Hey Midnighters,

Sebastiaan here. This weekend, we're stepping into a unique musical realm with a special bonus episode featuring the legendary Roger Lavelle. As many of you know, my journey in The Midnight Project has always been about exploring the depths and diversities of techno, and Roger's contribution to this genre is something I've admired for years.

Hailing from the vibrant heart of Switzerland's electronic music scene, Roger has been a beacon of innovation and excellence for over 25 years. His journey from trance to techno is a tale of evolution and passion. I've always been fascinated by how he crafts his sets – they're more than just music; they're narratives that speak to the soul, journeys that capture the essence of techno.

This special episode is a testament to Roger's mastery. His work with labels like IAMT and Phobiq showcases his ability to create tracks that aren't just meant for the club but are experiences. Expect a mix that resonates with the spirit of The Midnight Project – a mix where nostalgia meets the future of techno.

So, get ready to immerse yourself in a sound that's both familiar and thrillingly new. Let's celebrate the weekend with Roger Lavelle's exclusive set that promises to be a memorable part of our collective journey in techno. 

Keep the vibes high and the beats loud!

Cheers,

Sebastiaan Hooft

Hey Midnighters!

Episode #119 of The Midnight Project has arrived, and it’s filled with nothing but pure, driving techno energy. We kick things off with Førehand & Ozgun’s “Opera Rave,” a track that delivers high-octane rave intensity while weaving in atmospheric melodies. These producers make their mark with a unique sound that evolves with each release.

Next, Shay De Castro delivers “Saints of Sunset Blvd,” showcasing her signature dark and relentless sound. Shay has become a staple in the techno scene, always pushing boundaries with her hypnotic and immersive productions. This track perfectly captures the raw energy she brings to the table.

And we can't forget *Marie Vaunt*, who teams up with *Spektre* for "Darkest Hour." Marie is known for her deeply atmospheric, sinister soundscapes; this track fully embodies that style. It’s one of those tracks that grabs you and doesn’t let go, keeping you locked into its pulsating rhythms—a highlight.

Also, *May Larke’s* remix of Horatio & Folual's "Chosen" brings a deep and resonant take on the original, showing her skill in crafting intricate layers of sound that draw you in.

Midnighters!

Proud to welcome Emison to The Midnight Project.

I’ve been keeping an eye on his sound for a while now — raw, hypnotic, and straight from the underground. When we connected on our track, Demonic, it clicked immediately. He’s got that rare instinct for tension and groove that drives a dancefloor without letting go.

This guest mix is precisely that: no filler, just full-pressure techno—a glimpse into the world of a Sicilian artist who lives and breathes the club.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting this collaboration together.

More to come.

Hey Midnighters,

It’s Sebastiaan. Welcome to Episode 166 of The Midnight Project.

This week’s mix is built for the ones who go all in. We end on a hard note, full throttle, no apologies. If you’ve ever pushed through the night chasing focus, release, or just a moment of truth, this one’s for you.

Techno isn't just a sound. It’s how we move through the world. It fuels our mornings, powers our workouts, clears our heads. Whether you’re tuning in before sunrise or deep into your own flow, this episode is meant to lock you in and carry you forward.

Somewhere in the middle, you’ll catch a VIP edit of High Society – something I’ve been playing out to test limits. It's not about hype; it’s about being fully present, even when everything gets loud.

Also, Redesign Records is officially live in its new form. The full label site just launched with all releases up now. You can check it out at:
👉 https://redesignrecords.com
That includes my collab Let’s Go with Laybe & Bruno Power, and there’s more on the way. This label is built to support the next wave. If you're creating, I’m listening.

Here’s the full tracklist from this week’s show:

See you next Wednesday.

Much love,

The Midnight Project 166

Hey Midnighters,

What a ride Episode 167 was. From the first kick of Rise Above by Jam El Mar and SUDO to the last pulse of Escape From Reality by Patrick Scuro and Felix Kruell, the energy was pure fire. I can still feel the bass in my bones, and I hope you can too.

This week’s mix was built to keep you moving, whether you’re running through city streets, losing yourself under the lights, or just zoning out with your headphones. Every track is a step deeper into the heart of our sound, with massive moments from Bart Skils, Paul Kalkbrenner, and Maddix alongside fresh underground talent.

The beat doesn’t stop here. Next week, I have fresh exclusives lined up, tracks you will not hear anywhere else first. Keep your calendars marked for Wednesday, 6 AM (CET), and if you missed a moment, you can always catch the full playlist here:

The Midnight Project #168

Hey Midnighters,

169 is a deep dive into the underground. This week’s mix is designed for focus, momentum, and that steady push forward. Whether you’re running, working, or just taking a moment to reset. It’s about tuning in to the energy that keeps you sharp and moving with purpose.

