Mind-bending, body-moving electronics from a true original

After a strong run of high profile line-ups throughout 2018, Finest Articles returns to Contact in late January with a booking that sets out a strong agenda for another year of forward-thinking techno. Since emerging as Objekt with a series of white-label 12”s in 2011, TJ Hertz has shone bright as one of the most inventive artists currently working in the
field of dancefloor-oriented techno and electronica. With a style that celebrates the expressive potential in cutting-edge sound design and a killer instinct for the physicality of the best club music, he’s carved out a unique identity. Beyond the dynamism of his club 12”s, Hertz has made full use of the album format for broader explorations of his craft. 2018’s Cocoon Crush found the Berlin-based producer pushing into wild, uncharted territory without ever losing the immediacy of his music. That immediacy is in part shaped by his equal proficiency as a DJ, which was borne out by winning Mixmag’s DJ Of The Year last year.
When he comes to Finest Articles you can expect the Studio X Floor to be refigured, reenergised, built up and broken down repeatedly as Hertz explores pathways through all manner of classic and modern electronic music, regardless of tempo constraints.

Street Smart, attracting the high number of audience with eminence quality will organize the Contact floor welcoming Aoki Takamasa as guest DJ.

Also, Bugoctet and other young up coming DJs will perform at Foyer floor.
