Every exit is an entrance to somewhere else...
Phys Ed Presents: OBJEKT Live at Neck of the woods
Saturday March 29th
10pm - 4am
An incomparable force and vision of the future, Objekt proves time and time again to define the modern limits of dance music, continually twisting technology to speak with the vitality of the human spirit.
Come Saturday March 29th he joins the Phys Ed crew to deliver an eccentric vision of the future.
Objekt is TJ Hertz, a producer and DJ living in Berlin. Born in Tokyo to British-American and Filipino parents, Hertz grew up in Belgium and the UK before settling in Berlin in 2009. He first became known for head-turning club records, beginning with the self-released stamped whitelabel 12”s Objekt #1 and #2 in 2011, and following these up with a remix for Radiohead and releases
on influential dance music labels such as Hessle Audio. Shocking out to the disassembled dubstep contortions of Cactus and “Unglued”, the juddering mindmelt of Agnes Demise, or IDM headturner “Ganzfeld” became a familiar experience for a generation of clubgoers.
In parallel, Objekt has built a reputation as one of the must-see DJs of his generation. Selected as Mixmag’s DJ of the Year in 2018, he thrives in festival tents and sweatbox basements alike.
His DJing style is equal parts wild and laser-focused, making full use of technique and technology to surprise and entertain, while paying little heed to genre or BPM and feeding off spontaneity
and crowd connection.
Hertz’s DJing is also unpredictable: one night he might duck and dive through half a dozen genres in
pursuit of an unhinged party atmosphere (especially if he’s playing b2b with his dear friend and partner in crime, Call Super).
Another night he might guide you by the hand through a terrifying psychedelic wormhole of self-discovery. It’s these qualities thatmake his recorded sets so beloved – from his 2020 Essential Mix, to the widely-shared recording of his 8-hour set at New York clubbing institution Nowadays in 2021, to his 2016 mix CD for Berlin techno institution Tresor, Kern Vol. 3, which was described by
Resident Advisor as “a window into the very essence of DJing”.
