987.
Hertz 1985
October 15th, 2017
On SWAY 29, there is a song called “Look What I Did 1985”, and it’s exactly what it is. I’ve created electronic music since 1984 when I was 11-12 years old.
When I went thru my library, I found some bits and pieces and I thought it could be fun to share them for the first time. This was created with a Roland TR-606 and recorded on to a cassette-recorder. This story will continue…

Story #8 – Nice Meeting You Mr Tenaglia
June 19th, 2013
Summer 2008 and I (Pierre J, represented as Hertz) were down playing as a DJ at Rabac Summer Festival in Croatia. This was a really good event with maybe 4000 people, dancing on a beautiful beach. After I played my set, I went over to the other stage to say hello to Danny Tenaglia who was still playing. He had just added “Hertz-Big Bang” to his new compilation “Futurism” and I thought it was a good timing to meet him for the first time. I went up there but the guards wouldn’t let me anywhere near him. I told the story that was also an artist playing on the same event and after 10 minutes, the guard went up asking him if I was aloud on stage.
He welcomed me with open arms and we talked for maybe 15 minutes about music and memories. He also played “Big Bang” just there with me on stage. I offered him to visit me in Sweden any day. The music done on this release was inspired of what I heard and felt. It was easy to name the new tracks on Abyss; “Nice Meeting You Mr Tenaglia” and “The Offer Still Stands”.
“The Offer Still Stands” is included on “Abyss Records – The Catalogue – Remaster 2013”
Abyss Rec – The Catalogue – Remaster 2013 – Out now
June 17th, 2013
It started out as a deeper sister-label to Q-Records and found its own identity quickly. Carl Cox stated after 8 releases; “For me you guys haven’t released a bad Abyss yet! Abyss and Q are my favorite labels. Well done” And with supperters like Carl Cox, Adam Beyer, James Holden, Dubfire, Dave Clarke and Mauro Picotto to name a few, the label has been popular for many years now.
On this 2013-remastered compilation “Abyss Records-The Catalogue”, you’ll find some of the classic tracks.
