    The Midnight Project #219

    Midnighters, this hour is for you. Last week you showed up in numbers that still make me smile, and the best way I know to say thank you is to raise the bar again. So this week we go deep into Drumcode territory. Pan-Pot's Diamonds Head sets the pace on Mobilee, then Adam Beyer takes over the first quarter of the hour twice in a row. Alto with Layton Giordani is rave kissed and written in a major key, built from the same vocal source as The Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds, and Let Loose with DJ Jock keeps that Drumcode drive rolling straight into Freak Your Mind on Truesoul. Around the halfway point, I slipped in one of my own. Retriever is my new track, named after the four-legged member of this household, and it sits between the warm groove of Chemistry by Dhuna and Pablo Say and the low-end pressure of Feel My Bass. From there, Jay Lumen and DJ Jordan push the tempo before 6 SENSE tells you exactly what to do with Say It. The final stretch goes big. Free My Soul, the brand new collaboration between Vini Vici, Space 92 and CERES on Armada, dropped only days ago and already feels like a festival closer. Psytrance energy, techno drums, one soaring vocal. I follow it with the Olly James rework of Cosmic Gate's Exploration Of Space, a classic reborn, then land the hour with Disco Move and Strange Days. The Midnight Project lands every week, same time, same place. No gaps, no reruns, over 200 episodes and counting, and a community of Midnighters that keeps growing because you share the show with people who get it. Follow on your favorite platform and the new hour just shows up. If one track in this episode moves you, tell me which one. I read everything, and that is how I build these sets.

    The Midnight Project #218

    Midnighters, last week I told you we are bringing the groove back to Ibiza. Then Friday happened. The rooftop filled up, the sun went down over Playa d'en Bossa, and a lot of you told me you came through the show. That is the whole point of this project, and episode 218 picks up exactly where that night left off. We open with Per Hammar's "Shuriken" on Natura Viva Black. Sharp, stripped, straight into the pocket. Yes, that label again. Three weeks running now they have earned a spot in the show, and this one shows why. Victor Ruiz and Kaufmann follow with "Don't Mess With Us" on VOLTA, a collaboration that sounds exactly as confident as the title suggests. The middle of the hour is where it gets physical. JLuna's "Emergency SEQ," Teenage Mutants' "Conflicted Mind," and A.D.H.S. back for the second week in a row, this time with "Eos" on DCLTD. Then Pan-Pot land "Futoreno" on Second State, and right after it comes my favorite moment of the episode: Mark Broom's remix of "Tropical Melons" by 2000 And One on Rekids. A Dutch classic, rebuilt by one of the UK's finest. I have loved this record since my Amsterdam years, and hearing it come back around like this made my week. The back half runs from the YellowHeads' peak mode "Reboot.exe" into Giorgia Angiuli's "Light" on Terminal M, the melodic breath of the hour. Ilona Maras keeps it honest with "Don't Pretend," and JSPR closes on We Are The Brave with "Japan Air." Full track IDs are on 1001Tracklists, as always. Hit reply and tell me which track hit hardest. I read everything. And if you are on the island: I am back on the rooftop next Friday for Tomorrowland Rooftop Sessions Ibiza. Same foundation as this show. Groove first, sunset into darkness, no filler. Episode 218 is your warm-up. Sebastiaan This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

    The Midnight Project #217

    Midnighters, this one is built on groove. It is late July on the island. The nights barely cool down and everything I play out here lately has that rolling, physical quality. Episode 217 came together with that in mind. We open with a KASIA double: "No Competition" with Equinøx on Arcane, then "The Realm," her Drumcode collaboration with Layton Giordani. After that it breathes. Pablo Say's "I'm a Dreamer" is the melodic moment of the hour. If you write in about one track this week, my money is on this one. Then the groove takes over. A.D.H.S. on DCLTD, RHAPSODIE's "Void," and a middle stretch with four Natura Viva Black records, the second week running the label lands that many in the show. Pig&Dan's "Aptitude" is my pick of the four. Play this section loud. Monika Kruse's "Latex" on Terminal M anchors the back half, KENZ's "Blade" brings the Drumcode peak, and JJ Mullor and Gombok Project close with "Grooveaholic." Fitting title. Full track IDs are on 1001Tracklists, as always. Hit reply and tell me which track hit hardest. I read everything. And if you are on the island this week: I am playing Friday at Tomorrowland Rooftop Sessions Ibiza. This is the music from the show, played live, open air, sunset into night. Come say hi.

