Another white label, Objekt #2, made an appearance a couple of months afterwards, once again crossing the limitations between techno and dubstep, while also piquing curiosity from Hessle Sound. Cactus/Porcupine was Hertz’s just record in 2012, even though the discharge was praised, he accepted it had been a pastiche from the dubstep audio that acquired become prominent in the picture. Taking time to target and write brand-new material, Hertz came back in 2013 with another white label, Objekt #3. The name monitor, “Agnes Demise,” brought a brand new fresh twist on his sound, channeling Aphex Twin and Autechre through moody techno.
