Objekt, the stage name of TJ Hertz, is a boundary-pushing producer and DJ renowned for his intricate and meticulously crafted approach to electronic music. Emerging from the Berlin underground scene, Objekt has distinguished himself through his production of forward-thinking techno and experimental music. With a background in computer music and sound design, his work is characterized by precision-engineered soundscapes that blend techno with elements of IDM, electro, and ambient.

Objekt's discography showcases a profound technical mastery and a penchant for the unconventional. Notable releases include his debut album "Flatland" (2014), which presented an array of complex, multidimensional tracks that defied easy categorization, and his sophomore full-length, "Cocoon Crush" (2018), which was praised for its textural depth and emotional resonance. His "Objekt" series of EPs, as well as his contributions to various compilations such as "Kern, Vol. 3 - The Exclusives" mixed by Objekt, reflect a career that is as interested in club functionality as it is in exploring the outer fringes of electronic music. Hertz is revered not just for his recorded output but also for his skill as a selector, evidenced through his dynamic DJ sets that traverse genres and eras with seamless transitions and a razor-sharp ear.
