Following contributions by DJ Deep and DJ Hell, Tresor Records are set to present the third instalment in their Kern mix-series, this time headed by Berlin-based producer TJ Hertz (a.k.a Objekt), his first release following his 2014 debut album Flatland for PAN. In keeping with the series mission of showcasing a more personal approach to mixing, Hertz describes his process as such:

“Kern Vol. 3 is made up of tracks that I know I will play and love for years to come. Some of these records have been in my bag for years; others are almost as new to me as they are to you. A handful are by lesser known artists whom I admire and who I think deserve wider recognition. Planned, recorded, embellished, reworked, tweaked and chiselled away at over a period of six months, the mix was gradually carved out in a way that makes use of new and old techniques alike, presenting itself primarily as a DJ mix but settling in a sweet spot between live recording and studio trickery. The tracklist spans styles, decades and BPMs in an attempt to craft a mix that’s unpredictable and compelling in equal measure–one that draws from the more adventurous corners of my club sets, but above all, one that’s a pleasure to listen to.”

Kern Vol. 3 will be released on Tresor Records on July 8. In usual form the mix CD will be accompanied by two 12″s comprising the exclusives and rarities.
