Break An Entry @ Respekt Recordings
February 1st, 2012

Hertz latest release “Break An Entry” on Respekt Recordings got great support from Marco Bailey, Sasha Carassi and Slam to name a few.
“The infamous Hertz are back on Respekt with the intense “Break An Entry”, and once again live up to their reputation of high-octane production.Furiously taking off, the original mix engulfs you with a bubbling subsonic bassline and some tasty looping dissonance. Sharp riffage and carefully placed risers keep the momentum at an all-time high. Mikael Jonasson takes the subliminal approach with subtle synth stabs and tightly programmed hats. The sound of the apocalypse still looms above however, as the riffs mutate and rise to the dark occasion.”

Best Of Underwater featuring Hertz – A Voice Of My Own
September 12th, 2011

The legendary Underwater Records celebrates 100 releases and more with a collection of its finest moments. Founded by Darren Emerson in 1994, originally as an output for himself and the artists he met along his travels, Underwater grew to become one of the most influential dance labels of the early noughties. Responsible for numerous worldwide hits such as Tim Deluxe – ‘It Just Wont Do’, Gus Gus – ‘David’ and many more, the list of producers on Underwater is impressive. The brand was responsible for four infamous Ibiza seasons at Pacha as well as 7 years at The End club in London. The culmination of the Underwater Records story in 2003 saw the label win the label of the year award in DJ Magazine.
Albums from Tim Deluxe, Gus Gus, Mutiny, Pnau, Sharam Jey, Magik Johnson and singles by Arthur Baker, D. Ramirez, Paul Woolford, Joel Mull, Smith & Selway, Paul Jackson and so many more are a testimony to how much quality has seen the light of day through the label. This compilation offers some of the seminal hits in never released before single and radio edit format on CD 1 and a mixed selection from Underwater recording artist Jamie McHugh of underground material released over the years.

Shockz (Umek Remix) & Once Again (Hertz Remix)
July 19th, 2011

1605 has just released their second volume of remixes. The label boss, Umek himself, was very specific with his choice of track he wanted to remix. Of all the tracks he has released on 1605 it was Hertz’s “Shockz” that he wanted to put his trademark on. Hertz has given Da Fresh’s no.1 track “Once Again” the same treatment.
“It’s been another fantastic season for us here at 1605, with releases spanning all across the Techno and Tech House board. So what better way to celebrate a prolific year than with a remix pack of some of our hottest tracks?
As always, there’s a plethora to choose from, whether it’s Umek’s interpretation of Hertz’s “Shockz” or Da Fresh’s rendition of Marco Bailey & Tom Hades’ “Tenien”.
Covering all bases, from groovy Tech House to rumbling Techno, this collection gives yet another perspective on the sounds that shaped our listening pleasure.”
