He’s the bad boy of the Amsterdam techno underground: Daniel Sanchez, 26 year old son of a Spanish father and a Dutch mother, who scored one of the biggest hits of the summer of 2007 with the infectious ‘Mumbling yeah’. Daniel’s ‘mumbling’ vocals give the track that special edge.
Tegenstellingen leiden tot de mooiste dingen, zo blijkt ook uit de samenwerking tussen disco-housemeester Hans-Peter Lindstrøm en zangeres Christabelle Sandoo, voorheen bekend als Solale.

Hertz & Vibes is a formation of two young creative guys whose real names are Patrick Hertgers and Dirk-Jan Wessels. Both grown up in the east of the Netherlands between some cows and sheep. They both played various classical instruments in their childhood like organ, piano, guitar and even the saucepans in their mother’s kitchen.
Because they both were not interested in the farmerindustry they bought two turntables and a simple mixer in 2001. From that moment on their musical trip started and if it depends on Hertz & Vibes it never ends.
During a holiday in Turkey in 2004 they got in contact with an event organizer and played on different events in Alanya (of which The Auditorium). This was a major success and resolved in some bookings during the summer of 2005. They were booked for some events in Zagreb (Croatia) and got to play with names like Marco Carola and Derrick May. Overwhelmed by the enthusiastic reactions of the crowd, they were determined to go on with it!
In the autumn of 2005 they both moved to Rotterdam to start their study. But it also gave Hertz & Vibes lots of inspiration for the sound they are playing nowadays. The electronic music adventure just started.
Their dj-sets could not be described as one sound, it’s a solid mix of house, tech- deephouse, minimal and techno driven by groovy basslines and funky percussion rhythmes. While playing they always keep in mind what time they are playing, the atmosphere they are playing in and the audience they are playing for.
In 2007 Hertz & Vibes reached the finals of the Amsterdam based TWSTD dj-contest at the famous dutch club ‘De Melkweg’. Every year, the Dommelsch TWSTd DJ Contest involves 160 promising new DJ’s who go head to head over more than 80 rounds. Reaching the finals in Hollands biggest and most respected dj-contest was again a confirmation for Hertz & Vibes to go on with their musical carreer.
In december 2007 they got the opportunity to host their own clubnight at the Catwalk in Rotterdam. From the beginning it was a huge succes which resolves in a monthly residency at this club untill now.
Nowadays Hertz & Vibes are focusing on their musical productions, which they would like to share with you as soon as possible. So stay tuned, because there is much more to come!
