From Moscow Records to MicroHertz: A New Era of Groove

Originally launched as Moscow Records in 2009, Hamilton rebranded the label as MicroHertz to better reflect his evolving musical vision. Since then, it has served as a platform for both emerging and established artists, releasing music from names like Luuk Van Dijk, Ben Rau, and Ranger Trucco, alongside Hamilton’s own productions. With a focus on quality over quantity, MicroHertz continues to push underground house and tech house in new directions while staying true to its roots.

Archie Hamilton: Defining the Sound of MicroHertz

At the heart of this movement is Archie Hamilton, one of the UK’s most respected selectors and producers. Known for his precise yet fluid approach to DJing and production, Hamilton’s style is deeply influenced by classic house, minimal, and the golden era of tech house—where groove and musicality take center stage. As a staple of the underground scene, he has built a reputation for delivering hypnotic, rolling sets that seamlessly blend energy and subtlety.

For this exclusive Beatportal Residency mix, Hamilton dives into the MicroHertz catalog, curating a selection of standout releases, deep cuts, and unreleased gems. It’s a journey through the sound of the label—tight, percussive, and undeniably dancefloor-driven.