Next month I’ll be in Turin, spending two days in the studio working with producers on new music. Then in October, it’s Amsterdam Dance Event. I’ll be there to connect with producers and labels, building the next phase of The Midnight Project from the inside. These quiet, behind-the-scenes moments often lead to the loudest breakthroughs.

This episode features standout tracks from Jay Lumen, Lisa May, and the powerful pairing of Mark Reeve and Joyhauser. I also want to spotlight Ken Ishii. A true innovator from Japan, Ken has been shaping techno since the early nineties with a sound that still feels futuristic. His presence in this mix is a reminder of how deep and global our scene really is.

The Midnight Project #169

Hey Midnighters,

Welcome to Episode 170 of The Midnight Project. This week’s show is pure momentum. No detours, just full-speed techno from the first kick to the last fade-out. I’ve packed in a sharp, high-octane ride with a blend of heavyweight names and underground killers that’ll leave you breathless and inspired.

We open with Sisko Electrofanatik’s Distorted Reality, a gritty statement of intent, and ride straight into a monster collaboration from Joyhauser and Space 92. You’ll also hear absolute fire from Coyu, Mha Iri, and a stomping remix of Push Me by Teenage Mutants. There’s a premiere you won't want to miss from Job Nelis, and a stunning twist on *Higher* by GusGus & Vok, reimagined by METODI.

Three standouts this week on IAMT Music Group alone, including a burner from Nelayan and the darkly hypnotic Pulse by NTMTR. Plus, ADRIANNA’s Antiheroes is here to shake the walls, and we close with a bold rework. Gregor Larsen's Pjanoo 2025 sends us into orbit.

Don’t just listen. Dive into the full experience. Every track, every build, every drop is waiting for you here:

People of Tomorrow,

September skyline, half-light, low-end heartbeat. From the rooftop of Tomorrowland Ibiza, I guided you through shadows and sunsets. The island whispered, and you listened.

This Saturday, we return.

Tomorrowland Rooftop Ibiza | 6 September 2025

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 171 is here, with energy fresh off my set at the Tomorrowland Rooftop in Playa d'en Bossa, Ibiza. The island's energy was unreal, and I’ve poured that feeling straight into this week’s show.

We kick off with Armin van Buuren, Adam Beyer, and D-Shake’s Techno Trance, then dive into Joyhauser’s 2025 version of Elements, Job Nelis’ Feel It Moving, and a wild remix of Not Gonna Get Us by Mazdem. You’ll also hear new heat from Kos:mo, Sisko Electrofanatik, and a closing remix by Victor Ruiz that hits deep.

The Midnight Project #171

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 172 is live and packed with artists who are shaping the pulse of techno right now.

We kick things off with the always-evolving Avis Vox, followed by Victor Ruiz and Mila Journée, two powerhouses consistently pushing quality through top-tier labels. HI-LO also returns to the show this week. I played this exact track last Saturday at Tomorrowland Ibiza, and it was the moment of the night. People came up asking for the ID. Pure connection on the dancefloor.

SVMMA, IOA, and Kate Hex bring fresh fire, each building their own unique imprint on the scene. Reaktive joins us with undeniable energy, and Amber Broos teams up with Bermio for a standout moment. Marie Vaunt and KURA, Nick Acid and Miss N-Traxx, and Marika Rossa all bring serious attitude, keeping things intense and raw.

We close this journey with something special. It’s a personal edit I made of a Marco Faraone edit from a Carlo Lio original. That’s three layers deep, and it’s been a powerful closer in my sets lately.

People of Tomorrowland,

There are no words strong enough, but let me try.
To everyone who stayed, danced, surrendered , thank you.

You gave me everything. The energy in that last hour was unreal… deeper than music, more than a set. It felt like a shared pulse, a collective moment of truth under the open sky. No egos, just movement. No noise, just groove.

Ibiza magic, distilled into the last 60 minutes of my four-hour set.

We will do it again, September 27th, with the people of BEN's gym, and the great team of Tomorrowland on Ibiza.

Until then… stay grounded, stay curious, stay free.

Episode 173 is live.

This week’s set is built for the real ones. The night runners, the 6 AM risers, the focused minds chasing clarity and momentum through music. That’s the lifestyle we share. No chaos, no shortcuts. Just intention and rhythm.

