    The Midnight Project invites Fabio Salvati

    Welcome to a special invite, Midnighters!
    This Saturday on The Midnight Project, we’re treated to an exceptional session crafted by the ingenious Fabio Salvati, a name that resonates with innovation and depth in the techno world. As the night unfolds, let's immerse ourselves in an hour where each beat and every transition tells a story—a narrative spun from the threads of Fabio’s musical loom.
    In the dim glow of our preferred listening havens, where the familiar hum of anticipation builds, picture Fabio in the studio, his hands orchestrating a symphony of synths and drum machines. With a master’s touch, he blends sounds and emotions, crafting a tapestry that moves beyond mere rhythm into something almost tangible.
    This guest mix isn’t just another sequence of tracks; it’s a voyage Fabio invites us on, a preview of his creative evolution marked by an upcoming trio of releases on Redesign Records. Imagine the scenes each track paints: from the adrenaline-infused pulses of "Shaked", which could almost make you feel the ground quake beneath your feet, to the haunting echoes of "Valak", where each note adds a shade to its dark, compelling lore. Then, there’s "Basiliscus," a track with rhythms that slither and slide, encapsulating the mythic and the modern in one fluid motion.
    As Midnighters, we're not just listeners; we’re participants in a global club, each beat a heartbeat that connects us across the unseen digital dancefloors of the world. Fabio Salvati doesn’t just play music for us; he invites us into his world, giving us front-row seats to the unfolding drama of his artistic expression. And tonight, with every track meticulously chosen and mixed, we get to share these moments of creation and revelation.
    Enjoy the journey and Midnighters, and remember—each mix is a doorway, and tonight, it opens into the extraordinary world of Fabio Salvati. Let’s step through it together.
    Stay healthy,
    Sebastiaan Hooft

    We are again on another magnificent Wednesday morning, welcoming a new episode of The Midnight Project. As we dive into this week's auditory journey, I'm thrilled to share insights on some tracks shaping our techno landscape this week.
    First, the remix magic in "New Generation" by Layton Giordani, remixed by Space 92, sets a dynamic tone right from the start. Space 92, known for his pulsating beats and cosmic soundscapes, transforms the original track into a mesmerizing dance floor anthem. This remix isn't just a track; it's an odyssey through the depths of techno, showcasing Space 92's ability to elevate energy levels to their peak.
    Then, we journeyed with Rich Coote's "Missile," a standout original mix that thrums with an unrelenting force. Rich's style, characterized by its precision and power, delivers a raw, unfiltered experience that captures the essence of techno's pulsating heart. The track's robust and commanding vibes make it an unforgettable part of our week's set.
    And, not to forget, DJ Panda's "Xolution." This track is a testament to DJ Panda's innovative approach to techno, blending traditional rhythms with futuristic sounds to create something unique for our ears.

    Today, I want to explore some incredible talents shaping our playlist this week. We're all about exploring the stories behind the music and the artists, diving into their worlds, and understanding what drives their creativity.
    We started with Rebūke's dynamic approach to techno through his extended remix of deadmau5's "Not Exactly" Rebūke infuses classic tracks with his unique energy and vision. His remix brings a fresh vibe to a beloved track, ensuring it resonates with new listeners and long-time fans.
    Midway through the show, you heard my take on "Eternum" by Slim Black. This remix showcases a fusion of deep, driving basslines and atmospheric synths, a signature of my personal touch in music. It's about connecting with the soul of the original and enhancing it with a depth that complements the hypnotic essence of techno.
    Closing the episode, Ida Engberg applied her rhythmic prowess and melodic intuition to Azzecca's "I've Been Waiting." A stalwart in the techno scene, her remix is both introspective and invigorating, encapsulating the spirit of the original while elevating it to new heights.
    I'd love to hear which track resonated with you the most. Drop a comment with your favorite or recommend an artist you'd like to hear in a future show. Let's keep building this community, sharing the love for music, and making every Midnighter feel right at home.

    The Midnight Project #097

    Midnighters, we're back with another electrifying episode of The Midnight Project, igniting your Wednesday morning with beats that resonate deep into the soul. This week, we've curated an exceptional lineup that will elevate your spirits, perfect for your morning rituals or a late-night drive. As always, for those eager to dive deeper into the specifics, the full tracklist awaits at 1001 Tracklists.
    Diving into this week's selection, we spotlight a trio of tracks that not only define the current techno landscape but also showcase the diverse backgrounds of their creators. First, we have "333" by Horatio & Vikthor, a track that embodies the raw energy and intricate soundscapes these artists are known for. Horatio, hailing from Romania, brings his unique blend of rhythms infused with the cultural depth of Eastern Europe. At the same time, Vikthor adds his Italian flair for melody and progression, making "333" a captivating journey from start to finish.
    Then, we shift gears to my own creation, "Transmitter." This track is a personal journey into the realms of sound that I've been exploring, aiming to connect with each of you on a deeper level. The process behind "Transmitter" was all about capturing the essence of late-night drives and introspective moments wrapped in a melody that speaks without words.
    Lastly, "Neapolis" by Stephan Barbieri takes us on a mesmerizing trip to the heart of techno's evolution. Stephan, a wizard crafting atmospheric layers, draws inspiration from his Neapolitan roots, embedding Naples' vibrant spirit and historical richness into every beat. "Neapolis" is a testament to Stephan's skill in merging traditional sounds with futuristic rhythms, creating a nostalgic and refreshingly new track.
    As we journey through these tracks and more, I invite you to become an integral part of The Midnight Project. Subscribe to the show, share the love with fellow techno enthusiasts, and become a Midnighter, if you haven't already done so. I'm always looking for new sounds and artists to feature, so drop your favorite track from this week's show or suggest an artist you'd love to hear in an upcoming episode.
    Stay connected, and let the power of techno carry you through the week.