    The Midnight Project #216

    Midnighters, Four Natura Viva Black records in one hour. That was not the plan when I started digging this week, but the label is on a run right now, and it shows. Daniele Papini's Hidden Source opens the show, AKKI and Kaspar hold the middle with Horizon, and DJ Dextro closes everything down with Unbalance. When one imprint bookends your whole set, you pay attention. In between, Drumcode does what Drumcode does. Rafael Cerato and Charles D bring Right Now, a track I have been hearing everywhere this summer, and Mark Reeve drops a tool called Work that is exactly that: no frills, all function. Listen also for the two Arcane cuts back to back around the halfway mark. KASIA and Shalev called their track I Like It Raw, and after Linska and Duss set it up with Criminal, raw is precisely what you get. The stretch from Sophie van Hayden's The Void into Ignacio Arfeli and Tommahawk's The Unknown is my favorite moment this week. Two titles about darkness and uncertainty, and somehow the most hypnotic ten minutes of the hour. If this episode does something for you, comment and share it with one person who needs a proper hour of techno. That is worth more to me than any algorithm.

    The Midnight Project #215

    Midnighters, We open with Achilles, fresh off the Panic release that Thomas Schumacher and A.D.H.S. dropped on Electric Ballroom last Friday. Four days old and already setting the tone for this hour: Berlin drive, no warm-up, straight in. From there it keeps rolling. Anna Reusch on Tronic, Pan-Pot with Gray Cosmo on their own Second State, and a Peak Mode mix from YellowHeads that does exactly what the name promises. Listen for the vocal in Linska's Four Four, rhys from the sticks gives the middle of this set an unexpected human moment before Norvis pulls everything back into the dark. The last twenty minutes are pure engine room. Dok & Martin's Generator on DCLTD, Rich Coote's Thunderbird, and DJ Jordan closing with a track called Big Beautiful Bass. He is not lying. The Midnight Project lands every week, same time, same place. No gaps, no reruns, over 200 episodes and counting. Follow the show on your favorite platform and you never have to think about it again, the new hour just shows up. If one track in this episode moves you, tell me which one. That is how I build these sets. Sebastiaan This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

    The Midnight Project #214

    Midnighters, Three days after the midyear special, we are back to regular programming. No looking back this time, just one hour on where techno is heading in the second half of 2026. This episode opens on Truesoul and works its way through Terminal M, Drumcode Limited, and Arcane before landing somewhere darker. Listen for the acid line in Arielle Free's Acid Love; it cuts through the middle of this mix like a knife. And Chris Avantgarde's Jester might be the most cinematic six minutes I have played all year. The closer is my own track Paws. Yes, it was in yesterday's best-of, too. It is out now, and I stand behind it, so this week it gets the last word. New episode every week. If one track in this hour moves you, tell me which one. That is how I build these sets.

  7. 4. Juli ·  Bonus

    Best of 2026 Techno (So Far)

    Midnighters, Six months into 2026, and these are the tracks that never left my bag. This is a bonus episode of The Midnight Project. One hour of the records that defined my sets in the first half of the year. Recorded in one take from the studio in Ibiza. You will hear a lot of Terminal M, Drumcode, and Arcane in this one. That was not planned; it is just where the energy lived these past six months. Monika Kruse appears twice, once with a brand new remix and once with a remastered classic that still destroys rooms 25 years after it first did. Some records earn their place in a midyear list by being new. Others earn it by refusing to age. Full disclosure: two of my own tracks made the cut, Paws and a private edit of HI-LO's REESE. Selector's privilege. Judge for yourself whether they belong. If this mix does something for you, share it with one person who needs a proper hour of techno. That is worth more to me than any algorithm. Sebastiaan This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

    The Midnight Project #213

    Midnighters, This week I've got two of my own in the mix. Transmitter sits in the middle of the hour, and Void comes in near the close. There's also a private edit I made of Rebuke's Along Came Polly, Horatio's rework. Around them, Truesoul from Selena, Drumcode from Kaufmann and Oliver Huntemann, Adam Beyer with Chris Avantgarde on Hyperreal, and Sam Paganini's label mate Belocca on Mainground. Full tracklist and streaming: https://www.1001tracklists.com/source/80bhhv/the-midnight-project/index.html Which moment catches you? Write a review in your podcast player, I read them all. Midnight never sleeps. See you next Wednesday. Sebastiaan This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