Some of the tracks in this episode I played as private edits at Tomorrowland. Now they’re here in full, unfiltered form, like my remix of Stagira’s “Busy Child” and the private edit of LUSU’s “BANG THE BOX.” These are records shaped by the dancefloor but made to carry with you far beyond it.

You’ll also hear powerful new selections from HI-LO, Nicole Moudaber, Ignacio Arfeli, Pablo Say, and Faithless reimagined by Space 92. Each one selected with precision to fuel whatever moment you’re in.

The Midnight Project isn’t just a mix. It’s how we live.

Hey Midnighters, it’s that time again. Welcome to Episode 174 of The Midnight Project.

This week’s show is a full-throttle ride through raw power and elegant chaos, a carefully shaped mix designed to keep your pulse racing from the first drop to the final fade. I opened the hour with Pablo Say’s “Flights Arcane,” setting the tone for a deep dive into dark grooves, punchy edits, and emotional builds.

You’ll hear Nicole Moudaber teaming up with Castion for a heavy-hitting anthem on Mood Collective, and Adam Beyer’s latest on Drumcode brings that unmistakable sense of journey. The Classic of the Week comes in strong: Space 92’s remix of DJ Jordan’s “Better Things,” a track that still hits like it’s fresh out of the studio.

There’s a unique twist midway through with my private edits of HI-LO’s “REESE” and LUSU’s “BANG THE BOX,” raw, stripped, and built for this moment.

Also on the radar this week: the cosmic force of Joyhauser, the bold tension of Poly Powder & Select Avenue, and a fire closer from Sine2 that lets the bass truly take control.

This episode is loaded with exclusives and fierce selections. Don’t just listen, feel the tracks move through you.

Hey Midnighters,

Episode #175 of The Midnight Project is live and fully charged. Focused energy. Driving rhythms. Fresh releases. This is the sound of a clear mind and a strong body in motion.

We open with My Culture by OZBEK and Zafer Atabey on Drumcode, a powerful statement of identity and sound. Mind Against and Tharat follow with Cloud, a track built on atmosphere and depth. Kos:mo brings us Samsara, blending tradition with movement.

UMEK delivered something special this week. Machina Motus landed in my inbox this Monday, and it’s one of the strongest techno tracks. Clean, direct, and engineered to hit hard.

Also in the mix is my private edit of HI-LO’s REESE, refined for maximum impact. You’ll hear peak-time energy from Joyhauser, Nadai, Estora, and Endica. Every track supports the same lifestyle we live together. Early starts. Intentional movement. Consistent growth.

This is music for running at sunrise. For tuning into your work. For building momentum that lasts.

Dear Midnighters,

This week’s episode is shaped by you. After so many of you reached out about Mind Against’s track from last week, we’re bringing them back to open the show with “Cloud.” It has become a shared favorite among our community, the kind of track that connects us no matter where we listen from.

From there, the mix moves through Daniel Weirdo, Phoenix Movement, and ADRIANNA, carrying that familiar Midnight Project energy: deep, focused, and full of movement. It’s music for both the dancefloor and the quiet moments after, for those who find rhythm in every part of life.

We close with my own track, “Louder,” made in Amsterdam. A reminder that even when life takes us to new places, our sound and spirit stay connected.

See you next week,
Sebastiaan

The Midnight Project #176

Hey Midnighters,

This week’s episode of The Midnight Project is a full-force ride into the underground. We kick off with a powerful rework by Victor Ruiz that instantly sets the pace, followed by deep and driving selections from NoNameLeft, Bruce Zalcer, and two standout tracks from Alex Ocampo. The flow is tight, the energy is real.

Pan-Pot drops a heavy hitter with “Kaltstrom,” Marco V lands strong on Drumcode, and there’s a standout remix from Tao Andra that flips the mood just right. Space 92 teams up with Malena Narvay for a banging peak-time moment, and we close with a raw techno groove from Melvin Spix and TimeKube that hits like a reset button.

The Midnight Project is about more than just music. It’s for the early risers, the creators, the builders. Whether you’re in the studio, on the move, or hitting the gym before the world wakes up, this show is your space to reset and refocus.

Episode 178 has landed, and it's a heavy one. We kick things off with Marco V and build from there. Pure momentum, no distractions. This week is all about raw energy, built for the late hours when everything else fades away.

Two exclusive IDs are in the mix, straight from the underground. Are Bee & Naomind deliver something cosmic, Whebba remixes Anahit Vardanyan into something special, and Pan-Pot brings it all home with force.

Big names. Rising talent. A seamless ride made for Midnighters who know where the real pulse is.
